Page 2 - Gamo Match .177, .177 Reviews

Very economical pellet to use for serious practice. I shoot hundreds per week. I appreciate the screw top cans. Dropping the friction fit cans is a real pain when they spill pellets.

My latest purchase of pellets has been slightly irregular. Closing the bolt of my Avanti 747 has required some additional force. In a couple of instances, considerable force. Perhaps the skirt is a little smaller in this batch. The 747 has a small protuberance on the bolt. It may be a tight fit. The pellets are shooting fine regardless.

Do not like will change to better brand.

Change the way they are inspected,.

Size of diameter is not constant , Some pellets are smaller then some. Lose fit. They have no Quality control. If you load pellets some fit good then some just fall out of mag

You get what you pay for. Yes, they are in expensive but if you have a high end target gun, many pellet gun you will find that some pellets will not work. There is inconsistency in the size of the pellets. I replaced the Gamo pellets with RWB pellets and not one pellet had a problem.

Likes. . .good weight, fairly clean and uniform, accurate straight shooting, easy load not too tight, excellent price for quantity.

Nothing

Good pellet for sighting in a rifle/scope. One shot after another and right on target. Worth giving a try. Does well in many different rifles and pistols.

Easy to load. Shape facilitates assess. The tin container makes a good target. Don't seem to get your fingers dirty. Good Price. Easy to see the point of impact.

Nothing unless they were cheaper.

Fairly easy to grasp and load. The tin is easy to open.

Price is right. I've been pleasantly surprised with these pellets - decent accuracy in a springer rifle, and great for my 1377 pistol.

nothing. maybe make a round nose version.

Gamo pellets are like a box of chocolates - you never know what you're gonna get. These seem to be pretty good, at least in my guns.

Good value. Shoots well. No problems

Hard to beat these pellets for the price.

very good, and greeat accuracy

bc, weight.

Nothing

Re-size to fit rotary magazine properly

Do not these pellets for a rotary magazine air gun. This product performed so poorly I gave them away

The work as advertised.

Nothing.

They work fine.

The Steyr LP10 was chosen for this test to enable these pellet to shoot their best. It is a world class PCP air pistol that will out shoot most rifles listed on this site. However, at $2,000 plus... is unreasonable for most peoples budgets. I tested several different pellets through this purpose built, 10M pistol, and here's what I came up with... With the LP10 gingerly clamped in a vise, I found that overall, target arms prefer the heavier pellets to produce the best accuracy. I this case 8.13 grain projectiles. You'll have to test pellet diameter through your individual gun. All measurements are average group size from edge to edge. Should you so desire, by subtracting .177 from these numbers, you will have center to center (C/C) group size. All shot at 10M, cleaned between 20 shot groups, 5 shots per string yadda yadda...... Hands down best... H&N Finale Match .232,...that’s less than ten thousandths of an inch group size C/C. Second, Beeman brand H&N Match .270 RWS R10 .280 Champions choice brand .348 RWS Hobby .351 RWS Meisterkugeln .361 H&N Excite Econ .401 Crosman Competitions .492 RWS Diabolo Basic .572 Gamo target .579 It really seems to ring true...You get what you pay for!

Mind you all of these pellets, except for the Gamo and the Basic, will hold the 10 ring on a 10M pistol target...all day long. Incidentally, I have a good supply of Hobby's for practice and just ordered a few thousand H&N Excite ECON's. For game day, I ordered a supply of the Finale Match.

Now, I have been a competitive shooter for many years, and expanded great deals of time, money and gray hair developing my opinions. I'm not a firm believer in theory that “you must test all projectiles in your gun to see what it likes best”. I have had much greater success matching the chosen weapon with the correct TYPE of ammo for the velocity you will be shooting...in this case under 600fps. I have also found that in terms of accuracy, projectile DIAMETER is most crucial, followed closely by weight, then profile. Expecting the above target grade pellets to give results like these in your 15,521 fps gas piston break barrel is bemusing at best! Domed, or pointy, heavy hunting rounds will serve you better as the wadcutter becomes unstable at higher speeds. (look at the picture of the H&N pellet tins, They have rating that will give an Idea of which KIND of pellet to buy, regardless of brand)

Keep in mind...If your intentions are to turn some pesky varmint into a cloud of red vapor...these are NOT the pellets or launch platform for you! If you must have extreme accuracy AND cataclysmic affect, you may need to buy TWO rifles...and I'm sure Pyramyd Air would be happy to assist you!

These shoot as well as any pellet for plinking and target practice in my Gamo CFX and they are cheap for the 500 tin pack.

nothing

would like to see this basic pellet in a little heavier form for lower velocity.

Price

Pellets are quite large and need to be run through a sizer

good price for the quantity.

make them out of silver for the same price haha.

I like these pellets because they don't jam any of my airgun magazines. Crosman, Daisy, Gamo they work!

Price, tin has a screw on lid, accuracy is fair. Shot in RWS 34, RWS LP9.

Pellets are not sized right, some chamber nicely , some need to be pushed in

use for practice

This is a great pellet for all around use. I use it exclusively in my "action pistols", namely the Beretta PX4, the Desert Eagle and the Walther CP88. When I want extreme accuracy with my single shot target pistols, I go to H & N Match pellets.

Nothing

These pellets are a great value at under $5 for 500.

none

Improved casting

The casting on this pellet is poor, resulting in inconsistent barrel fit. I purchased these as a possible good pellet for my Daisy 747. 5 shot groupings at 10 meters at best gave 1" groupings. Pretty much so the same when I used them in my Airforce Edge. I found that for $.50 more, the H&N Econ wadcutter pellets gave .425" groupings. Don't bother with these pellets unless you just want to shoot tin cans at 10' and even then the casting is so poor on these, you may find some pellets won't even fit.

these shoot just fine in my rws pistol and 34 pro.

not much

yes they are a little rough around the edges but they shoot just fine.I've shot 2000 of these in the last couple of weeks and I will buy some more when I use up some of the other brands I've bought.

Great value for the $ and great for target practice. Each pistol/rifle is different... but my Crosman 2300S loves these pellets. Groups are equal to H&N Match pistol ammo for less then 1/2 the price.

The skirts are a bit thin and pellets get damaged in the tin do to this. But considering the price this is no big deal.

A good pellet Good groups in my Crosman 2300S and IZH 46M Perfect for back yard shooting Great screw on lid

Nothing
