Gamo Tomahawk .177, .177 Reviews

Work great for plinking, Great for pissing squirrels off

Make the point extend a little farther and reduce the front shoulder cup Shape it more like the tomahawk

Don't seem to have penetration on a squirrel at 20 yds. Using Gamo Maxxim Hornet

I started shooting the Tomahawk pellet, having just been shooting the "Rocket's" in my .177 Gamo Swarm Maxxim. Usually, I have to shoot 20-30 shot's to achieve the kind of group's that I would like at 25 yards. I didn't have to adjust my scope at all after the switch... My first 10 shots went right where I put them with the exception of one "flyer", which still landed in the "kill zone". 6 out of 10 of my shot's were within a 1" group. Considering the other Gamo pellet's quality, I am impressed with the Tomahawk. I had more skirt crimps and defects with the pricier and supposedly higher quality pellets than I have with the Tomahawk's. In my opinion, these are the best Gamo pellets in circulation currently, due to the quantity of the pack and the consistent accuracy of the pellet.

If I could change anything, I would want to see a non-lead, high quality version of this pellet.

When you shoot a different pellet than what you have been using, you will almost always have to re-sight your scope, don't blame the pellet for shooting "off" if you haven't done this. Also, no matter what brand of pellet you choose, or what gun you shoot, you are still shooting an "Air Gun", you will occasionally have shot's that are "inconsistent". Some folk's expect more than that from their shooting and it can be frustrating, especially when you're hunting and you miss your shot, just be patient, "flyers" are part of air-gunning. Even folks who have extremely high dollar setups, suffer from the same problem.

Great price.

Head size?

I have a Crosman TR77 that is deadly accurate with these out to 20yds. None of my other airguns shoot that well with these.

The only thing good that I can say about these pellets is the price. They are okay for tin cans and that is about it.

Gamo needs better quality control. Based on the way they fit in my varous air guns, there are at least 3 head sizes - one that has to be forced into the breach, one that falls out of Crosman 1077 clips, and one in between.

About the only use that I can see for these pellets is backyard plinking. I have informally sized some of these pellets by loading them into the 1077 clips. I toss the ones that fall out into a seperate tin and use them in my 2400KT. These smaller head size pellets will group at around 1" at 10 yards from the 2400.

Brought these to use out of an Remington break action to gain a little more fps. Wow did they !

Nothing. Great value.

Thanks to PA, buy 4 get one free is fantastic !

I have a Benjamin Titan np and have found that the tomahawk pellets are very accurate I this gun.

Great pellet , very accurate and a great value for the price.

I think it is a great deal when you give free pellets when you buy three. The service from Pyramyd Air is great and the delivery time is one of the fastest I've dealt with.

Highly accurate pellets, at least out of my Stoeger X5. Even at lower velocities, terminal performance on squirrel sized games is excellent, far exceeding my expectations. At around $9 for 750 rounds, they are a great value as well. Cheap enough to plink with, but accurate & potent enough for small game or pests...what more can you ask for? They don't look like much, but they've become my 'poor man's Predator' pellet-wise. For the price, they are definitely worth a try.

Pellet uniformity and integrity (particularly around the skirts) could be better, as I've gotten a fair number of damaged or undersized pellets in a tin. This is not the first Gamo pellet I've had these issues with, though, to be fair, I've seen much more expensive pellets from H&N, Crosman, and even JSB that had just as many flawed pellets, sometimes more, per unit. Given the price, it's probably acceptable, but like anyone, I'd like to see better quality and consistency from Gamo's factory. It's be nice to see the Tomahawk available in other calibers as well.

In my experience, these pellets perform just as well, or better than .177 Predators on squirrels, and are much cheaper, at the expensive of all-out consistency in manufacturing quality. In full disclosure, my experience with Predators is limited, and I have not tried these in other calibers. Also, although I have enjoyed excellent practical accuracy out to twenty yards or so (Stoeger X5), I have not shot these pellets at longer ranges...given their shape, design, and undoubtedly poor BC, I can't imagine they'll stay with good domed pellets at greater distances. For short-medium range plinking, small game hunting, and pest control, they work very well; I'll leave the longer range results to those who have more experience and better equipment than I. Overall, I give Gamo's Tomahawk a thumbs up & a solid 'buy it & try it' rating.

Great pellet, Accurate out to 35 yards. One shot on pigeons is all that is needed.

EVERYTHING! These things are one of my favorites! Amazing pellets. Backs one heck of a bunch even in low powered air rifles.

Nothing. Perfect! :)

Buy as many as you can!

Very good in accuracy and hitting power. Great for tree rodents!!

Nothing

Reasonably accurate in my gamo spring-piston. 750 pellets not a bad deal.

Top is plastic. Mine top is cracked and could brake more.

Keep track of what kind and gr. is in this tin. there is no writing on the tin. I used a sharpie to label it.

Price and accurcy in my TR77 nitro. I used to shoot CPHP 7.9's and picked these up one time to try them out aince they are close in weight to the 7.9 crosmans. AFter shooting these and several others, i found that my TR77 nitro likes these the best and plan to keep these on hand for it. I tried 10 different pellets in mine and this is the best of the lot.

solid lid and put the WEIGHT on the tin.

for the price, try them. not a big loss if they dont shoot well in your gun. they are great in mine.

First and foremost, quantity. Next, was accuracy. I was using a Gamo Silent Cat with iron sights. I managed to zero it in to 40 yards with 3/4" groups. I've gone through half of a tin tuning my sights and the stray shot was only off by about 3-5". I also noticed something interesting when shooting through hollow targets such as cans, tins, and plastic bottles. My pellets would go through with no problem but some of the sheared material caused a bit of shrapnel damage. It may be a fluke though.

A bit more quality control. I've had a good bit come too deformed to even load.

I've noticed that there are significant performance differences between air rifles so please don't judge a pellet as useless because it did not shoot well from your rifle. These pellets don't do too well in my Crossman American Classic Model 1377 but does fine in some old Daisy rifle I have laying about.

Accuracy

Nothing.

Not as accurate as Crossman Premier hollowpoint in my particular rifle but certainly usable. Easily repeatable 1" 5 shot groups at 20 yards. Only found one with a dented skirt. Good value at 750 per tin.

Very accurate to 15 yds with my beeman R7 Can't speak to accuracy beyond that range.

Nothing

It is a fancy wadcutter and with a good gun it has great knockdown power for nuisance birds like starlings and HOSP.

Very good pellet for hunting. Hard hitting weight. Very accurate. The MK 177 worked well with this pellet.

Nothing

Pellet gun needs to be at least 500 fps to perform to par.

NOTHING

USE THE LEAD FOR FISH WEIGHTS

THEY ARE USELESS, DON'T EVEN BOTHER WITH THESE.

Price - much less than wallyworld when using the buy 3 get 1 free plus 10% off.

Not the most accurate pellets I have used - partial to crosman premiers, but they work well for punching holes at my 50' indoor range - very inexpensive. Support Pyramid their customer service alone is worth it. Thanks

pellet count a plus ,shooting in my stoeger x20 deadly accurate,checked with a set of calapers not enough of a difference to worry about in pellet size,can hit push pens at 20 yards

for the price and amount of pellets...nothing

ideal to use on every shooting from plinking to hunting set your gun and scope up and you should have no problem's...i've went through over 4 tin's and just ordered 4 more

Price, amount and the container. I see some bad reviews for this pellet, but I really can't complain at all. My guns really like them.

maybe consistency could be a bit better.

Don't expect JSB for this price, but for the money, a good deal.
