Excellent hollow point hunting pellet.

Nothing.

Perfect sizing. Excellent for long distance hunting.

High knock down potential.

Mine were pretty banged up by the time I got them. Been beat up in shipping is my guess.

They lose velocity pretty quick with the big open hollow point

These pellets are well sized for my gun and shoot good for being a hollow point and are very accurate out to 40 yards or so which I as far as I have used them to for hunting. Plenty of knockdown power.

Nothing I can think of as far as the pellets go but as always could be a bit cheaper.

Highly recommend for hinting small game.

Excellent pellet! Devastating results out of my Benji Trail xl725. Averages 759 fps. 1/2 inch groups at 35 yards. This may sound hard to believe but I took 3 shots at a tuna fish can at 100 yrds. On the third shot hit the can dead center with leapers 4 x 12 x 44 swat scope using 3 dot hold up! Have taken 2 squirrels so far, 30 and 35 yrds

Nothing

H N makes fantastic pellets. I'm very satisfied!

Very accurate out of Benji Trail XL725. Hard hitting. Chrony avg 759 fps. 3/4" group at 28 yrds.

Nothing

Great expansion. One shot kill recently of a squirrel at 30 yrds. H-N make exceptional pellets

Love them

Nothing

Give them a try

Accurate! Devastating at short to medium range 30-50yds. At 1100 fps from a condor, I have taken game as large as fox with one shot!

Maybe a heavier pellet for modded guns.

Gives good expansion up to 75 yds in my gun, but still passes through a 2 by 4 at fifty yds!

I was totally surprised with the accuracy of these hollow points, even out to 83 yards with my Hatsan BT65. Even more impressive was the devastating effect on the intended targets. I have always been a JSB fan, and still am, but these are indeed outstanding hunting pellets that are second to none, at least in MY particular gun.

Nothing at all

As with ANY pellets, what works well in 1 gun may not in another.....even of the same make and model. By all means try them and come to your own conclusion. Happy hunting/plinking

I first started doing this a few years back before Gamo introduced their "Rocket" rounds to Canada. I would take some .22 H&N "Crow Magnums" & put a drop of "Krazy Glue" in the center cavity, and drop in a Daisy Zinc BB, The BB centers itself, and when dry they are virtually inseparable which left me with one hell of a killing round, Flying straight & true(like a Joe Namath spiral), absolutely stunning accuracy, and performance wise. I recently picked up a Hatsan AT-44 .25 (single-shot, synth stock), and after seeing the dismal selection of rounds available in .25 decided to try it again, Now since the .25 Crow-Mag is bigger the BB sits better, and lower in the cavity, much like the original Gamo Rocket. These rounds are so accurate w/ this shooter, it's almost boring, I now get sub 3" groupings @ 100 meters w/ many "one-holers", The pellet/bb combo comes in at 32.3gr,. of absolute stopping power, and has already put a Jack-Rabbit on the table, taken at 85 yds last month " One Shot-One Kill",, I now call these my "Rhino Rounds", They "mushroom beautifully with the bb getting pushed back into the pellet, and have yet to see a bb separate from the pellet. I "Kid" you not, It takes roughly 5 minutes to make 2 dozen or so, more than you'd use for a day in the field. The hardness of the Zinc BB, combined with the famous H&N accuracy will put a smile on any shooters face, a Rabbit/Game Bird on the table, and not leave a dent in your wallet. Cheer's, and Happy Huntin', Andy.

Too Bad, You have to make these yourselves

It only takes a couple minutes to whip up more than you'd use for a day in the field.

The Crow Magnum in .25 is the go-to pellet for my Hatsan M-135. Like all the H&N pellets I have tried and used, it is clean, precisely manufactured and uniform. I am sold on H&N pellets for all three of my calibers, and the Crow Magnum, in particular. This is especially true in my .25 Hatsan M-135. I learned that the Hatsan .25 bore is slightly oversized. Hence, the .25 Baracudas and Silver Points fit a tad too loosely for optimum accuracy. However, their cousin, the Crow Magnum is slightly oversize and fits the bore more snuggly - thus increasing accuracy. Having learned this, I zeroed my Leapers UTG scope with the Crows and have a one-ragged-hole shooter. While a fan of the Silver Points and Baracudas in my other calibers, they just could not group with the Hatsan slightly over-size bore. The Crows, to say it again, did!

