Things I liked:

Very clean and uniform wad cutter pellet. Lives up to the standard of H&N as a foremost pellet manufacturer.

Things I would have changed:

Nothing. A really good economy pellet.

What others should know:

This is a pellet well worth the price. Well fit my new Benjamin Trail Nitro Pistol whereas the Crosman wadcutters were too lose in the breech. The better seal resulted in better patterns at POI.

Things I liked:

Uniformity.

Things I would have changed:

Larger head and skirt diameter.

What others should know:

I've had excellent accuracy with the Excite Econs and expected similar results with the Plinkers. Not so. The Plinkers were the first pellets I've encountered that would not give good accuracy in my Walther LVG Special. I believe the Excite Plinkers I tried were undersize.

    Things I liked:

    I'm sure these pellets work very well in most pellet guns, but not in my Smith & Wesson revolver. I will use them in my rifle, but they were purchased to use in my revolver. I'm glad I didn't buy but one tin.

    Things I would have changed:

    H & N should make note that these pellets will not work in a Smith & Wesson Mod. 586 revolver.

    What others should know:

    I don't know what the problem is but the cylinder, on my S & W mod. 586, will not rotate when loaded with these pellets. The Excite Econ works really well in my revolver.

    Things I liked:

    Great price for 500 pellets, they are nice and clean, no deformed that I have found, shoot quite well.

    Things I would have changed:

    They are very nice as-is.

    What others should know:

    Worth a shot! (sorry for the pun)

    Things I liked:

    price

    Things I would have changed:

    no opinion

    What others should know:

    these had about the same results as the Econ pellets did, accuracy not real good but if you looking for a pellet just to shoot for fun this would be that pellet, i'll use em for breaking in new barrels etc.

    Screw on lid.

    What others should know:

    This pellet flies truer than I can aim.

    Things I liked:

    Price and quality are great on these. Most accurate and consistent yet our out of my CP99 vs. Crosman Premier and RWS Diabolo basic.

    Things I would have changed:

    Nothing. Totally satisfied so far!

    What others should know:

    Perfect plinking pellets in CO2 pistols. Consistency in size and shape is on par with RWS Diabolo basic and better than the Crosman Premier.

    Things I liked:

    This is an excellent "plinking" pellet that I use in CO2 pellet pistols. This is the only brand, that I can get to stay in pre-loaded Umarex 8-shot pellet cylinders. The other brands all fall out.

    Things I would have changed:

    I prefer pellet tins that are threaded to prevent pellet spillage in my range box. However, these haven't spilled yet.

    What others should know:

    I'd like to try the other H&N variety "Econ," as the quality control looks very good on these.

    Things I liked:

    These are very consistant shooting pellets out of my Hatsan Alpha. Pefect out of a lower velocity gun.

    Things I would have changed:

    Nothing

    What others should know:

    Great value and quality.

    Things I liked:

    These are accurate, and affordable my 2300S, and 1377B air pistols both do well with these hitting informal soda cans from 15-25 yards.

    Things I would have changed:

    Nothing.

    What others should know:

    These are not as consistent as other more expensive European pellets, that being said they will perform great with air pistols within 25 yards. I recommend these for new airgunners as price is good and accuracy.

    Things I liked:

    Uniform and clean, compares favourably to the RWS basic. Good short range paper and alum can pellet.

    Things I would have changed:

    Screw top lid would be nice.

    What others should know:

    By plinking I'm thinking they mean mid to low velocity. These did poorly in my higher power air rifles that the H&N match wadcutters do well with. However in my lower velocity CO2 and HW30s they are fine. A real bargain at this price.
