price and performance

would like to see the weight in a domed pellet

Hard hitting, well made, my Sumatra loves them.

More in a tin, maybe a little harder compound, they seem to deform readily when I shove them into the magazine of my gun. No big deal though, I learned to use a softer surface to push them in and this problem has been solved.

I can barely jam these into my Sumatra magazine, but once you get them in, they are hell to any poor animal downrange. I dropped a large adult beaver, I'd say 60-80lbs, at 35 yards with a head shot instantly. These are too expensive to be anything but my hunting pellets. I use other pellets to punch holes in paper. I shot at a 2x6, treated 2x6 at about 20 yards and it didn't go through, it actually deformed into an odd shape and blew a chunk of wood out the back. I would NOT want to be hit by this gun with these pellets within 200 yards.

Plenty accurate, huge power out to longer than you'd think you can shoot. My condor averages 940fps with these on a 2800psi fill with power wheel on 13. 85fpe... holds a 1.2" group @ 50 yards from rested shoulder

Consistency in shape/weight isnt top notch but mr critter wont know the difference, larger tins.

Very thick skirts, nice snug fit in my condor, have to push hard but once they start they slide right in. Some fit perfect some are a lil more snug, but velocities over a 8 shot string are very consistent

they are very tight in the bore, shoot about an inch higher than any other round because the gas pressure is retained behind the pellet better. always land nose first, havent had one tumble yet. grouping is good and they splatter on impact more than kodiak match or crow magnums. definitely my 1st choice hunting pellet after trying 4 others.

too expensive for plinking but worth every penny for hunting.

my experience is in a benjamin trail 1100 in .25 caliber. they fit so tight that the recovered rounds have a deep rifling in the skirts that none of my other pellets present. i have had no issues with any being too large.

Clean, polished and HEAVY. I believe the Latin designation for these slugs is "pelletus maximus".

83 in a tin? Really?

These fit in the Marauder .25 magazine!

Devestating penetration. Completely through a 2x4. And kept on going. At 750fps, no doubt a good larger sized capable! Nice groups in marauder. 1-1 1/2" at 50 yard.

Price and count.

Found nearly a dozen bad pellets in one tin of 83.

Everything about this pellet is positive. It seats deep and fits snugly creating a solid seal which helps produce max pressure translating into velocity x weight = ft lbs of energy. At 44yrds i dropped a 15 lb groundhog and the night before a 17 lb racoon (garbage raider). No follow up shots needed. I shoot the 43.2 eun jin from the talon p and the combination is deadly accurate. A fellow shooter (dbrownhkw) using the same rig took a 184.3 lb sow [girl hog] with one shot behind the ear @ 15-20yrds.

The only thing I might change is the number per tin but I'm not sure that I am not just being greedy, since you hunt with these you don't plink and play with'em. The price for what is produced is great.

The 43.2 grn Eun Jin pellet is a heavy pellet so for results worthy of the pellet use them only in solid springers & gas pistons that can produce ATLEAST 750fps with lead pellets weighing 24-26grns. Most pcp in this calibre should fine. My talon p which shoots a 25.4grn pellet @960fps shoots the 43.2grn heavy weight @765fps (56.15 fte). Accuracy,Penetration,Uniformity = DEPENDABILITY!

Platform: Benjamin Trail NP XL 725. Excellent consistency as far as shape and form. Very hard impact. Slightly larger bore than the other pellets I’ve used. They fit very snug inside the barrel. Much more accurate than the other pellets I’ve tried, which have been many.

only 83 per Tin. make sure you get your scope sighted in with a minimal amount of shots. all the same, still worth it

i was having a hard time getting consistent accuracy with my benji NP XL 725 but these pellets made a huge difference. groupings at 50 yards were much much tighter. also, i figured that these pellets would travel slower due to them being much heavier than most of the other pellets. wrong. heald velocity around ~700fps and after going through 4 layers of cardboard, still mushroomed out nicely on the 1" thick piece of plywood backing at 55 yards. This is a nice pellet. now i just need to introduce them to the woodchucks

I like the groups there pellets produce when shot from my highly modified Airforce Condor, 1 hole at 30yards.

More pellets for the money.

I have a poly barrel, .243 and these pellets push in harder than most.

Very uniform, no "bad" pellets. I had a concrete stepping stone as a backstop behind my target to sight in my Sumatra .25 air rifle for 30 yards. I hit the concrete twice and the 1.5" thick concrete stepping stone cracked in two. I had to find something else. I have killed several beaver weighing well over 50lbs with these pellets. One beaver was 80lbs, at 30-35 yards, with a single headshot. It was on the bank and just rolled into the water, it never moved again.

