Page 3 - Gamo .177 Pellet Reviews

Variety, Consistency, Velocity, and Accuracy

Instead of puttion two different pointed pellets in there, Gamo should make a decent hollow point and stick that in there, then you have all categories covered.

Out of my Gamo Big Cat the Match pellets had extreme accuracy and a consistant 1'' group at 30 yards. The Hunter I use for well, hunting; it does fantastic at a one hit kill even out of the gaurentee kill zone, also, it is nice and accurate. The Master point I got in a 4'' group at 30 yards and the Magnum I could shoot two in one spot and the next five would be all over the target...like a 6''group minimum.

Good variety in shape. Good accuracy.

It's all good.

Point of impact seems to be the same for all types.

I like the fact you can try several styles of ammo without breaking the bank. The match was the most accurate by far (in my Big Cat). The hunter was OK as far as accuracy. The Magnums were flying all over the target. I always zero in at about 30-35 yards....a good average distance.

Not much...

many have advised trying different pellets in your gun. That is solid advice. Some guns do not like some pellets. This I have found.

nice variety, highly effective pellets that cover almost all situations that occur

not a thing

I liked that you got a ton of pellets and a good variety. The hunters and the match pellets were dead accurate in my Gamo Whisper with devastating force. The match pellets were also accurate but i wouldnt want to use them for anything accept shooting targets hunting with them is usuless. The magnums were just useless. So innaccurate so unneccesary i wish they gave you a different type of pellet instead of these. these were so innacurate i took a few and melted them down for fun. Terrible pellets.

I would have made the Magnums not in the package and put in some other form of pellet. Also in my master points and hunters a few were all malformed in the tins. and the master points were a rough fit in the barrel i really had to force them in unlike the others.

All of them are pretty good. But again repeating myself the magnums were bad.

Great way to try different pellet styles in my airgun

Nothing

Good value with mutiple uses

Gamo won me over with this one! The price for 1000 pellets is great. All pellets fit nice and snug in my Big Cat.

Uh...hm...nothing I guess, although some had a bit of extra led dangling on the skirt, no big deal though. Oh, would be nice if they took out the master points (basically the same thing as magnums, a bit weaken in my opinion) and threw in a tin of 250 tomahawks.

These pellets are perfect for testing which pellet works best in your rifle. You've got four different shapes (Magnum being my favorite), so it wont be too hard to decide which you like. It'd be great if more companies made sample packs like these.

Great price for a very good selection of pellets.Good choice for a new gun owner.Bought these and the RWS Hobby wc, a couple of Beeman pellets,and Crosman Premier wadcutters to get me started with my new Crosman 1077 Combo.The best pellets in my gun turned out to be the Crosman Premiers,the Gamo Master Points, and Gamo Match wadcutters-two from this selection!!

Found a few pellets that were distorted in the tins.

This is a fine starting point for an experimenter with a new airgun like me.I'm glad I bought these, and will now be buying more of the Gamo Match and Gamo Master Points.

It's a sampler pack, so obviously I like to test out variety type of pellets before buying the one I like. Great way to have some other type of pellets beside the main one just in case.

Increase the quantity of sampler pack to production size pack.

Shoot great, and great packing from Pyramydair. Almost all the pellets are in perfect shape when received.

Everything

Drop the hunter pellet and get magnums instead.

Great pellets, very uniform, well built, NOT MADE IN CHINA although it contains lead like everything else coming from China, and works well in Gamo air rifles, I have not shot them out of any other brand gun so I don't know how they perform in them.

A great value for the money.. The option to try different types of pellets without blowing your money on large quantities that don't work (as i did).. Accurate as advertised

There isn't very much that i would change other than the fact that in my can of Magnums (the ones with 2 rings around the tip) had about 25% of the correct pellet inside. The other 75% had the Master Point pellets inside. I am not sure if i got a defective bunch or someone at the factory screwed up. Either way they both are pretty accurate.

I think alot of airgunners should take into consideration their airgun needs before criticizing gamo's pellets. I don't even use a Gamo Airgun but it seems that my airgun (Crosman 2100) likes Gamo's pellets. I have tried Crosman pellets and hits were all over the target... The main thing that you need to consider is if your gun shoots better with lighter or heavier grains. I only have a 755fps gun and it appears that the lighter pellets DONT work for my gun. However, your gun maybe different! So what i would highly recommend other gunners do is go out and try different pellets, different sizes etc before drawing a negative against a companies stock!!! Also you may want to check out your scope if you just purchased it. As i found out the hard way by getting a defective scope. Just a little suggestion.... Be patient and you will find the right pellet... After all we don't cut up on women just because one don't work for us.. do we? :-)

1000 Rounds. Variety.

The quality of these pellets are horrible. They are uniform in the fact that they are round, other than that, there are extra lead peices from the mold and makes them anywhere from 7.5 gr to 8.2 gr in ONE CAN.

Theres no reason you should get these. Crosman pellets in the milk jug are the same price per pellet than these. And much more consistent. I couldn't get a 1" group at 30 feet with these pellets with a custom 1377 carbine and a lothar walther match barrel which gets me 1/4" with crosman premiers.

The magnums hit hard and expand well despite being pointed. They are he the highest quality of the bunch. The master point is great for the long range stuff, but they don't fit in pistol mags. The hunter pellets are great for shootin clean holes in soft woods and they are quiet in my silenced Remington 77. The gamo match suck.

Gamo match pellets are very short, poor quality, and next to useless. RWS hobbys are much better. Hunter pellets are useless also. If you want a domed pellet go for the premier magnum. Gamo magnums have little manufacture "wings" which throw off accuracy.

3 years ago, gamo magnums (not pro magnums) were a completely different pellet. They were shorter, wider, lighter, and more accurate.

The seperate tins clearly marked is great for getting an idea of what works well in the gun. The closable screw top tins is also a big plus. Great value if you need to sort out an airgun.

Nothing, nice selection

There was quite a few out of shape skirts, and one or two half molded pellets, but overall a good choice if you are searching for a good pellet choice.

Variety and good price.

Perhaps a bigger selection of pellets. Maybe 50 to 100 of each pellet they manufacture in the future?

I've had good luck with the .22 Magnum points. So I decided to try this sampler for my .177 Powerline Daisy 953. The Hunter and Match are the best I've ever found so far for the money. I have had problems with conistancy with crosman pemier 7.9 domes and gamo Rockets, but a good lot does well. Also, CM premier match and gamo raptors were ok, but raptors are way too expensive for me.

Separate tins for each pellet style.

Nothing

The price and quantity.

Make these things more constistant mine had alot of bent skirts.

Good for plinking but nothing else.

Good price, consistent, and accurate.

Tins of 500.

My Gamo Shadow 1000 loves the Hunters. The Squirrels wont know what hit 'em. They are more accurate than the Match pellets at 40 yards.

Lotsa pellets for the money, and a good way to test 4 different types in all of your guns.

Nothing

Obviously your shooting iron, pellet weight and the distance used comprise how well all pellets will work. Gamos aren't the "BEST" but for short distance plinking, this 4 pack is a great value

they explode and dont ricashay

i have a costom gun and i can fire them at any speed over 1200 fps supersonic they melt even at point - blank
