Skenco Newboy .177, .177 Reviews

SHOOTS GOOD FOR MY GUN, AND I CAN SHOOT OTHER PELLETS AND DONT HAVE TO RE-ZERO MY SCOPE MAYBE A CLICK OR TWO

MAKE IT AVAILABLE IN THE BIGGER CALS, LIKE .25, .30, AND .357

SHOOTS GOOD IN MY HATSAN, OK IN MY GAMO, AS FOR MYSELF I WILL BE BUYING PCP HATSAN AIR RIFLES, THEY SIMPLY SHOOT DAMN GOOD

How ridiculously heavy they are for .177 these are absolutely wonderful for just smacking things around with a medium power Springer. If you have something you want to annoy out of your immediate radius without killing it this is good in a small power gun.

Nothing they serve my intended purpose perfectly.

I can only imagine if you had a meaty 177 PCP rifle that this would just be a smack a Rooney of a projectile. I would comp this to the rabbit Magnum.

good pellet for the gamo magnum 177 made distance shooting better 60-70 yards work very well

mabe bigger tin

probly be a good choice for pcp air guns

everything

I wish they made these with a round nose. maybe its just a religious belief, but I think round nose pellets are more accurate - although these are pretty good.

Nice screw on cap. Clean, and fairly consistent, along with killer pointed tip

I cannot say, as I have not shot these out of any other gun than my Ruger Air Magnum. They shoot a bit less accurately than my JSB 13.4 pellets, especially at longer shooting distances (past thirty yards), but I would say, given the consistent shape and weight, that they might do exceptionally well out of other Magnum springers or pcp rifles. The quantity to price is a wee bit steep, but I had to get these to see how they would perform. The pellet will probably do well inside thirty-five yards, but I found that the pellet veers off past that.

A good short to medium distance pellet for Magnum springers, certainly the RAM. Good energy retention at twenty yards. The pointed tip will make for a good hunting pellet.

Seem consistent in size and weight.

Increased QTY for the price.

I shoot a Remington Express break-barrel w/3x9 scope purchased from Pyramyd Air. At 10 yards these pellets are tack drivers but once out to 20 yards the pattern opens up to half dollar/silver dollar size. I have shot weights ranging from 8 grains to 13 grains and these are so far the only weight I can seem to group tightly on the bench. Overall great pellet, very consistent.

Longer pellet for more stability in flight. Very accurate for rifles over 1200 FPS.

Nothing

The weight. I chronograph this out of my Benjamin np2 177, and got 734 fps average. Only a 5 fps spread with around 16 lbe.

Just looking at the pellets in their container I found 2 badly deformed ones. Didn't look like it was done from shipping, but rather manufacturing. It would be nice to have more in a container.

They are a softer lead, probably great for hunting. I'm a target kind of guy.

I like the weight and price.

These were just a tad to wide for a Crosman Vantage and Umarex Octane. I would make them skinnier.

I got around the width the issue and they work fine.

clean, fit. weight

none

Great accuracy from a magnum gas sping rifle. Nice weight and shape for penetration of small game.

This particular pellet tends to be expensive in every caliber. However, I end up paying it for every caliber because the performance is good in all of them.

Might be disappointed with anything less than a magnum springer or PCP.

works ok in my ruger mag rifle

way over priced

accurate round but not as good as the Beeman Kodiak 10.2 and about the same power.

Fairly clean. Nicely formed.

Nothing.

The only airgun I own is a Daisy 880 Powerline. According to my CED M2 Chronograph they average 505 fps at 10 pumps. 10 shot groups from an honest 15 yards were consistently right around 1". Most commonly 7/8". One 10 shot group managed an honest 1/2", bullet center to bullet center. In penetration testing of over a dozen different pellets, these out penetrated everything else! That includes out penetrating both the Big Boy Senior 15.8gr pellets and the 10.65gr H&N pellets which both tied as second best in terms of penetration depth. It would seem to me it's the sharp point of the 13gr pellets making the difference, as the 15.8gr Big Boys do carry more momentum, but are more of a pointy round nose design.

13 gr used in my Ruger magnum brought my fps to 930 with good groupings. My 10.2 Kodiak match were running 1120 which was too hot though also grouped well. Kodiak skirt fir is firmer and better while these were a little loose and could fall out while closing breach. They made my gun quieter and in the 26 fpe range and at a 22 cal weight in a .177. I do like them.

More in a tin

Only for super magnum rifles or pcp

These pellets are very accurate with my Quest 1000, usually all touching at 20 yards. The quality and consistancy of these pellets were also a pleasent suprise, try some, you'll love them!

Nothing

Although some well known and established airgunners tell you that heavy pellets shouldn't be used in break barrel air rifles, you should try some, they are very accurate in my air rifle and my spring is still going strong.

Like the Big Boy senior, these pellets are packed very well to prevent damage to the pellet during shipping.

Nothing

These are very hard-hitting pellets

Heavy. Accurate.

I tried these, Eun Jin, and Big Boy Seniors. These were the most accurate of the three. But, since the weight isn't that much of a boost over Brown Box Premiers, and the Price is, I won't be ordering more.

The weight of this pellet alone is what attracted me to this pellet.

I would try to make them a little more accurate, if possible even.

Great for hunting larger small game, ie possum, just not that accurate to shoot at anything on the small size.
