If you are looking for penetration, this pellet will do it. It isn't as accurate as some pellets but is good enough to take small game out to 40 yards

A tighter fit in the breech.

I personally prefer a pellet that expands but if I were shooting an animal as large as a Coyote I'd use this pellet for a head shot out to 40 yards.

didn't shoot any so no comment other than liking the screw top case. Price is quite high but the reviews suggested it would give good penetration.

make them shorter and more affordable. One of the most expensive per pellet costs.

These are too long to use in my Benjamin Maurauder pistol unfortunately using the magazine. The BM will handle Predators unlike the rifle magazine. It would be a big plus if the LENGTH of pellets were specified on all pellets to avoid this problem. I would suggest a shorter plastic section be incorporated in a modified design so users of magazine (repeater) pistols and rifles could try this interesting design.

Lead free. Cool idea.

The plastic sabot needs front and rear skirts that are larger in diameter, so it will fit tighter in the barrel.

Do not buy, No need to waste your money on these pellets in their current form.

Pretty looking, yes, that is the only good thing about these pellets.

Worst pellets I ever bought.

OK, obviously will not fit in any rotary magazine, but did you know that without severe effort & going in diagonally they will not feed in a Marauder? Once loaded with great effort, they shoot VERY UN-accurately, and if they hit wood, the plastic & metal separate unlike some other reviewers said you can re0use then...NOT.

Look pretty.

Change? Make them accurate, and shorter so they could work in any gun that is not a break-barrel.

They don't shoot accurate at all. They are too long, will not even single hand feed in an Mrod without great difficulty, these are ONLY for break-barrel guns. They come apart when they hit wood (metal & plastic separate). Complete waste of money, don't learn the hard way as I did.

Very robust pellet, awesome penetration and velocity, accuracy is not bad at all. I see this as more of a specialized hunting pellet where penetration is most highly desired, especially if your prey has thick fur.

A bit undersized in the chamber, and the plastic skirt separates fairly easily.

While a bit expensive, if you are hunting this may be a good choice. If you are plinking, there are many better choices available on the market

the shape retention at maximum penetration

more per container

Retains shape so well that i have actually shot and re shot the same pellet three times. A great lead free alternative for hunting.

i love this pellet, it seems that cylinder pellets have alot to offer and my first impression was WOW! this pellet shoots accurate and has a punch.

shooting this round out of a benjamin nitro piston rifle

Nice looking and pretty consistent shape.

Add more to a pack,and make the plastic skirt a little bigger.

These pellets shoot ok out of my Gamo Big Cat, they perform exactly like the crosman premier hollow points. Both pellets gave me 4 shoots in a inch an one flyer. Thought they would be better considering the price. Also they seem to fit pretty loose in my gun, not snug at all and will fall out if I tip the gun up.

the perfect fit of those pellets are amazing and the heavyer weight hit the target pretty hard

more in the can :)

beware of the metal part its separate from the plastic shell so be sure to have something to stop it in the back and dont shoot at any metal target

Good shape and the weights were pretty consistant between all the pellets. Nice and clean!

200ct or more and a lower price! Oh and make some in .25cal!!!!

If this fit your barrel and don't fall out then good chance your gonna love them. I would say these are more of a co2-hpa pellet than a springer pellet. These are shooting around 900fps of my modded AS2250XT. It will shoot these through a quarter at 40ft so becareful shooting these at your pellet trap thinking it's ok cause they might be going through. These pellets have penetration power!

Raccoon Skull Walther Talon Magnum - Venturi Gas Ram Piston Springers are marginal for raccoon head shots. Rarely will a Predator Poly Mag penetrate the skull for me and NEVER with a large raccoon. Anyway I did some research on Youtube and found this pellet being tested. It made sense to me that if my springer was just flattening out a polymag on the raccoon's skull, then just maybe a harder pellet may just give the margin of difference to penetrate the skull reliably. Results: 1 medium size raccoon, nose pointed to the ground, head on shot with the broad top the head facing me. Hit between the ears, left of the center line of the top of the skull. One shot, one kill at 10-15 yards. Anyway I'm very encouraged. Can't wait to try it on one of the big boys.

