Skenco Heavy Long-Range, .22 Reviews

Neat concept but horrible accuracy

To be able to make them hit a barn while I was locked inside of it.

Very inaccurate pellet. I cant hit minute of pop can at 5 yards with my browning 800 express 22 pistol. They shooter 3 inch plus groups at 23 yards off the bench with my Walther talon/hatsan 125/ nitro piston rifle. Horrible accuracy. The only thing they probably are good fro is point blank shots on trap line and even if so its cheaper to buy 22 LR ammo fro that.

Velocity on these pellets is amazing. I dont have a chronograph but you can tell they are much faster than lead. However. Accuracy is pretty poor unless shooting at 10 yrds or less.

N/A

Im certain you could take out a squirrel with these if close enough to make a good shot. At about 10 yrds they are very accurate in my 2240

ACCURATE, HITS HARD

SHORTEN THE LENGTH SO IT WILL FIT OTHER MAGS, TOO LONG FOR MOST MAGS, SUCH AS THE SENTRY, THE URBAN AND SUPRISINGLY THE HATSAN BARRAGE MAG BUT DOES FIT THE BULLY

DEFINITELY A HUNTING PELLET AND WILL PASS THRU PREY WITH EASE AND STILL HAS POWER

The red fletcher makes it easy to see where you hit on the target.

This is a pretty loose fitting pellet in my rifle, Also I was surprised on the lack of penetration in spite of the weight.

With this pellet I seem to have a lot of flyers. In my rifle I wouldn't trust it for hunting, as I mentioned the penetration was less than standard lead pellets. It should be noted however, this pellet does not use lead.

They load easily into my Gamo Swarm Magnum manually. (too long for the magazine)

Larger diameter for a better fit in the barrel. Accuracy out of a Gamo Swarm Magnum is horrible.

These pellets are all over the place out of a Gamo Swarm Magnum. The similar made Crossman Penetrators performed very well so the design works.

Lead free, easy to feed

Nothing

Good product

Trash best describes these over priced and badly made pellets. Some fall right out of the barrel. And they are all over the place. Actually, I want my $$ back.

A lot, Start with some uniformity.

Don't waste your money.

Good penetration.

Larger skirt for better seating.

This pellet is odd. Fired from a CO2 gun, POI is the same as any other 18-20 gr pellet and very consistent. From a normally accurate gas piston gun, a Umarex Octane, I couldn't get on paper. I'll admit that this gun's patterns start to open up with anything over 18 grains. For example, I get 4 inch groups at 25 yards with Kodiaks and Jumbo Monsters but out of 10 shots, only one Skenco hit paper. It's not the gun or the scope. I alternated between several pellets and each performed as usual but the Skenco...I honestly have no idea where the pellets were going. I guess this gun and pellet combination just doesn't work. The CO2 gun seems fine. I've run into a few pellet/gun combinations that weren't great but nothing like this.

They seem to be a very well made pellet and from the reviews I have read and I decided to give them a try.

A snugger fit in my air rifles breach.

I tried them in both of my break barrel air rifles. in my Hatsan Model 95 the pellet dropped about an inch into the barrel when I loaded it. With my Benjamin Genesis the pellet stayed in the breach, but still too loose. A group shot at 10 yards was over 3 inches.

Long distance range without disruptive wind control manipulating the target red dot shot.

Nothing

Great for distance shot,although the cal is a mere 22 you still have kill authority by balastics placement to the heart or head of the hunt.

they are lead free and fast.

more for the buck.

if you zero with diabolo exact jumbo heavy these will not hit the target the same.

Great shape, feel and length and the fact it is lead-free. I use these for bagging wild rabbits for my dogs. These pellets take them down every time. Not so cheap so not good for target shooting but awesome hunting pellets that won't contaminate your game. They also fit nicely in my Ruger Impact .22. Also good for annoying crows that scare off and attack all the songbirds.

nothing

Just a sweet pellet that does the job

shot well from the marauder

up the count at least to a 100

I love these things! These are very similar to the Crosman Penetrators except the sabot is a bit longer and the ballistic tip is brassy in color. I shoot these through my 2240 with exceptional accuracy. The accuracy extends into longer distances downrange.

Not much really. Make them available in a higher quantity container.

As stated earlier, these are on par with the Crosman Red flight Penetrators. This ammo can go through 22 gauge sheet metal, which also means it will go through clothing, soft tissue, hit bone... get the message? These act more like bullets than pellets, so be careful about what you are aiming at.

They look cool. I wish they would shoot as good as they look. Great idea but what good is an inaccurate pellet?

More per package.

These pellets probally will work well in lower power rifles. They shoot well out of my pistols so I can't be too hard on them.

They are a neat idea, if they shot straight. From my Custom 2260s and Custom Discovery, they are not accurate enough for any type of hunting at any range.

Maybe make them a wadcutter like the .177 Skenco Golden Rods. Those are the most accurate of the type in my guns. Not as good as 10.5grain lead, but at least accurate enough to 75ft. I consider the money I spent on these to have been a donation to skenco, to keep developing these types of munitions.

My buddy tried them in his Trail NP, with the same results I had. No group, just random and wide dispersion. They do penetrate better than lead, up close. From my guns, they are so unstable that they lose velocity in a hurry. Can't say I'd recommend these to those on a tight ammunition budget. As something to investigate, they were fun.

Neat looking, lead free.

Long, might not fit in some magazines for repeaters. Noticeably slower than lead pellets of the same weight. Erratic group sizes. Sometimes bullseyes, but then regular flyers.

I shot 6 of these, no need to shoot any more than that.

i like the fact they are moderate weight at 18 gr and they are lead free i am also glad that only 75 came in the package i wasted my money on

the entire design or remove from the market i plan on having atleast 2 other friends try these in their brand of gun and compare their results

these pellets shoot horribly in my Benjamin trail XL 1100 by far the worst grouping i have ever seen you cant cover a group from these with a large dinner plate at 45 yds

LEEAD FREE, HEAVY WEIGHT YET NOT ENOUGH TO COMPROMISE ACCURACY, STEEL DESIGN-WON'T BUCKLE UNDER STRESS, PLASTIC CASING SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCES BARREL DRAG AND DAMAGE.

I like to try new things.

These don't shoot well from my guns. I had to try them though.
