Gamo Rocket .22, .22 Reviews

Five because two springers love them..hatsan Edge spring..Beeman mach 12.5. I like that they separate sometimes to create dual wound channels( armadillo are now scarce...don't know what else perfect for them) I get very good dime accuracy to 30 yards( flyers stay around an inch)..too expensive to plink often...but do great tricks at 900 plus fps! Terminators are more accurate overall...but the bb make steel penetration.

Mating two dissimilar metals ain't easy! I get decent consistency...even with the flyers at my ranges ( most stuff in west Texas don't spook till under 30 yds. even though it's mostly open brush) . I request produce enough to get economy of scale so they are cheaper..that way all can try them.

Like all gadgets..they COST! Some decry accuracy..but some guns are crazy..and do well with them( I have three that don't). That bb on glass bottles( be responsible) is unmatchable. At 14.5 @ grain they are too light for me on most fur game even though they perform well...I just like heavier pellets for 35 pound -plus prey. Rabbits can be harvested cheaper and more practically to my thinking. Turkey would be good but .22 is illegal for them here.

hit very hard. nice ring to them upon impacting old fry pans @50 yards from sig asp 20 (.22cal). accurate for field target use on smaller plates as well.

more in tin

got 6 tins for $1 each in the clearance aisle at wally world. cant speak to performance on paper as i shoot field target tin cans. i may by more even at the regular price when these are gone. these are fun for a specialty pellet. try some.

I bought these to try in my New Crosman 362. at 20 yards I was stacking one on top of the other !

a little pricey just for plinking. so I use sparingly for the cooler stuff to shoot at

These pellets hit hard. More penetration in metal than others that I have used.

More in the tin container for the price.

Try it. Hits hard!

I have found these to be the most accurate pellets out of my Walther Falcon Hunter edition. I get consistent accuracy shot to shot using these.

Nothing

Each gun likes a specific pellet. You have to find the right one

They have a little penetrating power.

About 1% were deformed. The BB fell out and the body was only partially formed.

I waited a while to buy these as I was not sure how they would do in a Bull Boss. Wow! Finally got them and and very pleased! I have the .177 Gamo Lethals, these I would say are the .22 equivalent. The rounds have been shooting cleanly, they are extremely powerful. Six rounds out of the tin and all penetrated thru a heavy metal mug that none of my other .22 rounds could bust through.

Just wish there more that 100, like everyone else.

I lied it shot thru front and back of the metal mug, breaking 2 metal layers with ease.

Easy to load and hard hitting . Easy to recover from the pellet trap and back stop using a magnet . I use a crosman summit ranger and I would not want to be on the recieving end of this pellet.

Nothing at this time.

Follow the instructions for any shooter - always check what is behind your target .

After trying about 8 different kinds of pellets I found that the JSB Jumbos 18.13 gr were the most accurate pellet in my Hatsan Mod 95 Vortex QE. THEN, today I happened to run up on a tin of these Gamo Rockets. Wow, I wish I had bought more. Not only are the hardest hitting pellets I have tried but the most accurate. I know all guns are different but for my Hatsan these things are the BEST!

For me nothing

Have a good backstop. These things hit hard and penetrate!

This a very good product and the price fair

Nothing

Great product

Great penetration and OK accuracy

More consistently fro better accuracy. Had some in my tin with dented and bent skirts.

I shot three pellets all in the same hole at 15 yards with my browning express 800 22 Cal pistol and to my disappointment the next two shot strayed an inch away from the group. I figured I flinched but it repeated the same type of groups two more times. It explains why some times I connect on rabbits at close range and then miss. Its either dead center or an I punch off target. The H&N terminators shoot more consistently with tighter groups so I changed pellets. No game taken with them yet to date yet. Body shots with the rockets on rabbits sail right through with no Energy transfer so head shots are a must. Predator pellets I can hit them with body shots and they go down but they dont group well past 25 feet as well. Hopefully the terminators will be a happy medium between the two pellets.

It seems like a really good design on paper...but in the real world they just dont stack up as well as i would like them to. I would recommend them for plinking and perhaps close rsnge pest control...20yards or so max.

I think if gamo did a little more research and development they would have a really nice performer. Ive found these to be somewhat inconsistant from gun to gun.

In my experience having shot these in pcp and springer these are "okay" at shorter ranges...good for plinking and short range pestiing

This pellet hits hard. Great for pest control.

Lower price more pellets.

In my opinion it's a good quality pellet

Impact pattern. Accuracy. "Impossible" to fall out in tin brass tips.

QC, i had to dump the entire tin and wash off all the pellets. There was tons of loose shrapnel and oil on the pellets. Other then that, maybe sneak in another 50 pellets into the tin?

They shoot well out of my 1377(.22) and new 2240. Have yet to try them on my 2240(hipac) and Marauder since i am waiting on a new handpump.

Not a big Gamo fan but these pellets have shot very we'll in my air gun.

Short on pellets long on price

The hard facing allows these pellets to penetrate well watch your back stops so you don't shoot them out

Ballistic Tip, Your not joking

I would not change a thing,

They hit hard and for targets, they are dead on. Everyone should give these a try. I know everyone won't be sissified with them, just give a try.

Gamo does get a few things right,and this pellet is one of them. I have 13 air rifles ,all makes and this pellet has a good smack and is accurate in all.

Put them in a hard can with tape around the lid, forget the plastic top.

Give them a try ,if you don't hit it's not the rifle or the pellet it's you.

Very accurate, high mussel energy and velocity. Easy to load the magazine.

Nothing!

These are the best and most consistent pellets I have found for small game hunting. My indoor target is made of 12 layers of corrugated cardboard with a 1/4" plywood backing. This will stop a 22 Cal. domed pellet at 10 yds, shot through my Benjamin Titan. The Rockets reach the plywood. These have superior knockdown power.

Nothing, just would like to see them sold in larger quantity tins.

Accurate and consistent. Good seal in breach.

Bigger Tin

These are a pretty good pellet overall. They shoot accurately in my Benjamin Prowler and they seat in the breach nice and snug every time. Something to be mindful of is that they are designed for penetration. They do what they are supposed to, but the added penetration comes at the expense of impact. On smaller varmints like gophers, they tend to zip right through with much less terminal effect than a regular dome or a crosman destroyer. A little bigger tin would be nice too.
