Page 2 - Hyper-Velocity Field Pellets, .22 Reviews

These pellets pellets are perhaps the most penetrating pellets I have found yet when the targets are solid and not absorbing energy through deflection. At 50 ft these are as accurate as any other pellet I've tried, and extremely fast.

Not a single thing!

These are a pellet everyone should at least try. While all guns perform differently with certain pellets, I can tell you these work excellently out of a .22 caliber Remington Summit. In trying these, you will come to realize just how much the different design of a pellet makes in performance. These are an extremely hard hitting pellet.

These pellets have the best penetrating capability I have ever saw. They are accurate and fast, and easier to load than many pellets.

Nothing!

These are definitely worth a try if you are looking for more penetration. Many factors are probably involved in their performance. But, in a .22 caliber Remington Summit...I will most honestly tell you they are an awesome pellet. These pellets plow through sheet metal and wood very effortlessly, and this should be kept in mind as to what is behind what you are using for a backstop.

The best penetrating pellet you can buy in .22 Cal. Will increase penetration in stronger and weaker airguns.

Nothing, this is my favorite round to plink with. It's fun to try and find things a 30 ft/lb power-plant can't put this pellet through.

This pellet has been mentioned for hunting but I don't agree with shooting anything bigger than a mouse with it as the green sabot separates from the metal spike upon impact, simply bouncing away as the metal spike is "injected" into the target and almost always coming out the other end. The wound this would cause to larger game is likely to be extremely painful but with limited trauma as the tiny metal bar will go clear through taking its energy with it. There are many better choices for hunting.

These things hit hard! Will go through a quarter at 50ft. I have a hopped up AS2250XT pushing these little babies out at 1000fps. Fairly accurate at closer ranges but I have yet to try anything over 70ft

No Lead. Non-deforming.

Something. These aren't acceptably accurate in any of my guns.

I have shot these through 8 different pellet guns. Beeman R10, Benjamin 392, two Crosman 180's, Crosman 2200, Benjamin EB Pistol, Crosman 2260, and Discovery. These don't produce acceptable accuracy in Any of them. I had thought that because they are made by the same outfit that makes Predators, that they would perform on par with those. They Don't. I bought too many of these. I gave most of them away to others to try. I have a few left for Curios. I like to consider Air Rifle Enthusiasts a Fraternity. And so, My Fellows, I can't, in Good Conscience, recommend these, for Any purpose.

It seem's Skenco has changed their design, This time they got it bang on. These pellets now look like their Type 1 .177 counterpart, The first change is that the metal point is not flush with the "sabot" anymore, like the .177 it now has a smaller metal pointed insert that's around .150mm, while the "sabot" is .22mm. When the pellet strikes an object, the "sabot" is left at the point of entry, the actual metal point keep's on travelin', with usually enough energy to come out the other side.I seen this happen when I bagged a "Jack" w/a headshot this fall, using a modded QB-57 Deluxe(w/a m/v of 740fps using H&N CoppaPoint's @ 15.72gr,. & 925fps w/ the Skenco, which should give you an idea of how much of an increase you get by using these as opposed to lead), and these pellet's are coming in at 10.3gr,. as opposed to the RWS counterpart at 11.3gr,. I also like the fact these pellet's do well in all of my .22 shooters. These pellet's will do well on almost any kind of small game you'll come across. The way the point is centered into the round makes it virtually impossible for any alloy contact with your rifling. Great Job Skenco!! Keep up the good work!

Other than the usual asking to lower the price, Nothing at all.

Any serious a/g hunter's should give these a try, especially all the 2240 owners out there, these are a great round's. I also want to say that a couple drops of pellet lube in your container gives a noticeable improvement in grouping's. Cheer's, and Happy Huntin', Andy.

FIT SNUGLY IN THE CHAMBER AND WHEN THEY HIT A TARGET, THEY HIT IT HARD, ACHEEVED FULL PENITRATION OF A SALT TREATED 1 X 4 BOARD AT 30 YARDS!

Nothing I like them just as they are packaged.

make sure you have a clean bore if you have been shooting a lot of lead, as it slows down the pellet as the plastic drags against it, causing inconsistant point of impact, clean bore, the group right in there.

I love the idea.

They fit very loosely in my Theoban Sirraco. I could hear the piston slam against the cylinder.

High Speed Pellet!! Lead free.Penetrating .Perfect for medium power c02 pistols.Amazed with this one.

Nothing.

This i tested on my Crosman 2240 pistol and in is EXCELLENT. Very good penetration on sheet metal targets at 20-25 feet. Went clean through them but after 8th shot on a new cylinder power goes down.First 8-9 shots are a blast! I am considering to buy the Crosman 2260 single shot c02 rifle and see how the velocity does with this pellet,Cant wait ,so far they are very fast/deadly. Also i have to mention ,do wear eye protection if shooting at close targets , Green plastic sobot tends to fly back at impact as the metal pellet goes into target.Sometimes the whole pellet goes right through target and keeps going ,so if unsure of back ground ,set up a sturdy trap to catch these little rockets. No miss fires ,and lead free is perfect ,This is a pellet not to take lightly!Perfect pellet rating i have to leave .Excellent for low -medium power air guns (Will get ALOT more velocity).They are very well designed, And i will get more.

