Page 3 - Beeman Crow Magnum, .177 Reviews

The expansion is excellent. Accuracy is just as good as RWS superdomes in my RWS 34.

A better container suited for the field. Works well at the bench.

Gotta try them.

Very good fit in the breech of my Diana 34P. Consistent dime size shot groups from a bench rest from 10 to 25 yards with a less than 5 mph crosswind. I test with five shot groups.

As addressed by other reviewers I would recommend that the manufacturer use a screw type lid. Germans probably have a contract with the Chinese to provide the storage tins.

I cannot attest to the accuracy of these pellets beyond 25 yards. I'll provide another review after I've tested the pellet from 25 to 50 yards.

How much it helps my cheaps rifles (crosman g1 extreme-heavy rifle+EXTRA RECOIL and my favorito Remington Vantage 1200 light and always accurated ) have try many but this one is the BEST.

No a pallet . MINI HEATSEEKER MISSILE, this thing work try it

Manufacturing consistency.

Not very good for my HPA converted Hammerli 850. These guys wouldn't group well for me at all at any distance.

Good for killing at 40 yards or less but the further your target the less accurate obviously but the drop off is noticably greater than predators. After 30+ yards I don't like these.

Depending on what you are shooting at I like Predators and crossman hunting ammo a lot more. Save your money and buy the crossman hunters or go big and buy Predators.

every thing

nothing

great fore hunting and great fore long range targets shooting

good uniform pellet fairly accurate the only hollow point pellet i use for hunting because it i just about the only pellet that expands in game

threads on lid

these only expand a little bit in game the problem is is that game have fur and bones and other stuff so the dont expand as if you shoot them into soap or balistic whatever but these do a bit

Exceptionally well matched in size and weight, and very clean in appearance (no casting ridges or burrs). Every round fits snug in the breach. Leaves little to no residue on my fingers or in the gun. Grouping is great under 30 yards. The angular head punches pretty clean holes through paper, so next to match pellets, this would be my pick for target shooting and sighting in. Expansion is crazy good... quite often, recovered pellets have doubled in diameter.

The lid, as so many hundreds of other people have mentioned with Beeman pellets. But I transfer them to a carrying pouch or different tin anyway, so it's not really a huge deal.

These can be a little trickier to load than round/pointed/diabolo shaped pellets, especially in low light conditions when you're going primarily by feel. In my experience, the range for best accuracy is limited to just over 30 yards... after that they start to become progressively unstable in flight. Even so, I've had little problem taking out birds as far away as 50 yards. Anything over that and it's a toss-up. These are one of my favorite pellets for my TX200 for hunting, plinking, and target shooting. I've heard other people say the skirts are too soft, but I've never gotten a bad tin yet. This is probably because Pyramyd Air packs them so well for shipment. Take advantage of PA's "buy 3 get one free" deal and you won't find a better price anywhere!

I purchased based on other reviewer's comments and for the purpose of reducing the squirrel population in my yard. I like the hollowpoint design and believe it will be more effective than pointed or flat-nosed pellets. I'm using with a Hammerli Nova airgun, Leapers scope and mounts and achieve .5" groups at 30 yd. Have not taken a pest yet but feel pretty confident that I have the right equipment.

Nothing

For shooting pests, this pellet would seem to be more effective than other types. The hollowpoint design and the inherent accuracy are what I was looking for.

They are some Hard hitting. pellets are nice and clean like most Beeman pellets. They feel like there lube with some kind of oil coating. This pellet will always have a place with my guns, It's one of the hardest hitting pellets in its weight class, that I've used to date. But not much good after 50 yards unless there is little or no wind.

Change the Design, so the wind does effect the flight so much. lower the price About $2.00 Per 500 because its not much good for long shots.

I Rated it a 4 star on Overall rating, because it's not very good after 50 yards because of its Shape. Great groups hard hitting but wind does seem to effect flight more than other pellets in its class. I'll always use this Pellet for short shots under 50 yards, Just love the hitting power.

Looks like a good design, potential for great expansion with a powerful enough airgun, good finish quality and consistency.

