the power of these pellets are astounding out of my benji titan nitro piston .22. iv killed 4 squirrels and 3 rabbits at 30+ yards with head shots and it usually kills them cleanly, but when it doesnt, i just follow up point blank in the head. hopefully il add more to my kill list next hunting season.

i would like these to be a little heavier, but thats not a big deal. also, these do not expand. i have 4 that i retrieved form rabbits that have went threw bone and tissue, and after cleaning them off, they did not expand at all. just a little scratched up from bone.

dont get them mixed up with your .177. my brother accidently mixed up my ammo and i was about to shove a .177 down the barrel or my .22. so make sure you check your pellets before you load up.

These pellets shoot best in my RWS 34

Consistency.

Nothing

Comes in screw top can.

The pellets in the tin were mostly all uniform, only a few damaged skirts found in it. I also liked that the tin had a screw-on lid. This pellet shot ok out of my Benjamin Trail NP All Weather.

The pellets were all very dirty, if you held only about 15-20 pellets your hand would get dirty. Plus some pellets will fit in the barrel tightly and some will go into the barrel really easy. Lastly the pellets don't expand like normal hollowpionts, these ones deform like domed pellets, not much expansion.

You get what you pay for with these pellets but if that is all you need then you will be fine.

Few pellets in the tin were damaged and they had a great price for a 500ct tin. The tin had a screw-on lid which made it easier to open.

The pellet should have been a lot cleaner, your fingers would get dirty after handling only about 20 pellets. The diameter of the pellets isn't very consistant, I would get pellets that would fit in the barrel super easy and some other pellets would be like heck trying to get them in the barrel. They don't expand like you think a hollowpoint should, they mainly stay the same shape after impact.

These pellets are alright in accuracy in the Benjamin Trail NP All Weather, but you get what you pay for in these pellets. Don't think that they will be the best pellets for your guns, save up and buy better pellets.

price,well made,shoot straight in my rifle,uniform size

nothing

no

good quality, grouping and excelent value for money.

make them softer so than hollow point can make mushroom

Awesome plinking pellet due to accuracy and cost per shot. Also makes a great rabbit and pigeon round. Mushrooms nicely upon impact and drops small game very quickly and humanely. Skirts are all nicely shaped and fit very well into the Crosman Nitro Venom .22cal. I also appreciate the fact they come in a screw top tin!

Nothing...good price, good quality, nice tin. What more do you need?

I use these in the Nitro Venom .22 and have taken close to 30 pigeons and 5 rabbits. Accurate at 30-35 yards and below. I would recommend using these as they are cheap and effective and they break the Venom in very well.

Very accurate pellet. Very consistant grouping at 20 yds with my nitro venom .22.

Just a simple labeling of the weight on the tin cans.

Accurate, hard-hitting and shiny pellets! Best deal for your money.

Nothing, it's great.

-My Benjiman 392 and 2289 Backpacker both love this pellet!
-It's a bit shorter than some other pellets. Can also fit a couple more into my pellet pen.

What can I say, I love this pellet! It fits perfectly in my Crosman Nitro Venom Dusk rifle.Deadly accurate with dime size groupings.Great hunting pellet.So far I haven't found any damaged pellets.

Lower the price a little.

I would highly recommend this pellet for hunting squirrels.

cheap and 500 count!

make them more have more consistent head sizes

great for plinking for fun

These pellets have very good consistency of size and shape. They come with a screw top lid.

Nothing.

I purchased these to use in my Benjamin marauder woods walker. They are very accurate and consistent.

good ammo for 10-20 yd shooting and sighting ones' .22 cal rifles

none

nothing that anyone else wouldn't know, price is good

I have found these to be consistent in size, clean and exacting in fit in my Nitro Venom Dusk in .22 Cal. All the skirts have been UNdamaged and little debris in the screw top can (a nice feature as it prevents a "pellet-lanch" that can happen with a non-screw top container).

I have noticed that the hollowpoint hole can often have a rough edge at the lip (not a noticeable problem). The lead formulation makes for a very HARD pellet that limits, if not precludes, expansion at the velocity produced by the Nitro Venom Dusk. That hardness also likely contributes to uniformity in size, so it is likely a tradeoff.

Very consistent shooter as judged from paper target results. They go where they are aimed and have consistent and breech seating.

The hardness and shape has resulted in some "bounce offs" from some well-developed squirrels. I could hear the thump from a delivered hit, which seemed to annoy the target rodent, but did NOT put it down. Switching to some Spitzerpoint and softer lead pellets had the desired rodent elimination effect. Perhaps these would be fatal to softer hide vermin, like marauding rabbits in the garden. Time, and season's change, will bear this out.

Overall, a good general pellet, but I have some reservations about them for pest control with tougher hide vermin.

Inexpensive and readily available.

Fit and shoot well out of my Benjamin XL 1100. Given a choice between these the Domes...I would choose the Domes...They are much more accurate.

The ones that fit tight in my gun (beeman rs2) shoot striaght out to 30yd with 2" to 3" groups. The price is great at $8 you get a descent close range plinking/hunting pellet.

The quality varies from pellet to pellet.

This is not a tac driving pellet, so if accuracy is what you need whould suggest that you try jbs or rsw pellets.

Consistency, cost-effectiveness, works GREAT in my S410.

Not much. The hollow point feature does not seem very effective at lower velocities.

I had been finding the right pellet for my Air Arms S410 bullpup conversion. I tried the H&N Field Target Trophy Green and RWS Meisterkugeln. Both are highly rated, but both did not yield acceptable results.

Out of pure curiosity, I picked up a tin of Crosman Premium Hollow Point at 1/4 of the price (per pellet) of the highly rated pellets. At 10 yards, I was shooting through a single hole. Switched back to the expensive pellets and the grouping opened up again.

I dialed the S410 down to just about 6FPE for target practice purposes. At this setting, the hallow point feature does not seem very effective. There is no observable deformation when I retrieved the pellets from my putty-based pellet trap. I wasn't expecting any deformation to begin with.

Despite the pellet shape, my calculated ballistic coefficient is at least 0.025, which is very decent. Using the same equipment and calculation methods, the H&N FTTG and RWS Meisterkugeln only have BCs around 0.015.

Will this pellet work well in your rifle/pistol? I don't know. I just know that my S410 (older bolt style) likes these less expensive pellets when it is set to about 6FPE. Your mileage may vary, but this pellet is too inexpensive not to give it a try!

Excellent pellet. Would not want to be with-out them when shooting.

Better quality control and inspection if at all possible.

One thing people need to know is that for some reason not every pellet will work in every type of air-gun. In other words, I speaking of the actual diameter of the pellet itself. For some reason these pellets won't fit in a Hatsan 150th, but work in all my other Hatsan rifles. Never force a pellet into the breach of a gun. Just try a different pellet that's all. But they are accurate.

Nice pellets for the price. Seem to be uniformly sized, unlike some other brands I've used.

Noted some raw edging on the bored hole making the domed pellet an hollow point. Just a minor observation.

A pretty hard pellet. I haven't done any expansion testing of them, to date, in my clay block, but I doubt they'll be expanding much. They do hit very hard from my Crosman Nitro Venom.