Pellet seems to tumble. Sometimes makes oblong holes in the paper target. As long as it penetrates the hard skull I have no complaints.

Had a few fall out of the gun, but you have to seat them really deep as there is a ridge at the back of the pellet(like a 22 rim fire) that must be seated in the chamber.

These pellets are very long and look awesome! They penetrate hard surfaces easily!

Nothing that I have noticed so far.

I shot one of these from my stock Talon SS at a hunk of the femur of a cow ( a dog bone we get from our butcher). I didn't expect anything much, but it punched a clean hole through about 1/3 inch of solid cow bone. It continued through the center ( the bone is concave in shape) sheering off significant portions of bone and finally stopped in the other side, it left a hole about 1/6 inch deep on that side as well. Except for the absence of the red sabot, the bullet was completely unharmed!!! They must be made of something extremely hard like steel, because they do not loose their shape easily, that's for sure!!! I can't yet comment on the accuracy, but even if these things are not accurate they are still worthwhile novelties!!

THIS ANOTHER AMMO THAT GETS MARKS WITH ME BECAUSE OF THE PENETRATION, WHICH IS OUTSTANDING. THIS AMMO IS ALSO VERY ACCURATE IN MY TECHFORCE 79 RIFLE .22CAL.

PLEASE ADD MORE TO THE TIN FOR THE SAME PRICE.

THIS AMMO IS ACCURATE, IT TUMBLES LIKE A .223CAL BULLET IN AR-15 ONCE IT MAKES IMPACT. THIS IS A HUNTING PELLET THAT CAN DO ALOT OF INTERNAL DAMAGE TO A WOULD BE PREY. THIS IS ANOTHER AMMO THAT I AM GOING TO STOCK-UP ON. I JUST LOVE IT.

This bullet is deadly. 55 Gal. drum 20yrds thru one side easy and leaves a great impresion of it's self on the other. At more than 2-two grains fatter than what I call average they are truly long range bangers. WACK-A-DO-WACK-A-DO..Hag

Kind of lose I put a drop of bees wax on the bullet for a better fit. These ARE BULLETS.

high speed of the round and the size of it. and the long range. i was a us Marine Scout Sniper 77 to 97 so i know my wepons

make them cheaper in prise

No lead; the plastic tail feathers provide consistent loading and delivery results; the length of the pellet makes for easy handling

nothing; I'm into my 2nd package of 90 and have not seen any defective pellets

I tried 9 different .22 cal. pellets before settling on this make.

Bad, Bad boys!!! Very accurate and penetrate better than any other pellet. I have not been able to test these beyond about 30 meters, but I already know what to expect.

I wish they were cheaper, but I will stock up no matter what the price.

In my Beeman RS2 these regularly shoot through 1 inch pine and a piece of medium gauge sheet metal behind it. In my crossman 2240 they will bury one flush in pine.

Lead free

Can't someone make a leadfree pellet that shoots accurately, Not accurate at all, My Crossman 22 cal, Titan Nitro piston does not shoot them accurately. I can get a 3 inch group at 90 feet with crossman premier .22 cal lead pellets and cannot get a 10 inch group with the Skenco 22 cal lead free 16.7 grain ammo.

Also killed 2 rabbits with the lead free and the poor things would not die. Did the same with lead pellets and it was dead without suffering.

These pellets look cool and fire great out of my Benjamin Trail NP XL. I haven't Chrony'd them yet, but will soon. I purchased the .22 caliber and they definitely fly far, fast and penetrate like crazy. I'd definitely recomment these if you have a Benjamin Trail air rifle.

Figure out a way to get the non-lead pellets to expand. These don't expand at all on impact (or not much anyway) and therefore do not create much damage as they travel through an object (expecially when hunting).

These are very loose in my Gamo Whisper and don't get the speed they could really get if they fit a little tighter. So I would not recomment them (at least in .22 caliber) for a Gamo Whisper. Also, since they are fairly hard you won't get much expansion so if you are using these for hunting you will definitely want to be sure to hit your target in the kill zone or it will run (or fly) off and you'll have to track it down. If you are using these for target shooting then you have nothing to worry about.
