RWS .22 Quick Reviews

Easy to use.

They worked well.

Lower the cost. The only reason that I ordered was that I do not like to clean from the muzzle. as that can lead to wear there causing a loss of accuracy. I load a cleaning pellet first into every magazine. That gives me some cleaning every 10 shots (nine pellets then one cleaning pellet).

First shot cleaned up more than I expected

I will not wait until I have shot so many rounds before using again

These are the perfect tool for cleaning rifled air gun barrels. Put a drop of PellGun oil on each pellet before you load it into the gun. Fire the gun low into a corner, and you will be able to retrieve the dirty pellets. Brass brushes and swabs are fine for firearms that burn gunpowder, and need a good cleaning, but air guns don't burn propellant.

Modern air gun pellets are different from firearm bullets. They are not subject to the same temperatures and pressures that firearm bullets undergo. They are basically lead, but incorporate alloy metals and lubricants that make them work better in air guns. The deposits that accumulate in a rifled air gun barrel firing modern pellets smooth the bore, and don't need removing with a brass bore brush and harsh solvents.

works as advertised. definitely worth it.

tapered end would make them easier to load.

they are louder than regular pellets. still backyard friendly but noticeably louder.

Small and compact product that gets the job done.

Price far too high.

Easy way to remove barrel fouling and excess oils from the barrel.

A little pricey for pieces of felt.

A good way to remove fouling and excess oils from the barrel at the end of a shooting session but they are not a replacement for proper cleaning methods.

Nothing really

Make them longer and tapered to get it in the barrel easy

Just use some patches and some goo gone and the dry patches. I did that after running 3 cleaning pellets and it still was filthy.

Concept of a cleaning pellet.

Clearer instructions. I almost fired it with only one pellet. Instructions say you need 2. Didn't see that at first.

These are hard to insert into my RWS 48. Not sure how to change this as I know you need a proper fit.

Same as .177 pelets!

Nothing!

No harsh solvents!

These cleaning pellets work great, just put a little cleaning solution on one (I use Frog Lube)and push it through the barrel with a cleaning rod. A couple with solution then a couple dry ones and you're done.

They could fit the bore a little tighter, but they work great as is.

DO NOT SHOOT THESE CLEANING PELLETS OUT OF THE BORE LIKE A REGULAR PELLET. You will damage your piston. They are meant to be pushed through the bore with a cleaning rod.

It just so easy to use and works great. thanks to pyramydair again!

none

just get it and take care of your baby. pyramydair is best to me.

I use these (in the appropriate size) in my .177 NP rifle and my newly acquired .22 spring piston pistol. I like that they fit tightly in the bore & can be used with cleaning solvent, lubricating oil or just dry. While some prefer to shoot them out the barrel (sometimes with a pellet behind), I use the traditional bore rod; for cleaning, I feel slower is better and I can see the results on the expelled cleaning pellet. I've experienced a lot of "dieseling" with my new spring pistol, so I'm using them after every session. They load easily and do their job well; can't ask for more.

I'd like to see larger quantity packages at discounted prices.

Think of these cleaning pellets like you would an engine oil filter. Top performance requires top quality products. Don't skimp on cleaning tools for your airgun.

Cleans the residue out of the bore. Works great.

Great item to clean out your rifle bore quickly.

Nothing.

Probably best to remove your barrel shroud before using. They expand quite a bit when they exit the barrel.

From all of the various opinions, reviews, and my personal experience thus far, I believe these cleaning pellets offer the best option for cleaning my pellet guns. The major plus is that they are simple to use. Though pricey, I wouldn't want to be without them. For new shooters, be sure to put a lead pellet in behind the cleaning pellet when firing a cleaning shot or it will be like "dry firing" which is not good for many air guns. Some folks prefer using a cleaning rod with the felt pellets, but reviews say that using a rod can injure your air gun if you approach from the muzzle, yet, on some models, that may be your only option, so I elect to shoot the cleaning pellets out the barrel, backed by a lead pellet. I should add that I put one or two cleaning pellets with my favorite solvent (without petroleum distillates) out the barrel first, followed by a non-petroleum based lubed pellet, then a dry pellet. Remember that since air guns aren't subjected to powder residue, cleaning can be far more simplistic and less frequent, unless you're in competition and under coaching advice. I believe RWS brand offers superior quality and is a favorite of mine.

great for quick cleaning

cheaper price

works well with oversize bores

They do what they're supposed to & do it well - all the felt seems of high quality and is uniform.

Not a thing really except of course more per container lol.

I generally clean my gun manually but theses come in handy if you don't have the time or you're in the field - They don't recommend firing these through your gun (but you can of course with no problems-2 at a time with a few drops of Otis Ultra Bore-this is how I mostly use them) They're best used pushing them through the barrel with a cleaning rod so your cleaning is more thorough.
