Price but they were worthless

quality control terrible

I have 4 tins and they are all the same. bits of lead. bent skirts and very rough. tins will be paper weights as reminder.

The pellets have a nice weight to them easy to handle and load so far I haven't had a bad pellets. As of yet, have shot about 75 pellets or so all in all very hard-hitting pellet

nothing

these pellets will get your hands a little bit dirty. I don't know if its lead or graphite

nothing

Would not group well in my 22 Mrod..

Good looking pellet, good design, nice thumper, Pretty uniform velocities, good value.

So far this is the Only pellet that hangs up in the breech. I have to use a tool to seat the pellet, so i'm not sure if they need to be sized a little better or too hard of lead or what?

I made my own seater from a hard rubber cap and keep it in my tin of pellets. They seem to be too hard to push in with thumb pressure, but when they "pop" in they shoot good.

Aaah... they come in a can with a screw-on lid. Lemme see if I can think of anything else... Nope! Sorry.

They are dirty and have shavings... yes shavings on the inside bottom of the skirt... kinda like a lathe or drill metal shavings. Wouldn't that affect ACCURACY negatively??? Consistancy. One pellet drops in the breach and the next one, the head has to be forced just to be able to seat the skirt... WOW! .

I concur with one of the other reviewers that GAMO should probably drop the Hunter line... and maybe the whole pellet manufacturing thing altogether. Hunter Pellets?... I probably wouldn't use these if my next meal depended on their performance. These are my observations and opinion of these pellets. Your results may, and hopefully will vary, and be better. I'd spend a little more and get some Crosman Premier's or anything in the JSB line from Pyramyd if I was hunting. I mainly target shoot (and an occasional pest or varmit) so I'm looking for results where pellets touch each other on paper. Hunting is a different story where you have several inches to play with for a "kill" shot. I'm shooting a very accurate, new, broken in, Benjamin Trail NP Nitro Piston Hardwood air rifle (also from Pyramyd)... so it isn't the rifle or me, as evidenced by consistant ~1/2" groups at 15yd using JSB Match Diabolo Jumbo Exacts... and slightly larger dime-size groups with Crosman Premier HP's.

They will hit what you are aiming at.

A little more heavy.

Just regular pellets they will get the job done. Its OK for rabbits you wont be killing anything bigger with them.

Accurate, and hard hitting,

Could be a little cleaner.

These are one of my favorite pellet. They shoot great in all my air guns, Like most Gamo pellets they can be a little dirty.

good out of my falcon hunter. GOOD FOR SQUIRRELS

nothing

buy these it will be worth it.

Nothing

I would dump the line!

Just don't bother. Skirts are badly formed and they deform in the tin easily. Spend the extra pennies and get Crosman premiers.

shape, soft lead

a way to keep the soft lead skirts from getting deformed in the tin

i have gone thru 8 tins of these so far. none of my rifles are exceptionally accurate with these, but they serve the purpose i wanted them for, i decent pellet to plink with and do some light hunting with some of my springers. quality control isnt the best i've seen, but that seems par for the course with Gamo products.

Cheap

They don't seem to work too well in my Benjamin Discovery compared to Crossman Premiers HP.

accurate!

this pellet gives me almost desame as gamo match!

Wonderful accuracy, producing 0.44" 5-shot groups @ 25 yards on a gusty day out of my Gamo CFX. The price is also decent, especially for a pellet that performs so well. I also really like the screw top, as you can carry them in your pocket without fear of them popping open. PyramydAir has also begun packing their pellet shipments so well that you could literally drop a box of them from six feet onto cement without damaging them! They now use closed cell foam cut to fit each tin, separating each layer with cardboard. MAJOR kudos to the packing team!

Make tins of 500 available.

These pellets offer a lot of bang for the buck. They also appear to be swaged, with the lead folded up at the nose, so these will open up on living targets quite nicely, expanding better than other similar pellets.

Their shape, they have good penetration, price is good, they are very clean also.

Nothing at all

Good hunting pellet .

Nice price. Nice grouping compared to some more expensive pellets.

Needs more consistent shaping. Needs a better cleaning process.

Good less expensive hunting pellet.

The soft lesd compound Gamo uses turns a .22 into a .25 cal pellet once it hits a squirrel at more than 650 fps. . The last day of squirrel season I got three squirrels. All one shot,One kill. This is the first time I ever saw that with an airgun.

If shipped rough they will get all bent up and be problematic.

Not the most consistent pellet.

Low cost....nice tin....

It is what it is...an inexpensive pellet.

This is a very average, middle of the road pellet. If you are a plinker then this will serve you well without stressing out your wallet, but if you are a hunter you should use a much higher quality round.

I liked the screw-top lid

Better manufacturing process. This would allow a more consistant fit from one pellet to another.

I have several springer air rifles and have shot many pellets throughout the years. These pellets; however, are poorly sized and have no real consistancy to size, fit and flight. I would consistantly have to force the pellets into the barrel of the gun which would deform or change the shape of the pellets; this is also true for the .177 cal too. Spend a couple more dollars and get either RWS or Crosman Premier. I have never had a single problem with these two manufacturers.

Cheap, consistant and awsome accuracy at long and short distances. Great knockdown power in my walther falcon hunter (.22) first pellet ive tried in it, and since i can place a 5 shot group in a 1/2 inch square at 20 yards i dont need to try anything else

nothing

cheap and even if its not the best pellet in your gun its only $4.29!!! cant beat the price for small game hunting and random plinking, very cost efficient

Nothing

This was pretty much the worst container of pellets I have ever purchased. Nearly every one was deformed (like a dirty pressing of the lead or something) in addition to about 60% damaged skirts. I wouldn't put ONE of these even in my worst gun.

They went straight into the trash. Check out the RWS domed pellets--- they have a reliable shape and sturdy skirts
