Very nice shape and very clean pellets. Accurate. They hit hard...

PRICE....

I got these for my local varmints..But these are way too heavy a pellet for my BSA gas ram unit. They drop off quickly after 25 yards. I WILL recommend them for a more powerful gun. Very accurate at short range. My gun produces only 730fps with 14g pellets, so I'm guessing it's around 600fps with these heavys. If you have a stronger gun, go for it, you won't be disappointed.

Everything! I will be buying more soon. These and the 15.74 grain Spitzkugle will be my serious shooting pellets from this day on.

Larger quanities is all I can think of.

I tested these again with two 1 gallon plastic milk gugs filled with water. With my Beeman and Benjamin Titan both almost shot through both jugs. The pellets showed little expantion but remained stable while passing through the water. Of course on game I know they would peform very well as they would impact bone and hide. I can't wait to use these on game. And only one place to get them ... PYRAMYD! Always #1

The looks, the specalized head and the accuracy. I just bought 3 cans of pellets and got this one for the forth can. Had I known how accurate these are I may have ordered more. No doubt I will be ordering more in the near future.

Perhaps only the weight, they are a tiny bit heave for my 1322 and 2240.Or better yet I wish they made a version that weighed about 13-14 grains. But for a more powerful air gun these baby's really perform. I shot a 1 gallon milk jug in hopes of recovering one. It completely passed through. I will try again with 2 milk jugs. It did leave a nice exit hole.

I have only shot 40 or 50 of these but am truly amazed. Even my 1322 with 1399 stock and 4x30 Center Point scope these will hold an inch at 30 yards. I have to use the second elevation dot but it will put every pellet in the same place. I can tell the pellet is moving slower than usual, but they are so accurate! As for my 2240 (shoots harded than a stock 2240) these really move fast. I will do much more extensive testing and get back. Pyramyd, as always ... #1 ...

This is the most accurate pellet I have found for my multi-pump pneumatic Crosman Backpacker. Surprisingly, I am able to achieve all holes touching at 10 yards with these.

Higher pellet count per tin.

I am not all that experienced with air gunning and the only 22 Cal. Air Gun I have is a Benjamin Franklin 22 Cal pump. I was shooting at the bottoms of fairly thick soup cans from 25 feet. ( I would not desire to be shot with one of these pellets ). They mushroom out very nicely. They are clean pellets and there design I like very much. I fired 10 of these pellets and found them very accurate at this distance.

Nothing except the price of shippng. The price of the pellets seem fair enough though.

From the short experience I had shooting these pellets I believe they would be a very good small game hunting pellet. Yes, I would recommend them to a Friend / Friends.

Nice weight hollowpoint. Accurate, well made, good expansion.

500 count tins

These have really good accuracy out to 75 yards.

My Benjamin NP XL 1100 LOVES THESE! I was using the Crow Magnums, but these seem to group better for me. Hit really hard on squirrels and other small game. Very consistent and really hard hitting out of the NP XL

Nothing. Good castings, clean pellets.

Very well made and consistent. Very clean soft lead (lubricated? coated?). No deformations, all are good users. I shoot an Air Arms S510 Extra, adjusted for high power, and nail a 1/4" target 20-30 yards.

Make the container quantity greater, or sell larger bulk containers.

An impressive flattening and spread into a soft target, but also deeply driven into thick Pine board.

The accuracy in my HW97K is amazing with these peletts. At 20 yards I can cover 3 and 5 shot groups with half a dime. The consistancy is outstanding so far,I see no need to mess with a good thing.

Nothing/Don't change a good product.

My HK97K loves these pellets. I truly believe I would have a one hole group if I was a better shooter(which I attribute to age and strength,its hard to hold steady these days) I will settle for a 1/16" center to center @ 16 yds zero any day of the week.I'm more than pleased and will shoot the H&N exclusively.

Possibly a larger tin at a better per pellet value/price

The Predator Polymag 16gr is the only other that came real close to the H&N

These are very good pellets. They group well for me. The only ones I've found more accurate than these are the coppa spitzugle 16g.

They are more costly than my favorite ones by a bit, so value takes a hit.

Power and accuracy are tops in my 9 different pellets shot so far

See that out of stock sometimes but now I know why.

These have been most consistent pellet from first shots to my last shots.. if scope loosens, I have it zreoed back in within 3-4 shots with this pellet..

Stock Marauder, Most accurate hunting pellet I've tested. Got these as a "free fourth tin" and what a score. My new favorite.

More pellets per tin.

Holy cow these hit hard and expand. Almost on par with Crow Magnums with much, much, greater accuracy and better penetration. .15" group, 5 shots at 17 Yards. Velocity important for expansion, tested at 800fps. See pics for expansion example.

THWACK. Hard hitting and surprisingly accurate.

nothing

At 30 yds. these have the squirrels doing sumersaults.

they are good shape

more in a tin like 500

this pellects shoot good in my maruder an my condor an man the hit hard an make nice size hold

Consistant accuracy; very hard hitting pellet.

Not sure? Sell for half as much! :)

No

killing effect

I have been using these pellets with a Hatsan 95 and have had great success in thinning out the horde of raccoons infesting our garden and patio. These pellets appear to do the trick. Between 30 and 50 yards, I have a 50% kill-ratio, with, as to the smaller raccoons, a one shot/one kill result. With those that aren't killed with one shot, most are usually wounded enough to be finished off with the next one. Great ammo for what I use it for: varmint elimination.

From my 22 cal MRod. These hold very tight groups out to 45 yards, and they have the exact same POI as the 18 grain JSB's. So far I've taken 2 crows at 30-40 yards, 5 tree rats, and 4 starlings.

Nothing

I clean all my pellets. 3 washings with dish soap, rinse / dry, and then spray with some all purpose lube, pat dry and put back on the tin.

Consistent and tight. M-rod at 22-28 yards with UTG 3-9x40 scope. Not quite as good as Meisterkugeln but heavier and a quality product. In my top 3 favorites for this gun along with Benjamin Discovery. Better response than the slightly heavier Barracuda Match.

Not much. Would love to fill that cross head with with powder for a giggle!

These are really high quality pellets and have excellent expansion. They are a great fit for my Summatra's circular magazines. Great for hunting, but may be to much for rabbit sized game. If you need stopping power these pellets are the way to go.

A bit pricy, but after all you get what you pay for. I would like to see a 250 count tin of these pellets.

I can attest that these pellets are a great match for the tollerances found in the Sumatra engineering.
