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:An OK pellet for underpowered guns. It gives adequate accuracy and expansion at close range. Things I would have changed:Weight and velocity vary* too much for long range accuracy, besides which it doesn't have the ballistic efficiency of longer, heavier domed rounds.
At 780 fps, the standard deviation is 12.6

At 780 fps, the standard deviation is 12.6 fps, relatively high for precision pellets. What others should know:Silver Bears turn themselves inside out at close range and give good expansion at longer ranges. However, they are so light they can fail to completely penetrate game animals Since air guns kill by disrupting the central nervous system or by causing hemorage, it is important to go through as much tissue as possible to increase bleeding. If you have a full-power gun and want hollowpoint terminal performance, consider RWS or HN.

Things I liked:very accurate, uniform in shape and size, shoots very well in my benjamin trail. will shoot in the same hole as h&n 12.65 hp. visually cannot tell the difference. Things I would have changed:a lid that stays on the can. What others should know:if you have a benjamin trail, get some!!!

What others should know:Silver Bear pellets are much lighter than Crow Magnums in .20 cal, but about the same weight as the Crow magnum in .25 cal. Haven't tried them in .22 cal yet. In .25 cal they are more accurate than Crow Magnums beyond 35 yards in my BSA Lonestar which is a magnum PCP. In .20 cal in a PCP they are for short range work as the Crow Magnum works better at longer ranges due to the heavier weight. In .20 cal they are good for use inside buildings due to the light weight and limited penetration. In either case, if you want to hit hard at long range, better go with a Baracuda or Kodiak. Hollowpoint pellets are best inside 40 yards even from a magnum PCP rifle. Silver Bears, just like Crow Magnums, will hit lower at long range compared to Kodiaks or Baracudas due to the velocity loss, in spite of their higher initial velocity. That also means less energy into the target, and no expansion will result at that range anyway. Use the Silver Bear for a short range pellet, and you will be OK. Works best in .25 cal for me.
