Concidering the low cost these are an exelent value. They have been very accurate in my browning 800 mag pistol.

practice-practice-practice

Have them for my Browning 800 Mag and Daisy 889. Very accurate in both.

Great for the money.

Consistency and accuracy. Makes me wonder why I buy the expensive pellets for matches when hobbys shoot so well.

How about a 8.4 grain pellet.

Very consistent shape. Accuracy is excellent for price. Clean. Seems to have a very slightly larger diameter at the skirt than other pellets. Typical high-quality RWS ammo product...

After trying MANY types of pellets in my Umarex Beretta 92, and shooting MANY rounds in a basement "range" (15K+), I have settled on the RWS Hobby as the best performing pellet for the money. Slightly larger skirt size makes this the only pellet I have found so far that works consistently in the Air Venturi Diablo speed loader for the Beretta's 8-shot magazines/clips (BTW - loader is a must have if you do any amount of shooting).

This pellet comes so close to match pellet accuracy in the 2 primary guns I use it in that it is hard to justify buying the match. In my IZH 46 1/2" groups from rest are the norm at 25 yds. In an old S&W 79, CO2, gun a pop can at 25 yds has a very limited life span.

nothing

Uniformity, weight and minimal lead residue.

Can you say "screw top can?"

I like to shoot premium pellets like RWS/Meisterkuglen, H&N, JSB etc especially when shooting paper targets for maximum accuracy. However, I have found the Hobby pellets to be very close in accuracy, with the same uniformity of appearance and minimal lead residue. I use them in all my guns for plinking and casual paper target shooting. A fine product at an excellent price and you can't beat the Pyramid Air packaging and service.

Low cost but a quality pellet. It has been one of my standard pellets for low powered guns.

Like everyone else a screw on lid would be nice.

Size seems a little under some of the others but in most of the low powered pump and CO2 guns it doesn't matter. A good, consistantly shaped pellet for a low cost.

light weight good quality large skirt diameter (especially great for many vintage springer airguns)

Consistency--Hobbys tend to vary in weight and skirt diameter more than I like. Chrono testing hints there are 2 or 3 different machines contributing to each tin.

IMHO by far the best-quality, most consistent pellet of such light weight. The Hobby is one of my standards for velocity testing in most airguns--a great way to establish a "reasonable maximum velocity" for most guns (as opposed to the very questionable figures published by manufacturers), and useful for comparing guns. The large skirt diameter is not well-suited to all airguns. Take a look at the RWS Diabolo Basic as an alternate for guns with tighter bores.

I Like these pellets a lot, I shoot vintage webley pistols mostly, and the soft lead skirt fits the barrel very well, and delivers very good accuracy.

As always, cost a little less?

Great pellet for the money, in a pistol, it is hard to tell the difference between these and the more expensive miesterkrugen

Excellent pellet at this price point. Very uniform consistency

Nothing

One of the most accurate in my IZH 46M and IZH 61

These pellets shoot extremely well in my Beretta 92 (almost as well as the more expensive Meisterkulgen). They are very clean.

Well, if they could package them in larger tins with even better pricing, that would be great. But I wouldn't change anything with the pellet itself.

These are a bargain. Throw in the Pyramid "buy 4, get 1 free" deal, and they are an even bigger bargain. This pellet, along with RWS Diabolo, are all I shoot now.

Excellent pellets for the price. These are my everyday pellets, when shooting my Beretta 92FS and Walther CP99. They're not as consistant as Meisterkugeln, but in this price range, I have yet to shoot any better pellets. They also work flawlessly in the RWS speedloader

I wish the tin came with a screw on cap.

Not the best pellets out there, but quite possibly the best bang for my buck, so far.

They seem uniform with little trouble loading them into the chamber

Nothing.

I am new to airgunning but these pellets worked very well in a pump gun. They go farther on target than the heavier pellets and the lightness seems to have no effect on overall shooting. More distance with a lower powered gun which makes for more fun.

Accuracy is every bit as good as I can use from any of my pistols. Weight and shapes are extremely uniform. For the price, can't be beat.

Nothing that wouldn't change the price.

These are not match pellets, but they're darn close!

Inexpensive. Fairly clean.

Improve the consistency of the size.

Good value for the price. Fairly clean, not a lot lead shavings. The head size is not very consistent. Some are much harder than others to put in the breech. The skirt of some of the pellets are also slightly deformed. I would switch to R-10 after I use up this batch of Hobby pellets. Knowing that I am using match grade pellets and having one fewer thing to worry about during each shot is worth the extra cost for me.

Great quality, great value.

Nothing ... maybe a better tin.

These work well in lower velocity air pistols such as my Beeman P3 and HW45.

Good quality control for a cheap pellet, these don't do one hole groups the same way the serious match pellets do, but they aren't too far off!

hard to criticize at this price...

best results with lower velocity guns in my experience

They have shot very consistently in my IZH 46m pistol. I have not experienced any fliers that were due to any kind of fault of the pellet. Considering the performance, thay are a bargin.

nice clean pellet. well made and did not find any bad ones in the tin.

the flared end seemed a tiny bit big and is difficult to fit into the umarex 8 round clip.

If you're used to using crossman or daisy regular pellets, try these. For the extra two bucks you'll be amazed at the quality difference, it's immediately evident the second you open the can. Much more accurate and consistant.

Not a thing.
