I have a RWS 350 magnum combo .22 and this pellet is one of the heaviest I can find. It is accurate for short distances (20 yards) then falls off. It hits hard and makes a twack that other pellets don't. By putting a little petroleum jelly in the skirt - and I mean LITTLE. I can increase the power and the speed of the pellet to blow through 1 inch wood at 20 yards. I can hit a target at 50 yards pretty hard but the patern is not tight. For a heavy pellet this one works fine if your gun has the power. They are a fine choice for large critters at short distances because it will hit hard and penetrate. Not a good all around pellet for plinking, targets and small game.
Things I would have changed:The dome should be smoother which would help it's aerodynamics.
What others should know:Dome pellets are good all around, they are more accurate at longer distances than wadcutter or point. The heavier pellet is less influenced by wind. Heavy pellets don't fly as far but that is not a problem 20 yards and under. Set your scope for 20 yards if your gun can do 800 to 1000 fps for greatest overall accuracy. This means your cross hairs will hit anything from 18 to 30 yards. After that the drop depends on the weight of the pellet. Heavy pellets are for bigger game at short distances. These pellets are to big for squirls, birds and anything under 20 pounds. If you were too far away these would injure but not kill - not good. It seems the RWS 350 magnum likes the RWS 14 grain pellets best but these 21 grain have their place in the total equation.

These pellets do not work well with the Walther Talon Magnum, or the Benjamin Discovery. The Crosman Ultra Magnum worked very well with both rifles. The Crosman Hollow points gave slightly better groups and the JSB match JH 18.13gr the best (Walther Talon). The best I found for the Discovery has been the JSB Jumbo Express Diabolo 14.35gr. In fourth place and almost as bad as these Kodiaks were the RWS Superdome 14.5gr. My targets are set at 35 and 50 yards. I used a bench rest and the iron sights on the Walther Talon Magnum and a 4-16x44 scope on the Benjamin Discovery. So, maybe better results can be had at close range with these pellets, 10 yards or so, but I have not tested nor plan to do any shooting at such a close range.
Things I would have changed:Not to have selected these as a free 4th tin to try out.
What others should know:These fit very well in both rifles. Maybe they will work well in yours. But I do not recommend wasting your money on these if you own either of the two rifles mentioned.

Tried every pellet for my crossman 22 nitro vantage looks for accuracy. Did some serious target testing and comparison. It is surprising how much difference the type of pellet makes. The fun shoots at 960 fps and was much more accurate with 21 grain than 14. For my gun, the Kodak did better than the barracuda match and the rest of them not as well. Your gun may do better with another pellet. It is worth the time to do some serious testing of many pellets in your gun.
Things I would have changed:Nothing. Consistant shape. Well formed and seem lubricated.
What others should know:Find the weight and pellet best for your gun.

Registered 810 fps hi low of 780 & an avg. of 797 e.s. 30 & s.d. was10, I was expecting higher readings of about 890! but Im' satisfied with accuracy at 26 yds! Very good pellets!!
Things I would have changed:Wish more about 350 or 400 ct. in tins!

I shoot these through a Hatsan Gladius and Hatsan guns are very good about being able to shoot most pellets well. This pellet is no exception. Some can say they can hit a golf ball 100 yards. I can say that I can hit a golf ball AT 100 yards. These pellets can do that with the right gun/scope combination. I got these pretty cheap at the Pyramid Air shoot out down in Ohio. They were 5 bucks for a bent tin. Tried them out on my range. I have a golf ball that has a hole in it and a string. I hung it off of a branch on a tree and shot at it. Try hitting a swinging golf ball at 100 yards. I can do it fairly often. Nothing like a moving target! With these pellets, a pretty good swack you can hear. I also shoot the JSB Match Jumbo 18.13 grain pellets. A little less violent when I hit that golf ball but still accurate. I would put these Beemans right up there with the JSB Junbos. Of course, your mileage may vary.
Things I would have changed:Nothing. I am not a pellet engineer.
What others should know:Shooting these out of a .22 Gladius Long. Your gun may not like these. Mine did. The only way to tell if your gun will shoot these well is to shoot them to see.

