Fast shipping, liked that it hade a variety of pellets to try

Cost of shipping fir one tin of pellets. Shipping almost cost as much as the pellets, a lot of the pellets in this pack had damaged skirts. Better quality control on the variety pack

If ur gonna buy pellets call and order them. Buy more than 3. Also the lady at pyramyd air upgraded my shipping at no extra charge. Thank you pyramyd air

They're reasonably good quality, but...not really good enough for me.

These a purchased for test purposes to pick the best weight and diameter of a series of pellets. Guess what? Although clearly labeled 4.50mm and 4.52mm, none of them are even 4.50mm. Very disappointing as these were purchased to see if Umarex cylinder magazines (for say Smith & Wesson Revolvers) could manage to not drop pellets into your pocket or onto the bench while trying to appraise accuracy. Answer: They can't. What a waste of money. To be fair, this is just as much a problem with the after-market Umarex revolver-magazines as the pellets themselves. The Umarex magazines that come with the revolver seem to work just fine. However, the aftermarket ones (I would guess) are manufactured with worn-out tooling and have oversized and inconsistant bores. Not acceptable. They do seem to be good enough for my 1954 Winchester break-barrel plinker though...mini-Coke can at 10 feet...but that's about it. Big thumbs down on this product.

Don't buy this product.

Excellent pellets are all very accurate at 10 meters in my low power spring guns, even the pointed pellets.

The tin is fiddly for fingers of any size.

I was only interested in the domes, which were superbly accurate. The huge surprise was that the pointed pellets were fantastic too. I enjoyed this assortment so much that I gave the .22 caliber version to my buddy as a gift.

A easy way to try different pellets to find what works best for your gun.

A screw on lid would be nice.

Give them a shot.

One of the best ways to find your .177's favorite pellet. Sampler packs are the way to go when getting to know any air rifle. As it happens the 10.3 grain jsb's have turned my little daisy 880 into a reliable .5 inch gun at 25 yards. Ill keep the rest of the pellets for testing my next purchase from pyramid air.

Offer sampler packs based on head diameter of best selling pellets.

JSB should be at the top of your list for pellet experimentation.

The option to buy many different pellets all in one container.

The lid could fit a little tighter.

Good way to find your magic pellet.

1. Pellet size uniformity seems very good. Fired 6 pellets from bench rested air rifle - all fit into a 1.25 inch circle at 25 yd. My old brand fit into a 2 inch circle. Some of the dispersion may have been due to me. 2. Pyramyd Air sold 4 packs for the price of 3. Nice deal.

The cans might be more secure with a screw type lid. This lid comes off pretty easily and it might be easy to have a spill.

Pyramyd Air has a "chat line" button. I used it and the fellow recommended the sampler since I wasn't sure what to try. I was interested in trying something different since my old brand seemed to suffer from size variation. The folks at Pyramyd Air are pretty helpful. I recently had my air pistol repaired by them and am very pleased with their service.

Good mix of pellets to try

Container sucks. Easy to get the pellets mixed up and only marked on the lid for the type of pellet.

I like the choice in one container.

I think a higher quality sampler would be nice. Havent found one yet. I really want to try high-end pellets in my rifles. I have found a few in this sampler that were squished or mis-shaped.

Good pellets for testing your rifle's eating habits.

Saved me from a pellet emergency! Needed JSB Heavy 10.3 and you(as well as others) were out of stock.

The box, unmarked and for those of us with less than "Eagle Eyes" hard to discern one from other.

Top pops off, watch out.

Good stuff, well made, no defects. PERFECT for a new air rifle...a MUST have.

I got these to try with a new RWS 34P Pro Compact. After putting a few hundred pellets through it for seasoning, I tested 20+ types of pellets in 10 shot groups at 15 yards using a front bag rest. Exact 8.4 grain, excellent and consistent dime size groupings. Exact Heavy 10.3 grain, consistent dime and nickel size groupings. Exact RS 7.3 grain, quarter size groupings. Straton 8.3 grain, quarter size groupings with 2-3 flyers.

The packaging is adequate if you are careful with it, but the lid can pop off if you are not. JSB does put padding in each mini-compartment and under the lid. Although I figured it out, better describing which pellet is which type would be helpful.

These are all 4.52 mm in the Test Sampler. JSB does make 4.51 mm and 4.50 mm that may perform better in some guns.

It was good to find test samples.

I just bought a Gamo Whisper Fusion Pro and was getting bizarre results with our selection of "ordinary" pellets. Using the sampler I settled on JSB Match Diabolo Exact Heavy, 4.52mm head, 10.3 grain. Consistent in 2" at 50 yards. Apparently, I'm not the only one making this selection as you are out of stock.

As a new air gunner, I wanted to try different pellet types. This is a great sampler kit!

Screw top lid.

Variety of pellets in one 'tin'.

Make a solid top and put a 5th type of pellet in the tin.

Shot from tuned Airhawk; Stratons and ExHvy performed the best, with a slight edge to the Stratons (which aren't available on PA right now).

great test sampler wieghts are very good tight groups from my gamo varmit hunter hp

I'm no airgun expert but these things shoot very, very well out of my RWS 34.

I am not crazy about the container. It's hard to pinch them to get them out... So far I have not lost any - I put some scotch tape around the spinning top to keep it from openening.

The heavy pellets work the best (tried 3 out of the four so far). I shot them on a gusty day and was able to create my best groups EVER at 35 yards. I even pushed out to 50 yards on this windy day and did OK.

Good to try a variety of shapes when you're first learning to shoot an air pistol. I seem to do well with the lighter ones

make it so the cover snaps into place more securely - I'm always afraid it's going to fall and open, spilling all four pellet types and mixing them together

If you're going to get started (and I'm just getting started), try a variety of pellets. At first, you won't know what the difference is, but as you practice more, you might begin to notice that you do better with some than with others

The variety, now I know that my Daisy 901 doesn't like anything under 7.5gr, it prefers the Exacts in this sampler of 8.2 and 8.4gr . No trouble busting a 2 liter full of shaken soda at 15 yards and accurate at 20 yards in my gun. I plan on reusing the box once I shoot all the pellets , storing the majority of whichever pellet I decide on.

Price for 400 pellets is a little high, but for the money it's not a complete turn off, I mean hey, I bought some, LOL.

When they say to try out the sampler pack(s), just do it, it'll save you time and $$$ down the road and you'll be sighted in in no time. Oh, super fast shipping and great phone customer service!

It's a good way to test a variety of pellets without having to buy a larger tin.

Include a wadcutter and up the total quantity to 500.

Some of these pellets fit snuggly into the breach. I don't know if that's a good thing or not (being new to air gunning). It seems to me that if the pellet is too tight in the barrel, that both velocity and accuracy will suffer. I believe the 'heavys' are too heavy for a rifle less than 1000 fps. My Stoeger Arms X5 Air Rifle seems to prefer lighter rounds.
