Seneca .22 Cal, .22 Reviews

These pellets shot accurately in my Gamo Swarm Magnum, but I had to single load as they were a bit long to fit in the Gen3i 10 shot magazine. Only issue I had.

Maybe shorten the pellet a bit.

A good, heavy, hard-hitting pellet. I got excellent grouping with these out of my Hatsan Vectis using iron sights.

The tin that Seneca pellets come in. Takes some work to remove the lid. But at least it's secure! Better than a tin that the lid just falls right off of. A screw on lid would be much better. It would also be nice to have larger packs available, like 200 or 250 per tin. But keep the smaller tins available... better to pay $8 for 110 and find out you don't like them, than to pay $20 for 250, and find out you don't like them. And with buy 3, get one free, I guess the small tins aren't all that bad.

These pellets are quite long. They probably won't fit in any magazine, so make sure you have a single shot tray.

Very heavy pellet when pushed fast

The sizeing a bit over size

Yes I found on line pellet sizers got me two one in 4.5 and one in 5.5 size two that go in guns much much better

The weight and the design

More per can & Pellets look homemade, but fire just fine!

I have a Hatsan .22 SpeedFire with a 10 Shot speedloader...this loader will only take one of these pellets and will not rotate due to being too long, but it will still load one for a single shot. So overall, I'd still purchase these again!

Works great in my Air Venturi Avenger! Since the bolt probe is off center, (normal for this rifle) it can tend to push pellets in slanted. But this pellet has enough length to go in straight regardless. 2600psi on regulator with 5 turns on hammer, 25/55yrd zero, 1 mil drop at 75yrds@half inch groups. 2 3/4 mil drop at 100@1in group.

More in a can.

I do not know velocity. but chairgun app values manually input to get correct ballistics out to 130yrds are as follows... BC=0.0275, Velocity=1075, Far Zero=55, and I believe using 22lr Drag Law. Workin' good for me.

The weight and shape.

Packaging.

Out of the 200 in the tin, about 14 were usable. The rest were damaged beyond repair.

Nice shape, large head diameter, works very well with Benjamin 392 rifles. With a factory original 392, 10 pumps and this pellet make 465fps and 15.5 ft/lbs. With my Steroid tuned 392 and 10 pumps this pellet made 545fps and 21.30 ft/lbs. not bad for some pump guns.

Nothing

These do not work well in spring guns, however if you have a 392 steroid or regular, these pellets are very accurate, and slide right through unopened quart cans of pumpkin. I have no doubt or questioning in these pellets and there ability to pass through game.

They had a consistent groups.

Both the Seneca .22 Cal, 32.4 Grains, Pointed and Seneca .22 Cal, 28.5 Grains, Domed I had great difficulty in getting them to chamber. 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.

Make sure they chamber in your gun before buying in quantity.

The weight. Accuracy. My Mach 12.5. .22 ..gives .25 cal. Performance at 28 foot pounds! At around 650-660 fps thumps very hard at close range..point-of-impact change negligible at 10 meters. It works well in all my springers down to 17 flbs. Rabbit mags...my usual " elephant medicine. " have company now!

The round head version is supposed to be more accurate. I doubt it. Hollow point it like Crow Magnum???? Big dish up front...or Crow mag to this weight? Humane- er? Lethal. What it cost to fill groove with lube wax? Sell them to me at half - price? Ha ha.

The multi-groove DOES aide velocity. The long skirt obturates well..altogether ..less ' blow-by' i.e. super air-tight fit ..more power...Your sub-17 ftlb springer will NOT make you happy with these. TOO HEAVY! RWS350 MAG. HATSAN 125..class springer can chunk em. Ok.. ( Mach 12.5 superior with heavy pellets due to very heavy tophat.)

Bought to test max weight pellet for 3 springers: Mach 12.5 Beeman 28 ft.lbs Benji Prowler 20 ft lbs. Hatsan Edge spring. All .22. At 10 meters all are effective. Accurate. Penetration in treated 2x6 excellent at 28 ft lbs. At 20 ft lbs... Bunny rabbit lethal for sure. But waste at this price. Reserved for Mach(along with Rabbit mag 2s) as "elephant" ammo! More than accurate for its uses. Pig.raccoon..feral goat.etc. 30 yards or so. Obturate very well at 20 foot pounds and up!

They will never be cheap.

17 foot pound minimum for hunting. The tin ...although undamaged is not opening-friendly.... The tins were packed like nuclear weapons! Thanks PA.

N/A

Make these pellets so they will chamber in the Umerex 22.

Avoid unless you have a rifle

Heavy pellet, no damaged skirts, feeds easy in my Crosman v2 1400 Hard hitter, cleaner than most pellets

N/A

I have not had a chance to do any longer range tests, so I can't say if they are accurate out to 3o+ yards they seem to behave on my short range.

these fly straight keep in mind they are heavier

would like to see a hollowpoint version of these

Very nice! Out of a pcp gun it is just as lethal as any suppressed. 22lr rifle. Much more quiet!

Nothing

Large heavy pellet. Velocities were pretty consistent in my gun.

Minor annoyances, but by my count, I only received 106 pellets, not 110. In addition, a few of those 106 were deformed and were missing their tips. The tin that these came in was also filled with lead particles. Just seems like the quality control is not as high as it should be.

This pellet is large enough that it doesn't fit into my mag. Had to load these individually.

Accurate

Price

I shoot an Air force Condor and have had dead on hits at 75 to 100 yard to take out Beaver,Fox,Rabbits and coyotes.

Extremely consistent in size/shape.

Too expensive, they fit extremely tight. They fit so tight it made my thumbs sore from pushing them in after about 25 rounds. They are consistent though.

Super slow and drop like a rock, your target better be pretty close. No penetration whatsoever, that being said if you could hit a bird or other small game with these, I am sure they would work just fine. Keep in mind, they drop extremely fast.

Very good accuracy and penetration. Very affective on sod poodles out to 100 yards

A few more for the price

If you are shooting a Sumatra 2500 try shooting these at the lowest power. You will still get great penetration and accuracy plus more shots per fill

Very accurate for such a long, heavy pellet.

My Gamo Big Cat grouped these in about 1/2 inch at around 30 yards.

ACCURATE

LENGTH

ACCURATE, HARD HITTING, ONLY FITS MY HATSANS BULLY MAGAZINES, GOTTA HAVE A GUN THAT SHOOTS OVER 1000 FPS OR PELLETS DROP @ AROUND 50-75 YRDS BUT PELLETS HIT HARD AND WILL DROP DEER WITH A 25 EASY
