Page 6 - Gamo Rocket .177, .177 Reviews

it worked great The penetration and accuracy where great. worker very good in both my pt-80 and old cheap air rife got over one half to 1 inch more penetration in a phone book.it wouldn't do as good if any lighter

make the die so it wouldn't leave wings on eges, Quality Control, more per box..

every gun is like a human being and is different even the same model you find what works best in it different air presure and wieght and vibration heat and cold some days I can't do noting wrong and the next time can't seam to get anything to work the thng is keep at it tell you get what works right for you and your gun

The penetration and accuracy. You know, these pellets are pretty darn accurate in my RWS Diana 240 Classic, because I can hit a 1'' target at 10 meters.

They leave some lead residue, (some my other pellets don't leave as much) but I'm not going complain.

Give 'em a try.

the penatration they are good for overall hunting they do not go through hard things the shape was good none where bad .

more per container and probly lower the grain to 9.0 to make them more accurate

they bounce off of hard things buy pba raptors or armor pellets

heavier grain pellet.

Several pellets were warped and were not usable. That said the price was steep.

needed to use a 600+ feet per second gun to shoot some of the pellets so they wouldn't jam. Seems to be designed for higher end pellet rifles.

Very Accurate, Good Speed, Very Good Down-Range Power

Price

This is hands down the best pellet I have used. I have a Gamo Whisper that shoots 1,000 fps, although these rocket pellets don't go quite that fast, they are very accurate. I sighted in my Whisper at 25 yards, and 8 out of my last 10 shots I could cover up with a quarter. My first Squirrel I took out was at 35 yards in the neck. I would highly recommend these pellets to anyone who is looking for good power and consistency in a pellet.

Not much....they look cool.

Better Quality Control; these pellets have bits of lead on the sides (almost all of them) that make them fly wild. More pellets for less cash; these are expensive!

Don't buy if you plan on hunting small game.
No penetration whatsoever & definitely not good for a sub-magnum powered air rifle.

Seems to get great penetration

I'd say 30% of the pellets are mishappen. They also fit a bit too loosely in my guns (hunter elite, whisper). They should get rid of the clear plastic top on the case, since it arrived shattered.

Decent accuracy. Good penetration.

Quality control. I tossed at least 30% into the scrap bin.

packs a punch but very inconsistant...flash and burs ect.

Better quality control. flash makes these fly wildly. Some got stuck in my remington??? which will eat just about anything I feed it.

These pellets failed the book test. They pack the punch, but I didn't get the penetration I was looking for. The magnums out preformed these as far as penetration. Not worth the$$$ Mabe if they were more uniformed?

hands down the best pelet made. it is very accurate and has amazing penatration and expasion. very powerful. shooting 1 inch groups at 35 yards. shot at a 1/2 inch of ply wood and the exit hole was 2 inches, other pelets are 1/2 inches/

nothing, a bit pricy

only pelet i know that is concistant and stays in sight

They are very accurate and penetrate well. Great for 35 yards or less.

Some are deformed and fit very tight in gun sometimes i think they fit to tight, but still shoot real good!

I shoot these in my Gamo Whisper Gas Spring. I would buy these again for sure.

Very good penetration for any pellet gun.I use them in my Crosman 3576W and get the power I want.My Powerline 856 uses this to blow holes through thick metal.I shot a squirrel with it earlier and it went right through it. They ar pretty light too.It gives you the penetration of a BB with out the damage or lack of accuracy.

Make a tin of 500 and give it a pointed tip, but other than that very nice, but need to smooth it out a little.

You'll want to keep using these after you try them so I use these specifically for shooting objects other than targets and animals such as cans, plastics, things that lead would smush up in.

Awesome hunting pellet. Shoots very acurrate. Killed 5 birds the first day i had them. and they go good with my powerline 880.

Alot of them are mishapen.They have little shreds of metal hanging off of them. They weigh alot more than i would like.

Amazing hunting ammo! the knockdown power is just fantastic. im over all pleased. Best pellet i have ever used.

I started using these a few years ago. I wrote an earlier review on how well these worked on raccoons that we have a problem with in my neighbrohood. I always take head shots for a quick as possible kill and at close range. I reciently recovered a few skulls. Sounds gross but they were clean and I soaked them in bleach. I wanted to see exactly how well these things were penetrating. Needless to say i wasnt dissapointed. The .177 was making quarter inch holes in the top of the skulls. Some had even exited out around the mouth. I have recovered several pelets and they seem to colapse in when hitting a hard object. The bb dislodges from the led. I am glad I tried these and for what I use them for they are excelant!

Casting looks cheap, not smooth around skirt.

Dont know how they do long range.

Very accurate and well made. It does the job. Killing small game , and or having fun drilling holes in thick cans is NO problem. My accuracy went up using this in my rifle. No tumble or shifting.

Make it in a .22 cal PLEASE !!!!!!!!!!!

This ammo is fantastic , but I have found it works well ONLY in rifles.

The ones with consistent shape work great in my 850.

I have several tins that I bought last year that have much better consistency in shape than the ones I bought recently. There are at least 50% of the pellets in these new tins that have flash on the parting line from the mold. Of these bad pellets, 15% ~ 20% are so bad that they look like they have wings. What happen to Gamo's quality control??

It looks like there's a problem in the recent product run on these pellets. I'm disappointed at Gamo for not keeping up the quality control. Please fix it.

The penatration also the accuracys ok.

Cheaper, more of them....?

The penatration is good probably the best I got.

The higher penetration is great for hunting and targets behind hard to penetrate items for instance there was the steel plate i was throwing out no thicker than a credit card that was at the end of my yard 15 yards away and every time a single rat went behind it i couldnt kill them because ALL LEAD PELLETS i tried were UNABLE to penetrate but when i tried the Gamo Rocket it went clean through the plate and killed the rat.

Manufacter because most of the pellets were deform and would not fit in the breach of my Daisy Powerline 901

look at each pellets before loading it

I like the concept

Change the way they are manufactured. There is so much flash on the parting line from the mold that the pellets are irregular in shape and will not fit my my Quest 1000. I had to throw away about 50% of them.

The pellets are not as strong as stated. A standard Crossman pointed pellet actually went deeper into a 2x4 and a telephone book. Don't believe everything you read. Additionally their pattern is not very tight. With other pellets I can hit a quarter at 40 ft., I can't with these. I'll probably throw the rest away.

these pellets are hard hitters.They shoot through 3/4 inch hardened lumber that all of my other pellets failed to do.

make the skirt smaller

not good for squirrel or bird hunting in high powered guns,simply goes right through,so I would imagine they would be great for coons and such
