Seneca .22 Cal, .22 Reviews

Accurate. One hole.

They are sized for Korean .22 which is @ .221 versus .217 to .219 for American. Old European air guns are also big. Obviously ..size American..at least SOME BATCHES ! Preciousity of airgunners...put pells in a empty tin that you like. Simple. Plink with damaged ( slight) pells. Simple.

I have zero problems with loading..provided..1) absolutely straight insert to bore. 2) use flat surface to push pell.( I use my thumbnails on either side of breech( safety issue) and wiggle in.) Guns: Beeman Mach 12.5, Hatsan 125 non sniper, Hatsan Edge spring; Beeman Grizzly. The accuracy is due to groove/lands tight fit. Grip and spin pellet well.

Accurate in my Sumatra at 860 fps. No flyers at this speed.

Screw on lid.

Warning: Lots of reviewers using these in Benjamin pumpers are taking a risk of blowing off the soldered-on breech, especially older guns. The weight of these pellets and barrel fit causes a higher static breech pressure (900-1000psi) for a longer time before the pellet moves down the barrel when the valve releases. In other words, high back pressure on an old solder connection. It will be just a matter of time before it separates so be mindful of it.

They look cool.

Make them so they will load.

They are very hard to load and wouldn't work in my magazine on a swarm series Gamo

the price is good , one hole groups

offer tins of 250 or 500 and some foam padding in the tin , better quality control , found 1 or 2 per tin that had holes and missing lead in the nose and 8 to 10 that the nose was deformed a little , some fit a lot tighter than others

I had no flyers but they did fit tight in my delta wolf , at 24y and 912 fps I shot 3 groups of 3 and had 3 holes on paper that were a single hole with no over lap just a single perfect hole that all 3 pellets went threw 3 times , they shot better than the jsb 25gn RD but hit harder and no flyers

I set my delta wolf to the fac setting for JSB 25 g monsters and they shot at 900 fps and did load tight in the barrel but the group I got at 20y was smaller than a dime for 10 shots and they did hit real hard , so the do group very good in my gun

more per tin

for the money give them a try

Fits in the magazine of the Stormrider, but works quite well with my Diana Stormrider.

Nothing at all, the rounds are perfect for what they are.

These things work quite well with PCP rifles. I have a Diana Stormrider and these rounds work quite well with them.

I like their weight also their Length A lot of bearing service in Bore . Pellets are oversized you need to buy whatever caliber you have have both calibers of 5.5 pelletizer or a 4.5 pellet Sizer they have to be sized for before you use them theyre too tight hard to push in the bridge of my Springers other than that after sizing theyre awesome very accurate you need a powerful gun . To push that lead mass out if you have that they’re very accurate I wish I could send you a photo they splat ouch to an inch in diameter wow

I would change the can they need to make it more user-friendly it’s very hard to get open very thin very tight fitting very smooth no grip not fun

I mentioned before I put Vortech spring kits In a Beeman R – one also HW number 80 also a Diana 350 magnum. All supercharged spring kits and silicone impregnated pistons it’s a serious wack attack

If you have a gun that will shoot them, these are a hard-hitting pellet that punches above its weight. They don't fit every bore well, nor do they fit every magazine. They get the best push from a pcp or magnum break barrel.

Although the last tins I've purchased are far better, I have received tins of dirty-looking pellets. Expect the occasional bent skirt.

These are a good hunting load in the proper gun, and carry lot of wallop.

The price was good. The initial design got me to try these as they look impressive and the weight would have lots of punch on small game.

I thought I'd try these as most springers like heavier pellets. These did not do so good. My Aspen and Swarm magnum just didn't digest and shoot these very well.

I already tried the 32 gr pointed and raved about power and accuracy in my 17 to 30 ftlb. Springers( Beeman mach 12.5.Beeman rs 2 grizzly. Benji Prowler. Hatsan Edge. Hatsan 125.) . As expected..the lighter weight gives more zip and trajectory flattening in comparison..power of Beni @(20 ftlbs) mangles these in 2x4 at 10 meters with no tail protruding. My 30 lb.ers throw them seemingly like 21 grs hn. Baracudas ( good long range bird round) but with smashing thump at 30 yds! Perfect for jackrabbit at 30( when I can find them here) got 2 body shot. H 125. I doubted the accuracy compared to 32 gr version. I wrong.

