Nothing

Price and accuracy

Price is quite high for pellets and accurracy was poor in Daisy 853 and Hammerli Storm Elite. Were taliking 1+ inch groups at 10 meters.

I like the original shape and the looks of this pellet. Good accuracy and awesome penetration. Overall an awesome pellet to shoot.

make this same shape in a heavier weight.

Works best in air guns with FPS of 500 or more.

clean(no lead),easy to see your shot grouping,good penetration.

Accuracy, speed, penetration.

I wouldn't change this pellet but I would make different variations of it with a softer steel center and a heavier outer.

The plastic outside has no penetrating quality whatsoever, it just sheds off on impact. The center point goes through everything and is found completely undamaged. You can recover both sections from a pellet trap and put them back together.

Package snaps shut and stays shut. Nice size. Will use this package over and over again

Overall length a little shorter

these didn't fit in my IZH 61 clip, too long, couldn't shoot any of them

lead-free, price at PyramydAir.com, no metal contact with barrel, accurate, versatile, excellent penetration

better quality control

Examine these pellets before shooting: 1. About one pellet in 300 has a bent sabot that can jam an airgun. Properly dispose of these evidently defective pellets. 2. About one pellet in 6 has its metal nose not firmly seated into its plastic sabot. To understand this problem, remove the nose from one pellet. Notice that the back end of the nose is flat, thus acting as a piston in the cylindrical bore of the sabot. So with a pellet in which the nose is not firmly seated into its sabot at the factory, when this pellet is shot, the sabot will catch up to the nose, and the nose will bounce forward and separate from the sabot after leaving the barrel. Neither sabot nor nose is stable separately. The sabot can be seen to spin off to one side, while the nose tumbles forward --as other reviewers have commented. (I am not recommending anything other than examination of this product; PyramydAir.com prohibits recommendations for product alterations.) Next, notice that the front end of the nose is pointed, as is suitable for a field pellet. If the pointed end of the nose were in the sabot, the piston-cyclinder bounce would be eliminated, and the flat end of the nose would cut a crisp 0.125" hole in target paper. 3. Further, notice that the metal nose is hard and could potentially pose a ricochet hazard. Finally, properly dispose of the pellet parts that you have examined.

This is very cool, the pellets do give much more power and destruction than normal pellets, I can say it's awesome!

More pellets per package

I am using a crosman T4 with this and it work very well but make sure your Co2 is still on "high" level, when I am left with not enough Co2, these doesn't shoot well enough. I say first 2-3 clips of the T4 is fine, but after that, you need to use normal pellets to use those leftover co2.

That they are lead free , pretty accurate and they really are hyper velocity pellets , I can tell by the sound of them , I know that sound weird but it is much louder than most other pellets , I have a gamo socom tactical and i love it , its my favorite gun,,, anyway You will know what i mean about the louder sound when you shoot them

The price , They are kinda expensive maybe lower the price or put more in the tin

They are not made of lead , they are very accurate and they really are hyper velocity pellets

These are definitely for hunting, and are great under 300' but you may find accuracy hard to manage. They are light so they get super-sonic out of most magnum rifles that shoot 1000fps or higher. But close in range they are accurate and hard hitting. Check how they hit a box, the pellet goes through and the orange plastic portion will embed on the outside. Be careful what you shoot at, these can ricochet!

Sell larger packages for a good price.

Try all the different types of these Skenco Green ammo pellets to see which best suits your gun or hunting preference.

Penetrated like nothing else, good speed and accuracy under 15 yards.

About 10% had minor flash on the plastic skirt, not much but enough to cause a good off-course pellet.

