Get good groupings in a Crossman Redtail 22 Cal.

Bigger/Larger Can. Like 300 or more. At a good price too.

Just try them to see if they work for your Air Gun.

Hits hard from Black ops NP rifle, good accuracy to 40 yards then spreads, Have a terrible gopher issue on 16 acres, these dispatch the buggers in one shot.

Better quality control I have received tins with 25 percent of tin was no good due to tip not staying on or the skirts were distorted terribly. Larger quantities, lower costs on bulk.

NA

By far the best for hunting. The lead skirt will detach on impact as ball will continue to penetrate. Accuracy is assume. I maintain 1 inch groups at 40 yards.

I wish they made them in 25 and 357 caliber.

Handles extremely well shoring though brush cover

Penetration big time. Consistent and accuracy @1/4 inch at 10 yards.

More per tin

Headshots on larger game will drop them in there tracks

Apparently, VERY hard-hitting: I tested these on a big fat raccoon a few days ago, and the results were markedly different than what I got with the Crosman .22 domed lead pellets. To wit: I've plugged raccoons (trash pandas, a name I got from a friend's son) in the head with the Crosmans, and they run several yards and finally expire after twitching and flopping around. The first trash panda I plugged with the .22 Gamo Rocket dropped like six feet of chain---he didn't get two feet from the spot where I nailed him. And I've never seen a raccoon flop over backwards like this one did! Then, about an hour later, an opossum dropped in for dinner, and WHAP! The opossum also dropped right then and there. When I nailed 'possums with the Crosman domed pellets, they would scamper away and die some distance off, just like the 'coons; not this time. There was no Luck of the Irish for O'possum this time! (Small joke. Ha-ha. No, huh?)

They might want to maybe make these babies do they don't fit quite so darned tight when you load them; I made a makeshift pellet pen, and I couldn't get these to seat any deeper than when I pushed them in as hard as I could with my thumb. I've seen pictures on the Internet where people have been able to seat pellets deep enough so the skirt can't get squashed out of shape when you close the barrel, which is said to be a good idea (not squashing the pellet skirt, that is.) As for the price: Meh. For the great results I'm getting, they're well worth it, though *your* mileage may vary. I plan to get more, and some in .177 for my other Benjamin too.

I had no idea how these would shoot in my Benjamin, and was delighted to find the Trail digested these quite well, giving good tight groups from a crappy makeshift benchrest (stacked cardboard boxes and a little pillow!) at 12 yards: six shots in a row you could cover with a quarter. I can hardly wait to get my home-made shooting tripod finished; a good solid rest should improve things even more.

Accuracy

More pellets per container.

I just bought a $100.00 Crosman Shockwave, put Leupold rings on it, and a 2X7 Nikon scope, with these pellets. They shoot one ragged hole at 20 yards.

Several other people said they worked well in their are rifle thought I would give them a go finally something accrete I could shoot. Bought my air gun to shoot not to look for something that worked for weeks on end.

These are kind of pricy but they work so will keep buying them would like to see them sole in larger tins. 250 - 500

They penetrate a lot so watch your back stop. Shot through some rather good stops.

Penetration OK. Almost equivalent to heavier 21+ grain projectiles. I'd guess a good hunting round if accurate in your rifle at reasonable ranges for the weight. Airgun, is a Whisper G2, capable of better accuracy with other pills.

I would ask for BETTER Accuracy! They look like they were manufactured by the apprentice, to the apprentices! Roughly cast, which I think might be part of the inaccuracy in my batch.

I'll use them up while camping and not while trying to take small game.

Accurate and lethal. Break away bearing on impact deep penetration damage, The pellet becomes hallow point to create further internal damage by deformation and expansion. I would say that's definitely a double hitter very lethal.

Increase tin content.

Be very careful of your back stop bearing will ricochet on contact with hard surfaces.

Nice quality for Gamo. Deadly. Clean. Nice fit in Webley Spector. They sizzle at 810fps consistently for 21fpe. Accurate to 40 yrds which is where accuracy falls off for the Spector anyway. Its a killer. If you need penetration this is it. Ive killed many a tree rat w/ these in .17cal over the years. I imagine the BB will pass right threw w/ the .22 Spector. I imagine itll bust a Boar Coon skull at these speeds. I did run into 3 that were a little loose fit, not loose enuff to fall out tho.

