Page 5 - RWS Hobby .177, .177 Reviews

I honstly can't find much not to like about the RWS Hobby pellets. They are my standard pellet to shoot daily out of my Bronco's and Crosman Challenger 2000. These are an accurate and consistent practice pellet.

Nothing.

Hobby's seem to be one of the best all around target practice pellets that shoot well out of all my rifles.

Very uniform product from pellet to pellet. I use these in my RWS DIANA air pistol and they accuracy is outstanding.

Nothing.

The pellets visually appeared consistent and well-formed. Despite looks, I had a flier once out of every 8-10 shots. I imagine the light weight and high power might have had something to do with it. Heavier pellets perform better in my RWS 34.

The lid on the tin pops off very easily. I would like to see it changed to a screw top.

We had a difficult time getting these to seat well in my son's Crosman Optimus. No matter how hard we pushed, a little of the skirt would stick out and get crushed/deformed when closing the barrel.

High quality product made in Germany nuff said.

Nothing

accuracy. accuracy best pellet ive found for consistant accuracy. great price. get this pellets if you want accuracy.

nothing

some people want to shoot doomes, and pointed pellets. ive tried all of them. but the wad cutter is the most accurate pellet out there. ive taken every type of game with this pellet. with the speed of a .177 theres no need to use the doomes or other pointed. you must get these pellets. there fantastic. these are the only pellets i use.

Well made, good quality with rarely a damaged pellet in the package

A screw lid on the tin would prevent the top from popping off.

Striped skirts help it expand in the barrel and get the full charge...allowing better target hits.

Very good practice pellet for the money. Accurate and consistant enough for fairly tight groups.

These pellets are a little rougher than I like and have a tighter fit in the chamber than I like in some of my airguns.

Consistant weight and size. Groups as will as match pellets costing twice as much. Light weight preferred for air pistols.

A screw on lid would be nice.

Great wadcutters for lower velocity guns. They shoot great out of both my HW30S and my FWB300S. Perfect for indoor basement target shooting. For fun target shooting I can't justify match grade wadcutters at twice the price. I would change to a tighter breech seal to shoot these rather than shoot the match grade paper punchers.

Maybe make the weight differences a little smaller but that would make it a match grade pellet and increase the price. On second thought just leave them alone.

They also do one heck of a number on a starling where my HW97 etc just whistle right through them. The flat wadcutter hits hard and gives moderate penetration. Not too hot for longer distances as they don't fight the wind well at all.

Very clean and consistent pellets. Very accurate. No defects in an entire tin of 500! I shot 1/2 inch groups with open sights at 18 yards.

Screw-on lids would be nice.

You have to crimp the can lids to get them to stay tight. For the price, these are excellant. I have tried many pellet brands and I am switching to RWS pellets exclusively!

Very consistent. Gave the best groupings.

Nothing

These are good quality plinking pellets. I use Hobby as my standard pellet for testing airgun performance with my chronograph.

Nothing

Not the cheapest, but definitely very well made with excellent conformity.

They seem fairly uniform.

Perhaps they could be made to fit a magazine without pushing them in place with a pencil eraser or some other object. I would expect better from RWS. There is a reason why these are the cheap RWS pellets.

If you notice your gun/trigger jamming while using these pellets, remove your magazine and take a close look. Chances are the pellets are not fully seated and the skirt is protruding slightly above the magazine. Push them in with a pencil eraser---you'll feel them pop into place. The RWS Meisterkugeln pellets fit perfectly by pressing into place with your fingers. They cost a lot more, but are much better fit and accuracy.

The accuracy and the price.

Nothing

I use them in my pellet pistols. They work fine. Sometimes my hold is not that steady but they go where you aim. I mostly do target shooting in my basement.

High quality ammo for a reasonable price. I haven't found a single deformed pellet yet in the 1500+ rounds that I have shot so far.

Nothing

The buy 3 get one free deal that Pyramid Air offers is great!

These pellets reflect typical German quality, there are no casting marks at all like Crossmans have and for the price at Pyramydair are a real buy with the 4th tin at no charge and the excellent packaging you know they will arrive in perfect condition...

not a thing

get some!!

accurate, good value

nothing

Great pellet flies pretty straight, not too many damaged ones in a container.

Nothing

These pellets fit well in the Umerex 8 shot clips, but some are a little loose the Match10 pellets fit much tighter.

Clean and very accurate in my Walther lever action rifle.

Not a thing.

Well, something I'd like to know...how they do in other pellet guns. I intend to test them out.

These are alright. They are slightly larger on the skirt and fit quite tight in my Gamo PT85 clip. A little too tight for me.

I can't see that they are anymore accurate than the Crosman wadcutters I've been shooting.