The price is a little much for what you get, or I should say how many you get. You shouldn't use these for cheap "plinking." Think of these as your "hunting" pellets and sight your gun in for them, and then use some cheaper ones to play around with. Make sure your backstop is substantial if using a gun like the Ein Jin Sumatra.

These fit tightly into the 6 round magazine that comes with the Sumatra. You will need something to assist in pushing them in if you dont want to deform them, especially that pointy nose.

Decent groups at 20 yards in my trail np xl. Out of 10 there was maybe 2 strays.

Nothing

Buy them, the are quality pellets. Great for hunting medium sized game.

Amazing power !!!! on my Daystate Air Ranger 80 feet/pound , at 55 yards goes thru a 3,5 inches wood , letal even on big 20 pounds nutrias up to 60/70 yards.The best hunting pellet available on the market worldwide.

I think to smooth a bit the pointed head and see wat the result will be in terms of accuracy. The box is too litte i think of a pakage of at least 150 pellets.

This is definitely an hunting pellet for medium size animals , dont buy it for target shuting becouse is very dependent on air pressure , on target distance and so on. If my gun is at the maximum charge power tends to fly a bit too high ( 2 inches ) and stabilize at medium charge pressure , accuracy tends to stabilize at 200 atmospheres pressure out of a maximum of 250. Is a pellet that you have to work on at each shat , but if you get use to it and this becomes natural , you won't shut anything else for hunting.

I needed these for my marauder for maximum power under 20 yards for bigger critters. Very powerful and nicely made pellets. accuracy is good in my marauder

nothing

great for short distance shooting

consistency

nothing

I shoot a trail np and these fit too tight in the barrel. Would not recommend for this gun but the pellets are very consistently made.

Great accuracy at different power levels, great accuracy

More per tin

I find these to be very accurate at any power level on my AF ss with 24inch barrel I find lighter pellets have to be dialed into the right level to find a point where they are accurate.

They do exactly what I want from a 25 caliber air rifle, they deliver some serious wallop. Out of my Condor, at power level 10, they are exiting right at 915 fps (80 foot lbs. of energy) and I have proven that they will completely pass through a coyote skull (25 yard side shot). The accuracy is there too, I assume most shooters should be able to keep them around 3/4" or so at 50 yards.

I would like to buy them in bulk of around 500 or so.

I have noticed that at least one of my shots had the pellet impact the paper sideways. The power was maxed out though at 13 on the Condor. It must have been either supersonic or just too much air trying to blast past the skirt upon exit. Even at power 10, you will be pumping up the tank frequently. It lost about 2 fps every shot and I guess about 100 to 150 psi every shot as well.

Every pellet weights the same and my .25cal. Airforce condor can hit and take down what ever I aim at

More pellets per tin, Just charge a little more

I shoot these from a 25cal airforce condor at a .22cal rimfire steel moving target knocking it down time after time. I get about 8 full power shoots out of a tank. Go heavy for power not speed.

Consistent shape and weight, nice quality pellet.

These would not fit in my Walther Talon Magnum without excessive force. I would not recommend these for this rifle. After firing one round, I chose not to shoot any more due to their tight fit (literally had to push in with ALOT of force). I was almost afraid to fire.

Purchase with caution. Others have had great success with these (the reason I purchased). However, I would not fire another in my Talon. I gave a 4-star rating due to the quality and not my negative experience.

they fit nicely in the chamber of my .25 walther talon magnum, and it shoots them with zero buzz. i don't imagine there are many spring guns that can handle these, but the new .25 talon shoots them very well. the weight of the pellet tames out all ofthe vibration in the shot cycle, making it less hold-sensitive. they hit hard, they group well, and they penetrate well. in 3/4" plywood, i can't tell the difference in penetration between 10 yards and 30, so i assume they retain energy really well.

well, the weight of the pellet is what makes it great, but it does not shoot very flat in a magnum springer. obviously it is a pellet for pcp's, but within 30 yards on game you wouldn't normally pursue with a break-barrel, it is a very gfood choice.

if you have a talon mag or falcon hunter in .25, you have to give this pellet a chance. zeroed about 1/4" high at ten yards with open sights, my .25 talon mag shoots them about a half inch low at 30 yards. a trajectory like that with a pellet this heavy means i'm probably getting at least 30 fpe from the muzzle, and retaining the vast majority of it at 30 yards. if you can master the drop, you probably won't be able to find a better break-barrel/pellet combo to hunt with.

very accurate in my 25 cal Marauder, better than the doomed lighter Eun Jin's. Dime size grouping at 50yrds.