Offer these in several diameters, the standard diameter is too large for my airguns.

I have had poor accuracy with this pellet, probably due to the very tight fit in my HW95s bore (also tight in my other airguns, but they are low velocity target guns), I resized some in my Beeman pel-sizer with the smallest die, this seemed to help a bit, but the head of the "crow" is still a tight fit and needs to be seated with a tool or careful finger pressure to prevent protruding skirts from being deformed by the powerplant face. By "poor accuracy" I mean 2"-3" offhand groups at 20 yards and occasional fliers even farther off than that...with most other pellets I am under 1" at that range and the ones that go well wide are because I pulled the shot, not at random like with the crow mags. I can't tell you what the impact from this pellet is like since I have yet to hit a starling with one.....with JSB domed pellets under similar conditions I have about a 33% hit rate and 100% first shot kill ratio so far, guess I'll stick with them.

Everything! The smashing power, the accuracy, the aggressive appearance, the expansion...

Nothing.

These are an awesome buy! Get these! I shot a Mourning Dove with one of these pellets with my Daisy Powerline 1000, and the dove simply dropped to the ground with the heart shot! I love these pellets!

these pellets deliver awesome down range performance. the hit the wood that i shoot at really hard out of my ruger airhawk. they mash and expand extremmly well.

a lower price

these pellets are pretty accurate

They hit hard and my game doesn't move much afterward. I use a RWS 350 Magnum. Accuracy, sub 1" groups at 15 yards from a kneeling position, that's as good as I can aim.

I pre-sort my hunting pellets for duds to ensure an ethical kill. I found a lot of deformed and damaged skirts in the two tins that I purchased.

I wish they made a "Match" version of this pellet with the same quality control as the "Kodiak Match". In the end I don't use these for plinking, so my yield of good pellets isn't a problem.

Very consistent and clean pellet !! Will not leave a lot of dirty lead on your fingers when you are shooting all day !! I had trouble with other pellets fitting loose in my Air Hawk so I tried these because the diameter is a little wider than most pellets. All pellets fit snug and I have noticed an increase in my accuracy at twenty yards because of it !!

Lower the price a little bit because I can buy a brick of .22 ammo for 500 of these pellets !!

Very good pellet for 20 yard shooting and the expansion on small game is outstanding !!

Consistent shape. A very clean pellet.

It's a little wide for the breach of my break-barrel. Hard to put in.

If it has a hard time fitting, it might not be the pellet made for your rifle. You might not get the accuracy you want.

I bought a very nice Beeman and have been struggling to get good groups for two years until I found your website and went with the past comments on the Crow mags. I went from lucky to hit the target to a 6 shot group at 40 yds with 4 holes touching each other and the other two shots less than a half inch out. I will lose a little speed for accuracy anyday! Many Thanks Pyramid Air!!

Lid is a little bit of a design that could be better, but buy the 500 tin and transfer into a pocket size container...problem solved

That European Starlings and english sparrows suck!

Seem to be a great pellet.

These are effective against squirrels. No exploding frags I was hoping for, but they get the job done. I have noticed that the pellet usually stops in the squirrel with out passing through. Whether this is more humane (lethal) than going all the way through, I haven't decided.

I noticed a curious thing at the range. Crow-magnums (8.8grains) were shooting 4-5 inches lower at 25 yards than eunjins (16.1grains) through my Whisper. I guess the only explaination is aerodynamics, right? Since they have so much air friction I am wondering if they would start to drop precipitously at longer ranges.

Very accurate and a hard hit!!! I had to go out and get a crow with these and it tok it down no problem.

Make it available in a heaveir size. The lid comes off easy but I just put a tape tie on it so its fine.

Good buy, nice and accurate, and its just a good overall pellet

best expanding pellet out there. dead accurate within 30yds or so before the huge drop. great knock down power if hitting in the right spot.

i think maybe a bit heavier would kill more.

if your going for a chest shot, make sure it's a kill shot (heart) as the expansion of this pellet is so good it some times doesn't kill, which i find inhumane. great pellet for head shots as well.
