Page 2 - Beeman Kodiak Match, .177 Reviews

This is a superior pellet. I used it in my .177 BSA Lightning GRT. The pellet averaged 734 fps at the muzzle and is the most accurate in the gun. I randomly weighted 5 pellets on my digital scale and got 10.5 grains exactly for each. It says 10.65 on the product but the weight is well controlled at 10.5 grains. I used my chrono and measured at the muzzle and 18 yards downrange just in front of my target to calculate the BC. After some quick calculations the BC was 0.0243. That is right where it should be. Five shot groupings in the .38" - .45" were the norm at 20 yds. Armed with all my data and using a mil-dot scope I am hitting realistic targets reliably at 50 yds.

Give us a 500 ct tin of pellets please even 1000!

Using a chrono at the muzzle and at the target gives interesting data about the flight of pellets from your rifle. It will quickly show spikes or losses in velocity and any major changes in standard deviation at the target. These are indicative of poor accuracy.

Nice fit in my AirForce Condor SS. Vary accurate 5 shot groups, well under 1/2" in relatively poor shooting conditions. Damp northwest WA in December, shooting temps low 40's with light wind gusts.

More, in a screw on lid or by 1200 plus count box

Vary few bent skirts. If your gun has adjustable power settings, try them at a verity of settings to find the sweet spot before giving up on them. Really tightened the group up in my Condor SS, pellets lightly lubed, In the damp conditions in winter, thinly laminated targets help to reduce shot-hole tearing :-)

They work great in my Crosman Remington NPSS 177. 10 meter 1/8 inch group and holds true a 20meter (1.4 inch).

Well-made.

Pricey.

Expensive given that there are only 300 in a tin. There are other rounded pellets of the same weight out there made by other manufacturers that are less expensive. I found these to be nothing special, which was disappointing given the price.

High quality pellet.

Works great in a Crosman 2300S, Talon SS 177, and RWS 350.

Quality pellet!! Hit hard, really clean and consistent. Great fit

Not harping on the tin, no big deal

Heavy pellet. Medium powered springers don't like em much

Good heavy .177 round that works good on rats. Carries well out to 25 yards after which accuracy drops off dramatically

Quality control during manufacture could improve as about 1 in 5 pellets resulted in keyholes and or flyers off target.

Don't expect accuracy much beyond 25 hoards

These have been my go to pellets for over 1500 rounds and I have not been disappointed until this last order. The pellets from prior orders have been very uniform in size and shape with very few fliers. This last order was a new batch and I have had some problems with fliers and skirts that are deformed. These pellet have been very accurate in my Air Arms Mk III (930fps) and Benjamin Marauder (1050 fps), both in .177 shooting dimes off a sand bag at 30 yrds and 30 mtrs.

Like everyone screw on lids would be nice.

As mentioned by others if you find a batch of pellets that work for you order as many of that run as you can afford.

I love these pellets! Just yesterday I set a new record (for me) with my Beeman rs2. With the .177 cal barrel, at 30 yards I shot a 3 round 1/2" group... At 25' it hits 1" low, at 15 yards it hits right on, at 30 yards it hits about 1' high, so I suspect it is back on at about 50 or 60 yards. I know it sure is shooting flat! Can't wait to get this out where I can see what it will do at longer ranges.

The only thing I can think of is maybe some copper coated ones.

In the Beeman these penetrate almost as much as the .22 cal pellets. Be sure of your backstop. These pellets are sooo worth the $. This can was sent to me by accident. When I called Pyramyd to point this out they told me to just injoy them. PYRAMYD still #1 ...

Shoots the best out of my Gamo HP Varmit Hunter accurate , very good penatration Devastates squirrels

500 in a tin

Heavier pellets seem to be a lot more accurate in the magnum springers

Clean pellets that shoot great through my AirArms TX200 MKIII. Fit in the barrel tight and holds great groups at 30 yards.

Nothing other than like everyone else a screw top lid.

These pellets cost a bit more but they are worth the extra cost. Uniform pellets in shape, size and weight.

Pellets were clean and well shaped. Shot very well in my RWS54.

Screw cap on can to minimize spillage.

Even though beeman supposed to be make by H&N they are totally different. These kodiak's have always done me good. They worked exceptionally well out of my chopped and choked npxl 1500.

Nothing at all. but everything isn't for everybody. you atleast got to try em once

Even though beeman supposed to be make by H&N they are totally different in shooting characteristics

I have a Beemans Original + 4 Dianawerks Model 6 T-01 near mint in box...This is a excellent grade of ammo. It hits hard and accurate, works well in most .177 cal air guns I have... Love em... Excellent for head shots on small pests or game. Hits hard and flattens into stars n flowers on heavy rolled steel knockdown too. All around top drawer!

nothing

Use these and mail a few to your pals so they can test em. We mail rounds to each other so we can duplicate results in experiments. Have fun, wear eye protection when shooting always! shoot safely, never take down pests or game unless you have a clear head or back of neck shot.

Very uniform. Very accurate.

Nothing

This is the most accurate pellet in my Beeman HW77 and R9. Hard hitting. It will kill a cat or crow @ 35yds. shot from either rifle. Most accurate pellet I have found.

accurate round if you are looking for a good sub sonic load for high power rifles.

a little high in price but worth it

The most accurate pellet in my R9 to date. Pellets are very consistent. With my digital scale, a batch of 25 didn't vary more than .02 grain.

Pellet wise, nothing just keep em' comming. I'm no different than most everyone else...a screw tin would be nice.

Through my 60 plus years of shooting rifle, shotgun and pistol, the single thing that most contributes to accuracy, is consistency. Everything MUST be consistent from shot-to-shot if accuracy is to be achieved. In reloading rifle cartridges for instance, brass type, primer pocket depth, inside deburring, and bullet seating depth must be consistent so the projectile in the barrel will be in the same place EVERY TIME. Why am I talking about fire arms when I should be talking about air guns? Simple…the principles are exactly the same. For accuracy’s sake, the pellet needs to be at the same seating depth in the breech. With PCP guns, this is achieved when the pellet is pushed home with the bolt. That’s not so with barrel break spring guns. In my R9, I use a [Beeman Pell Seat], no longer in production I believe. You can achieve the same results with a ball point pen or any other similar device. If you want to shoot sub .250 groups at 25 yards, you must be consistent. Find the pellet your particular rifle likes, practice, be consistent, and watch those groups shrink. Good luck!

Price,Quality, Hey They group great!

The world want a screw lid...me too!

They preform well in my Air Hawk.(After trying way too many pellets..) I was about to think it was a bad barrel, But after these, I am impressed. Would I Recommend these, Yes!! And you can get them right Here!!

Best pellet I have found for my RWS 350 Magnum. I have tried 28 different pellets and this is the best.

Screw on lid for the tin.

Shoots straight out to 20 yards. Will be going for 50 yards soon.

speed of delivery these pellets shoot well

nothing
