Page 4 - Gamo Match .177, .177 Reviews

Very good quality.

Nothing.

Reasonably economical, did shoot fairly well in a couple of guns

Gamo apparently changed the design of their Match pellets, but kept the product name, numbers and packaging all the same. This is a bit misleading, since it is certainly NOT the same pellet in terms of shooting performance.

I've tested these against the old Gamo Match pellets in 25 different guns in both .177 and .22, and only about 25% of those guns shot them the same. Another 25% shot them better, about 50% shot them worse. Performance in a few guns was horrible. So if you haven't used this NEWER Match pellet before, try them out before ordering a bunch of them. Just because your gun liked the old ones doesn't mean that it will like the new.

I'm shooting these mostly in my Bronco, which requires either a fat pellet or a skirt that will expand enough to fit the bore, and these do the trick. I'm a 10M shooter and these are capable of better accuracy than I am. In other words as long as I do my part they do theirs.

For the price nothing.

These shoot well in my two other airguns also.

Relatively cheap.

These pellets are different from what used to be sold under this name before.

Low quality. I used Gamo Match Wadcutter in small 250-pellet tins and really like them. These pellets are different. Every pellet has a groove through the center and uneven skirt.

This is a perfect target .22 pellet. The price is good and I trust the Gamo Precision. I never get clunker pellets with Gamo

Cheap (price). Lid screws onto can. Pyramyd's packaging of pellets.

Change the name from "MATCH" to "GARBAGE". Do not expect a match grade pellet here. This borders on false advertising by GAMO.

Both the .177 and .22 version of these "MATCH" (ahem) pellets are far from it. I popped in some 20 year old Crosman pointed Copperhead's just to see if it was me, the gun or something else that caused poor groups at 45' inside. It was something else alright... these pellets. I was shooting through an old (newly scoped) Crosman 2100 at a 3/8" dot and the GAMO's fell about a 1/2 inch around all sides of the dot... the Copperheads had one out of the dot but still touching it. The other 4 were completely within it.

I'm offering up this review as my experience with (and opinion of) these pellets. Your results may differ. I've shot at least 400 pellets, both .177 and .22 from several cans, so I don't think it's just a bad lot. I haven't yet found the perfect ones for my rifles so I am not ready to give an opinion on alternative pellets. I'd stay away from these, however, and buy something else from Pyramyd Air!

One of the few pellets that seems to group well in ANY gun.

Nothing

Good, inexpensive pellets for sighting-in.

consistent in size and accurate. good holes in the target.

heavier would be good.

these shot clover groups out of my gamo viper off the rest at about 15 yards and as a target round have been perfect for me. i tried them on squirrels and that went poorly.

They are great out to 10 yards in the garage. I zeroed my Gamo hunter with these at that range then took it out to shoot 30 yards and had about 4-5 in groups. That is horrible. Gave all them to my kids.

I can shoot 1/2 in with JSB pellets at the same range and hit steel my pig target its about 2 in x 1.5 inches out to 60 yards with JSB. These had a spread of more than 75 fps on a 5 shot string. Tha effects the accuracy greatly at range. JSB were 6 fps. Good for your kids or at CLOSE range.

I love this pellet, everything about it.

Maybe package them better?

This pellet has amazing accuracy from 35 yards. 1-1.5'' groups.

They're perfect for my Beretta PX4 Storm!

Too much residue.

They fit perfectly in the clips. I've experienced no jams or fall-out. Also got one free when I made a purchase of five tins. Can't beat that!

These are good pellets for general close in shooting, I get dime size groups shooting offhand with my Dianna 34 all the time at 10 yards. The price is great for the kind of accuracy you get. The tin is FAR better than the high priced pellets tins. The 250 count pellet tin is a perfect size for a days shooting.

Roll them across a screen before packaging, I use a womans earring hanger screen my wife had ( and no longer used) and it works great to sift the swarf out.

Find the best pellet for the cost and if this one works for you, then who cares if you have to toss one sometimes. unless your training for the olympics, these may work great for you!

An excellent value. The price is right. I will be using tons of these for practice. None of them for serious shooting.

The quality control is marginal. There are numerous malformed pellets in each tin. Of course greater quality control would lead to greater price. All in all, I think the trade offs that Gamo has made between price and quality are the right trade offs.

Your fingers will not collect as much lead on them when using these pellets. This indicates that the lead content of these pellets is lower than some others. This is ok with me.

accurate, well uniform!

make 8.5 gr less than 10.0 gr. , make 500 ct.

this pellet pellet works good on my remington summit! im not sure about this but i think you need to find out whats your gun favorite pellet, and stick with that pellet.

Accuracy. I can consistently get a 1/2"" group at 10M with a Walther Nighthawk.

Quality Control. There is too much lead "trash" in the tin which ends up in the pellet and effects the weight. There are enough irregular pellets that I have to closely check each one.

I suggest using the Beeman Pell Seat which allows you to check each pellet and form a consistent pellet skirt.

Everything! These are amazing! They deliver 3/8 inch groups all on a 1 centimeter/10 millimeter circular target at 16 yards with my RWS Diana 240 Classic with a Centerpoint 3-9x40 variable brightness dual illumination mildot reticle scope with Centerpoint scope mounts.

Nothing.

This is an updated report. :) Get these pellets!

I recently picked up a second air rifle from Pyramid Air-a Beeman model 1024 breakdown rifle.I've done the usual experimenting with many different pellets.And the winner is.....the Gamo Match wadcutters! That makes two air rifles I own that either like these pellets best, or are at least in the top two or three.Right now, I could basically just shoot the Gamo Match pellets in my Beeman and Crosman 1077 combo and be happy.

Not a thing.

These pellets deserve a try in your airgun. I believe B.B. Pelletier really likes these also, and said so in his blog.

Nice little tin

Make weight/shape more consistent

Occasional pellets just fall through the bore of my pistol. Weight on tin is 7.71g, but I weighed several and found them to run from about 7.5g up to 8.0g. Some skirts are slightly out-of-round to completely misformed and unuseable. Maybe I got a bad batch.

best Gamo pellet i have used so far. good groups and a great bargain for the money.

nothing

every rifle is diffrent. these pellets are worth a try!

From what I've seen so far these pellets and the Daisy 953 are a perfect match for each other. Buy far the most accurate pellet that I've used in this gun. I haven't used the clip yet with these pellets as they are very easy to load one at a time. I use high scope mounts. These pellets are an excellent buy for the money.

Nothing. 500 to a tin and a screw on lid. Perfect.

I wish I had purchased more
