Page 9 - Benjamin Discovery .22, .22 Reviews

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!

Very accurate and consistant. Clean

very similiar to chp

I got a tin of these with my Katana. I wasn't impressed at first glance as virtually every pelet had lead particles and shavings in the base cavity. Shooting them was something else----virtually 1 hole groups every time (at only 10 meters--the snow is flying). They are very nearly equivalent to Premier domes.

Clean them up!

These are identical to Premier hollow points and I have seen some people claim they are the same pellet, but my rifle thinks otherwise. I get one hole groups with the Benjamins, and I get a free flier with ever 5 Premier hollow points.

These are good pellets. Good expansion on impact. Im not an expert shot, improving daily, but i can always find my shot, so havent had any crazy pellets taking off for the wild blue yonder.

I wouldnt recommend any changes. These are some dirty pellets though, lots of lead dust. Dont lick your fingers!

The pellets were very ubiform and clean. The grouped well in the Crossman air rifle I purchased.

A little cheaper price would be very nice. Maybe a volume discount for buying 5 times or more.

I also fired some old Daisy pellets which I have had for about 15 years. There was little comparison between the Benjamin and the Daisy. The Daisy were very dry and not all were consistent in shape. (The Daisy pellets were in an unopened container). The Benjamine pellets performed well and will dispatch a squirrel cleanly with a head or shoulder shot.

Pretty accurate pellets. Looks the same as a Crosman Premier Hollowpoint but I find the quality a bit more consistant. Not as dirty as the Premiers. Consistant groupings with less strays than the Premiers.

bring the price down to the same as the Crosman Premiers. Seems to be the same pellet, maybe it is and I got a good can. I've gotten good cans with the Crosmans but inconsistant cans as well.

good quality pellet and shoots well like the premier Crosmans in the cardboard box. Consistant skirts with less bent ones.

These pellets are clean, if you know what I mean. They do not show any sign of oxidation, and there is no extraneous material left over from casting. This alone puts these pellets in the 'better' class. I haven't yet shot enough of these (came with a new gun) to brag about accuracy, but so far, very good. Very good, Benjamin.

Nothing.

Pellets should be an asset to your gun, rather than affecting it negatively. Clean pellets that hold the correct shape are a plus for any gun. Some pellets are better with certain guns, and when you can count on these basics, then your comparison is more easily done.

nothing

everything the pellets are incosistent in skirt size and no two pellets will shoot the same

dont buy these for the npss or the benjamin trail np xl

Hits hard. good deal for a 500 ct. hollowpoint.

These pellets are not as accurate(could be better) as the RWS Hobby Wadcutters. At 30ft. pellets were going all over the target. I had my 6yr. old son try it with the RWS wadcutters on my (Xisico XS28M), his first 2 shots were Bullseye!

I would recommend the RWS wadcutters 11.9 grains. This pellet is really accurate! I shot a squirrel in a tree at about 35-40ft. with about a 1 inch visibility through the branches and leaves. That squirrel was done!

5 shot groups at 25 yards yield .375" - .625" CTC accuracy in my brand new Weihrauch HW50s. Great bargain @ $9.50 for 500 pellets.

Pellets are pretty dirty with lube/dust? which makes my fingertips turn a smudgy dark gray after handling only 10 or so. Consistency between pellets could be improved.

As a previous reviewer mentioned, consistency isn't that great and found that there were 3 different sizes. I didn't separate them as the previous reviewer did, but did notice that the fit in my HW50s' breach went from not too tight but just right, to a bit looser but still requiring slight pressure to insert fully into the breach, to loose where the pellet would drop right into the breach without applying any pressure. Even though there was size inconsistency, it didn't seem to affect accuracy. I'm sure this may translate into flyers and bigger groups past 35yds, but for my intended usage 20-35yds, they seem to be sufficient. My original intent for purchasing these was to use a cheaper pellet to break in my HW50s. The fact that it shoots pretty well is a bonus.

they have hard impact down range, if you can hit the target.poor quality control.There was like three different sizes in my tin.large,medium,and small.the small ones actually fell out. of the barrel when I snapped it shut.The grouping on these were horrible.Maybe 1 out 7 actually went where they were supposed to go,the others just flew all over the place.You can't even zero your rifle in with these they were that bad.I I bought crosman hollow points and they were dead on!

quality control! it seemed like there was 3 different sizes

I used these pellets with a walther talon and a crosman quest 800x,both had horrible results.