DO NOT use in anything that will shoot it above about 600 FPS, any deformations in the skirt will hurt downrange accuracy, far more than I thought even. Although it was neat to see the bad ones I picked out go downrange like a bent arrow to the berm 200' away, it didn't inspire confidence that I could hunt with the good ones, even when allowing for zero expansion. Good for punching holes in your object of choice, but not a lot else.

lightweight and quiet

put a skirt around the point where the plastic and metal meet so it does a bit more damage to a target

These are a rather unique shot because when they hit a target the plastic skirting stops and it literally injects the metal "bullet" into the target. I wouldn't use these on anything bigger than a fat squirrel or a rat. They don't have a very deep penetration as they are so light, even when fired out of a high pressure air rifle. For my test I used a Ruger Air Hawk. BTW.... an excellent and accurate gun.

insane penetration hi velocity quality all around

none

How they look, these guys are nice to show off to friends who don't no what pellets are. It kinda, raises their respect for 'pellet' guns. (considering that these look like bullets)

Accuracy! Price! And [the fact that the orange back ALWAYS pops off] Just like PBA ammo, these fire 2-3 inches from the bullseye. I mean come on! I can get 1\4 in groupings (from 6-16yd) with daisy cheap-o wadcutters! You might be able to set your sights to make these fire okayyy.... but you won't be able to fire any other kind of pellet accurately.

These guys BARELY fit in my 880 rifle, as well as my 357 revolver clip. As I said with PBA ammo, these may fire 20% faster than regular pellets, but they are 20% less accurate.

These are G-R-R-E-A-T!!! pellet's. All of my .177 shooter's do extremely well with these round's. In my Gamo Recon, my muzzle velocity went from 540fps w/ Remington Field Point's to 740fps, that's an Incredible increase of 37% in velocity!. They are an extremely accurate round as well, with terrific penetration.

Other than bringing down the price a tad, Nothing!

I reccomend using these round's in Sub-FAC a/g's, In my modded XS-B4-2A I achieve Rim-Fire velocities of 1250-1300fps from 900fps using H&N Spitz-Kugeln's(8.64gr.). I've taken Rabbit's, and Squirrel's with these round's, A good hunting pellet, that's environmentaly friendly.

Very accurate at close range. Sabot discarded cleanly in my target materials. And I won't buy lead any more...

I would do without the plastic. I really liked the container which stayed closed nicely in my pocket. (Pyramyd wrapped them and some other pellets I ordered in shrink wrap for shipping.)

Buy "JSB Diabolo Exact .177 Cal, 8.4 Grains, Domed, 500/Tin" instead. Cheaper per pellet, better, no plastic, still no lead. This pellet still might be great for a CO2 repeater at close range.

Penetration is VERY impressive.

Packaging isn't the greatest, as the container popped open in transit to me. Price is a bit high, but that is to be somewhat expected.

While a bit on the expensive side, I found them to be acceptably accurate. I think they are a bit light to use in my magnums, but in my intermediate rifles, I'm quite happy.

lead free,the thought its nice

everything but the plastic

the down range sucks,but the penatration its at its best..

PERFORMANCE: low weight + low friction plastic sabot = high velocity = flat trajectory SHAPE: These pelets are very uniform. None of the ones I used were dented or scratched. OTHER: They contain no lead

PERFORMANCE: These were very innacurate in my target rifle. The average 5-shot group was around 2 inches at 10 yards. DO NOT HUNT SQUIRRELS WITH THESE! I have three reasons: 1.) Overpenetration! 2.) These pellets don't expand whatsoever! 3.) the steel part is only .12 caliber; this is too small to do a significant ammount of damage to a squirrel! (The orange plastic sabot falls away on impact) SHAPE: The lack of a waist on these pellets makes them unstable. A few had cracks in their sabots.

The slow speed of my target rifle allows me to see the pellet as it flies. I was apalled to see a pellet spiraling erratically at long range. Thinking that I must have shot a deffective pellet, I tested a few more and they all did the same thing! TRY BUYING A TIN OF BEEMAN LASERS INSTEAD!

low weight, which means HIGH velocity!! :)

Shape of plastic body - absolutely "anti-aerodynamics"! Not too great accuracy, but suprisingly GOOD...

BIG PROBLEM: 5% to 10% have cracked plastic - which means lost accuracy.

Amazing penetration shot straight through my french school workbook

maybe different alloy to ease the ricos but otherwise they were good

no so accurate at longer ranges and there are some dangerous ricos so wear some goggles or something
