The Silver Bear is a true classic, and was the very first hollow point airgun pellet ever designed, and remains the best known today! The Silver Bear gives excellent expansion in magnum guns, lower power guns can benefit from the forward cup. The sharp edge head could be considered a semi wadcutter design. Best of all, this is a lightweight pellet, except in .25 caliber. Great for field uses, or just informal shooting.

Things I liked:For a relatively light pellet, the SB's quite accurate for their price range. One of my favorite pellets for hunting/plinking/target shooting. In calm weather, they retain much of their energy and accuracy out to 30 plus yards with moderate to sub-magnum rifles. Things I would have changed:More pellets to the tin in

In calm weather, they retain much of their energy and accuracy out to 30 plus yards with moderate to sub-magnum rifles. Things I would have changed:More pellets to the tin in the .22 cal line. Perhaps a screw on lid!! What others should know:To me, these pellets are a bit light for use in some of my stronger rifles. But all guns fire/respond differently to different pellets, and I wouldn't over look these at all if you're looking for "the" pellet to use in your gun!!

Things I liked:Seem reasonably accurate with Daisy 22sg Things I would have changed: What others should know:Sharp shoulder on pellet makes these very hard to load in Daisy 22SG

Things I liked:HIt's hard and FAST. Great for Rabbits. With other pellets (At 45 -50 yrds!!) most rabbits hear the RSW 350 Magnum before the pellet hits. Not with the Silver Bear. Pull the trigger, hit the head, and they'll drop dead. Things I would have changed: What others should know:

Things I liked:good consistency of shape, few damaged skirts Things I would have changed:for a "baseline" pellet, lower the price. and please PLEASE put a screw on lid on the tin!!!

honestly, for something called a "hollow point", i expected more expansion. shooting into block ice at 20 yards, there seemed to very little expansion, although.... the impact crater was quite impressive.

Things I liked:It's a hollow point Things I would have changed:Length, weight, design of hollow point What others should know:Not the best choice in hollow points to hunt with. Very small in length, Not the best designed hollow point tip, this pellet would be better off in an air pistol hunting small to very small game
... Read MoreThings I liked:It's a hollow point Things I would have changed:Length, weight, design of hollow point What others should know:Not the best choice in hollow points to hunt with. Very small in length, Not the best designed hollow point tip, this pellet would be better off in an air pistol hunting small to very small game or just target practicing. If you have an air pistol that is 400 to 500 fps then these should work out perfect for you since they are very small in length and very lightweight. If you are looking for a great hollow point pellet to hunt big game with or something bigger than a sparrow then go with the Beeman Crow Magnums a much better choice. Out of all the hunting pellets I have I never select these if I do it's usually for target shooting out of my weak Benjamin EB22. I love Beeman pellets but this is one hollow point that left me disappointed, hope this helps those trying to figure out what type of hollow point pellets to hunt with. Remember the lighter the pellet is the worse it is for hunting, always go with the bigger and heavier to drop those varmints.

Things I liked:I submitted a review for this pellet a while back, but now that I've had a chance to really test it, here is some additional info. On impact the head of the .22 Silver Bear flattens out into a large cup. Out of the 10 types of pellets that I tested, the Silver Bear created the 4th largest entry hole, averaging .1645" in diameter
... Read MoreThings I liked:I submitted a review for this pellet a while back, but now that I've had a chance to really test it, here is some additional info. On impact the head of the .22 Silver Bear flattens out into a large cup. Out of the 10 types of pellets that I tested, the Silver Bear created the 4th largest entry hole, averaging .1645" in diameter (about 76% of the pellets original size, leaving a large clean entry hole with a tiny jagged star edge). But the best part was the impressive expansion that topped the charts at 26%. In spite of having the best expansion of any pellet that I tested, it only created a medium sized exit hole (clean oval shaped hole), about .3325"x .2635" in diameter, which explains the moderate energy transfer to the target (6th best out of 10). One explanation for the moderate energy transfer may be its very small hollow point nose, which acts more of a point. My tests show that the initial impact of the small hollow point actually improves penetration and delays the expansion, thus allowing more over penetration and less energy transfer to the target. In my pellet comparisons, the Silver Bear tied the Crossman Copperhead pointed field pellet for the best overall size consistency (measured the head, skirt & Length of several pellets from each type of pellet tested) which is great for consistent shooting. Things I would have changed:Unfortunately the Silver Bear didn't shoot that accurately with my rifle, averaging groups of .7568" c-t-c (best group was .69" c-t-c) at 25 yards. The average price of all the pellets that I tested was $0.035 each, so at $0.041 each, the Silver Bear provides moderate accuracy and average stopping power. What others should know:Out of the 10 types of pellets that I tested, the .22 Silver Bear semi hollow point is the shortest (0.239') and the lightest (12.65 gr) making it fast, but maybe not so accurate down range. The other 9 pellets that I tested included the FTS, Silver Sting, Copper Head (pointed), Kodiak, Supper Dome, Crow Magnum, Max Speed Flat-Nosed 7562, Silver Ace, and the Ram Jet. My rifle is a .22 Beeman GS1000 that is rated at 765 FPS by the Mfg.

Things I liked:Good hunting pellet,out to 35 yds.Good expansion Things I would have changed:nothing What others should know:good general purpose rounds

Things I liked:100% more accurate in my Beeman GS1000 .22 rifle than any other Beeman or Crossman pellet that I've tried. Much tighter groups at 20 yards (1" c-t-c) no problem. Things I would have changed:Container does not stay closed. I wish the lid screwed on. What others should know:When shot with a higher powered

Things I would have changed:Container does not stay closed. I wish the lid screwed on. What others should know:When shot with a higher powered airgun, these hollow point pellets penetrate very well, and they really do open up nicely. Very deadly at 20 yards (I haven't tried them beyond 20 yards). Excellent for hunting squirrels.

Things I liked:Light, fast, consistent. Hollow point hits hard, I use these to hunt birds, squirrels, and rabbits in the back yard and they are deadly at 20~25 yds. Things I would have changed:The tin that they come in doesn't stay closed very well. I had to crimp the edge of the lid a bit to produce enough friction to hold it on

Things I would have changed:The tin that they come in doesn't stay closed very well. I had to crimp the edge of the lid a bit to produce enough friction to hold it on reliably. What others should know:My Crosman 2200 really likes these. They shoot very consistently group tighter than any other pellet I've tried in this gun. Great for lower powered guns like mine!
