Page 2 - Gamo Raptor PBA, .177 Reviews

Great pellet and very high velocity, very hard, and very accurate.

more quantities availible

You should try and shoot these rounds with an IGT or inert gas piston or nitro piston because of the sheer power they need to fly at high speeds. the hardness of them doesnt allow lower FPS gun the expand the skirt on exit thus making them turbulent. TRY them with an IGT for precision shooting.

accuracy, there right on target so you can't beat them

nothing

nope!!!

WOW these things are AWESOME. 1" group at 50 yards.

Lets get these things in a box.

Like the Gamo Rocket .177 Cal, 9.6 Grains, Ballistic Tip (BUT MUCH BETTER). They pack a punch and like said before. Good buy shoot at 1200 fps in my Gamo Big Cat 1200. watch what you shoot at. like stated before if you didn't know a 22 long rife bullet travels between 950 to 1700 fps. this will do damage. NOT FOR KIDS

Consistant, high velocity. Very accurate! Makes a nearly perfect, easy to score puncture through a paper target at 10 meters and even at 50 feet . I have found them superior to many other pellets that were designed specifically for target use.

This product should be made available in a larger quantity container at a reduced cost.

Nothing! Complete waste of my money. Very inaccurate in every gun tried.

Take them off the market.

Don't waste your money!

Used in my Gamo 1250 fps and my Daisy 540 fps pistol. Increases accuracy. I've noticed CO2 lasting longer in the pistol. The 1250fps rifle w 4x scope was 95% accurate at 50 yards.

They are a bit too pricey unless you are using cardboard targets, allowing you to reuse them. I've never reused mine in the past so they cost too much.

The "crack" sound when you fire them out of a 1300+fps air rifle. It actually sounds much like you are firing a .22LR due to the pellet exceeding the sound barrier at the muzzle.

I am not sure if this is due to my airgun being over powered for this type of pellet, but I seldom hit what I am shooting at with these. I can fire a couple of these and not hit a 5"x5" paper target either time, at distances of 50 feet. But then I can load regular lead pellets and put a group the size of a half dollar in the same target... I truly believe that these are just not a good match for my rifle, so I hate to give them a bad review, but they are simply of no use to me, other than the novelty of the loud sound when they are fired...

None

Just Nothing Disappointing.

Every Thing.

It Says Gold Right? But I Grabbed A Knife And Chipped A Piece Of It Fell Of And Inside It Is Plain Metal Its Just Painted Plus WARNING! Do Not Use This The Pellets Are So Light Its Similar To Dry Firing It And Can Damage Your Gun Had To Replace My Gun 2 Times Already

These shot a group about 3/8" of an inch at 25 yards; we used a Gamo Carbine Elite; also shot about 3/4" of an group using 2 different Gamo Big Cat rifles. The Raptor PBA was a good choice for us.....

Pyramyd Air was great to deal with..........

Sharp looking with their gold plating. Nice and light for super high velocity.

Make the skirts of the pellets more narrow.Lower the price of them, too.

I bought both the Gamo gold plated P.B.A.s, as well as the gray "Platinum" .177 pellets, and I found that I preferred the "Platinums". The skirts on the gold plated pellets seem to be too wide, and therefore I could not get them to fit into the magazine of my BEAUTIFUL Beretta PX 4 Storm. I had no difficulty with the gray PBAs, though. Also I like the fact that if these pellets are fired into cardboard or paper they do NOT seem to deform at all, and so I can re-use them which saves me a LOT of money !

Most accurate of the four pellets I tried out of my Gamo pellet gun.

Nothing

No

Breaks the sound barrier with my gamo silent cat. Nice crack sound sounds like a real gun, fairly accurate, though have not tested more than 30 yrds. Fun when you want to show off to your friends. It's gold!

Kinda pricey. Make them have pointed ends.

Don't shoot these around your neighbors, they are going to think its a real gun going off.

It breaks the sound barrier and cracks like a .22LR. Good to showoff to people

how light it is, since it is breaking the sound barrier it becomes "unstable" in flight and keyholes targets (the pellet hits the target sideways instead of perfect circle). If you have a springer then firing these pellets are almost the same as dry firing which over time damage the sears and pistons. Also i got mine with my big cat and in a gamo high performance pack and about 25 of the PBA ammo from one of those packs where 22s instead of 17 caliber.

can damage springers and are very unaccurate if your gun is rated 1000fps with lead since it breaks sound barrier. Maybe it could be accurate with pump guns and some pcp guns since they dont go as close to breaking sound barrier.

There plated in gold?

Make the pellet at least accurate enough where you no you can go to them when you have that clutch shot you have to take.

Not a good pellet even shot out of a Gamo air rifle. My Gamo shoots great just keep these things far away from it.

the gold coating or plating

the shape of the pellet i would make it a superpoint than a round dome shape one

this is pretty weired since my daisy powerlinr 35 can break the soundbarrier but i thought u need at least 1000fps tp break the soundbarrier but my guns only 625fps but with lead pellet it dosent crack it but the gamo gold raptor breaks it easily

Lead free and a coating to keep the rifle barrel clean. I Field-Tested these pellets on vermin around my farm and I was impressed. You can take down mid-size vermin like opossum and fox with one head shot, something lead could not accomplish.

More quality on the inner skirts. Lower the price.

Make sure you readjust the zero on your scope, If you dont they will aim high and to the right. These pellets have a flatter trajectory. I would not suggest you use these pellets in town sounds like a mini rim-fire 1137 FPS out of my crosman storm echoey crack sound. Nickle size groups at 15 yards not bad. Don't worry about the animals I mentioned they eat my chickens and I had a .22 rim-fire as back up in case things did not go as planned.

nothing!! gamo should be ashamed to sell and put there name on this pellet. i own a gamo air rifle and love it, but these stink!!

most pellets are different than the others, they are like finger prints none of them are the same. much needed better quality control and the weights are all off, i weighed 10 pellets and about 6 had different weight, not a good pellet at all. very inaccurate and many flyers out of my gamo big cat 1200. and shooting through a chrony 1200 ft a second is a lie too, get your stuff together gamo!!!

don't buy, a very poor quality and inaccurate pellet.

Good penetration from 3 ft away

Sell em for a dollar

cant hit anything with em and they suck but other than that they are fine the 1.99 cent daisy 7.5 gr in the dirty tin will hit things but they dont travel at 1200 FPS but neither do these more like 1000 FPS

Shiny , clean fingers , fast ,

IN my new Gamo Socom it didnt do well. With the gun sandbagged front and rear it shoots Crossman ultra magnums at 3/4 of an inch at 50 yds and Gamo Red Fires the same Excellent accuracy but the Gold PBA's are 5 inches higher and not accurate at all in dead calm conditions it would shoot high way right like 4" right then next shot 5" left it did this over and over with 250 shots thru my Gamo Socom it still throws them all over, But the Red Fires and Crossman magnums are accurate and consistent Mabee it is just my gun ????? Mabee Not !!!

Easily goes super sonic out a 1000fps springer. Keeps barrel pretty clean with the thin coating of gold.

More for your money, smooth the mold lines on the sides.

The only thing these are really good for is impressing your friends (and at least for me) yourself every once in a while. I would'nt reccomend these for anything larger than birds or squirrels, the round nose impedes penetration on soft targets like possums and may not be a one shot kill.
