Skenco NewBoy Senior, .177 Reviews

The container was good. All the pellets seemed uniform and consistent shiny and healthy .

Well they were way to big for my mach 1 .we are talking WAY too big had to return them .maybe it was a bad batch.

Too big for my gun I mean it could have been a fluke something out of the blue but be warned that they might be too big

This is the best pallets I ever touch

If I can make them heavier that would be the best

Nothing, this is a big headed pellet and I cannot get one to fit in my RWS .177 pellet rifle. Why dont they measure the head size and warn people before they waste their money. They need to invent some pliers or some tool to squeeze the head size down so it will fit in break barrel and spring piston air rifles

Hard Hitter

More consistent finish

Heavy, seem pretty consistent grouping. Decent mushroom. Have several heavy pellets (10+ gr) to evaluate. These are coming in close to the top.

Nothing

Tight fit in my Big Cat 1400 but setting with pellet pen is still doable. No complaints other than low count in the package. But the price is reasonable.

The weight and accuracy.

Nothing

Great buy.

I like the weight of the pellets. I like the design. I like the price.

Make them a little skinnier. Hard to go in Crosman Vantage and Umarex Octane.

I still use these pellets. I found a way around the width issue and they do well.

BANGERS! Heavy duty MAGNUM BANGERS

nothing

They are heavy they do not seem to tumble even thru my high velocity Gamo silent crap. Long range vermin death.

So far everything, These pellets hit with authority,,, Shot from my daisy 880, they can open dime width holes , tearing out flaps on the exit. And shot from my bengimen Trail np xl 1500, they're delivering amazing power. I usually prefer a pointed pellet but these have won me over to the rounded tip. Ive shot through 5 bean cans in a row with them in the first test,, And the size and weight doesnt seem to be effecting accuracy at much at all, as it seems to do with Rabbit Magnums etc. Rabbit magnums are good pellets but its like chucking a rock, when you shoot them, tumbling , no problem with the New Boys though.

Really have nothing to complain about , havent experienced irregularity in shape or difficulty in insertion.

For a 177 caliber round Newboys are potent pellets in the right guns , they're weight does effect range quickly on pumpers but compensations can be made,,, in magnum variety air rifles both break barrel and pcp, id assume you have a winner in these.

Nice looking pellet....Pyramyd Air was great service

Wouldn't buy 3 boxes.... other than that Im not sure... they didn't fly straight...but looked like good design

I shot a few at 15 yds thru my RWS Diana model 34 topped with a Beeman 3X9 by 32 and they were low which is adjustable. But after the few shots I continued and all of a sudden they were shooting 4" to the right and spread 6" vertically not walking up or down but just anywhere. Between those shots I threw out my trusted 7.4 pellets and they were dead on every time? Upon closer examination.... it appeared the 15.8 grn pellets were punching the paper side ways (oblonged holes)... if some one sends me $5.00 I'll ship these to them...

Good looking pellet, seated nicely. Pyramidair.com service was great.

Would have only bought 1 tin... instead of 3. They shoot terrible in my RWS Diana.

First 3 shots were an inch low at 15yds... which I could adjust for. But subsequent shots got WILD... all were 4 inches to the right but a vertical spread of 6 inches up or down. Between those wild shots I would poke out a 4.7 grain and every time they were a bulls eye. I even tried a light lubing of the pellets to no avail. If I knew how to get these to someone else I'd give them way for shipping only. Of course minus the 11 shots taken.

none

size is too big

too big for hats an 25 pistol

Very accurate (up to 45 yards) vs EUNJIN 16.2gr, for my Crosman nitro venom Dusk. Very hard knock down power up yo 40 yards. Very good shape and constant quality. I note the penetration 7/10 because the pellets weight give less velocity. This is the KO vs less penetration. If you want a big knock down power for hunting this is the right pellet.

always more for the price!!!

Many Factors independently of the ammo affect a review of an ammo. You should consider BEFORE YOUR REVIEW, -the type of air rifle (spring piston, gas piston, CO2), -the model, -the power of your air rifle, -the experience of the shooter, -the fine adjustment of the scope (the same temperature that the ammo test, wavering...), -the wind (a wind of 30 MPH perpendicularly of your shot at 100 yard will deviat the shot for 1.5 inch in the wind direction ), -consistency shot after shot of air rifle handling and finaly if this ammo is made for your rifle specifically. You can not say that the ammo is good or not just because you hit or not the target shot after shot....take care before write a review and considers the factors listed above.

Very good and precise built. Very accurate. Heavy stopping power.

more solid tins

Recommended .177 pellet for PCP airhunter.

THe container was good

It was just too heavy for my air rifle but that does not mean it will be too heavy for yours.

The Weight of these beasts 15.8 grains that's heavy in .22 cal let alone .177 and these hit so hard I could hear it hitting its target from 50+ yards away

THE Inconsistency of the pellets it seems like there are two different types of pellets in each tin like half are one weight and the other half of the tin is a different weight i say this because i could pick 3 - 4 pellets out the tin and they group consistently and then i pick some more but the Point of impact changes but i shoot again and it goes back to where I started so forth and so on and its really frustrating not being able to rely on a great hunting pellet to be accurate out in the field.

Buy it for plinking and close range hunting all my groups where terrible beyond 25 yrds out of a benjamin discovery

Big time knockdown factor. Accurate, nice pellet.

Nothing.

The size of these pellets are awesome. The price is good. They are very accurate and they throw a strong punch. Great penetrating power. These pellets destroys its target. I love these pellets and these have become my favorite. Will be acquiring more.

Nothing

These pellets hit hard. They penetrate and keep moving. So make sure there's nothing behind your target otherwise more damage will occur.

Fairly clean, and nicely formed.

Nothing.

The only airgun I own is a Daisy 880 Powerline. According to my CED M2 Chronograph they average 460 fps at 10 pumps. 10 shot groups from an honest 15 yards were right around 1", some a hair more, some a hair less. One 10 shot group actually came out to 7/16", bullet center to bullet center. In penetration testing these pellets couldn't do better than 10.65gr pellets from H&N. The 13gr Big Boy Heavy-Weight pellets out penetrate both these Big Boy Senior 15gr pellets and the 10.65gr pellets from H&N.

Very accurate at 895fps in my Rainstorm. A superb hunting pellet for the .177!

Skirt diameter is much too large and must be sized.

The Evanix metal magazine is a good sizing tool if you don't have a regular sizer. Any other magazine will probably not accept these pellets without damage.
