Things I liked:

I tried these in my RWS 34 and couldn't keep them on paper. Use Ultra shock 16.6 and they were spot on. Tried them again with same results. Guess I can use them for fishing weights. The 28.6 gr shot well out of my rifle. I use open sights at 15 yards off hand.

    Things I liked:

    Its not dirty ammo and most of it looks good. I really had maybe one flyer and thats it out of a 100.

    Things I would have changed:

    Nothing to the ammo but make bigger canisters and more ammo. 100 packs dont cut it.

    Things I liked:

    I like the size and shape of these pellets. They come in a plastic container which is no big deal to me. Nice weight and balance to them. However I wasn't able to use them.

    Things I would have changed:

    Nothing really, they're just too long for my Hatsan AT44. Perhaps make them shorter.

    What others should know:

    Unfortunately I wasn't able to use these pellets in my Hatsan AT44-10 QE Long .22 cal PCP because they are too long for the magazine. These pellets are approximately 10.9 mm long. I am sure these are good pellets if your gun can fit them and fire them. Unfortunately manufactures can't satisfy everyone. I am only giving a low rating because I wasn't able to use them not because they're a bad pellet. Good luck if these work for your gun.

    Things I liked:

    Excellent weight.

    Things I would have changed:

    Container needs to be improved.

    What others should know:

    I have successfully dieseled these pellets in my Shockwave rifle and they were fairly accurate at 25 yards. The knock-down is simply awesome! I easily shot through 3/4" plywood at 5 yards. However, I wouldn't make it a habit of dieseling (any pellet gun) as damage WILL eventually occur.

    Things I liked:

    Length and shape seems to be just right for velocity retention. And the weight for penetration and shock is right there.

    Things I would have changed:

    More concise and precise head diameters would be better for hunting. This is a hunting round of which I believe should be as accurate, or as close as possible, as a match round. You know, an accurate shot is a humane shot.

    What others should know:

    You all know that all guns shoot different sizes and weights of projectiles. These pellets were close on consistent size: head, skirt, length, and weight, by .02 mm and .3 grain. You gun may digest these rounds better than mine. Overall, they are not bad for accuracy in my rifle up to 30 yards, 1 inch group.

    Things I liked:

    I didn't care for it,I use FX Guns, and the clips in my guns don't really take this Predator well at all,plus the ends are not well constructed, they become easily miss shappen when you load you clip, hence the lack of it being on target.

    Things I would have changed:

    they need to get away from the plastic container.

    What others should know:

    nope

    Things I liked:

    well made pellets deliver consistent shots

    Things I would have changed:

    optional copper plating or tips would be even better

    What others should know:

    These pellets carry a lot of momentum behind them, they hit with a lot of force but penetrate nicely retaining their aerodynamic shape through soft targets they seem to mushroom or deform only upon hitting hard targets such as wood or trees. These work very well in high powered rifles for small game hunting or obliterating targets fifty or one hundred or more feet away!

    Things I liked:

    I really like the weight and design of the pellets. The extra weight has a great impact on game.

    Things I would have changed:

    The skirt dimensions vary some from pellet to pellet. The result is a little variance in accuracy. Otherwise a great product.

    Things I liked:

    A hard hitting fast pellet. a good balance between speed and kinetic energy transfer.

    Things I would have changed:

    a 250 pellet screw top tin

    What others should know:

    A wicked pissah pellet!( as we say in Massachusetts ) Shoots wonderful in my Talon SS .22 w/24" barrel. A bit pricey to plink with. Never had a deformed pellet in any caliber. ( the .177 is a bad mamma jamma too )

    Things I liked:

    These are one of the heaviest Pelets I've gotten. theye do fit into the Marauder Pistol Magazine.

    Things I would have changed:

    Things I liked:

    Out of a Gamo Silent Cat, these penetrate through both sides of a punching bag at 15 yards. It's not a pellet to be used on traps. It is a pellet to be used on things you want holes through. Very accurate, too. Have yet to see any deformities in the tin.

    Things I would have changed:

    The tin is less than nice. Some threading would really improve it, it barely stays shut on its own.

    What others should know:

    If you can put these in a spare tin, they're a great pellet to have. I'd say you can achieve match-grade accuracy with them.

    Things I liked:

    Nicely shaped, hits very hard, excellent for hunting on my Diana 350 Magnum. 20-30 yards it's very accurate.

    Things I would have changed:

    I wish they would sell them in higher quantities (200-500 pellets per tin).

    What others should know:

    After I opened the tin, I put the pellets in a little can where I washed them in WD-40, because the pellets had some dirt and dust from the factory. This procedure improved the velocity by atleast 10-15%, and kept the barrel cleaner for a longer time.

    Things I liked:

    Hard Hitting and pretty accurate out to 30 yards with my .22 cal. crossman nitro venom air rifle.

    Things I would have changed:

    Make them in a soild skirt insted of a tappered skirt, make some in hollow points as well.

    What others should know:

    Good all around pellet for hunting squirrels and rabits out of an air rifle that shoots 950 fps. I have had nothing but pure satisfaction with these pellets. Mainly for hunting only and not so much for competition target shooting.

    Things I liked:

    Excellent accuracy and hitting power! Flipped a tree rat end for end from a mediocre .22 Beeman RS2! Devastating!

    Things I would have changed:

    Nothing

    What others should know:

    Impact and FPE will diminish with greater distance, but this will hit VERY HARD inside 30 yards. I have not made a shot past that, so I can't comment on impact at ranges greater than 30 yds.

    Things I liked:

    Uniformity. Impact.

    Things I would have changed:

    Need Better Accuracy. If the accuracy had been better I'd have given them higher marks.

    What others should know:

    I tried these in my Discovery and 392. Accuracy was not Good. Poor, actually. Also tried JSB Monsters, Gamo TS-22, JSB Jumbo Heavy, and Eun Jin. The Jumbo Heavy gave the best accuracy. But, since they aren't significantly heavier than Beeman FTS, or as accurate, I will stick with FTS. Better a Precise hit, than a powerful miss.

    Things I liked:

    This is a heavy and hard hitting pellet. It compleatley burried itself in a pressure treated 4x 4 at 30 yards. It grouped well staying within a 1 1/2 to 2 inch group for 5 shots at 30 yds and groups quite well.

    Things I would have changed:

    nothing

    What others should know:

    careful with back stops as this is a heavy hitter and will damage light materal

    Things I liked:

    Finish was very good; chambered easily; shot very good 25 yd groups from my RWS 350 Magnum.

    Things I would have changed:

    These pellets are expensive in my opinion.

    What others should know:

    If you hunt with heavy pellets these are definitely worth trying. I've had a hard time finding pellets that shoot tight groups from my air rifle, so far the Big Boys are one of my top two picks.

    Big Boy packs a whollap. I haven't shot a squirrel yet. I think they saw what Big Boy did to a can and are afraid to show their fuzzy tails in my garden. I also feel they didn't reduce the accuracy of my Theoban despite their weight.

    Things I would have changed:

    Nothing

    What others should know:

    I am sure having a powerful air gun helps to keep accuracy.
