Page 6 - RWS Superdome .22, .22 Reviews

Shoots very well and accurate in my modified Crosman 2240 pistol, and the same in my 1957 Crosmen 400 Repeater.

Nothing

Clean pellets, very few defects

Very, very little. These pellets ( at least the ones not discarded as defective) generally grouped poorly in both my RWS 48 and RWS 54. At 14.5 gr they are probably a little light for these rifles. In contrast, under the same shooting conditions, JSB 15.9 gr and 18.1 gr. were consistently accurate, yielding tight groups.

Quality control: RWS should invest in some type of quality initiative beyond “I hope these work” or “It’s good ‘nuf” if it wants to compete with the “big boys” in the pellet industry. The quantity of unusable pellets in the factory sealed tin I received was bewildering.

This review is not exactly timely (purchase was back in April) and is leaning against popular opinion, but here’s my takeaway. Out of a tin of 250 ct. pellets, there were 40 defectives (bent skirts, and worse). Though one tin of pellets is hardly a sufficient sample size to base any conclusions, a stand alone short term Six Sigma quality level for this lot, if not representative of the entire batch, would be 2.5. Terrible. Shame on RWS or their designated manufacturer. Secondly, I don’t think it is wise to assume that an RWS branded pellet is/was designed to be optimized for its use in an RWS branded air rifle. These pellets may be accurate in SOME model RWS rifles, and not nearly so in other RWS models.
Like wise, an RWS branded pellet may work better in a competitors rifle than any other brand. I think these pellets should be ranked for what they are, an inexpensive generic 14 gr domed pure lead pellet. On its own merits, I would not have bought this pellet in the first place except that it carried the RWS logo, and I had just recently bought an RWS rifle. I certainly wouldn’t buy Ford tires just because I had bought a Ford pick-up.

They seem to fit well in my 34. All the pellets were in good condition no bent skirts.

screw on lid please.

These work well with my 34.

I used these pellets in my Diana 34. At 60 feet in my basement I was hitting within an inch of the bullseye nine out of ten shots. When Mr. Bunny made the mistake of showing himself eating my plants in the front yard he paid the price quickly and cleanly. They are uniform in shape.

Nothing

You can get these at the local national outdoor chains but they cost almost twice what pyramid charges.

Somewhat consistent fit, accuracy, clean pellets.

More pellets for the price. Make them in 5.52 or 5.53 for a tighter fit.

Tried these because the reviews stated that they shot well out of the Crosman and Benjamin Nitro Gas Piston air rifles. They grouped way better than the Crosman pellets out of my Benjamin Titan NP .22 Turned it into a tack driver out to 20 to 25 yards. Some mention the absence of screw on lid, just transfer them into an empty tin with a screw on lid, problem solved. They are my new favorite plinking pellet.

Very accurate in my RWS Diana 34 .22. Consistent size with clean skirts. Fit well in barrel

Screw on lid.

The number one catalog sporting goods store charges almost double what Pyramid does for these but don't let Pyramid know or they'll jack up the price. I tried some H&N Baracudas in same gun and they were all over the target and jammed twice. With Superdomes I was hitting dime size bullseyes at forty feet about 75% of time with rest within a half inch.

Pretty clean and consistant

Screw on lid. Less expensive

These are fastest in my D34. Even faster than lighter JSB's. They are accurate too.

cost and accuracy .

nothing .

performs well in Hatsan 85 sniper

exelent short and long distance

nithing

exelent for hunting and targets to

Nice well made pellets go well with my RWS Diana .22 cal.

Make a larger tin at a better price.

Might be the pellets you have been searching for.

With air rifles Whisper IGT .22 and Air Ordnance SMG accuracy and power is great. Whisper will easily shoot .5" groups at 25+ yards. With SMG this will knock cans down with awesome effect at up to 30 yards. Air pistols 1322 and 2240 are also accurate at up to 25 yards easily knocking cans down.

Bring back the 500 count tin.

If you have a .22 airgun and need a good hunting, plinking, or even sighting in a scope pellets you need to try these.

consistant

larger tin, screw-on lid

My Benj Trail NP REALLY likes these. stackers!

Very accurate in my Diana 34.

Nothing really.

These are as accurate as anything I've shot in my Diana 34, however they will not group in my Samatra 2500R. A good pellet but not for all rifles.

Everything. Definitely the best pellet for my Diana 34.

Nothing.

I've tried Crossman Premiere, Benjamin Discovery and Beeman pellets, but the Superdome is no doubt the best.

What can be said except extreme accuracy, excellent knock down power,and German quality!

Nothing

When you want quality,this is the product for you!

Consistent shape. Absolutely NO deformed skirts or heads, that I've seen. Clean.

offer different head sizes? (though this would totally change the pricing structure, so I guess it doesn't really help...) Screw-top lid.

Though these pellets aren't "bad", they're definitely not "good" in my XS25 .22. I know I'm still not the best shot, by any measure, but these simply don't group as well as H&N FTTs (5.54 head) in my gun. I had a very experienced airgunner shoot my rifle with these and the FTTs: FTTs gave a ragged hole at 18 yards, and these Superdomes gave a loose group (just under 1 inch.

I would still recommend these pellets as a top-three "test pellet selection" for any new medium-powered springer, especially with German guns, or any clones.

(They did MUCH better in my father's QB79 HPA conversion (1100psi, with a .25" cloverleaf at 20 yards. I'm rating these pellets on their performance in my gun, however, so the two-star selection applies to the results with the XS25.)

Nice pellets.No damage at all.Too bad my Trail NP doesn't like them.

nothing.

If your gun likes these I highly recommend them.Nice shape,good weight,nice packageing.

Best pellet I found for my Benjamin 392 and daisy 22sg

500 per tin

Keep trying others, always end up with these. Both my pumpers love these and also super h points

These seem to be very uniform in size. They fit snug but not tight in my Benji 392. They are the most accurate pellets I've tried so far.

I'd put more pellets in the tin for the same price.

These shoot very well in my Benji 392 which is pellets fussy.

Good ballistics and trajectories with fresh CO2 cartridge. Excellent value.
