Best price for a quality pellets.

Nice price

Screw on or twist on lid would be nice

Great for plinking fun

Very uniform and accurate and you can't beat the price at a penny a pellet

Nothing, great pellets

These work great in my P17 and 1377

In my tests of two spring rifles, the Umarex Embark and the Beeman R7 (HW30S), these were remarkably accurate. In the Embark, they are currently the most accurate pellet I have tested out of about 15 varieties and they are the second least expensive, making these my go-to, value pellet for target practice and plinking.

Keep them in stock. I plan on using them a lot in the future.

These are always worth a shot. You may well be pleasantly surprised.

I bought these as an inexpensive target wadcutter for my Winter basement 10m range but I was shocked when they ended ip being exceptionally accurate in nearly all my .177 guns. My old Daisy 753 actually put three rounds through the same, slightly ovaline, hole. Amazing for the money!

Buy more than you think you need.

The price. They shoot will in my Beeman pistol.

Screw on tin.

My preferred pellet brands are JSB, H&N and RWS. The price of these is hard to beat, so I thought I would try them since they are H&N branded. I bought these to use as paper punchers in a Daisy 853 which is very accurate with good pellets and generally shoots most pellets well. I was pleasantly surprised with the accuracy these attain and they shoot right up there with my more expensive pellets. I did have 1 flyer in about 50 shots. Each gun has its own ammo preference so I would recommend trying one can of these to see how the perform for you. Quality wise, these pellets appear to be virtually identical to RWS Meisterkugeln's, which are one of my favorites and shoot well in my guns.

The pellet weight should be printed on the can.

Nothing.

I received my order for 100 tins of the new H&N Excite Econ 2 from Pyramyd Air and shot a first string with them using my Prochrono Digital. Date: 6/12/2020 , rifle: FWB 300S / 458500 shots fired: String #63. 99 shots consecutively; Average velocity: 634 fps, Maximum spread: 22 fps, Standard Deviation: 4.9 fps, (Relative Standard Deviation: 0.8%). Using an Ohaus triple beam Balance, for 100 tins the average unopened weight was 265 grams, the spread was 8.5 grams and the standard deviation was 1.7 grams. The lightest tin weighed 263 grams, contained 510 pellets averaging 49.6 gram each, while the heaviest tin weighed 271.5 grams, contain 521 pellets averaging 50.3 grams each (the advertised pellet weight is 7.48 grain or 0.485 grams). I have shot over 240000 shots with the old H&N Excite Econ, they became my favorite pellets (clean, a pleasure to shoot, and accurate). The new Econ 2 pellets seem to be just as good both in performance and in feel as their predecessor were. If your rifle likes them, you shoot a lot, and can live with an RSDvel of 1%, they are also a great buy.

In my experience nothing , see above.

Yes: I had once a bad batch of the old Econ, a while ago: nothing wrong with the pellets, but just small pieces of junk lead in the tins: I took notes of every piece and have kept them here: I like "counting beans"...

They are very accurate in my P17s.

These are good pellets at a bargain price.

These are great pellets, I started using them in most if not all of my airgun. I even use them to practice for my 10 meter match. They hit in the same place as my match pellets

Nothing

Buy them you will like them

Really good value for money. I hope this is not just and introductory price. Accuracy better than outgoing version of this economy pellet. At least as good as RWS Diabolo, and much cheaper, considering the number of pellets in a can.

Nothing. Including the price.

Spot on head diameter for most .177 airguns. Right at .177", or 4.5 mm.

Actual weight of version 2 is 7.6 grains, compared to version 1 at 7.3 grains. I have come to prefer wadcutters closer to 8 grains, after shooting lots of 7 grain RWS pellets. Even from pistols.

These new pellets shoot at 480 FPS from my IZH 46M. They are not as accurate as 8.2 grain Meisterkugeln, but cost about a third as much. Good enough for practice.
