Seneca 9mm, 67 Reviews

As usual, super fast shipping

Don't advertise these as big bore air rifle balls. I'm sure they shoot accurately in a black powder rifle, but the sure don't in a big bore air rifle.

I watched a you tube video stating that these balls were the most accurate thing they tested, so I thought I would give them a try. Waist of money. They won't hold a 5 inch group at 50 yards. They have a sprue and are not totally round. How can you expect them to be accurate? Some shooters said they sanded off the spue and that helped, but I'm not going to do that to 200 balls.

These are a uniform traditional cast lead ball including the sprue stem from the mold. This can be placed facing forward or rearward, just like in a black powder firearm.

Maybe add a note or instruction so that people who have never used round ball, understand why the sprue stem is there.

Round ball do not require a fast rate of twist to stabilize so slow twist barrels, smooth bores and lower velocities accurately shoot these balls. Higher velocities can be attained but then curve balling can occur. This can also be counteracted by going down a size. I use the 9mm balls in my Bulldog with great success at various velocities.

Smaller Diameter

These do not fit in my AEA Terminator. The diameter is too large. The get stuck in the breach and or barrel. Several Airgun Blogs have reported the same issue with these in other Airguns. I have used a lot of other Senecal Slugs in the past and they work great. .357 Ammo appears to be in short supply now so I tried these. Thanks, Jim K.

I recently repaired my Uncle's Crosman 1100 Trapmaster (about a 50 year old CO2 shot gun). It also will fit these 9mm lead ball and send them down range with enough force to end the life of a rodent if you can hit it. At a target at about 10 yards, it is pretty accurate. Not PCP Rifle Accurate... but nice for a big plinker.

The balls would benefit if they were a little more smooth. But for the money and 200 in a box, Im happy with what I got.

Some people wrote about how they didn't work in their Air Gun. Give these a test and if they give you trouble, try something else. Air Gun ammo is super cheep compared to fire arm ammo. read the reviews and if you have an Air Gun that someone said they had a problem with, try a different brand of lead ball. The swaged balls you get from some of the other companies might do better on tight fitting guns. But for my old big plinker... its just fine :-)

nothing about these round balls. the casting is poorly done with large nobbs on every round. they jam in the rifle. they are not even close to being accurate. and there is no value for buying crap especially when adding the high shipping & handling costs

throw the molds away and find a different way to cast the rounds.

don't buy these rounds. they jam the rifle. they are not consistent and they are way over priced for what you are paying for. poor quality. go buy muzzle loading lead balls. they have plenty in stock and they come in all sizes. and no shipping costs if you go in and pick them up at a sporting gun shop.

Price is OK I guess

This is extremely disappointing for air venturi. And everyone else said there is a bug uneven bump which is OK in like my Benjamin but doesn't cycle correctly in my other guns. Now the only reason I'm giving it one star and for anyone who wants round ball, go to black Powder bullets and look up .36 round ball, you have way more size options from like. 34 to .357 and they are absolutely perfect shape for something like 9$. Absolutely no reason horinday can make a perfect round ball but air venturi can't, or the fact that they actually looked at these and said this is fine. Nin existent quality control I guess. I even got some round ball from random seller on ebay that was much nicer.and who ever said just grind them that's totally missing the point that you can get other round ball thats perfect for cheaper.

Learn how cast a round ball?

These are very accurate out of my bt65 .35 cal hatsan carnivore. I shoot squirrels at 100 yards with head shots!

Nothing

I recommend giving them a try!

These are great for plinking. I shoot these out of my bulldog and I can get half inch groups at 35 yards If I sort them. About 30, out of the 200 will have rough casting/mold marks. Almost like little pedestals. So you sort the good ones and toss the bad ones or, you take 10 minutes with a file or sanding block and smooth out the 30 rough ones

Would like better consistency.

These are great for plinking and ARE accurate If sorted. I can get half inch, to 1 inch groups at 35 yards with my bulldog. These penetrate the most, out of everything I've used. Insane penetration! Probably because there shape and how they withold there mass. Also there very lightweight thus achieving blistering fast velocity. These could easily take large game out to 50 yards or even 100 yards If sorted. I was hitting 2 Inch groups at 50 yards and could consistently hit clay pigeons at 100 yards and they didn't drop as much or as fast. Im sure they would make a complete pass through on the body/chest of a deer or other large game within 25--35 yards.

Quality checks. I would not shoot these out of my gun bc all of the pellets are not perfectly round. Every pellet in the box had mold marks on them that would destroy rifling on my barrel

Dont buy these. Go for any other pellet. I love the brand just hated this pellet in peticular

The ones without remaining flashing were very consistent at .356" and shot very well out of a custom airgun using 9mm barrel liner.

Cleaner balls. Many had remaining flashing or flat spots.

For the money, I got 177 count of the 200 in fantastic shape. Tossed the messed up balls into the scrap lead bin.

Cheapest thing to shoot out of my Evanix

About 30 of the 200 had a lot of flashing left on them

Worth the money to plink with but would not use for hunting

Disappointed. Balls not very round. Pronounced flat spot on every one. Tried in .35 Carnivore and although they fit well in the magazine, they were so tight in breech, I was worried I was not going to be able to close the bolt to shoot the rifle. Finally forced it closed but won't load another. Diameters vary more than they should.

A lot. More uniformity is needed.

If you're thinking about trying them in your Carnivore - DON'T!!

they are accurate at 50 yards... 1.5" groups..

the finish... some of them are not roundballs... so you have to discard them or use them for plinking..

they Do fit the Hatsan BT65 SB carnivore .357 magazine.

quality product and packaging

Bought theese on review of another customer that said they shot well from his big bore Condor. Balls were not round and had large stem left from the sprue cutter

I am using these in my Sam Yang and they seem to group as well as the pellets. For everyday shooting they are a good substitute for more expensive pellets.

It would be nice if they were finished as well as the Hornady balls but I don't know if they would shoot any better.

Not much.

Make swaged balls instead of cast.

They have a large flat at the sprew cut off which I think has a bad effect on the accuracy.

Nothing. I expected round ball amo. At least half of the box was deformed. Looks like they didn't close the mold all the way when making them so there is extra led sticking to one end. I did not measure the ones that look round. Not worth the time to check each round to see if would be safe to use.

Remove all stars from the ratings. I looked at the ratings and not the reviews when I bought them. The ratings do not reflect the reviews.

Price, the box has about 10% to 15% of the balls that are non useable. The casting leaves a raised section.

Better quality.

I had to file all the balls to remove the extra lead deposits.

price.

a good portion of the box were not even close to round. I would not be able to shoot these.

quality control was definetly absent when this box got thru
