Gamo Platinum PBA, .177 Reviews

Very light

Alot of pellets are deformed in packaging

The pellets are very light which I really like..

Thay only give you 100 pellets they are not cheap! And alot of them are deformed pellets....so out of the 100 you really only get 80 good pellets.

Hopefully manufacturer of pellets fix this issue.

Squirrels will drop!

Lower the price

These will take down the squirrels that cause great frustration. I am shooting these out of a Gamo silent cat. Not do silent but it does the job

Great groupings, shots have all been dead on so far. getting between 1366 and 1287 FPS in Gamo Swarm Magnum Gen2 (still breaking in) I have an old softcover wrox programming guide that is about 2.5 inches thick. These made it to about page 255 (inch and a quarter) and had a really big wound pattern, it tore up the book.

packaging, i prefer screw on tins would like option to buy more at a time

They are fast. Possibly to fast.

Nothing

Not real accurate

This is a great example of you get what you pay for. They are a little costly but what a absolute difference going from normal grain ammo compared to this product. Turns a average shot to a beast. And if you use high powered air rifle for game id recommend these. Definitely increase velocity and you notice right away from the sounds alone. All have fit tight in barrel as well.

The price but worth the money.

Bought three got one free

Lower the price

Fast accurate

Lower the price bought three to get one free was a plus

Gamo, why not make available a tech sheet? This pellet has value for harvesting what many hunt: starlings at closer range, from a less powerful rifle. Fantastic for this app because of so quickly losing its momentum past the game, and making less chance of pass- through.

The relatively high price may be because of so few being mfg so far. One thing I would change is the evaluations not made from considering all the facts.

Experiment.

Great Product

Don't waste your $$. Pricey, no gain in accuracy and lower weight means less killing power. Gamo DOES NOT make pellets. They re-package from other unknown manufacturers.

Take it off the market? Price. Performance. Reason for product, etc.

Generally >$ means >quality. Equation fails this time. As far as I'm concerned Gamo has done this just so they can claim 1100 fps.

uniformity of product

quantity/ price

not sure what to say about this pellet, groups could be better might be a good 10 yrd pellet, not sure why my rifle doesnt like em.

Shape and weight distribution, clean easy to find.

It is way too light for a magnum powered air rifle. Hwn it breaks the sound barrier the pellet destabilizes and it really hurts accuracy. WHY IS IT SO EXPENSIVE? I mean they are free when you buy certain Gamo air rifles.

These pellets will deliver the best result with low powered air rifles, specially mult. pump pneumatics (Crosman and some Daisys)Really my only high-powered air rifle that shoots these well is my Gamo Bigt Cat but still they are not appropriate for hunting nor hunting with any air rifle that shoots 800+ fps

Lead-free, lite, fast & clean

Wouldn't change anything, they are a lite & a fast pellet,

This pellet is fun to shoot, they are lite & fast, I feel that it is a good target pellet, I haven't hunted with this pellet, but the penetration is good!!

These are a light pellet but if you want stability you might want to try a heaver pellet as these break the sound barrier and will make a loud crack sound when they do but if the sound don't bother you and you need something to get out a little further they are a good pellet and they do have a use in your pellet arsenal for certain shooting.

Nothing good pellet

They are a very light pellet So if your hunting I'd use a heaver pellet with more weight as these will pass threw a rat and keep going with a lower fpe compared to a lead pellet.

Excellent in a gamo big cat 1250.

Packaging. A round tin with screw on lid would be nice.

In a gamo big cat 1250, will break the sound barrier (loud report). Sounds like and actual fire arm.

these things are capable of breaking the sound barrier when shot out of my .177 gamo whisper @ 1250 fps.

for the price, i expect them to be consistant in size/shape, but unfortunately some are not, however its not to bad, only about 10 or so out of the 100 are like this.

for how light they are, these pellets have pretty spot on accuracy and im sure all the squirrels around my yard are not to happy about it.

Sounds like a 22short in Gamo varmint stalker

Nothing

Buy!

loer the accuracy, just a bit of sorting to find misshapen skirts, and these are lethal!!!! i recently purchased a winchester xsu .177 csal from here, awesome gun, i get .40 inch. groups at 45 yrds, and the speeed is excellent!!! a whopping 1469 fps!!!! on the low end and 1478 on the high end!! nearly 1500 fps and 24 ft/pds energy!!!!!!!

not much, just sort a bit, then there awesome., better quality controll, but overall? awesome pellets, buy these................

these are great buy them along with the winchester 1100xsu underlever rifle here:) nice gun very accurate with these pellets!! and deadly!!!!!!!!!

This pellet has less mass than a lead pellet but flies faster so it actually does more damage than a slower pellet with more mass. This means it hits a target varmint faster and makes a more severe wound track and is much more efficient when it hits a vital area.

I can't think of anything to change

if you hunt I recommend you get some of these. But, make each shot count. They are expensive.