Luckily they fit all my springers albeit with coaxing in most. More for money..of course. Good luck wid dat.

They seem to get VERY good at @30 ftlbs. Probably crazy effects at 45-50 ftlbs. Somebody with PCP check! If you get them..and they're too tight..google Swage to size..it probably worth it.

The image on the tin, that's it.

I roughly measured the head diameter at 5.65 mm. I would change the head diameter. They were too large for my Seneca Aspen .22 Cal and my Air Venturi Avenger .22. They fit into the magazines but would get stuck halfway into the breech. Had the same issue with the single shot tray. The cocking lever would only travel about halfway closed and from there forward required an insane amount of force, feeling like it was going to break the lever if the lead did not shave off a little to allow the pellet to insert all the way. I even had to use a very thin knife blade to cut one of them in half while it was only partially out of the magazine and stuck halfway into the breech so that I could remove the mag to clear the jam/obstruction these pellets caused. I shot less than 10 of the 250 pellets I bought, out of each gun I tried them in with so much difficulty cambering these I just threw both tins full of these Seneca pellets as far as I could into the back yard. That made me feel better...

Read the things I would change.

They flew well and a reasonably tight group.

Too large for my Gamo Swarm Magnum 10x Gen2 and Hatsan Flash Pup QE .22. Makes them super difficult to chamber (close the breach). Even caused my Gamo auto feed system to come apart.

Only reason for my overall low rating is the difficulty in chambering the rounds.

These really work good in the Seneca eagle claw because they were made for this Korean air rifle.

They're a little bit pricey for the quantity you get and I cannot stand wrestling with the lid to open it. You think you get at least 150 so the quantity is lacking severely and the lid really needs some work!

These are like big red darts because they have fins and then they have more fins so they really fly nice but don't expect them to work too well in a low powered gun.

Another heavy hitter, cleaner than other pellets, packaged well.

N/A

I have not shot them out past 20 yards. They work well at my short range.

they fly straight

i would like to see a hollow point version of these

Shape and weight of pellet offer great promise in a rifle. However I'm using a .22 pistol with 12" barrel. What should have been a heart lung shot just crippled the critter. It ran off the be Owl food that night.

Many bent skirts and the finish on all pellets was very rough. The tin they arrived in was open in the box. Tapeing the tin closed at the factory should be a must.

I like the shape, looks perfect for hunting.

Better quality control, & lower weight 26 5 grains. about 10% where deformed.

For hunting & target shooting, GOT to inspect every pellet, not consisant.

Big 'uns! I have tried all types of pellets on a QB78 HPA I built and ended up with sporadic accuracy. The factory barrel is too loose for anything 5.55 and under head size. A Lothar Walther barrel was the only answer until I tried these (since I have a Sumatra that ONLY likes them). The head size on these, 28.5g and 32.4g are well over 5.58 according to my Pelletgage. Both sizes shoot a 7/16 hole in 5 shot groups at 25 yards, 750 fps for 28.5 and 710fps for 32.4 . Same 25yd zero for both pellet grains. It shoots 14.3 at 980fps. Shots are 1.5in lower than 14.3g They are long pellets but I machined the breech bolt handle channel back an 1/8 in. These are the only pellets my Sumatra will decently group with too, but not as good as the QB78. We need this head size in a lighter pellet too!

More pellets for price please...and a screw on lid! Make a lighter pellet in this line with this head size.

The head size on these pellets is .219". Not going to breech into a lot of guns. These pellets are NOT going to be cost effective for low powered guns, like CO2 powered QB's. If you have an HPA converted QB, that 850 psi reg wont do. It better be pushing 1400psi for anything over 10yards.

I like the length & weight of the pellet as it was accurate enough on my Seneca eagle claw, Its hard hitting as it smacks down to its target!

They should clean up those extra lead shavings inside the tin & make it standard to have it on 200 or 250 cts. in a tin!

These pellets are great for hunting medium game as it has the weight & shape to be effective on game!!!
