They look cool... BB in the end seems like a great concept...

Accuracy...

I was unable to sight in my Gamo CFX using these pellets. They were all over the board. Switched to RWS Super-H 6.9gr. and the gun shoots nice grouping and was easily sighted in from there with consistant accuracy.

been using these since they have come out but havent used them in a few yrs gotem today and omg fist shot on a squirrel and just droped it right there great pellet

even though i dont have an issue with them but the burs on the pellets that needs to be eliminated and wish it would come in 500 ct

if your looking for just taking out a few of those pesky squirrels these are the answer also works well with rabbits if u have a problem with them too... over all its a great pellet

Screw-on lid. Concept of design is good. Just about optimum weight for light varminting.

Much in need of quality control in every way. Size and weight are not consistent. Casting burrs all over the place

Due to the poor quality control mentioned above, this pellet has terrible accuracy. Too many bad variables for consistency. I really expected a lot more from Gamo. Not recommended!

the design, this pellet can be used to take squirrels with headshots or body shots. it penetrates extremely well due to the bb in the tip. consistent fit in the gun, not many pellets with manufacturing defects. only one or two pellets were missing the bb

not much.

these pellets are heavy and may damage your spring gun, but due to the weight they are more efficient and thus carry more energy. from my pest control experience these tend to blast right through squirrels and leave a jagged hole. their is little expansion though.

Looks cool.......

ALMOST EVERYTHING, wow what a disappointment. A couple reasons are the mod lines, every pellet had one on it, also the skirts are horrible because they are very uneven.

I guess this is good if you are hunting from point blank, but overall I'm not happey with this pellet in any way.

NOTHING

EVERYTHING

I bought 6 packs of them and they have NO killing power And drop like a rock after 20ft i was shooting at a steel target i had to aim 1 1/2 feet above the target to hit it and when it hit it just left a small dent. Buy crossman Pointed pellets the can punch threw a steel sheet at 75 yards.

Pellet appears to break apart after impact which is good for imparting a lot of shock when hunting. Lead stays behind and steel tip keeps going.

Mold lines and packaging too tight.

A novelty pellet that should actually be good for hunting larger game due to the penetration and break-up upon impact. stays fairly accurate too.

Weight, BB tip, accuracy, power, and price

Consistency in size and shape.

This is a great pellet! I have killed squirrels @ 50 yds with this ammo, and I have made consecutive 85yd shots on a 1qt water bottle with my Crosman Storm XT. The pellet is heavy enough to penetrate on one side of the bottle and leave a puncture on the other side @ 85yds. These pellets are very accurate regardless of the size and shape inconsistency. I wish I could post a video of some of my 85yd shots with this ammo, because I KNOW most that see this review are going to question this and that is fine. Believe what you want!

The concept is great

The quality control is very poor. some pellets are so oversized they will not go into the breech, while others are so undersized they fall out while closing my springer.

Mabe I got a bad batch. Buy at your own risk

Price was OK. Seemed like pretty standard size/shape.

Compared to other pellets, this one seems to be all over the place as far as accuracy. Sometimes varied by as much as 3 inches at 15 yds, using bench rest/vice.

Good for plinking, but not any hunting. With this size pellet, accuracy is critical to avoid just injuring and not killing.

they are very stable and accurate. they are a great value for the money. I like the size,shape and design with the bb for its nose. they help me to control the varmint population very well. I like the extra weight of the gamo rocket compared to other projectiles.

none except sell them in a larger volume

I used to have a squirrel problem with the little varmints getting into my attic. With the Gamo rocket and my Gamo Hunter w/scope I've become the one shot-one kill squirrel terminator. I have had several successful kills at 35 yds (determined using my rangefinder). The impact is absolutely devastating, most kills drop right where they're hit. Few make it more than a couple of yards. They are consist in their performance and shot placement, and unlike one of the other reviewers they are uniform in their size and shape (on my third tin)

Quantity (minimum 250 ct, would like the option for a 500 ct pkg.) and obviously the price. I'm thinkiing of expanding the vermin hunting to other nuisance animals so I wouldn't change the mass of the pellet. It works fine with my 1000 fps Hunter.

This pellet is very much like the Daisy Max Speed, but better. Based on its kill record and kill distance, I'm willing to bet I've got another 5-10 yds in the radius of the kill zone. If you are hunting small game (where legal) or removing nuisance varmints, this is the pellet of choice.

Its very accurate and stable

Hit hard and as far as penetration goes, all I can say is WOW. I decided to measure the penetration of these compared to Crossman pellets. They penetrated twice as deep into a two by four at 15 yards and dent sheet metal. Fairly accurate at 15 yards, but nothing super. Good enough, but not 5 star worthy.

Accuracy and quality control. Gamo always has problems with accuracy. If you want long range, go with RWS. And they cost alot for what they are.

If you are close range hunting (like rabbits in brushpiles) BUY THESE. If you are hunting past 15 yard, dont bother with them.

This pellet shoots very good in my gamo viper. Very good groops for a heavy pellet and puts the smack down on any small game animal i hunt ( which i hunt almost everyday with these).

I would have put more pellets in the tin so i wouldnt run out so fast.

The Gamo Rocket does an excellent job in my Big Cat 1200. I've shot the pellets into a pieces of hardwood. The penetration and expansion is absolutely great.

Nothing!

almost all of them are the exact same size, feels the same one after the other loading them into the breech. no loose ones

maybe a lighter version, these ones are just a bit too heavy for my preference. lead also does not expand when shot into anything, the ones i've been able to recover looked almost identical to a fresh one. there is a seam on almost every one, the worst ones aren't too bad but you can see them

these things might as well be called "the penetrators" cause thats what they do

They work as advertised, penetration & expansion is very good. Gives your airgun an extra umphh !

I don't know if I got a good batch or what, but mine were all perfect !

When hunting small game at short to medium range, these pellets will serve you well !

I tried these with my Beretta xx-treme handhun (400 fps), and wow, they dont jam what so ever, fired 24, none jammed... Shot at a penney, put a nice dent in it, and 3 cracks on the other side. Went through a beer bottle cap no problem.

Some may be a little tigher or loser when loading, but didnt bother me. Would love to see one of these with a pointed tip.

One of my faves so far =D

the idea

quality

i had to throw away 70% of the tin because they were warped
