Page 2 - Gamo Match .22, .22 Reviews

The useable pellets were very accurate

What ever system they use to load or sort the pellets into the cans is damaging some of the pellets. They need to find out what is damaging the pellets

1 or 2 out of 10 pellets are damaged I use a pellet pen to load my gun and when I load it some of the pellets won't slide down the tube due to damage that has been done to the pellet somewhere on its journey from the smelter to the can.

robust flat nose design. good accuracy.

Pellets fit tight in chamber of my 2240. Requires effort to close the bolt. Need to be easier to load.

These pellets are not any better than some others, that may be less money.

Pellets are consistent and not too many deformed pellets in tin, cheap, Work excellent in my new Air Ordnance .22 sub machine gun, cycles good, accurate and powerful.

Make a 500 ct tin.

Gamo match .22 work good out of my other air guns, however not as precise as some German pellets. With that being stated if you need cheap consistent pellets for rapid fire these are a good choice.

Made of lead. Useful for maximizing the weight of my son's pinewood derby car.

I couldn't figure out why they were shooting so poorly until I measured them. Head diameter variation was a staggering 0.23mm! Typical head sizes were only 5.46mm, with a high of 5.59mm and a low of 5.36mm. To give it an approximate timeframe, my tins were purchased in December 2012. Brandishing them as "Match" pellets is borderline false advertising at worst and disingenuous at best.

Quality control with Gamo's pellets seems very hit or miss recently. We had good luck with the Gamo Rockets in .177 cal in my son's rifle. The heads are a consistent diameter. Also have read good things about the Red Fire pellets.

Pellets were all fairly uniform and loaded without any trouble in all 5 test guns. Some fit snugger than others.

Make them more aerodynamic as there was evidence of pellet tumbling from all the air guns used in the test. As with all pellets their performance was dependent on the gun used. I know from experience that air guns are pellet sensitive.

This a summary of the pellets performance in the airguns used to test them. Given will be the test gun, average velocity (AV) in feet per second, average energy (AE) in foot-pounds energy, extreme spread (ES) in feet per second, standard deviation (SD) in feet per second and accuracy results at 10 meters using a shooting stick to steady the guns.
Benjamin Trail NP w/3X9 scope: AV=872.8, AE=26.1, ES=23.2, SD=3.6 and accuracy = 3 shots placed in a 2" diameter circle.
Beeman RS2 w/fiber optic sights: AV=763.2, AE=20, ES=23.1, SD=3 and accuracy = 3 shots placed in a 1" diameter circle.
Browning 800 Express w/fiber optic sights: AV=481.1, AE=8, ES=39.3, SD=11.7 and accuracy = 3 shots placed in a 1.5" diameter circle.
Crosman 2289 Backpacker w/Crosman Red Dot sights: AV=312.7, AE=3.4, ES=27.7, SD=8.8 and accuracy = 3 shots placed in a 1.5" diameter circle.
Crosman 1322 w/Crosman LPA MIM sights: AV=447.9, AE=6.9, ES=24.8, SD=10.3 and accuracy = 3 shots placed in a 1.5" diameter circle.

I consider the performance of these pellets as average. They performed best in the Beeman RS2. They may work better in Gamo airguns or other brands/models of airguns.

I have not tried these for accuacy yet but they are the best fitting pellets for any of my .22 cal air guns (4) and generate the most Muzzle energy of any other pellet that I have tried. For Varmint hunting inside of 20 yards these will give you the greatest Kill power.

Wadcutters are not accurate beyond 20 yards but deadly inside of that mark.

Good price, probably one of the best shooting pellets I've tried with my Benjamin Titan GP, despite not being the tightest fit.

500 Round Tin would be nice.

Pretty consistent pellet shape. They fit loosely into my Benjamin Titan, but I had a couple that fit very snug, but they weren't as accurate. But for the money they are still really good pellets.

Comes in a screw-top tin.Is fairly accurate in my Crosman Nitro Venom Dusk rifle.Good for shooting paper targets.

Less lead dust remaining on pellets.

I have found a few damaged skirts.Only one wasn't shootable.

Good price.

Little flashing on pellets.(not as bad as the .177 versions)Tight fit in barrel.

At 10 meters with my Norica Mod.73 they shot a good group. My 2240 didn't seem to do well with these pellets but I think because it was a 40 degree day, The CO2 probably froze up. Fit a little snug in the 2240.

This is a cheap price but high quality pellet that works well in my Benjamin Nitro piston rifle. If you own a Benjamin Nitro rifle and have not been happy with the accuracy, you need to try these pellets.

Need to sell a 500ct tin

I'm glad I stumbled on to these and my groups are much more consistent and I didn't have to buy the more expensive pellets that I have seen online.

Im using these pellets with my XISICO b28 mag it shoots them fairly well,better than the crosman premiers 14.3 which tend to go super sonic. Im getting 860 fps with the 15.43 with the XISICO--aprox. foot pounds 26. Very good punch at 30 to 40 yard.

nothing

They function well in the RWS 350,but this gun shoots the premiers superbly. The 15.3 gamos are for closer range

Consistant wieght and shape, not many flyers when shooting targets, and plinking

Nothing

More per tin

Very Good pellet for target practice in the backyard. Very accurate, and well balanced in flight. Very consistant shot after shot.

Great groups in .177 and .22 cal. Very few flyers.

Shipping cost twice as much as the pellets. There should be a better shipping option.

Nice clean holes in paper targets.

Cheap prices. Nice tin can.

Improve quality. Inconsistent pellet diameter. Deformed pellets right out of the can.

It jams my Hatsan AT44-10W the very first time. Diameter too big for Crosman 2240. Need to push it hard for the pellet to go into the chamber. With my Air Force Condor it has marginally acceptable performance. No where near as good as Crosman Premier domed head 14.3 grains.

Don't have any 0.22 break barrel spring gun to try. Perhaps this pellet works better in them.

good pellet over all. good for hunting also.

nothing

I ORDERED THE 13.88 BUT GOT THE 15.43 DID NOT SEND THEM BACK BECAUSE THEY ARE VERY GOOD ALSO. GOOD DEAL FOR THE PRICE SUPER HARD HITTING WITH MY GAMO SOCOM EXTREME& WITH MY RWS 350. VERY ACCURATE FOR PLINKING AND ALL AROUND SHOOTING.

clean holes in paper targets, very accurate

length, the skirt is to long for the crosman 2240, but these should work well in break barrels.

these are a little to long for my crosman 2240, but can be forced, not good. all wadcutters hang up with bolt actions, but the Daisey wadcutters work a lot better in this gun.

Did not like these at all.

Improve quality control. Pellet diameter varied significantly. Some pellets fit snugly when inserted into the barrel (as they should) and others were so loose they slipped out of the barrel.

In my Talon SS at 20 yards these were wildly inacurate, creating groups many times larger than for any other pellet I've tried. I suspect that the variation in diameter that I already mentioned had something to do with this.

The accuracy is not good in the RS2. They may shoot better in a smooth bore pellet gun.

nothing

Used these in my marauder grouped like a shotgun
