Beeman Kodiak Copper, .22 Reviews

These pellets are very accurate in my Marauder and Light Marauder rifle.. but i will never buy another as I have had my last accidental spill with the lousy non screw lids

:Provide screw type lid for these tins..

Nice pellet, tho' surprisingly registering low at 775 fps high & avg.750 fps while the little heavier, 21.14 gr. h&n baracuda hits at 830 fps & an avg.of 813 fps both are good pellets,but the beeman has a slighter edge in groupings at my test, tight groupings just above the bullseye at 26yds! I recommend this pellets for hunting!

Make it 500 in tins & lower the price a bit

None

I tested the Beeman kodiak c.p. at 26 yds tho, a bit windy, able to hit a 10shot grp.quarter inch grp at about the same above the bullseye! Not so much of speed of the pellet, But the accuracy was good and is one of the pellets for my bsa aside from jsb 18.13 & 15.89 gr airarms 18.00gr. etc, Heres' the chrony readings,High- 810 Low-780 Avg. 797 E.S.--30 S.D.--10. This is a very good & stable pellet in flight, next time Ill' try this at 50 yds!

Make it 400 or 500 in tin!

Very clean pellets!

These are great for larger targets like squirrels. Also good for accuracy out to 100 yards for targets like crows. Not so good for very small targets like rats or chipmunks since the pellets tend to just pass through. Try the Beeman Silver Bear 12.65 grain pellets for small, close range targets since they will fragment and do more damage. Really like the copper plating for handling.

Using these and the Beeman Silver Bear pellets in a Benjamin Marauder PCP airgun.

It's the only load I will shoot from my Walther Talon Magnum w gas piston. I tested hundreds of rounds of other types/brands. This rifle will go supersonic with lighter loads. The weight of these pellets seems perfect for my .22.to stay subsonic, which greatly increases the accuracy. I prefer the copper wash, as it seems to shoot the best from my Walther barrel. I believe the copper minimizes lead fouling in the barrel. I usually use a very thin film of lubricant, which I've formulated myself and refined over the years. I believe this minimizes copper fouling. Once I notice the accuracy dropping off (approx. 250-500 rounds), I snake the barrel one pass w copper solvent and it's back to normal.

I would find a way to protect the pellets from contacting each other in the package, which can damage their surfaces with tiny , especially in the skirt area. These imperfections probably matter in a higher end air rifle but I won't know because they all have them. That said, they are an excellent value without the cost of individual packaging. Probably perfect for 99% of the airgunners out there.

There are 5stars in each of the review categories but I didn't put them there. Can't figure out how to change them.

just average, not what I had hoped for

improve tolerances

average price, average performance

At 75yds these are wicked with my Condor at power 4. Shooting little green plastic army men and literally destroyes them.

Nothing great product.

Clean your barrel often

the cost was reasonable, I have a brand new Brocock 22 cal. pistol.I have been shooting for a number of years now and I have never been able to put one pellet into the same hole as the one just shot before it! I've read stories about it happening but have never done it. No "flyers" either, wher you aim that's where it goes. Now keep in mind,what your shooting may have one hell of a difference too.But what a Pellet !!!

Nothing !

Yea,buy a Brocock,cheaper then a Hatsan and a lot more accurate,in my opinion of course,fact I traded my Hatsan in for the Brocock,half the weight of the Hatsan and well...........you would need to find out for your self, both are good guns.

These pellets along with the H&N's have sold me on buying German pellets. The quality of other pellets I have purchased I found frustrating. The last thing I ever want to do is struggle to force a pellet into a chamber.

Local availability or lower shipping prices would be nice.

no lead on fingers

use gold plate

save money up for gold plated slugs

very accurate and hard hitting

nothing

great product

No lead means clean and safe handing. These are some good looking pellets and have some heft. Accuracy on my DayState MK4 Target is good though nothing special. No problems fitting in DayState magazine.

