RWS Hyper Velocity, .22 Reviews

Great concept, horrible accuracy

To make them accurate.

Can hit a pop an at 5 yards the groups are so big in my browning 800 22 cal and they shoot 3 inch plus groups at 23 yards in my Walther talon nitro piston rifle. Waste of money unless you get a thrill of shooting through metal at 5 feet for kicks.

nothing

These do not fly straight, shot them out of 3 different rifles.

Quality control isn't so hot dimensional consistency isn't there. Some pellets almost drop right thru the barrel other you can barely get into the barrel. Highly inaccurate in my rifle. Cost about 10 cent a pellet. Not good in my Benjamin prowler.

Shoots nice

Nothing

These pellets are grossly innaccurate, as I found in several rifles/pistols. The skirts are too narrow and alnost fall through the barrel. Yes they are lighter and faster but have far less muzzle energy.

Dont waste your money buying them.

Had to shave the tip down to make it fit in my Hatsan elite.22 Shot it and it almost went through 2 - 3/4" plywood boards. Was impressive but stinks that I have to shave pellet.

These pellets will not work on the Hatsan PCP magazines. It's about a millimeter too long!!

They look nice, and come in a convenient plastic container

Inconsistently sized.

The pellets fit very inconsistently, anywhere from kind of snug to loose. The result is inconsistent accuracy and velocity. I shot them through my chrony out of my Umarex Octane, and got velocities anywhere from 675 to 785 feet per second. I shot some Crosman Premier Hollowpoints for comparison, and velocities were from 837.5 to 850.1. How can you call these "Hyper Velocity" when they shoot slower than a lead pellet that weighs 2.5 grains more?

They are fast!

I don't care for the plastic...

Be careful in rifled barrels, I have had a few rounds were the plastic has shredded coming out of the barrel at high velocity...My concern is they may be tumbling down range!

No lead. Light weight. Will penetrate skull bone.

These pellets bounce

I test a lot of pellets. I have 4 different air guns.Using my pellet of choice with a 3X9X40AO scope on my Umarex Octane at 55 yards I cluster within a 3/4 bulls eye. Even adjusting for this pellets weight I can't even hit my target. The pellet itself hardly stays in the barrel. Extremely loose fit no wonder I cant hit anything with it

Work on its size to achieve a better fit

I would not recommend this pellet to anyone Sorry folks I call it as I see it

Nothing

Terrible pellet, at least when used in an RWS 460 22. Group was 4-6 inches at 25 yards and velocity SPREAD was over 100 FPS in the 8 pellets tested. Do not buy!

Good for target practice but they have very little penetrating power.

These should not be used for hunting.

They look cool

Did not work well in my weirauch hw30. Fit real loose in the breech and were extremely erratic. Not accurate. Will not buy them again, but they may work better in other rifles because all barrels are different.

This are positively the best pellet I have ever shot! The accuracy is usually excellent although the odd shot goes off. The speed and penetration is PHENOMENAL! Blows THROUGH cans no problem. Nice clean entry and exit. Goes 2-3mm counter sunk into a 2x4! Almost disappears into the wood. Better than ANY other pellet!

More pellets would be nice.

Watch out for ricochets! These bounce off hard!

Great penetration and lead-free; actually made with stainless steel core!!!

Nothing

Will stray/start to loose elevation after around 50yrds with high powered pellet rifle or in high winds.

They fly straight,

they are light and strikely for target no real energy behind them.

The sabboted bullets are not a new concept by any means, I have a 50 cal black powder that will shoot up to 250 yards accurately with out a problem with a sabboted bullet. This is a little different but not much, the case or sabot stays with the bullet in this case where the one in the black powder falls off. Very fast shooting but not accurate in my Benji.

Make them a little heavier, I think this would improve the accuracy.

With the right application this could be a great pellet.

I like the shape, weight, metal tip and the creativity (read below for details)

I cant think of anything.

I was really surprised with the accuracy of these lightweight pellets, not only that it had excellent accuracy and not just for a lightweight. Now for the creativity that i liked, you can pull the metal out of the green plastic and kind of make your own pellets. For example, i took it out, cut up some of my least favored pellets and pushed them down inside of the green part. Im not sure of the accuracy of these "homemade pellets" because i tested them at close range (~5yards) but its just something cool to do. But the pellets are very well made the way they are.
My review is based off the performance of a Gamo Bone Collector Bull Whisper

this pellet has alot to offer and i have enjoyed using it. very accurate and has the capability of dropping varmints about as large as crow. i was impressed by this cylinder pellet

maybe increace the size of the ballistic tip to fully use the plastic base this may increase the weight but also the stopping power as well

shooting this pellet out of a benjamin nitro piston rifle.

I haven't shot enough of these to state my final opinion,but I have tested them shooting into five inch thick wax based modeling clay with my (950fps) Benjamin Titan GT at 15 yards.My results were about 80% penetration of the metal bullet;with the plastic casing left behind at 3/4 inches of penetration.No damage to plastic casing(accept for rifling marks), or metal bullet.