The Crow Magnum is an optimal projectile for my use of it as a pest removal pellet. There is little I could suggest for a product improvement. Of course, the old adage about more pellets for the dollar applies!

These are amazingly able to expand in my modeling clay brick that I use to ascertain pellet impact performance. While much has been made of hollow point pellets that is wishful writing, these DO expand and put energy in their target. They are the one pellet that is able to harness the awesome power of the M-135 and put it down range. These, I might add work similarly in my RWS 350 Feuerkraft Pro Compact, which is another high power break barrel, but this one in .177. For pest control at short to medium ranges, say 10 meters to 20, they are devastating, accurate, clean and uniform. They do what one wants them to do. I suspect that they become less accurate a long range as they are a kind of "semi-wadcutter," that is, with a flat front profile - not the best aero shape. Keeping that in mind, use them for their intended mission and one will be pleased with the results.

The container has a screw on/off lid and they are consistent in shape and size. However they sit so loosely in my hatsan 125 in .25, they actually fall out as I reset the barrel to shoot.

Make them cosistent with other .25 pellets in size.

Its simple. If your shooting them in a hatsan 125, probably get something else. They look very well made and im hoping my next .25 takes them.

Expands well. Good quality. Reasonably accurate. Tends to stay inside game. Transfers all it's energy.

Make a heavier version, about 31gr, kind of a cross between a crow magnum and a rabbit magnum.

different pellet designs have different purposes. This pellet is designed for expansion and energy transfer on game, with acceptable accuracy at short to medium ranges. I use these as a less expensive alternative to predator polymags at distances under 40 yards. They shoot exactly half a mil low at 35 yard with my marauder zeroed with jsb kings.

Design

Nothing

Close range

great pellet , accurate and hard hitting on my steel plates out to 40 yds. open sight

This pellet will definitely expand out of a stock Marauder pcp. It hits hard, when it connects with the target. At about 30 yds, accuracy starts to fall apart, and only shoots accurately when pushed hard.

Wish they would make them with a head size of .250, instead of .248 to .249.

Give them a try, they are a great pellet for anchoring pests in their tracks.

Hollow point , 26.23 gr.

Nothing.

Great for pest control.

As with the other H&N pellets that I purchased, the Crow Magnums are accurate and they fit the magazine of my rifle. The price is good.

Nothing.

I shot these pellets from my Evanix Windy City II and was able to get 958 fps which produces 53.47 fpe. You can't go wrong with H&N pellets. I've purchased various pellets to determine which shoots best from my rifle and all the H&N pellets shoot very well. I would avoid Eun Jin pellets if you want quality and accuracy,

This projectile has the best expansion of any hollow point pellet. This is the pellet that delivers heavy impact on small game. The way these mushroom into a slug shape when shot into a bar of soap was amazing!

Nothing, these are great pellets.

These are a good chioce for pcp's with rotary magazines, they stay seated well and feed smooth.

Love the destruction, especially at closer range (under 40yrds) that delivers solid stopping power. In the past some of these closer shots with other pellets blew right threw animals and didn't seem to stop them immediately like I would want even though they still died. These seem to just drop them!

Nothing

These say they are not as good for long range accuracy but I had no problem connecting with targets at 80-90 yrds even though they don't have a domed style head. Of course I just hunt with mine so I have no grouping accuracy.

Hello my kodiak loves this pellet,45 yards dime size groups no problem mate. foxes 35 to 50 yards all day.i have tryied every different ]pellett but for all around use this one does it.

screw on lid and as always more in a tin 350 sounds good.

this pellet will mushroom nice at thr right fps,over 800.
