Page 2 - RWS Superpoint Extra, .177 Reviews

These pellets, as with all RWS pellets I have tried, are by far the best made pellet I have used. Each is a work of a craftsman. Just opening the tin and looking inside gives me the impression that there is nothing they can't do. The size and weight are always held to extremely close tolerances.

The only complaint I have is the ballistics of a pointed pellet. I have tried pointed pellets since H&N sold those beautiful bright silver hunting pellets back in the '70's. All the pointed pellets I have used aren't accurate enough for anything other than plinking at close range.....and I have used them in several styles and power level guns.... Another problem is that they over-penetrate. If I shoot a rabbit with a pointed pellet, it normally exits. Wad-cutters usually transfer all their energy to the target, and they do it accurately. The only advantage to the point is greater range. A pellet with a skirt has no potential for range in the first place so it is sort of a waste of time to use them.

I bought these in an effort to find something, anything, that would shoot well in my NPS. I suppose it isn't RWS's fault that the NPS is a POS. If I wasn't struggling to find accuracy in the NPS, I wouldn't have even bothered with a pointed pellet.

Very good quality,and very clean pellets,good price,consistand shape,and size,but doesnt work well in my crosman reaven,but shoots well in my other air rifles,QUEST 1000,GAMO FISION,AND MY NITRO VENOM.

NADA,RWS HAVE VERY GOOD PELLETS

GET THEM,

These pellets are well worth the price. They make a difference in guns that are sensitive to pellet types. I noticed a marked improvement with my Beeman P17. The pellets have a smooth,uniform finish and are very consistent in shape. No deformed skirts.

The pellets are fine, but the tin needs to have a screw-on lid. The tins come with a wrap of tape that doesn't look like it would stand up to repeated use. I substituted a length of vinyl tape that can be reused many times. Why do the cheap pellets come in tins with screw-on lids, and the more expensive ones don't?

The PA 4 for 3 deal is hard to beat. I buy pellets a tin at a time locally just to try them, then order a bunch from PA. The 4 for 3 deal makes the pellets cheaper on a per-unit basis, even after paying shipping. PA does a good job shipping these on a timely basis without damage.

I think good quality

Not sure

I shot these out of my benjamin Titan np .177. I've shot about 1000 shots by now with 4 kinds of pellets and these have been among the least accurate so far. About 4" at 20 yds. I have been getting 1" groups with meisterkuglns.

Pointy little things that will pierce right into a goalie blocker which I shoot with these, PENETRATION like crazy.

nothing, good for what it is

hunting will be a 1 shot kill with these

500 pellets in a tin, good overall condition of pellets. Excellent value for money, plenty of energy for hunting small critters; such as, muskrats, pigeons, gophers and many other nuisance critters. In fact, on squirrels - these bad boys have a tendency of going through one side and out the other.

Nothing. They are very good quality for everything from target practice to hunting. An excellent all around pellet for daily shooting.

Your hands will get dirty from loading the pellets into air rifle breach but that's ok. Make sure to wash your hands after using the washroom and handling these pellets!

Nothing so far. I've tried after sighting in after I did for the 8.2 Meisters and these were all over the place. When I get some time I'll give it a shot but I couldn't just go from one to the other with any kind of consistency.

Make them more consistent with the RWS 8.2 line.

very consistant, very accurate, well priced, what more could you ask for?

nothing

fantastic all around pellet when shot out of my .177 gamo whisper. whether you hunt or plink, bring it on with this fantastic pellet. i would definately buy them again.

Product is made in Germany and is in a quality tin.

Nothing.

These pointed bullets are not to be used in handguns with the 8 pellet rotary magazines, at least the ones made by Umarex, including Walther.

They were very accurate and at a great price too. I havent gotten to use them on any game yet, however im sure they'll do more than enough to get the job done due to the nicely balanced weight and the very sharp point

Screw on lid!

Very very fine pellet, however with RWS's reputation i wasnt as pleased as i was thinking they would be "perfect" however i soon learned that that sort of thing doesn't exist :\

I will say that these are pretty good pellets. When they hit something, like varmits, it drops.

Screw on lid

These pellets were not hitting the target, like squirrels in hunting season, for the most part. Then I would put in a Crossman Pellet and it hit the spot if I got the chance for a second shot,

Very accurate and groups amazingly. I haven't had any flyers and these are now my favorite pellets for varmint hunting.

buy these, you will not be disappointed.

Good grouping and consitant shooting. Good quality.

Secured lid design for tin once tape is removed.

Very clean and uniform pellets. No defects in an entire tin of 500. No fliers in 100 rounds shot.

A screw-on lid would be nice.

I shot a group of 25 with open sights and a 3/4 inch spread. These pellets have excellent penetration and are great varmint killers. They have worked great in 4 different rifles and 2 different pistols.

they are very accurate, used them in my gamo whisper and they worked very well, @ 150 yds i hit my target almost every time

nothing

buy these ones

Penetrates thru small game and is accurate.

nothing

Weight - shape

Make them work? What good is a nice shape if it doesn't hit the target?

I used these in my Remington Vantage – actually returned the gun because it shot so poorly. Then I got a new Quest (basically the same gun), still terrible. I took that back and got a GAMO Big Cat – once I gave up on these pellets and went to Kodiak pellets everything changed. These also don’t work in my Gamo CFX Nitro. So four 1000fps guns and zero luck with these. I also like the Beeman Kodiak Copper-Plated .177 Cal, 10.19 Grains, but at 50M the Beeman Kodiak Extra Heavy .177 Cal, 10.40 Grains hold a little bit better shot group. Due to all the positive feedback on here I will go home tonight and give these a try one more time at 15M.

These pellets are incredibly accurate through my custom 1377! i absolutely love them! they seem to be of very consistent size and weight, and i have not found found a deformed pellet yet!

Nothing

These are a bit difficult to load into the 1377 depending on how tight your breech screw is. the pellets have a sort of ridge on them and that can get stuck on the depression around the breech screw and deform the pellet if you try to force it. the best way around this is to drop the pellet as far forward as possible to avoid the screw!

these are as accurate as lighter domes and wadcutters at 60 ft out of my IZH 46M, nice sharp points. I have found my squirrel seekers.

the can.

twist lock. accidentally dumped pellets in my carrying case.

fairly accurate and fast.
