Things I liked:

Tried the .22 Benjamin Discovery in a Marauder Pistol and groups were poor compared to the H&N Barracuda Match. The pellets will not work in the Browning 800 Express, since the pellets fall through the barrel if pointed at the ground before firing.

Things I would have changed:

Detailed dimensions, especially head diameter.

What others should know:

Be aware of the small head dimension.

    Things I liked:

    Best pellet I've used so far for my Benjamin Marauder

    Things I would have changed:

    Nothing

    What others should know:

    The Crossman premiers that are the same weight and shape seem to shoot just as well for less money, but have the occasional flyer about every tenth pellet. These Benjamin discovery pellets seem to have a flier about every twenty-fifth pellet, but at 25 to 50 yards, still good enough accuracy to smack a squirrel every shot.

    Things I liked:

    Nice attractive tin that catches your eye.

    Things I would have changed:

    My .22 tin has a handful of .177 pellets in it. Discovered this after I dropped a .177 into the .22 chamber, pulled out about 6 of the smaller .177s by hand, still a few more .177s in the tin that I will remove as I go thru the tin rather than dig them out the tedious way. Probably a changeover of machines and calibers lot causing the mixture.

    What others should know:

    Same pellet as the Crosman HPs, same company, so it makes sense that they are just repackaging the pellets into a different tin to grab more of the market share. The pellets look identical with the same mold lines as the Crosman HPS, and have the exact same POI as the Crosmans - (I always get different POIs across different pellets). Based on the higher price, just buy the Crosman HPs and save a few dollars on the exact same pellet. Just as accurate in my RWS 460 as the Crosmans, a good plinking pellet.

    Things I would have changed:

    What others should know:

    I bought these to use in my new Benjamin Akela for shooting sage rats this year. I also bought the .177s for my Marauder. I zeroed each gun at 30yds and was stacking pellets on top of each other. These are the most accurate HP I have used. I have only used domed pellets because they are the type of pellet that have only given me the accuracy I was looking for longer ranges. I hit sage rats out to 50yds this year but no further due to winds. The rats dropped like little rocks. . I have not tested the deformation of the pellets and had a few over penetrated but those rats were close, 10yds-15yds. The shape and size seemed to be consistent but I do not go through and check each one for precision. They worked and this pellet will be my go to for now on for sage rats.

    Things I liked:

    I cant believe how straight these pellets fly! I use them in my P-rod. I wont use any other pellets but these because of how perfect they are. Love them so much I bought a lot more. Taking pigeons at 80 yards with these! You can see through the scope how straight they fly. I know they are made by Benjamin and my p-rod is Benjamin, but I wonder if Benjamin knows how perfect they are for this rifle?

    Things I would have changed:

    Not a friggin thing. They might be pricy to some, but Im getting one shot one kill up to 80 yards with these, so money well spent as far as Im concerned.

    What others should know:

    To be honest, the 80 yard shots, the pigeons take a hit and then fly away a shirt distance then expire. But anywhere under 80 yards they drop like anchors. I was using JSB RS DIABLOS 13.43g before these rounds and was getting great accuracy and power at way shorter ranges, but these came back in stock and I picked some up and wow!, totally amazed. You must try them in your Benjamin p-rod. They will probably do well in any rifle but I think they are a match for the p-rod. Trust me

    Things I would have changed:

    Theres nothing to change if you want to change anything that would be your mind on picking a different pallet other than that they work good enough.

    What others should know:

    They come in a decent tin a Screwtop which keeps them safe if theyre knocked around no need for tape they should all be this way.

    Things I liked:

    It's very easy to give these pellets 5 stars across the board, because in my Marauder Pistol these are the MOST Accurate of all the pellets I've tried. Great Accuracy, Great Penetration, Great Hollow-point for quick clean dispatching of critters, Very Good Price point (especially when you buy 4 and pay for 3)

    Things I would have changed:

    Not the pellets, but the tin is a little tricky to get opened. But, hey, I can work with that!!!

    What others should know:

    The same goes for All Pellets....Try a wide range assortment, find the ones that shoot to your liking (actually the guns) and stick with them. I am so pleased that my P-rod loves these pellets. With these my P-rod pops squirrels out to 45 yards, clean kills. Oh Yeah, I can't forget....I've nicknamed these...."Silver Bullets"

    Things I liked:

    Pyramid Air shipping and packing was awesome! I ordered 3 tins and got a 4th for free. And they were packed extremely well - cut out foam pads for the tins and a good heavy box. I'm new to air guns and these were on the shelf in Cabelas so I bought a tin. They shoot pretty well for me in a Gamo Fusion. I know they are made by Crosman and are probably the same as the cheaper Crosman pellets. But the marketing tricks have me convinced that these work, so I bought 4 more tins from Pyramid Air. I'm confident with these and willing to pay the price for a tin of 500 for general target shooting with kids and family.

    What others should know:

    I did buy a tin of Crosman pellets now and am going to compare the 2. Maybe I'll switch for the price difference(?). But I know these work well in my current air guns and I like them.

    Things I liked:

    Excellent accuracy in my Benjamin Marauder. Good all-around hunting pellet. Clean kills on large varmints like racoons and armadillos. Lots of pesky squirrels cleared from my Pecan trees. Pellets nice and clean in the container.

    Things I would have changed:

    Price. I'd always like a lower price. PA's buy 3 get 1 free helps.

    What others should know:

    There are probably more accurate pellets out there and there are probably better hunting pellets, but these Discovery pellets work great for me. I've shot over 3,000 and I'm still buying them, so that should tell you something.

    Things I liked:

    These are the most accurate over-the-counter pellets I can find locally. I shoot them in a Ruger Impact Max. The RIM does not like 14.3 gr CPHP's. 2" ten yard groups with CPHP. 3/8" ten yard groups with the Benjamins. 1" groups at 35 yards. They look just like the CPHP and I can't tell them apart but my rifle can. Think on that.

    Things I would have changed:

    Clean the swarf off. My pellet pen deposits a lot of swarf on the breach face when loading. Little flecks of lead are visible on the breach face and the breach seal O-ring. Some of that has to be getting into the bore with each shot. I think that could explain the occasional flyer. Pack em' 1500 in a box.

    What others should know:

    Some people think these pellets are identical to CPHP's. My rifle says otherwise. I can't explain it but that's just the way it is. I've been through three tins in eighteen months. All bought at different times and retailors (Dick's Academy, and Bass Pro) and they are still the most accurate pellet I don't have to order and pay shipping on.