Very high velocity.Lead free.penetrating power.

Nothing. An Excellent made pellet.

This is one very fast /high velocity -deadly pellet. The pistol i used it with is the Crosman 2240. At 15- 20 feet it went through sheet metal targets with ease. Didnt key hole at this distance ,just made a hole in them and some of the green plastic sabots came bouncing back .And a few stuck right in metal target after metal pellet traveled through.And make shift back stop sometimes stops them. At 30 -40 feet these still have enough power to shatter glass bottles also. Noticed at longer ranges they tend to go off some .Maybe i need a higher velocity pistol or rifle to get them to stay on line at long distance. but for the crosman 2240 and range i shoot them at ,they are excellent. Also do make sure of back ground and surrounding area for fly aways ,these do go through alot of material if not stoped adequetly, can be deadly. Wear eye protection and be extra carefull ,especially with these fast /well made pellets.

I liked the concept of shooting a .22 cal lead free high velocity sabot projectile, safety in handling, and environmentally safe.

I would balance this type of pellet; add one or two more expansion rings around this sabot projectile for stability, less blow-by, and for flatter trajectory.

I zeroed my Beeman Sportsman .22 cal RS2 Series air rifle at the manufactures recommended distance of 35 ft., using Predator Polymag .22 cal 16 gr. pellets; (excellent pellet by the way), researching these Predator Polymag pellets on the internet I came across these Skenco lead free airgun pellets, I thought that these would be great for my purposes, but after purchasing and trying out these 11 gr. sabot pellets, I found they weren't all that accurate, shooting 30 pellets, I found the majority of these pellets to be spoilers, the few that did hit their targets did have the accuracy, and knock down power, although this type of pellet is a good idea, this particular pellet needs a little more quality to its manufacturing or to its design, or both, they're just too unstable during their flight to the target .

Size & Shape

Weight - a little more would make a big difference .

Great pellet for shooting things @ 10yds or less.These pellets are NOT accurate for shooting at long range.They are to light weight.Save some money and buy the RWS brand there exactly the same.

They're a pretty color.

Everything. Except the color.

Good idea, bad execution. I purchased these thinking they may be the saboted-slug equivalent for an air rifle. They're not even close. First off, these things are highly inaccurate. No matter what, these pellets would not group better than 3" @ 20 yards. That's with a bench rest vise, a clean rifle, and a full tank. Second, they wouldn't even penetrate thin, brittle plastic targets (think Skoal lids). There is no weight to them. I don't know how they got to 11 grains, because these things are noticeably lighter than some .177 I was using in my other rifle. And the plastic sheath stripped off the round every time, thereby losing even more weight upon impact. Third, the metal tip is actually shaped somewhat like an arrow (wide head, narrow shaft) and hard as steel. There was absolutely no deformation by the metal part of this round. Which means that almost none of what little energy this round has was transferred to the target anyway. Look, I'm new to airgunning. I've only dealt with firearms in the past. I don't expect to be able to shoot an air rifle 600+ yards, and still take down an animal. I don't even expect to be able to take down a bunny with my air rifle past 20 yards. But in order to take down any type of game, the energy stored by the rifle and/or round has to be transferred to the target by the projectile that strikes the target. This round will not do that. It is too light, too rigid, and too poorly bonded to do more than scare whatever you're aiming at. IF you can even hit it.

Has very nice penetrating power. Pretty good with accuracy if they work well with your particular air gun.

Performance seems particular to the specific air gun. Two of my springers liked them, but didn't fit my PCP repeater. Knock down power better than most lead pellets of much heavier weight.

Lead free. No lead dust. Great for indoor shooting in households with kids and infants. Seemed accurate enough for my needs.

It would be nice if there was more selection, such as heavier weights, maybe solid copper, brass, zinc, etc, with a waxy coating. I'm sure the market for lead-free pellets will grow.

I haven't tried it yet, but the plastic sabot looks good enough after shooting to re-use.

Awesome Penetrating power!, and extremely accurate w/ the right gun

Price, and quantity per container.

These type's of pellet's(those w/ a sabot.Skenco's/Prometheus/etc,.) shouldn't be used in Bolt-Action gun's. They're much more suited for a break barrel, You may also put a drop or two of your favourite lube in the container, and shake it about a little(It did wonder's w/ my TAC 1.

super penitrating dangerous flying peices of zinc and aluminum with great groups out of my benjiman sheridan super streak 22

the price

at 1100 fps these will go straight through the bottom and top of a wd40 can in one shot

lead free

?quality control

I tried fixed-position shooting, but still the grouping was poor at 25 feet with a Crosman 2240. I don't mind paying the extra price for lead-free, but these are worse than shooting nothing. I wouldn't buy these again.

there a nice weight

the plastic part in the back because it makes then spin sometimes

there are great for up close but arent good for long range there not accurate after about 25 ft