I been using these for years in .17 AirHawk. As nice in .22. Penetration penetration penetration...good hunting pellet. I thought, make a heavier one but then the steel BB would be goin slower and kinda defeat the pourpose. Not comfortable shooting it out of Hat 150, its a little light. I guess that would be a good reason for a heavier one. Ill deff be keeping these around like i always have for the .17 AirHawk. There super accurate out of it even out to 60yrds.

Accurate, hard hitting, good penetration.

Make a $12 300ct tin.

These are definitely worth trying. They hit hard, go deep and are accurate in several of my spring and gas ram rifles. A great hunting round if they're accurate in your rifle.

Likes. . . . .weight, fit, bb-tip, accuracy, KNOCK DOWN power

Cost per 100ct. At least 150 count minimum for this price.

One of the 1st pellets purchased along with a Benjamin Dual Cal (.177-.22) rifle. Haven't shot in about a year and took out recently. Paired with the Gamo Rocket Pellet, this thing is EXPLOSIVE. All of the above likes cannot be emphasized enough. Plan to purchase more to address occasional nuisance pest. Highly recommend. Has to be one of Gamo's best efforts. PA has second to none sales, service & shipping.

bb on the tip.

n/a

shoot very accurate in my stoeger

Fairly accurate and hard hitting

Heavier weight

Of course it all depends on your particular gun. Some guns like these better than others. But I like them in my Benjamin NP. rifle

Overall everything. Penatration the most !

Larger amount of pellets in tin !

I'm shooting a airforce condor with a 12" bbl. Cronny pellet at avg of 762 fps, shoots less then 1/2" groups at 30 yds. These pellets penetrate like no others. Great small game round.

Penetration is outstanding! For critters with tough skin like squirrels these work great!!In my Airforce Talon SS they shoot as good out to 30yds as several more expensive pellets!I will buy more!!

The ones I was shipped are NOT ballistic tips. They have a copper BB in the nose. Need to change the description!

Firing these out of a Benjamin Marauder makes a pretty neat wiz/buzz noise. The penetration of these pellets is absolutely amazing. When they say "Ballistic Tip", they mean it. They will actually penetrate mild steel pellet traps at 25 meters. I've fired plenty of "deep penetration" pellets, but these take it to a whole new level.

I just couldn't get these pellets to group well past 15 meters. I suspect that it is minor inconsistencies in manufacturing a composite pellet. Normally I shoot a Crosman Premier .22 Cal, 14.3 g, Hollowpoint or Dome, and get a 3/4 inch 5 round group at 30 meters. With these Gamo Rockets the best I was able to manage was a 2 1/2 group at 30 meters. Additionally, they are a bit pricy for a 100 pellet tin.

I think it's a great concept. This is one of the hardest hitting deepest penetrating pellets for the weight that I have ever fired. The steel BB in the tip transfers a tremendous amount of energy to the target. I just can't get the desired groupings out of them at the ranges I'm shooting at.

This is nasty (good) if you need penetration. To test and compair I shot an 18gr lead dome JSB at 833fps 25ft away from a stainless steel double walled thermos. It went through one side and dented the outer wall of the other side. These 14gr at 913fps at the same distance at the same target went through and THROUGH, kept going! The holes were smaller than what the 18gr produced as the effects of the lead in the 18gr HIT harder but deformed faster. This creative pellet has the hard tip that pierces and allows all the energy to be in a much smaller area while pushing forward with its harder (steel?) tip. I haven't tried grouping these but the shots I did take were spot on in my barrel (Daystate).

I would wish to buy 250ct, 100 isn't alot. I bet in 18 grain it would be devastating.

Watch for OVER penetration on targets, I shot the thermos with 2 layers of ballistic rubber behind it inside my custom portable steel box.

Go through metal with ease. When others bounce off.

little more weight

just a good pellet

Pretty.

Accuracy.

After success in my Umarex Fuel (.17), hoped they would be as good in my Uma Octane .22. Bombed. Someday I will learn to NEVER buy more than 1 tin of an untried pellet.