Just like the Crosman Premier Pellets in size and weight

I have a RWS 350 Magnum in 22 caliber. It loves the Crosman Premiers in 14.3 grain hollow point. Beings the Benjamin pellets are made by Crosman I thought they would be the same but these two tins were not. There was no consistency in sizing with the two tins I received. Some were tight, some were loose and some were perfect. I found my self sorting pellets into three piles. I understand that things sometimes change from batch to batch, that's why when I find pellets of a certain brand that shoot good I buy a bunch of that lot for consistency. That was not the case with the Benjamin pellets this time. I have never had such a size discrepancy with the Crosmans. Maybe I have been lucky.

Like the Crosman pellets the Benjamin pellet are real dirty and need to be cleaned. I say this because my 350 has a choked rifled barrel and all the little lead partials tend to lead the barrel right where it chokes down. I find my self running patches through the barrel a lot so the gun will stay accurate. Mind you, this is my gun and my findings. I also ordered 2 tins of the JSB Exact Jumbo Express pellets in 14.3 grain. They were awesome! They shot just like the Premiers but a little faster. They were clean and very consistent in size .

These things are light, super fast and laser accurate! Still, they are LETHAL! Large pigeons fold up and die immediately, one shot one kill.

Nothing...perfect!

Every pellet in the tin is straight and round, no bent skirts.

This pellet knocks them down everytime, i don't think i will be changing anytime soon since i bought 2000 of them!

Rarley do i find a pellet with a deformed skirt, about 2 %.

if you want to knock them dead, try these!

Clean and shiny, no deformed skirts, hard-hitting, accurate, plenty per can.

Nada!

These have got to be the most excellent pellets you can get short of top-end match pellets. Every one of them is identical, every skirt is perfectly round, they are clean and accurate and hit hard. []

This pellet will be my pellet of choice from now on.

Outstanding accuracy, penetration and terminal performance. Out of my Marauder, after sighting in with a target stapled to a piece of 3/4 inch plywood I walked up and found all shots totally penetrated the wood. Tried it out next for group on my pellet trap and shot a nice 5 shot one hole group at 20 yards. I removed the target and found a 3/8 inch hole through the back of the trap. I've since purchased the heavy duty trap!

Nothing. .....In wet news paper the pellets actually make a perfect mushroom. With the small dimple they call a hollow point, I couldn't believe it. Pellet skirt and weight consistency is excellent especially at the price.

These are lead pellets and users should bring moist towelets after handling.

size is very consistent, each one pushes into the breech of my benjamin trail np xl with the same amount of pressure. screw on lid. i think most of the bent skirts i found were from me digging in the tin

offer me a sponsorship so i can get em free for life

at the range today i got about a half inch group from 50 yards with the benjamin trail np xl. used this gun/pellet combo and got a squirrel the other day while helping a friend eradicate his farm land, hit it on the side of the body just below the vitals from about 30-40 yards out and the pellet went right through, little guy looked like he couldn't tell what hit him

Very accurate, and hard hitting. Priced right. My old Crosman 101's, and 140's really like these.

Padding in the tin would be nice.

They look like the crosman premiers you get in the tins, but shape and size are consistent with these.

the fit. they fit perfectly. all good quality and none that are deformed or off size.

they are a little dirty but not to bad

they fit perfect in my new Beeman RS2 they are the most accurate pellets that ive ever shot. i can get groups of 1/2 inch at 50 yards and can hit shotgun shells at 35 YARDS if i can hold the gun steady.

Great pellet for the Benjamin Katana. The pellet groups well at 30-40-yards.

the pellet could be a little cleaner.

This pellet seemed to work as well as the Crosman Premiers.
