Page 2 - Benjamin .25 Cal, .25 Reviews

My Fav Pellet in my Sumatra and Eagle Claw. Actually make more FPE at a 160rd than 33.9g JSB and just as accurate. Quality maybe not as great, as far as sometimes theys 5 or so that have dented skirts and a few lead flakes in the tin. I dump them out on a paper towel and rollem around a bit to get the flakes off and they fine, not much flake anyhow. They go Super Sonic and and still stay on point at long range when they drop to Sub Sonic. Hardest lead compound ive seen, they penetrate like no other

B/C of .045 w/ my stuff, still makes 30fpe in Sumatra and 24 fpe in my Eagle Claw at a 160yrd. Both more than the 33.9g JSB. The 33.9g JSB makes more FPE out to about 40-50 yrds. Then the Benji wins out and they just as accurate and the accuracy of both are supreme. The Benjis are much harder than the JSB too and will penetrate like crazy. They basically dont expand on game. But will bust any skull w/ confidence. They weigh consistent and the heads measure .249"-.250" and the skirt .252"-.253". My Sumatra is the older Sam Yang (rumor has it not so good in the newer Sumatras). The Eagle Claw is the newer Seneca line. They cycle perfect in both.They dont work that great in my piston powered Hatsan 135 or 155 past 30 yrds. But up close at 35+fpe they rock on vermin (my rams have been filled above factory). Ive narrowed it down to NSA slugs and Benji domed pellets in my Sumatra and Eagle Claw. No need for nothing else. I tried all the rest

Accurate but the penetration isn't what I expected

Everything

Nothing

No matter what caliber you are shooting any pellet with this name is going to be accurate and smooth if not you're clearly lying

The fact that it is a domed Pellet. Clean. The heaviest pellet that I will use in my .25 caliber Remington VTR25. It was free with the purchase of the VTR-725.

I would not change anything about this 27.8 grain pellet. I wish Crosman/Benjamin would add a 17.0 to 20.0 grain dome or hollow head pellet.

I received this free to be used as the heaviest pellet to be shot in my Remington .25 caliber VTR-725 Breakbarrel. I conducted a 5 shot chronograph test: 607, 592, 595, 596, and 617 fps. Average was 601 fps. This pellet was not actually chosen by me, it was included free. Get a chronograph. Woodys World.

Made in USA

Shoot more accurate out of my Talon SS.

Did not group as well as JSBs. Couldn't make the change.

Screw on lid, The pellets were very shiny. I guess that means they are lubed?

More size uniformity. There were a lot of lead flakes and lead bits in the bottom of the tin, almost enough to make a whole pellet.

I bought a tine of .25 cal pellets. I sorted the pellets with a pellet-gage and found size variance from <6.33mm up to 6.40mm. That's a lot of variance. It is definitely recommended to sort these pellets before using them.

Accurate

Nothing

Work well in Sumatra 2500

Good ammo. Screw top lids. Acceptable quantity per tin...... (more is better, of course)........

Well, I'm not sure just what or where to change. The first tin worked fine, but the second tin refused to allow itself to be opened. Thinking that maybe rust was the culprit, I turned it upside down and filled the threads with penetrating oil. Didn't work. So maybe lid was a bit small? Pried (gently but thoroughly) lid away from body. No luck. After several hours and numerous approaches, I finally snipped the edge of the lid and literally peeled it off the base. Pellets fine, but no evidence of rust or any other reason for this problem. Transferred pellets to two plastic tins. What caused this problem? Still no clue, but maybe worth checking QC at production plant.

Good pellets. Not "match" quality, but quite accurate in my airgun. When I was in college, we practiced next to the air rifle team. They would literally put a pellet through a pellet hole at 50 feet - consistently and repeatedly. These pellets will consistently cut the 10 ring, but not "hole in hole". 25 caliber pellet, 30 caliber hole at 50 feet. With the understanding that each rifle is a law unto it's own, it's quite possible to find a brand and weight of pellet that will reliably harvest squirrels, rabbits, etc. at 75 to 100 yards.
While powder firearms are known to have ammo preferences, I have to say that airguns take that "ammo preference" to a whole new level. Find the pellet that your particular airgun likes, and it will give you "hole in hole" accuracy. If you are like me, and satisfied with practical accuracy, check these out and see if your gun likes them.

Good, heavy pellet with nice stopping power. Shoots decently out of my Benji Trail .25 when its a snug fit... However, when pellets are not snug, they are not as accurate. Didnt get wild many fliers with the loose pellets

Tighter fit for ALL pellets in tin. Id say at LEAST half of the pellets were not a snug fit. There was no skirt deformity, so that was indeed a plus

Try at your own risk, I guess...

Very little. They are shiny.

Clean 'em up before packaging. Might help in the accuracy dept.

Used this pellet previously in a Marauder, quite successfully. Recently acquired an AA S510 and bought a new tin to try in that. Glad I only bought one. Wildly inaccurate-at all power settings. These things are racking up the frequent flier miles quick. I don't remember previous versions being so dirty, and can't help to feel that it contributes to their inaccuracy. Possibly the dies are worn past the point of rehabilitation. I don't know, but considering the abundance of pellets from other manufacturers that group well, I can't see myself purchasing this product again.

So far so good.

Nothing.

Very accurate in my Marauder, decent price

Nothing

Good weight for hunting up to Racoons size.

Nothing

accurate out to 65 yards 1inch to 1 1/2 inch in a Bt65.25 with a good scope.

This review is for mainly my Sumatra 500cc, but I've never seen a rifle they did bad in. Marauders, breakbarrels, , etc. Nothing despises these. I have my Sumatra set on the first green dot down from highest power. I'm charging it to about 220 bar, and getting 6 shots from 1080 down to about 1050 fps, and getting a nice 3/4" group at 51 yards at this velocity! incredible.... I'm pretty sure this is for the most part, the harder lead alloy of the Benjamin's. This keeps the skirt from shredding in the barrel at high velocity, which is mostly what kills accuracy with pellets at these speeds.

Nota.

GREAT pellets

more per tin!

BUY THEM !!

Great pellets !

More per tin!

Buy them !

excellent condition and consistency ( large order and sampled all containers) PA did an AMAZING job packing them for shipping. I will NEVER order pellets again from AMazon after seeing how PA does shipping and handling.

I have used these only in an Armada, but far and away the most accurate and consistent of 6 different brands tried.

I real good pellet accurate and good penetration

Nothing

It is a good pellet

Everything

Nothing

Great pellet for money.