I actually bought these from Amazon, as I was not budgeted this month for my bigger ticket pellet purchase from PA (sorry, guys, my order will more than make up for my lapse in loyality), but thought it would put in a short review, as I am a big time airgunner, and have shot dozens of different types of pellets. So, here goes... Great energy down range. At the muzzle, these will deliver in your Mrod the most energy of any other pellet , in the low 800s, or right at 31 fpe, if you own a Gen 2. Downrange, at twenty-five yards, I measured the energy, passing by the chrony at 733 fps, to be right at about 25 fpe! That is more than what an Octane or an RWS 350 generate, respectively! Jaw-dropping accuracy, provided you have a good barrel. I was hitting apples, dead center, from over fifty yards, with devastating results. Squirrels out to fifty yards have no chance, head or chest shot.
Things I would have changed:Quantity! But then, these are, at least in my book, premium hunting pellets. It is as if these pellets were made for the .22 Mrod. As for other rifles, I can also say that my Octane shoots these extremely consistently, and hence accurately, generating a bit less muzzle energy than the rifles potential 24 fpe. Still, energy at twenty-five yards was still a respectable, squirrel thumping 16.5 fpe (a lose of 2.5 fpe from point of muzzle).
What others should know:In short, BUY THIS PELLET, especially if you own a .22 Mrod. My own Mrod is shooting these at a consistency and energy that no other pellet in my Mrod has even gotten close to, except for maybe the CPUM, 14.3, delivering nearly three fpe less than these bears of a pellet; "Kodiak" is right. If you do not grab for these tins as your go=to Mrod (or shorter range Umarex Octane hunting, too ) hunting pellet, where longer range accuracy and energy retention are needed and wanted, I suggest you rethink this!

these pellets shoot very well in my Beeman RS sportsman , and Gamo Big Cat at 25 yards they are dead on . very accurate .
Things I would have changed:lower price
What others should know:if you don't think the pellets are shoot straight use open sights , most of the scopes that come with the gun are junk , its worth the price of a good scope to find out the gun is shooting accurately , with the right pellet

Was not that impressed with this pellet. This pellet was part of a large purchase (7 different brands/weights) to determine the best fit for my guns (Browning Leverage & Hatsan 95 Vortex in .22). This pellet was all over the place at 20 yards - had numerous flyers - groupings were no better than 4 inches.

These are "twins" of the H&N Baracuda Match. Only we do not have a choice among various "nominal sizes" as we do with the Baracuda Match. Oh, well, c'est la vie. I have no pellet gage to establish a size distribution, but these pellets "fit" the chamber of my D350 easily (no pellet seater needed) and consistently. The weight distribution (from the 1 tin I bought at Pyramyd) has an average of 21.5 +/- 0.1 grains. In terms of performance, these were just like the Baracuda Match. With iron sights, at 10 meters, sitting (in my chair), the median radius in a 25-shot trial was 0.233 inches. Not bad at all.
Things I would have changed:Bring them (and their twins from H&N) in 500-pellet tins. And lower the price down to something reasonable!
What others should know:At $40+ per 1000 these are not an easy sell. There are equally good (and much cheaper) choices in the 18 grain range... Unless you shoot high-power PCP, or need the heft of these pellets for hunting, I cannot recommend the Kodiaks. For target shooting, maybe. But then again, the H&Ns are a bit more consistent in size and weight and are few $ cheaper...

Mor accurate than Gamo pellets out of my Gamo - "Springer" G2 Whisper. Better penetration than the TN-22 by Gamo. The Beemans have a slightly thicker skirt which I would think would inhibit penetration but testing done... I'll take the Beeman's despite a slightly lesser weight.
Things I would have changed:superficial... but not a screw on cap to the pellet tin, otherwise I give em 5!
What others should know:10 yards, penetrate nearly through 3/8 waferboard... 42 yards, 1" group! 143 yards (GPS'd), 5 gallon tin pail can be consistently whacked with a bit of hold over!

This is the best ammo for my Beeman Ram Gas .22. Accuracy is deadly at mid range distance shooting.
Things I would have changed:None.
What others should know:Make this pellet be your standard ammo. Don't expect accuracy on long distance shooting due to its weight. This is my favorite to carry around all the time.

I like the heavier weight because it will retain it's energy down range better than a lighter pellet.
Things I would have changed:Nothing.
What others should know:Should be a good pellet for taking rabbits and squirrels for some good eating. Will definitely dispatch any of the nuisance critters that invade our vegetable patch and bird feeders as well.

meh... I have an RWS 350 Mag in .22, and I tried several pellets: Beeman Kodiak Extra Heavy H&N Baracuda Match JSB Sampler RWS Hobby RWS Meisterkuguln Standard The best pellet for the RWS 350 Mag in .22 is the H&N Baracuda Match. Perhaps 2nd place might go to the RWS Meisterkuguln Standard, and then everything else is tied with last place
Things I would have changed:Nothing. I'm sure there's some guns out there that love this pellet, but not the RWS 350 Mag in .22
What others should know:Yeah, stock up on H&N Baracuda Match, and you'll be more than happy.
