Beeman Crow Magnum, .177 Reviews

Uniformity, weight, expansion! My Umarex Fuel just loves these pellets at 35-50 yards. I re-purpose soda cans and milk jugs, fill'em with water and shoot. These pellets expand better than most other hollowpoints that I've tried. Crosman Destroyers (7.4 gr) were my "go to" pellets, but these 8.80 Crow Magnums seem to offer a little better umph on target. Where the Destroyers sometimes pass completely thru, these usually do not (gallon milk jug).

Nothing

Added these pellets to my group of favorites. Nice plinkers! Good quality pellet. No complaints. Try them.

Reliable expansion, uniform manufacturing. A perfect short-medium range pesting pellet, if your gun likes them. As the name suggests, these are possibly the perfect pellets for pest birds out to medium ranges. (maybe 30 yards?) They're good at medium velocities of 700-800 fps.

Better pricing per pellet. Maybe offer different tin sizes: how about 100 (trial size) and 500? (once you know your gun likes them) They don't shoot anywhere near as accurately as domes out of higher power PCPs, but are often good enough at close-medium ranges. Accuracy tapers off if shot faster, and they won't expand if shot slower.

These are no the same pellet as the H&N Crow Magnums. Different weight and everything. I've tried these on squirrels and sparrows out of my Marauder and Compatto. The Marauder shoots them well at 10-15 yards, but the Compatto doesen't. From the Marauder, they're quite good enough for easy head shots on squirrels and body shots on sparrows out to at least 15 yards. I used to shoot squirrels with CPH domes, but found that they were blowing right through the squirrels (@ 875 fps) and still had enough energy to blow up a good puff of dirt on the far side of them. I clearly was not making good use of the energy. Switched to Crow Magnums, and I had a lot less pass-throughs and textbook perfect mushroom expansion. (920 fps at the muzzle) These penetrate, then expand and slow down to dump their energy.

Great pellet.. shot well and are devastating on game. Pellets expand like a hollow point should..

Nothing about the pellet.

These pellets held a nickel sized group at 25 yards.. my nitro venom dusk loves them.

These pellets hit hard.They are very accurate.They are made very well also.

It needs a screw on lid and a foam pad would be nice also.

This crow magnum is very accurate in the Benjamin titan NP, the Beeman sportsman rs2 series and the Daisy powerline 880.Every pellet gun is different but personally I think that you should try them.They are probably accurate in most pellet rifles.

Likes. . . .deep hollow tip, fairly uniform size, snug fit in breech (rotary mags & rifles), fast & accurate, very hard hitting, good weight for target, hunting & and pests.

Nothing. . . .non-screw lids are not a notable issue. A little creativity will solve the problem. Good pellet performance is the issue.

Try different pellets. I have found the Predator Polymag .177 to be the ultimate performer in a large %age of my rifles, but they do not fit in rotary mags for pistols. So. . . .as a 1st time user of this Beeman Crow Magnum, it is multi purpose and quite devastating on whatever the target. This makes about close to forty different pellets purchased to determine the pros & cons for my intended use. I said all that to say "try different pellets". . . .This one is a keeper. PA's buy 4 get 1 free makes this possible. BTW. . .this pellet is deadly coupled with the Umarex Octane .177. . . .just deadly. . .

I've tried at least half a dozen different pellets in my Beeman P17 pistol and QB78 rifle. In the pistol they are by far the most accurate (VERY accurate) in the pistol, and tie for first in the rifle along with the 8.44 grain JSB Match Diablo's. They're also the best I've found for my Gamo Silver Shadow spring gun. But don't expect expect any miracles.

Nothing

Definitely worth a try.

Very hard hitting pellet! Pest don't stand chance.

Nothing.

Very accurate out of my Hatsan 125 sniper. No tumble and great energy downrange!

Well made, accurate, Beeman quality as always. Great expansion for hunting.

Screw top tin. Cost per pellet.

Same pellet as H & N Crow magnum, compare weight

These are great pellets, they are consistently accurate. Expansion from my Remington express into clay went from .177 to .25 caliber at 25 yards.

Screw top tin, pricier than H & N crow mags.

Same pellet as H & N crow magnums, disregard H & N's claim of heavier pellet weight, they are the same

Pellets clean and well made.

Put a screw on lid on the can.

Shoot these pellets from a Crosman MTR 77. At 25yds they will produce same hole hits, very impressed with them and they maintain a great velocity also.

Best hollow points made in reference to expansion. They do expand.

Nothing

Very accurate for me but accuracy you get will depend on your rifle.

Very accurate in my X20S. Great knockdown for doves and pigeons at up to 40 yds.

A bit more pointed tip for better brush penetration might help. Loses too much power if it has to punch through a few layers of small branches.

Works well in my Beeman R10. Proving to be a solid hard hitting pellet, works well for small pest control. Accuracy is good so far. Will see how they workmout after going through a full tin.

Screw top lid for tin.

Quality is good, my Beeman R10 really seems to like this hunting pellet.

These guys are well made and hit hard. I have other pellets I cracked shots with at grackles, they work, but not like these. When these crow mags hit, it's an instant kill.

Screw top container, 500 pellet tins, would be preferred. They are slightly expensive.

Accuracy was pretty good on my gun. I have some other pellets that are a little better, but these are nice. The added expansion and knockdown power make them worth the little accuracy loss!

These pellets are incredible, accurate, heavy enough to carry energy up to about 45 yards, give or take,but I'm shooting these out of my rifle Mr. OCTANE as I call him. So I shot a paper target at about 20 yards and the pellet past through and hit the steel back stop and turned into led dust. A very powerful Pellet indeed.

More in a screw on ten would be good.

I really recommend these for pest or rodent control because of the damage they cause, that's why they're rated so high. To hunt with these would be catastrophic to your game. Buy these especially if you have the Umarex Octain, I'm getting over 900 FPS that's hauling A--!!!!!!

Accuracy in my Gamo. Appear to be consistent high quality.

Higher pellet count per tin. Nothing else really

These have become my new favorite pellet in my Gamo Whisper. Very accurate. Appear to expand well in small game. Liked them well enough to order tins in .22 and .25. Hope those shoot as well.

hard hitting. good fit and finish.

nothing.

good for higher power air rifles for about 30yds.

I compared these to Crossman Premier with my new Hatsan 95. They performed noticably better. They appear to maintain accuracy and offer a better penetration. I am using a target at about 15 yards and they are within the 1" group and stacking several times. I do not have years of shooting experience but certainly feel the beaman are more accurate. They also prove to have better stopping power/damage than the Crossman on red squirrels.

Accurate, hard hitting, clean, and, well made. What's not to like?

500 round tins would be nice.

These work well in my silent cat. They fit snug in the chamber and are deadly accurate within 30 yds. I keep a couple extra tins backed up in my stash.

screw on lid please.

again I used my Gamo silent cat and get nice tight groups up to 30 yrds . I haven't tried to stretch it out any further. Give these a shot in your rifle.
