Gamo Hunter .22, .22 Reviews

dead on out of my gauntlet

Price. Fairly well shaped shot ,not too many out of round in the tin.

Bigger container. If what you're shooting has a magazine it would be nice to be able to get more shots per purchase. Not everybody wants to blow a hundred and eighty bucks to get the shipping for free.

Both my medium power Gamo IGT rifles like this round. Can't help you if you have a 22 Springer. IDK.

I was pleasantly surprised by how snugly they fit the breech of my .22 Striker 1000x & Crosman 160 Pellgun I restomodded. Accurate with good penetration. The domed shape seems to be among the best for over-all use. Both aerodynamically and penetration-wise. I installed the Archer replacement valve ( Crosman redesign from 1963) in my 160 Pellgun. And with this pellet it got it's highest ever FPE of 11.76! Not bad for a variant one of 1955-56 vintage. Even the 1000x performed well with them.

I tend to agree that these later, read new label offerings are of better quality. Keep improving quality control and these pellets will consistently perform as well as JSB, RWS, or even H&N!

At least visually sort your pellets for bent skirts or off calibers mixed in. And keep your bore clean, as the rifles tend to break in faster when cleaned after every session. Why? Because pellets make a black crud very similar to a powder burner to the eye. It's the antimony in the lead the pellets are made from, and whatever is used to coat them. These things can definitely effect performance.

Well, they were the cheapest pellets available.

Quality control. Several pellets had larger heads and were difficult to get into the breach. Also, several were miscast and had cuts and protrusions on.them.

I.will use these up, but no more Gamo pellets for me, looking for quality at any price, and these lacked in that area.

I like the simple, domed profile, which is like the Benjamin pellets I bought first. (Local hardware store find, before I even had a .22 air rifle!)

Maybe a lighter pellet. It didn't perform on small game as well as I hoped, from my Nitro Piston. Maybe they do better from a PCP?

Seem to be accurate, but may be below the peak velocity my rifle is capable of. (Crosman Shockwave .22 Nitro Piston)

The shape.

More strict control of head size.

I was surprised with the tin I received. The pellets were clean and without deformities.I read so many bad reviews but I wanted to give them a try on my rifles.They shoot well on my Benji NP2 and Hatsan stryker 1000s up to 75 feet,over that the accuracy decreased.The only problem I found is that about 20-30% of them have bigger heads and don't enter on the barrel easily.You can force them with a tool but those were fliers.The others that fit well shoot accurately.

This was the only can from gamo that stayed shut.

Packing technique.

Machine dropped into tin. I had 43 pellets I could not shoot. Half of them, the heads were to dented to fit in. The rest had skirts so squashed they looked more like lead balls.

The Gamo Hunter were named correctly i have shot many rat out of our building where we keep our Chicken feed & i am telling you right now they are 100% killers & they shoot a very goo group i sighted these in @ 25 yards & off i go to have a rat killing i can't get too graphic but i will say that when they got one on my Gamo Hunters they were missing most of thier heads

offer these in a 500ct screw tin

I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that one can fill his/her Squirrel limit very quickly from what i have learned thisis common with the Gamo Pellets I would recommend these in a heartbeat for rats Squirrels & rabbits also

Good quantity and quality for the price. Accurate with my Octane

Nothing

Just try them to see if you like them with your gun

They don't look real pretty but they perform. I can't dispute the results of a penny size group on the target at 35yds, and I'm just a so-so shot with a springer.

Nothing, don't mess with success.

Shooting a Gamo Bull Whisper Extreme in 22, 7lbs 10oz with a 6X scope doing 19ftlbs energy. Tried over a dozen of the most common 'go to' pellets for accuracy and performance. This one worked in this rifle. Also JSB RS and Predator PolyMag were very accurate. Each type of pellet grouped to a different POI, so the scope has to be reset for the pellet to be used. Perfect hunting rig for my 50yd limit. Great medium weight pellet.

Accurate, inexpensive, nice weight. These pelletts are pretty darn nice and wow are they inexpensive. Good job Gammo, quality and affordability.

Nothing

I have been useing these to break in my Benjamin NP Limited edition, they seem fine, and accurate. I have used other Gamo pelletts in the past and have always like the quality, and inovation.

The tin has a screw on lid.

Quality Control

These are the worst lead pellets I have ever seen, and sight unseen I bought two tins of them. Darn!!! 50% of these pellets are so deformed that I can't shoot them. I mean they are really bad. Gamo is goint to be hearing from me.

Bought these in the Gamo Combo 4 pack. Volume-wise, I think they're a great value. However, they don't group well in my Benjiman 392. They do a little better in my Crosman Backpacker.

-Consistency in size. Some fit loose and others are super tight. -Also, clean them up. They are very dirty and have lots of bits hanging off of them from manufacturing.

-The skirts are a tad long and pinch when pushing the bolt in. I'm pretty sure this is one of the reasons I'm getting poor accuracy. -I think they just don't like Crosman guns.

These are the first pellets I am shooting in my first air gun. Seem pretty accurate and I was able to sight in my new gun in about 15 shots. Nice groupings at both 15 and 20 yards.

Worked well in my Gamo Silent Stalker. When the weather warms up I will continue fine tuning the scope. One shot on a bunny at about 25 yards and dinner was ready.

improve manufacturing tolerances and create a better product.

The best group I can get from these is 1.2 inch at 10 yards from my springer rifle on a bench rest. These are junk.

The packaging, as usual is superb by PA. Great customer service and fast, economical shipping make PyramydAir my #1 choice.

These pellets are absolutely awful. There is no consistency pellet to pellet and there is slag leftover from manufacturing stuck to the pellets.

These are a waste of money in my opinion. Pyramyd has a wide selection of good pellets. Spend the money on good pellets and you come out better in the long run.

These Gamo pellets performed best in my Crosman Optimus .22 caliber.I tried several different brands and weights and these let me keep my groups at 1" or under at 25 yards. Lee

to be honest, i was actually quite suprised. i found these, out of 3 different gamo .22's, to be the most accurate in my titan gp. i was shooting at 10 yards. i got 1/2" groups. that is what i need for my starling bait hunt.

the quality of the pellets. they were very rough looking, and had seams coming out the sides. and the end of it is crappy looking and a little marked up.

find the best pellet for your gun and you should have the accuracy for hunting and target shooting.

I thought and think this is a great pellet. It hits hard, my gun shoots it acuratly. I use a Beeman R1 combo with the 177cal, and the 22 cal barrels. I do see a diffrence in the style of this one compared to the 177 style. the 177 seems to hug the barrel better in the front of the pellet. but none the less I don't see any difference in shot placement or power. Good Pellet, for My Gun.

Nothing, except maybe the front of the pellet a little tighter fit into the barrel.

Absolutely nothing.

Go back to the old pellet design. The new design is crap.

Gamo Hunter pellets have for many years been my favorite pellet for most air guns I own. They've always been a little dirty, but worked great. Now Gamo has pulled a slick one. They changed the design of the hunter pellets(at least in .22 cal.)from a good pellet to pure crap. There not uniformly shaped, they appear to be made in two part mold and have casting lines. A few in the last tin I got looked like they had wings. They remind me of some cheap Chinese pellets I once bought at a flea market, and shoot about as well. Accuracy while not horrible is very disappointing. So now I have to start looking for a new favorite pellet. Thanks allot Gamo.
