By Michael from USA on 2010-09-13 14:45:03 Things I liked:Uniformity, weight and minimal lead residue.Things I would have changed:Can you say "screw top can?" What others should know:I like to shoot premium pellets like RWS/Meisterkuglen, H&N, JSB etc especially when shooting paper targets for maximum accuracy. However, I have found the Hobby pellets to be very close in accuracy, with the same uniformity of appearance and minimal lead residue. I use them in all my guns for plinking and casual paper target shooting. A fine product at an excellent price and you can't beat the Pyramid Air packaging and service. |  |

By cicone from USA on 2011-12-05 10:43:05 Things I liked:They seem fairly uniform.Things I would have changed:Perhaps they could be made to fit a magazine without pushing them in place with a pencil eraser or some other object. I would expect better from RWS. There is a reason why these are the cheap RWS pellets. What others should know:If you notice your gun/trigger jamming while using these pellets, remove your magazine and take a close look. Chances are the pellets are not fully seated and the skirt is protruding slightly above the magazine. Push them in with a pencil eraser---you'll feel them pop into place. The RWS Meisterkugeln pellets fit perfectly by pressing into place with your fingers. They cost a lot more, but are much better fit and accuracy. |

- Things I liked:Great pellet flies pretty straight, not too many damaged ones in a container.
Things I would have changed:Nothing
What others should know:These pellets fit well in the Umerex 8 shot clips, but some are a little loose the Match10 pellets fit much tighter. - Things I liked:Clean and very accurate in my Walther lever action rifle.
Things I would have changed:Not a thing.
What others should know:Well, something I'd like to know...how they do in other pellet guns. I intend to test them out. - Things I liked:These are alright. They are slightly larger on the skirt and fit quite tight in my Gamo PT85 clip. A little too tight for me.
What others should know:I can't see that they are anymore accurate than the Crosman wadcutters I've been shooting. - Things I liked:Concidering the low cost these are an exelent value. They have been very accurate in my browning 800 mag pistol.
Things I would have changed:nothing
What others should know:practice-practice-practice - Things I liked:Have them for my Browning 800 Mag and Daisy 889. Very accurate in both.
What others should know:Great for the money. - Things I liked:Consistency and accuracy. Makes me wonder why I buy the expensive pellets for matches when hobbys shoot so well.
Things I would have changed:How about a 8.4 grain pellet. - Things I liked:Very consistent shape. Accuracy is excellent for price. Clean. Seems to have a very slightly larger diameter at the skirt than other pellets. Typical high-quality RWS ammo product...
What others should know:After trying MANY types of pellets in my Umarex Beretta 92, and shooting MANY rounds in a basement "range" (15K+), I have settled on the RWS Hobby as the best performing pellet for the money. Slightly larger skirt size makes this the only pellet I have found so far that works consistently in the Air Venturi Diablo speed loader for the Beretta's 8-shot magazines/clips (BTW - loader is a must have if you do any amount of shooting). - Things I liked:This pellet comes so close to match pellet accuracy in the 2 primary guns I use it in that it is hard to justify buying the match. In my IZH 46 1/2" groups from rest are the norm at 25 yds. In an old S&W 79, CO2, gun a pop can at 25 yds has a very limited life span.
Things I would have changed:nothing - Things I liked:Uniformity, weight and minimal lead residue.
Things I would have changed:Can you say "screw top can?"
What others should know:I like to shoot premium pellets like RWS/Meisterkuglen, H&N, JSB etc especially when shooting paper targets for maximum accuracy. However, I have found the Hobby pellets to be very close in accuracy, with the same uniformity of appearance and minimal lead residue. I use them in all my guns for plinking and casual paper target shooting. A fine product at an excellent price and you can't beat the Pyramid Air packaging and service. - Things I liked:Low cost but a quality pellet. It has been one of my standard pellets for low powered guns.
Things I would have changed:Like everyone else a screw on lid would be nice.
What others should know:Size seems a little under some of the others but in most of the low powered pump and CO2 guns it doesn't matter. A good, consistantly shaped pellet for a low cost. - Things I liked:light weight good quality large skirt diameter (especially great for many vintage springer airguns)
Things I would have changed:Consistency--Hobbys tend to vary in weight and skirt diameter more than I like. Chrono testing hints there are 2 or 3 different machines contributing to each tin.
What others should know:IMHO by far the best-quality, most consistent pellet of such light weight. The Hobby is one of my standards for velocity testing in most airguns--a great way to establish a "reasonable maximum velocity" for most guns (as opposed to the very questionable figures published by manufacturers), and useful for comparing guns. The large skirt diameter is not well-suited to all airguns. Take a look at the RWS Diabolo Basic as an alternate for guns with tighter bores. - Things I liked:I Like these pellets a lot, I shoot vintage webley pistols mostly, and the soft lead skirt fits the barrel very well, and delivers very good accuracy.
Things I would have changed:As always, cost a little less?
What others should know:Great pellet for the money, in a pistol, it is hard to tell the difference between these and the more expensive miesterkrugen - Things I liked:Excellent pellet at this price point. Very uniform consistency
Things I would have changed:Nothing
What others should know:One of the most accurate in my IZH 46M and IZH 61 - Things I liked:These pellets shoot extremely well in my Beretta 92 (almost as well as the more expensive Meisterkulgen). They are very clean.
Things I would have changed:Well, if they could package them in larger tins with even better pricing, that would be great. But I wouldn't change anything with the pellet itself.
What others should know:These are a bargain. Throw in the Pyramid "buy 4, get 1 free" deal, and they are an even bigger bargain. This pellet, along with RWS Diabolo, are all I shoot now. - Things I liked:Excellent pellets for the price. These are my everyday pellets, when shooting my Beretta 92FS and Walther CP99. They're not as consistant as Meisterkugeln, but in this price range, I have yet to shoot any better pellets. They also work flawlessly in the RWS speedloader
Things I would have changed:I wish the tin came with a screw on cap.
What others should know:Not the best pellets out there, but quite possibly the best bang for my buck, so far. - Things I liked:They seem uniform with little trouble loading them into the chamber
Things I would have changed:Nothing.
What others should know:I am new to airgunning but these pellets worked very well in a pump gun. They go farther on target than the heavier pellets and the lightness seems to have no effect on overall shooting. More distance with a lower powered gun which makes for more fun. - Things I liked:Accuracy is every bit as good as I can use from any of my pistols. Weight and shapes are extremely uniform. For the price, can't be beat.
Things I would have changed:Nothing that wouldn't change the price.
What others should know:These are not match pellets, but they're darn close! - Things I liked:Inexpensive. Fairly clean.
Things I would have changed:Improve the consistency of the size.
What others should know:Good value for the price. Fairly clean, not a lot lead shavings. The head size is not very consistent. Some are much harder than others to put in the breech. The skirt of some of the pellets are also slightly deformed. I would switch to R-10 after I use up this batch of Hobby pellets. Knowing that I am using match grade pellets and having one fewer thing to worry about during each shot is worth the extra cost for me. - Things I liked:Great quality, great value.
Things I would have changed:Nothing ... maybe a better tin.
What others should know:These work well in lower velocity air pistols such as my Beeman P3 and HW45. - 123
