Page 8 - Benjamin Discovery .22, .22 Reviews

Shoots well in my Crosman All Weather NP .22

The .177 calibre I have difficulty in loading into my Remingtion NPSS.

Inexpensive

Jams in my Marauder more often then I would like. I assume the thin skirt design is to blame.

RWS Superdome is a better choice at a similar weight. More expensive, but more satisfying to use and has not jammed in my Marauder.

500 rounds, hollowpoint, and the right weight for the Stoeger X20.

Nothing

Don't just buy one tin. Once you put your air rifle in your friends and families hands your going to go through them. This way you'll know you'll have enough for yourself.

Good pellet.

fill in the hole, the hollowpoint does nothing in a pellet gun that I can see.

One of the best pellets I've tried. It's accurate with my benjamin discovery, benjamin trail np and airforce talon SS. It is my go to pellet for hunting

Both my Trail and my Titan shoot these well out to about 50 yds. They are the most go to pellet I keep. I like the 500 tins of the pellets vs. 200 or 250 or whatever...

I think they could be a little cheaper...say about 8.00 a tin. QC could be a little better with a few too many fliers...

Even though it is a hollow point it does not expand. It's actually more of a round nose pellet. Shot placement is key.

Product, pricing, delivery

nothing

Best price around. buy 3 one free.

1) Price/value, it is probably one of the most affordable 0.22 pellet in market, 2) it's fairly clean, I have used ~490 out of 500 and never had a dirty hand, and only notice very small amount of lead at the bottom of can, 3) for the most part, it's actually very accurate--I was able to put three of them in the same 1/8'' hole from 12 yards with Marauder, except the flyer--see blow.

The flyer, while shooting from a rest, three of them would hit the same 1/8'' hole, one would hit somewhere 0.5'' apart--how does that happen? Notice that in my not-so-good hand, Crosman Premier (brown box) or H&N FTT/match or JSB never has the same issue, it's only the Discovery will give me 1 flyer out of every ten shots.

Overall a OK pellet, Crosman should have a "Benjamin Marauder" for its Marauder rifle.

Maybe slightly better grouping then cphp 14.3g, shooting 20ft across a garge the groups seem slightly tighter but won't know for sure untill I can get outside and shoot at distance

Bigger hollow point, the cut out appears to be the same as cphp and from squeezing the tails of disco hp's and cphp's the lead appears to be the same hardness

In terms of looks and weight these are the exact same as cphp but cost about 4 bucks per 500ct tin. Local academy only has disco hp's and cphp's in .22 so I thought I would try these.. should have prolly stuck with the cphp's for better pricing.. but it doesn't hurt to try them, your ag might like them more then cphp's

Nice uniform pellets,very well made.

Nothing, love them

very good not only good for PCP, also very good choise for NP airgun

Works excelent! with the Benjamin Marauder

Price

i use .22, nice accuracy, nice impact, no too much expansion, nice pellet for everytihng

Finish and quality control.

The price could come down a bit, as I perceive no discernable difference re., accuracy or jamming between the Discovery and Crosman Premier hollowpoints.

The hollow in the Discovery may be a tad broader and deeper than the Premier's, however, this is strictly an impression gained from visual inspection - I have not measured with an instrument. If true, it may theoretically have more THWACK than the Premier, though I have not yet seen practical demonstration of this property.

it's very quality pellets. It just working great with my discovery.

none

none

On small pests they hit harder than they look like they should. My pickyness is negated by the great price and effectiveness, they reliably hit squirrels at 75ft without question and will knock them out of a tree like they were swatted by the invisible man

Screw on lid is cool. They shoot pretty good and hit hard. Good uniformity too.

Nothing

These pellets shoot decent out of my Diana 34/TO6. Quarter size groups at 25 yards. They're pretty dirty but that doesn't really bother me. That's why they make soap. You're not going to win any competitions with these but for general plinking the price is good.

These pellets are very accurate out of my B28 .22. At 17.5 yards open sights I'm getting quarter sized groups. The consistancy in size is very good. (Snug fit)No bent skirts.

The pellets are quite dirty. You will need to wash them.

If your rifle leans towards a slightly larger pellet like my B28, give the Benjamins a try.

These pellets are a work of art! I have already gone through two tins of these and none were deformed.

The price is a little too steep, but the quality makes up for it.

I highly recommend using these in high power break barrel air rifles. Reason for this being is that they fit very snug in the barrel and thus provide great accuracy. And a helpful tip is to always wash a new tin of pellets to get rid of excess lead and grime.

They shoot very well and consistent.

The cost is alittle to much.

I bought crossmanpremere pellets and they shoot just as good and i bought them at a retail store for 6.95 with no shipping.

The pellets are consistent in size and weight. As a result they are accurate one the break in period is reaached with the rifle. I use a Benjamin Trail .22 and have now fired about 400 pellets. After replacing the trigger with a GRT-III is is holding dime size groups and stacking one onn top of the other consistently. I like the price and bought 2000 pellets to start. The packaging is the best. Shipped in sealed packs with foam and taped. Nothing will damage your pellets in shipping from Pyramyd Air! Will buy again when the need arises.

Nothing. I have heard the pellets are dirty. Well, they are made of lead so your finger tips will get a silver look after a while. I do not clean them first. Use them right out of the tin. Someone told me a guy said he "washes" them first. I don't recommend putting anything down the barrel except the pellets as is. Don't know what soap would do to the barrel after time. They are fine just the way they are. Shoot them and have fun!

The pellets are tighter in the chamber when loaded than say Crosman Pointed Hunting Pellets. This does not effect the accuracy from what I can tell. If you switch between pellets you need to zero the scope again. Stay safe!
