Nothing

Don't know

Not one of my guns like these pellets

NIce quality pellet; clean, accurate, consistent out of the tin.

Nothing I can think of. Maybe a screw-on top for the container? Only a matter of time for me to be picking up a few hundred pellets off the floor in the garage....

These are round nose, not as round as some others, but not flat wad cutters. They have good weight, shoot well. I like them a lot, and you will too. They are for sport shooters, not guys who measure and weigh their pellets and who think that makes a big difference. Let me put it another way; if you are shooting $2,000 guns, these might not be for you. I'm shooting $100 pistols and they work just great.

Why buy cheap, dirty pellets when you can get these quality well made pellets at a bargain price! I have gone the cheap route before and hesitated to buy these simply because of the low price point. However, these are not your typical inexpensive pellets. I use them in my Walther P-99 pellet pistol and it stacks them consistently into nice tight groups even shooting from standing free-handed. These are every bit as good as any of the expensive quality pellets.

The nose is a very low profile dome similar to the RWS Super Dome. The fit in the cylinders of the Walther P-99 is firm but not too tight. I have had absolutely no pellet creep with these. I also have not encountered any dirty, misformed or perceptible difference in head or skirt size. They all fit the chambers the same. I am really impressed with this product and will buy them as long as they continue to be of this quality. They really are the best value in a pellet I have ever encountered.

Great! Finally got after a back order wait. They are similar to the discontinued "Beeman Laser" .177's of years ago. Fit perfect in Crosman 1077 circular clip. also the T-4.Have'nt had time to test yet. All seem to be excellent production.

H & N pellets are the best . I tested the bigger brother pellet of The "Hammers" -.22 and it is awesome out of the 2240 and 2210.

Inexpensive wadcutter pellet from H&N, a brand I trust.

Nothing.

These shoot well in my HW30. Not as accurate as match pellets for sure, but great for plinking and informal shooting. The wadcutter design is fun to shoot at some targets: acorns hit with them tend to shatter, while domes pellets will frequently just punch through the acorn. Price for these can't be beat, especially with PA's buy 4 pay for 3 deal.

Inexpensive domed pellet from H&N, a brand I trust.

Nothing.

These fit snugly in the bore of my FWB124, and shoot well from that gun. They were too tight in my HW30, and were difficult to get into the bore. In the '124, they performed in the top half of all the pellets I tried (accuracy rank #10 out of 26 different pellets for accuracy). They're inexpensive for a domed pellet, and fine for informal plinking.

The Hammers carry on the great tradition of German quality control. I have tried 3 Excite styles and these are the best value.

Nothing

(1) The Spikes are great heavier pellets, thick skirts, nice points, high level manufacturing. Penetration-wise, and accuracy-wise, the slight dome on the Hammers perform well for piercing and hang close to the Spikes. The pros at the gun shop are believers in the dome for SHOCK and accuracy.

(2)The Coppa Spitz are too expensive to be in the Excite line. Not a bad pellet, the Spitz should be in the standard H&N line. The Hammer has it beat on price and is no less an equal in performance.

(3)Gamo Pro Magnums are the best Gamo ammo I have seen. But how tightly the Hammers group, ends that competition.

These pellets were very consistent in shape and they were very clean. I have not found any misformed pellets in my tin. I shot these at 16 yards in a Gamo Recon Whisper (525 fps) and the gun really liked these pellets. Shot groups were about the size of a quarter at 16 yards. For the price they are great for plinking and target shooting. I also shot them in a Gamo Shadow 640 at 16 yards and got nickel sized groups. For the price, these are pretty accurate pellets in low powered guns.

Nothing. These are really good pellets for plinking.

These pellets appear to be a cross between a wadcutter and a domed pellet. The head of the pellet looks alot like a wadcutter but it is slightly domed. I will use these for plinking, but will stick with the H&N Field Target Trophy for serious target shooting. I'm a big fan of H&N pellets and I'm glad to see these Excite Hammer pellets at a good price point.
