Skenco Ultrashock, .25, .25 Reviews

DEEP hollow point

Bought them to try in my FX Royale 500. Did NOT work well at all. This is a gun that gives me hole in hole performance @ 65 yards with JSB pellets but wanted more energy transfer when hunting. Not for my Royale but might work well in another. Will try them next in my BT65.

I love these pellets they are the most destructive brain smashing blood letting pellets I've ever used...very accurate. I've used them in every calibre that i have in my AF Condor they smash thing's even in .177 cal. I took a tree squirrel off a telephone pole @ 35 yards (head shot) this was with the 12" barrel. It sprayed blood everywhere. that's what I mean when I say brain smashing. I also took another one out and part of the pellet was in pieces; neck shot. I now have an FX Impact the only thing is they sometime's snag while feeding in the mag. mostly at the end of the magazine that is the only negative and sometimes they do have flyers but these are very deep HP's and they are 90-95% on target.

Try to get them to feed better in mag's they have trouble at the end of the mag's feeding maybe it's the magazine that needs a stronger spring???

They work best for single shot slug guns... but they do feed sometimes you have to double tap hit on the mag feed at least with the FX Impact mag's.

Good pellets

These pellets are accurate in my marauder. I have shot only s few but think they will work well on small game. I like the long profile and deep hollow point cavity.

Make them less expensive.

These shot at 25 yards in my marauder almost same poi as Benjamin domed pellet. Dont be afraid to give them a try.

Well priced. Excellent hunting pellet.. Well fitting & very consistent sizes.

Should come in a 500ct

Deep hollow point works perfectly with extreme expansion into target.

The price was low. I like the containers with the foam padding........but!

These pellets shot terrible out of my Benji Trail 725xl and Gamo Big Cat 25. Horrible extreme spread as much as 150 fps. Did not fit the barrels very well of either rifle. Accuracy was non existent!

Some folks might be able to use in their rifles but not I. I might make fishing sinkers out of some of them.

The price. And packaged well.

Not a good pellet for my Benji Trail XL725. Due to size irregularities the fps on chrony were all over the place. From 380 to 660 fps. The H-N pellets I tried fit snug and both types avg over 750fps.

I will try the rest of these pellets out of my Gamo Big Cat 25 and will update my findings.

Consistent shape and size. Expand nicely. Often, more so than not, explode on impact! At 920fps, these things have incredible energy transfer. Shooting 1 gallon water jugs at 40-50 yards they hit hard and accurately. They explode, not passing through the back side of the jug.

Nothing. Price per tin cart is a super bargin.

Clean and lube them.

I love this pistol great and ammo its a hole maker

its not back yard friendly thats for sure neigbor came out to see what was the bang about but other than that great pistol ammo make sure that there some backing to stop pellet its a good one

buy it great all of these texans will be on my gun racks one at atime and ammo holow points are good for hole making

I really like these ultrashock pellets. Devastating hunting round in a gun that will shoot them. They hit small game hard at 600-800fps- harder than a crow mag, though arguably a bit less accurately beyond 25yds. At 1000fps they expand fully and should like a punch to chest on impact.

300 count box

Not every gun loves them. I have an Octane .17, np .22, and a marauder .25 that shoot them accurately out to 30-40yds (3/4" +/-). They are my go-to round for hunting squirrels. I prefer them to polymags or crow magnums.

Shoots ok in my M-Rod not in my Airforce escape ss

Would put a ring toward the front of pellet

Nothing

Skenco quality. Perfect fit. Deadly accurate out to 30yrds or so for me, maybe further but i havent tried. Indoor at 17yrds leaves one jagged hole. Working w/ a Hat 155 Vortex .25. Skenco products work great for me.

Cro-Mags, Rabbit Mags. This oughtta be the Squirrel Mag. In .25 w/ a Hat 155 Vortex it knocks Squirrels off the tree. In .22 w/ Hat 150 Spring it can create a .30 exit hole In said Squirrel. Either caliber just as dead. These pellets fly fast in both .22 & .25. All 3 of my "Turkish" magnums like Skenco products.

Decent cost for a decent pellet.

For the money, nothing.

Use a pellet seater when loading.

They have a deep hollowpoint and nice lead. In tests I have conducted they deform very nice upon impact and leave what appears all of their energy there.

Have the manufacturer fine tune this design.

This is not a deep driving pellet. In my Benjamin NPXL2 the crony showed an average of 654fps with a spread of 19.26 and a standard deviation of 7.21. However, the design leaves a little to be desired as these seem to be very particular as to barrel design. Also when chroney'd the fit of the pellet was very inconsistent. Some were nice others barely held in place. I tried them in my Hatsan 1000 and some of them fell through the barrel. If your gun likes these consider yourself fortunate. As for me I will stay away from what could have been a great pellet until tighter quality control and a better diabolo designed shirt shows up.

Deep hollow point.

Nothing.

Poor accuracy at any distance.

grouped very well

just a larger package and adjust price accordingly

Deepest Hollowpoint I've ever seen. They come apart in water filled milk jugs out to 25yds, from my Marauder at maximum power.

They seem to be extremely unstable. They will group well enough for Nutria or Marmots to 25yds, but they keyhole severely.

I have no doubt that these transmit their energy almost instantly. I would imagine that polymags stop almost as quickly. I haven't tried polymags in .25 yet, but I've used them in .177, .20, and .22, for longer ranges they are probably a better bet than these.

I would again purchase these pellets they are very accurate shoot @ 65yrds keeping 1 inch groups in my Airforce Condor I use a leupold rangefinder so I know it's accurate my condor had an free open barrel 24" LWB.. Very lowed but very accurate my Condor adores these pellets it seems to like heavier pellets.

Not one thing these will drop any small game up to 75-80 yrs..

Pellets seem pretty clean without any shavings or flashing seams. Only 75 per container but still priced fairly for only $3.99. After sorting they were pretty accurate at 15 yards.

About 15 percent out of a 75 count container were extremely undersized. So much that I had a few fall all through the barrel and hit the floor. This was with a Hatsan 1000X.

After a friend and I sorted the pellets with a micrometer we ended up pitching about 12 to 15 pellets out of each container in the garbage.So really you only get about 60 GOOD pellets out of each 75 count tin.

Good Pellet for the money

More quantity per tin.

If your looking for a cheap pellet to hunt with, these are your ticket. They have a nice hollow point to them and I bought 300 of these and not one of them had a bent skirt. I would say for the money its hard to beat these pellets. They are pretty accurate also not as accurate as polymag or exact king, but they are putting about a 1 inch group at 25 yards with my hatsan 125. I had 2 fliers out of 150 of these this weekend.
