    Things I liked:

    Weighing a 10 BB sample on my Lyman 300 grain 2 x AAA battery electronic scale these came in at 7.5, 7.6, 7.7 grains, doing the same with Avanti's for comparison gave 5.4 and 5.5 grains. At 79 f using my Morph set up in rifle mode they churned through my chrono at 554 fps. Running the numbers shows this is delivering about 20% more energy and going 70 fps slower than the Avanti's. In my Hatsan 250XT TAC-BOSS pistol they chrono'd at 372 fps, 50 fps slower than Avanti's delivering about 15% more energy. Accuracy at 21 feet showed no difference. Under a 15 x power Ruper lens they look nice and smooth about like the Avanti's. Measuring them with digital calipers gave sizes of .169, .170, .171, I didn't expect them to be as accurate as the Avanti's in the test guns but they were about the same in the pistol and even more accurate in the rifle. They are nice, shiny, clean and feel oddly extra slippery. Over all they are well made. I am happy with them.

    Things I would have changed:

    Naturally I'd like the price to be lower. Be sure to take advantage of the order four and pay for three offer that PYRAMYD AIR has on ammo. On a side note shooting into 79 f room temperature bars of Neutrogena facial soap still in the plastic wrappers gave one third more penetration with the rifle and 50% more with the pistol. The pistol making about half inch penetration and the rifle completely through one bar to just under the surface of the one backing up tight next to it. The bars were backed up against a large cardboard box rather than free standing as they are so light and shot through their broadside. I didn't conduct any hard surface testing that these are designed for because I was shooting indoors and didn't have a safe place to do so.

    What others should know:

    The tins come well protected in PYRAMYD's famous foam packing system but the design of the tins leaves much to be desired. They are actually a nuisance to open. The tins have a seamless plastic banding around the seam of the lid with the bottom that isn't an easy peel off like some others have and there are actually three equally spaced indentations on the edges of the lids that secure them to a grove running around the bottom, that with the fact that the tins measure 0.6" in thickness giving no finger grip plus the BB's filled to the rim of the bottom this makes opening them surgery. I learned to carefully use a small screwdriver to work the lid off and immediately transfer them to a larger Crosman screw on lid tin that I had. I found the tins nicely made but very poorly designed at least from a user's point of view. Just something you have to overcome it seems. Be careful opening them, picking up 500 slippery BB's out of a rug is no fun.