Depending on your gun, these can be a tight fit for DayState owners. You'll have to really put some effort into pushing the bolt in to load the pellet in place. The tin is too flimsy and is easily crushable when removing the lid.

These pellets love to be lubed and the performance is noticeably improved.

Weight, accuracy, copper coating, quality and uniformity of pellets. Delivers a great deal of energy down range upon impact - a real skull crusher. I bought these for killing pesky coons around the house/neighborhood, and yes, it will definitely drop dead with good shot placement. I'm using a Gamo Bone Collector .22 cal and these pellets shoot real well with this gas piston air rifle.

Should get more for price it's at. IMO, I don't like the tin can it comes in, I'd like to see a screw top or snap on cap instead.

Gotta be careful when loading, some may slide out while loading rifle. But shoots great and makes really accurate consistent groupings. And I'll say it again, lots of energy down rage. Im shooting from 20yds minimum with a Gamo Bone Collector .22 If you're looking for hunting pellets you gotta buy these n try em out.

Decent pellets. Uniformity and grain weight between pellets is pretty good. I weighed each pellet in the tin and found that they varied only by a few 10ths of a grain.

Price. They are a tad on the expensive side. I'd say that $9.95 would be a much fairer price for these pellets.

These pellets did not perform all that well in my Diana RWS Feuerkraft Pro (350 magnum). They were a bit on the heavy side. They would likely do much better with 30+ FPE PCP rifles.

If you are concerned with leading your barrel then this is the pellet you want. the copper plating significantly reduces leading and the heavy grain weight makes for an extremely hard hitter. Perfect for small game and rodent problems.

Accuracy was very good, sub 1" groups at 25 yards from a Benjamin Marauder Pistol. I also used a RWS 48 Magnum and shot 3/8" groups at 50 yards. Both produced consistent velocities for the air gun. The Pistol produced an average of 624 FPS & rifle produced an average of 858 FPS. Very pleased.

Again as I mentioned about the Kodiaks. More of a flare at the back. But then again I am not an expert in RD for Pellets.

Not every pellet is going to perform the same in the same air gun. It is up to each individual to perform test with a wide variety to see what your air gun likes and does not like. And invest in a high quality scope, for the more serious air gunners out their.

I liked the way these performed, given they are 1/3rd heavier than your standard that you can find on the shelf. I used them in my new Benjamin Marauder Pistol, and was getting 3/4" groups at 50 yards. The average speed was about 620 FPS. I expected this given the weight difference. I also used them in an older RWS 48 Magnum .22 Air Rifle I have been using for years to take care of small pest on my property. The average speed was 850 FPS & grouping at 50 yards, was 1/2" groups. This gun has always been exceptionally accurate. But it also has a very nice scope on it. You know what they say, you get what you pay for.

I would put a little more of a flare at the back for a tighter fit. Otherwise I am not qualified for the design of these pellets.

I would only use these heavier pellets that produce much higher velocities. Low velocity air guns would have to much drop off. Also use quality air gun scopes, most people do not even realize that your standard scopes can not withstand the vibration created from a air gun. And since when using air guns you generally shooting at shorter distances. You can shoot at longer distance once you have a much higher quality and higher velocity air gun. I would also suggest using a scope with a parallax.

I REALLY LIKE THESE PELLETS FOR A NUMBER OF REASONS. THEIR CLEAN, SHOOT STRAIGHT AND HIT HARD.DID I MENTION THEY ARE CLEAN TO HANDLE.

NOTHING

GET SOME

Uniformity, accuaracy

Sell in bulk

In a scoped Remington npss .22 hitting 3/4" groups at 30 yards is almost too easy. Tried a lot of different pellets and in this rifle these are by far the most accurate and consistant.

very uniform and clean

price point is a little high for 200, give us 250 for that amount.

My daughters marauder pistol loves these copper coated pellets. They produce fantastic groups out to 30 yards in her gun. We have not pushed them any further as this is a pistol.
