Page 3 - Gamo Match .22, .22 Reviews

This is big step up from the Daisy pellets I was using. I had to use a pellet seat on the Daisy pellets skirts to get a good fit in my gun breech. I shoot the Gamo pellets as is.

The pellets really weight 15 grains.

Cheap (price). Lid screws onto can. Pyramyd's packaging of pellets... and they make a clean hole in paper.

Change the name from "MATCH" to "GARBAGE". Do not expect a match grade pellet here. This borders on false advertising by GAMO. These things act like light Airsoft BB's (seemingly) flying off everywhere as they go downrange! I wouldn't shoot these at anything you'd expect to hit at over 20 yd's.

Both the .22 and .177 version of these "MATCH" (ahem) pellets are far from it. I popped in some 20 year old Crosman wadcutter'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 am shooting through a new, broken in, Benjamin Nitro Piston at a 3/8" dot and the GAMO's fell about a 1/2 inch around all sides of the dot... that's almost a 1 1/2" group at 15 yd inside! Totally unacceptable!

I put some new Crosman Premier HP's through it and although I get fliers, the main hole was always less than a dime. I have found that the Benjamin loves the JSB Diabolo Jumbo Exact's from Pyramyd. I get one hole (no fliers) just over 1/2" bench-rested groups with them.

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 GAMO pellets, both .177 and .22 from several cans, so I don't think it's just a bad lot.

As far as wadcutters go, I get good results with Meisterkugeln (.22 cal).

I'd stay away from these, however, and buy anything else from Pyramyd Air!

Actually I'm a little underwhelmed by the accuracy. It's not the shooter. I found that even the Crosman Premier Domed Magnums seemed to be more accurate.

Nothing, but it is what it is.

Look for better wad cutters

shoot wel for the price

little better uniformity

Shot 1/4 to 3/8" at 25 y.if kept below 900 to 950fps. really one hole at 800fps.shot in air force condor.

accurate!

it works great on my avenger 1100!

Very uniform and consistant. These group as good or better than some of the $20 pellets.Can't beat the price!!!

Nothing.

Nothing fancy. Just a great inexpensive general purpose pellet, period! Pellet snobs don't like them because they are a Gamo probuct, but all in all ,a great pellet. I have seen many a bent skirts in $20 tins of pellets and that just happens sometimes. These are kinda light so supermagnum guns may not shoot them too well. Use these pellets for their intended purpose ,informal target shooting,plinking and pest control and you will be quit satisfied.

Price. And they shoot great in all my .22 cal. air guns

Padding in the tin would be nice, and make them a little cleaner, these things were dirty.

When I got them they were a little on the dirty side, but I've seen other gamo pellets like that, not a big deal. Also the nose of the pellets had an uneven look doesn't hurt them. They shoot fine. all and all a very good pellet.

Price, punches nice holes, pure lead for my Daisy 22SG, really whacks the Grey's out to about to about 20 yards.

Padding for the tin

These pellets should shoot well in pistols,Co2 and pneumatics. Want to try some Hobbys and see if they shoot any better/faster in my 22SG.

Very Nice & Uniform Flat-Head pellet, although I'm using the GAMO "Match" Wadcutter as opposed to these which are a little lower in price and quality, these round's are still quite good with uniformed beveled edges. I really like Gamo's lead composition for their round's,,Not too Hard, and Not too Soft.

Not Much, The weight is fine as is.

These are a "MATCH" round, Why anyone would bring these to the field Hunting , and then complain about it's performance is beyond me. If one want's to hunt with a/g's, then do it properly, With the right ammunition! Dome's & Point's in the Field. Cheer's, Andy.

Put 2 tins through my QB this weekend without a single feed problem. The accuracy is excellent and consistent. Fantastic bang for the buck.

It would be nice if they were made from a slightly harder lead alloy. Many of these had damaged skirts from bouncing around in the tin.

mac1airguns accuracy prep mods for QBs make even terrible pellets shoot well, well worth the minimal service fee for the mods.

They are cheaper! I just dont like to spend too much mony on amo. I shoot almost all the time, as I modify, devolep, test etc. guns and pellets, this adds up quick!

Ribs on the side. They are crumbling in the barrel and in the tin affecting accuricy. They also make noise as they travel thru the air as they spin; this noise startles the prey to get out of the way avoiding kill, especially in slower guns! I would get rid of these foolish ribs and make them as smooth as possible.

These are great pellets after I correct them and re-size them with a special die I made. I also wash , dry and sift them to get rid of all of the lead particals. These particals will affect your accuricy big time! With my modified RWS M48 I avarage 975 ft/sc, about 29 ft.lbs energy. (Weight of the pellet is 13.88 grns. printed on tin.) With a Tasco Red Dot site on my modified 48 (I cannot use any scope on the market as my "modified" 48 destroyed all of them!) I am able to hit a small soup can at 60 yards every single time. Of course, the can gets ripped to shreds after about 20 shots. If you can re-shape and re-size them for a tight fit for your spring-piston, and clean them beforehand, I am sure you'll love them the way they fly and hit! But if you are trying to use them out of tin as they are, just use them for plinking, do not go to hunting with them. I suspect they would perform in numatic guns much better.

leaves a clean mark with no tearing on target

nothing

give them a try you'll not regret buying them
