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

A truly heavy pellet for varmints in .177. Single round fired into heavy modeling clay showed deep channel but virtually no expansion with Beeman P-1 pistol. Travel in clay was nearly 2".

These things need to come with a pellet sizer (a rare commodity these days). I happen to have a Gilles sizer and reworked a tin of these that were given to me by a friend who could not get these to work on in a Benjamin XL Nitro Piston rifle. My friend didn't have a sizer.

I note that the disappointed reviewers all sought to size these large diameter pellets using some form of pellet seat tool. One actually needs a sizer to fit these to the breech properly. Good luck finding a sizer these days!

Shape and mass of pellet. Looks like a small bullet.

Fit. Pellets were tight in my old school '82 Crossman 760. 6/6 pellets jammed. Wouldn't fire with maximum pumps. Couldn't use these.

The Shape and mass! But, BECAREFUL! Dangerously inaccurate!

Accuracy! Accuracy! Accuracy!

Dangerously inaccurate with my AirForce CONDOR! with in 20 meter target! I will post some pix of the target shortly!

I was wanting a heavy pellet, and it is. I will try another type next time.

The .177 cal needs closer quality control. I've shot about 100 of these and every one had to be forced into the barrel. If I didnt use a a piece of brass to finish pushing in, and closed the action it would deform the pellet base. That would seat it but you had more flyaways. Micrometer measurements, head =.1780"-.1793" and tails=.1815"-.1831 on 20 pellets.

Using a Gamo Hunter rated 1000/1200fps. Also I think some of shots made must have been below 400 fps, asides from being all over the place at 25yds. SAme shooting the copper FTS ammo shoots a dime at 25yds every time.

The shape

To heavy for a .177 the pellet would drop over 50 ft badly which made me hit a car

Not got for far away hunting only for like close ranges

Tight bore fit, high mass

Needs to fly straight

Dangerously inaccurate with my Daisy 880 pump. Could not consistently hit the backstop, could not find target paper much less the bullseye.

I would like to know exactly what guns can actually use this ammo - its not the 880

they look cool , almost like a bullet.They do penatrate deeper than EUN JIN pellets because of the pointed tip and the lead is harder than the eun jins.

The price seriously expensive , and terrable accuracy . I donno why they so inaccurate because they look so well made.i usualy get like 2 good shots then a flyer .so lower price improve accuracy !!

please dont use heavy 15+ gr pellets in springer air guns!they dont benafit form they weight of these pellets all you gonna get is the same energy out of your gun with a massive point of impact drop!!!!! unless you have a GAMO hunter or a springer that could break your sholder off.Seriously though if you want a heavy pellet with alot of energy Rather go for EUN JIN pellets MY dynamax loves them but hates these Rabbits .

Look nice.

Maybe pellet shape to make these more accurate.

These pellets did not group very well coming out of my Benjamin Discovery .177. Like the tin shows, Precision is only a 3 out of 5. I also shot the Eunjin 16.1's and the grouped way better then these rabbit magnum's.

look nice..

shape?

I cant get a decent group with this pellet and my Talon at 760 fps. It get a BIG groups at 10 yards (almost 1"). Im Dissapointed about this pellet I prefer Eunjin

I have had no luck with these pellets, even out of my Crosman Challenger groups were over an inch at 10 meters. Out of the QB 78 and the Crosman 2260 SE The groups got even larger. They penetrate well because of their size and weight but that's no good if you can't hit what your aiming at.

The shape ?

Thes might be fun if you like to experiment but that's the only good thing I can say about them.

Bought these as try-out in an RWS P5 springer - didn't work at all! I like the shape concept, if they worked!

These a too large in the skirt dia. to fit down the bore of an RWS P5 springer. Possibly a listing of the head & skirt dia.s in the advertising description.

These required the use of a seating tool to insert into the breech of the bore on an RWS P5 springer. When shot, these did not even clear the bore, they had to be removed from the barrel with the use of a ram-rod. (My micro indicated an aver. skirt dia. of .1842 in. - for what that's worth.)

only fit in my gamo rifle

it did't fit in Benjamin Trail NP XL

Impact was great.

Diametrical tolerance didn't seem to have the same quality as other H&N pellets.

After getting great groupings from the 10.65gr, I was expecting the same from these heavier pellets and didn't get it after over 100 shots.

Nothing.

To heavy, does not load easily, can't hit a target at 60 feet

Shape, weight, the overall look

they are slightly too big for my crosman storm xt as well as my crosman phantom

i was not grouping them at all at 15yds. worst pellets ive ever bought

The Price keeps me coming back

A little faster with mailing. It's not bad as it is.

Hard to find .177 pellets. biggest selection.

shape weight

the dont fit into barrel and if u force them in you lose fps cuz its such a tight fit

they didnt fit my break barrel beeman dual cal in .177

The shape, the mass!

Improve quality control to give more uniformity from pellet to pellet

I am shooting a Gamo CFX equipped with a Crosman Nitro Piston, GRT-III trigger and a Leapers 4-12x44 Mini SWAT scope. Shooting at a target 25 yards away, I was getting a grouping of about six inches. It is true that I have just had the piston installed and am not used to the way the gun is shooting now, but just before I tested these pellets, I was getting a one inch group with JSB Exacts.

These are not pellets. They are bullets. They are also very nicely crafted.

Though these pellets must bite the rifling hard since they are entirely dependent on the rifling twist for stabilization, I think they could be a bit less snug to lessen friction and gain a little more velocity without affecting accuracy. It would be nice to see P/A include rifling twist rates in the product specs. Two things I have not seen listed in any airgun product catalog for many years are pellet seats and pellet sizers. I would like to see them make a come-back.

These are specialty pellets and not compatible with all air rifles. I would not consider them for air rifles with a delicate action. Direct access to the breech would be best. These pellets fit so snugly I use a high tech pellet seat (an1/8" pop rivet on a makeshift handle) to insert them to a uniform depth in the bore of my 25 y/o RWS M45. Accuracy was not as good as I had hoped for but I cannot put a bum rap on these beautiful pellets. I suspect that my old rifle just did not quite have a fast enough twist rate to stabilize them fully. These pellets are not a "diabolo" (wasp-waisted) design so there is no aerodynamic drag at the rear of the pellet to help them fly true. A good diabolo pellet is inherently accurate and will shoot accurately even from a smooth bore air gun due to this rear end drag, however it also puts the brakes on like a dragster with the parachute out. The Rabbit Magnums may start out with a lower velocity due to the weight and friction, but will conserve momentum more efficiently and carry much farther than a diabolo type pellet, which is an important safety consideration. So if your "adult airgun" (as Beeman used to call them) was made at or before the dawn of magnum pellets try the heaviest pellet you can find with a skirt and you should be fine. I have a tin of Eunjin pellets that I have not tried or commented on yet, however they look identical to the old Beeman Silver Ace that always shot fabulously from my tired old air rifle.

These pellets work great on little critters. Nice shape easy to load in single shot rifle.

I would put them in a better tin with a more secure lid to keep from spilling.

These did not work well in my Colt 1911 Government. Then My CO2 got low they
would not exit the bore,or the mag.
