Page 2 - H&N Crow Magnum, .177 Reviews

this pellet mushrooms inside out at 30yds or less.Not super heavy so it gets good velocity from magnums.Devastating on ground squirrels.acceptable size groups at 25yds. with occasional flyer.Hits like a sledgehammer.Leaves massive wound trail.

change pellet tolerances to get rid of flyers, otherwise would be 5 stars,still a favorite at 30yds or less.

should be cheaper

Very accurate Pellet that hits hard and transfers energy well. The lead is soft enough to mushroom perfectly but does not just turn to mush like some other pellets I have tried. The rounds are very consistent and the can has a screw on lid which is really nice.

Would like to see this exact pellet in heavier weight

This was my go to hunting pellet before I found the H&N Barracuda Hunter which I prefer when hunting with my Bone Collector. However I just the crow Magnums from my slightly less powerful rifles and air pistols and they work very well.

This pellet, in any cal., gives some of the best groups of any pellet I have shot. And that includes the .177, .22, and the .25 caliber ammo.

I would offer this pellet in 500 pcs. in every caliber.

This pellet may be the #1 pellet for your particular air gun.

Very stable Hollowpoint when it comes to accuracy at 20yd.

Nothing.

One thing I have learned is the weight of the Hollowpoint makes a big difference in accuracy. Too light or heavy can make the pellet groups too large. Try various weights of pellet for your air gun and see if it makes a difference for you.

Very accurate and hard hitting. Packed in a great tin that screws down and holds tight.

Nothing

Pellet quality and durability. Excellent expansion.

Significant lower price.

These expand and shoot well in my high power PCP air rifles. They are all I use for hunting at 40 yds. and less. They are too expensive for target use.

Good expantion,Good groupings, high quality of over all pellets.

Not much.

These grouped well for me at 25 yards with my nitro powered wisper very decent nock down power for pigeon,rabbit, squirrel. Took 40 squirrel with it in 3 months they did there job much less running then with some other pellets.

These pellets do serious damage. Hit like a hammer. Very accurate out of TX200 up to 50 yards.

As long as these are used primarily for 50 yards and less, great buy.

These pellets are very well made. The are very uniform in size, weight, and shape. I've shot a few squirrels with mixed results. My conclusion is that in order for them to fully expand you need to be pushing higher FPS. Out of my Gamo Big Cat they expand like crazy and drop squirrels dead in their tracks under twenty yards. Beyond twenty I've lost a couple squirrels or needed a second shot. When I recover pellets from squirrels shot under twenty they are fully mushroomed everytime. Beyond twenty almost no expansion.

Nothing.

As I stated above these H&N Crow Magnums are heavier than the Beemans. This slows them down. Make sure your shooting a magnum springer or high powered airgun of some variety.

Very nice performance. I'm using these with a Benjamin Marauder. Very accurate and they hit hard.

Nothing.

One hole group from bench at 25 yards. I have no complaints.

Great hunting pellet, shoot very well in my 20 year old Beeman FWB. Ive tried a variety of type of hunting pellets, these are my favorite for .177.

This is worth a repeat. Pyramid Air is a great outfit. These guys understand that this is a customer service industry first, then an air gun industry. They are honest, efficient, and extremely knowledgeable about their business. Call and ask a question about their products one time and you will become a fan of this company.

I shoot both the .177 and the .22 Cal version of this pellet they both have the same effect on whatever target they hit, it explodes. Soda cans, apples, potato's, birds, rats, and so forth a good sinter of mass shot and it go's boom

larger count in the tin

When I shoot applies or potato's it leaves a wound channel big enough to put my finger throw. My hands are not small, my rang size is 14.5

big impact hollow point

quality

from my 850 air mag these pellets are about as accurate as throwing a buick,6" groups at 30 yards!yes i said 6" groups,very dissapointing

these shoot very good from my RWS mod 34 rifle very good groups.

very pricey for 500 .177 cal pellets.

Uniformity of pellets is excellent.The most accurate pellet so far for my Hammerli Storm Elite.

Nothing.There everything a good pellet should be.

Have noticed they dont seem to perform well out of pistols,but there spot on in my air rifle.

Stopping Power, Decent grouping at 25yds.

Cant really change much

These hold decent groups at 25yds in my Ruger Blackhawk. Only thing I dont like about them is that they dont really carry much energy out past 30yds. But thats what they are designed for, close range devistation. So overall a good pellet, but dont plan on much squirrel stopping power past 30yds.

The manufacturing quality is very high. Fits chamber well.

Needs much better accuracy.

I purchased these for pest control. In my Beeman R7, I am getting 3 inch groups at 30 feet from a shooting table. This is the only pellet that the R7 does not get better than dime size groups from. I would really like these pellets if I could get them to hit what I am aiming at. Because of the inaccuracy, these pellets can not be used for pest control in my R7. They may be fine in a higher velocity rifle.

Nice clean pellet. They fit consistantly snug in the breech of my RWS 350 Mag. This is a very uniform pellet. Love the availability and economy of the 500ct tin. Tremendous combination of accuracy and ME (22.5 ft-lbs) in this rifle.

I'd like them just a touch heavier (9.1gr?). The 350 Mag shoots them at a very consistant 1074+/- 3.2 fps which is still (just barely) super sonic.

Likely a great choice if you have a rifle rated between 950 and 1250 FPS but runs a little slower than spec. ( Like most do.)

Big package of 500 pellets means re-sighting the rifle less often, able to shoot tight groups at 10 and 30 yds consistently, hits hard. I like that these are accurate enough for target shooting so i can expect the same performance when i must use them for pest control. One clean shot on target at reasonable distance is required for that.

A good match for a Beeman R9/HW95

The Expansion tip. It has the deepest Expansion Cavity and is the best performing hollow point there is, and i say this with reason, reason is that it expands VERY RAPIDLY (proven in my ballistics gel test) and has the WIDEST diameter at the end of penetration, it was the size of the head of a .25 caliber pellet when retrieved from my ballistics gel pellets were also very clean and no visible deformities

THE ACCURACY!!!! The accuracy is terrible with these out of my Benjamin Discovery I Dont know if my particular rifle doesnt like these but they did TERRIBLE im talking 2-3 inch 5 shot groups at 25 yrds compared to a very tight 1/8" 5 shot group at 25 yrds aswell with the Air arms 10.3 gr Field heavy Domed pellets

Dont but them for the Benjamin Discovery
