Very uniform shapes. Very accurate groupings out of RWS34P, and Hatsan Sniper 150. Chrony avg. out of Hatsan 848 fps

Nothing

1/2" group out of RWS34P at 28yrds. Exceptional!

Clean quick efficient.

This pellet will do well in less expensive/powerful air guns.Making those guns more effective.

Packaging is great. Consistency from pellet to pellet and tin to tin is spot on. I get dime sized groups of ten at ten meters as a matter of course.

Nothing

Great takedown even at longer ranges on squirrels and rabbits, all the way out to 100 yards!

Surprised at the topping power. At 25 yards, knocked down a medium-to large male squirrel with not one twitch. Heart lung shot in the upper chest, entry at a slight angle, just behind the front right leg. Wound did not hemorrhage. Took a few turns of the corpse for the entry wound to show. No exit wound. When i use crosman premier domes or discovery pcp hollow points, there is always an exiting hole.

Would like to try these in a little heavier pellet, perhaps around 18g.

Used in my 7 month old .22 Benjamin Titian NP, and Leapers UTG 3-9x50 (PY-A-4937) scope. Great results at a little over 25 yards. No one packs pellets for shipping better than Pyramid does. Even with shipping, the buy three, get one more free, +11% off, is the best price I have found anywhere.

Tightest Grouper of 9 Brands/Styles I have tried.

Make available in Larger Quantity's (for presumed Economy).

Because of success in my new .22 (UmaRex Fuel), discovered that the Poly is also the best in my old .177 Fuel. Virtual "Photo Finish" between the 2: 1.75" spread on .177, and 1.5" on the .22 (@ 32-yds). Course the .22 rips water-filled pop cans a lot more - and is presumably more wind resistant.

Everything.

Make available in larger quantities (for presumed economy).

Groups/centers right w/ the more economical Crosman UltraMag (domed). Shot from my new UmaRex Fuel .22.

Design and consistency.

Offer in larger tins (for presumable economy).

In my UmaRex Fuel .22 it is a mate (in sighting/grouping) w/ my basic Standard Crossman UltraMag (domed). And it rips a (water-filled) pop can more. Ballistics trivia, really. Cuz it's still all about accuracy.

It works very well on crows, grackles, etc. Very consistent characteristics.

A larger pellet count option for the tin of pellets. I run out too fast.

Fairly uniform pellets, good expansion, seems to be a well rounded pellet for many guns and calibers. Skirts are generally fairly uniform...

price is high... but so is quality overall. For the love of all that is good... will all pellet manufacturers make screw top lids!!! I would LOVE to see this quality in a non-lead pellet.

I have had very good results with this pellet in my Marauder .22 pistol. .25 rifle, .22 NP2 Pheonix and Umarex octane. It seems to be a generally "Good" shooting pellet for me. Knock-down power is pretty impressive and expansion on plate steel is very uniform. This is a bit of a spendy pellet... but is my "go to" when I am not trying to out perform it..

shape, uniformity

terrible accuracy from my fx pcp

Match grade accuracy out of my NP2 piston air gun. Designating effects on squirrels out to 50 yards.

None.

Best pellet I've used so far.

nothing

Good weight at 16 grains, poly tip makes for a better shot

Accuracy, penetration, tips and packaging. Oh! Great expansion!

Price

These are a great pellet but if you live in a climate that where the temperature is always changing, you might only want to use them during the time of year when the temperature is steady. I have to re zero in every time the temp changes 10*. This is not cost affective for me during fall and winter when the temp changes daily. Don't believe Airgun manufacturers when their selling point is, air pistons aren't effected by weather change. So temperature and price are the only reason I don't use this pellets year round. I use the Crosman Hollowpoints during fall, winter and early Spring so that I don't have to waste 10 pellets every morning and afternoon to re zero before the hunt.

nice looking pellet shoots very well out of my rws 470th .22 3/8 group at 15 yards( 5 shot groups)

price

my gun likes many pellets but these shoot really well, shock me as to how well these grouped, I shoot the same hole a lot with these in a 5 shot group

These are very accurate pellets IME, and they penetrate as well as any of the rest I have tried, which is quite a wide assortment now, and includes standard domed pellets that don't expand on game at all. It is even more impressive the Predator's penetrate as well as they do, since they reliably expand to approximately .30-.32 cal every time. Few other pellets actually expand on game IME, but these will, and out to 45 yards, which is as far as I have taken large fox squirrels with them with body shots to the shoulder. I have quite a nice collection of pellets from small game, but the majority are Predator Poly's. I don't experiment with pellet expansion in "ballistic gel" since it doesn't represent what the pellets will truly perform like on game. All my impressions and opinions are coming from pellets taken from actual animals I have shot.

The price is a little steep, but worth the cost for the performance I get. I'd like a larger size tin to be available though. It would save on shipping costs, and I would have the luxury of having more pellets from the same production run, which is what I prefer to do with any projectile.

If you look at these pellets, but pass due to the price. Don't. You will be more than impressed with how they shoot and perform on small game. I know I was really surprised at just how good these are. I thought they were more of a gimmick and a lot of hype, but I was wrong, and extremely happy to be so.

Expansion is good, hard hitting on rabbits and squirrels

Accuracy is mediocre out of the .22 Discovery. .177 Cal Polymags shoot very well in my spring guns

For longer range hunting, use a traditional Crosman HP or domed pellet for increased accuracy. Inside of 30 yards these work very well, especially for heart/lung shots

these work really nice in my discovery from 20 yards out to 50 yards. i had very few flyers .id say 1/2 group at 20 and 50 about 1.250 .plenty good enough for small game .

i would make them a 500 count tin

Very accurate, hard hitting.

Larger quantity of pellets for the price would be nice.

Compared these to several Beeman, and gammo. This one hits hard.

Nothing stands out

Length and costs

For my .22 cal. Titan they were not all that accurate and I feel they were too light and long for my .22 cal. Marauder rifle so never even tried them in it.

Uniformity and accuracy

nota

Super knock down but have a low BC so need a under 40 yard shot in most cases. Shoot great in my Benjamin Pistol (Prod) custom. Shoot very good in every air gun I have.
