Skenco NewBoy Senior, .22 Reviews

nothing

everything

Horrible group from my .22 Gauntlet

Heavy pellet, has a solid impact zone.

I am shooting a Benjamin trail NP2, and when sighted in for my normal 18 grain round this pellet has a two to three inch drop at 22 yards.

Well formed. No defects noted. Grouped very well. Under a inch.

Nothing.

Shot from a Gen I Mrod, at 30yrds. These things are BIG! Need a single shot tray.

There a larger long pellet as long as they were seated right shot very good and consistent

Little bit larger skirt

Fit very loose in condor ss had to push them into breech with something if not when bolt closed I would hear them sliding back and forth

Its clean ammo

The weight was off quite abit . I had to weigh them to get them to shoot tight.

excellent knock down power and accurate!

more per tin

great for hunting the accuracy is unbelievable and the energy on impact is amazing!

It had a good screw on lid.

I would make sure the newboy pellets will chamber without force.

If your looking for a heavy pellet this one may do the job. The groups at 30 yards were 1.5 to 2.25. Not my kind of group size.

Skenco quality, clean, nice fit. I dont need 500 of these, Theres not 500 Possums and Coons round here. Glad i aint gotta buy 500. 20+ lb vermin 20yrds & under, Thumbed sized hole after 20 shots indoors at 17yrds low light, Peep sites, kinda like at Barn and a quick humane dispatch. Reasonbly quite around Horses in barn. Much more quite than an 18g Sniper Mag which may puncture tin roof after goin threw a 8+lb vermin in the rafters. Which the 18g already did w/ Tuned 150 Model Hatsan Spring. All my stuff makes 30fpe, in that range it stops them dead in there tracks w/ 1 good shot.

Direct quote from Hatsan USA support team, after i asked about shooting 25g-28g stuff threw my Hat 135 Vortex in .22.....BigWoodHat...You should have no problems shooting the heavier .22cal pellets, as long as they form a good seal in the barrel. Both the .22 and .25 caliber 135 utilize the same powerplant with the same diameter transfer port opening...... Askem yourself, i got this answer back in 3 hours via..email. I own a Tuned 150 Spring in .22 a 155 in .25 Vortex and two 135' one in .22 one in .25, both Vortex. Skenco Works well in all.

I like the size and weight.

Perhaps make them a little shorter and maybe a tin container.

Unfortunately I wasn't able to use these because they would not fit the magazine of my Hatsan AT44-10 QE Long .22 cal. I am sure these are good pellets but they just didn't work for me. I am only giving a low rating because I wasn't able to use them. I am sure they are good pellets for those who can use them. So don't let my low rating stop you from purchasing them. However think twice before buying them if you own a Hatsan AT44-10 QE .22 because they are too long.

I wanted these pellets to work, however they did not fit into my Hatsan AT44-10 QE Long magazine. They are too long. I am sure they will work if you load them one by one but who wants to do that?

Make them a little shorter. They are approximately 11 mm long. Perhaps put in a metal container.

For those who have a Hatsan AT44 with a magazine, you might not want to purchase these. They did not fit into my magazine, they were too long. I gave low rating only because I wasn't able to use them. I am sure these are good pellets, just aren't good for my Hatsan that's all.

Big and heavy and pack a solid whallop. Not too expensive. Clean.

Skirt is tight, head is loose. These do not seem to fit my Sumatra well at all. You can see it in the magazine as they wobble, the head diameter is significantly less than the skirt diameter and I would guess that they are not making good contact with the riffling at the head. These hit hard, and they aren't the poorest accuracy pellets I've ever shot, but a 2" group at 50 yards is also quite a bit worse than I've come to expect from my Sumatra. The container I have seems pretty inconsistent.

It seems from the very differing reviews that there may be a bad batch(s) of these. my experience was less than stellar, but as shown in the user pictures, some other people appear to be getting excellent groups with these from guns that typically have similar pellet preference... maybe I'll given them another shot sometime, as they are reasonably priced, but right now I'm waiting for the H&N Piledrivers.

Hard Hitting,Accurate, Works well in a spring air rifle, (RWS Diana Panther 34)

Higher Quanity

A bit heavy for lower velocity guns,(under 800 fps)

The design, and the weight and the fit in the breech.

a little long will not fit my marauder mags

hard hitting

Hard hitting for sure

I prefer the cylinder shape but work awsum on high power with a condor

Bangers! Best for PCP's Thru my Benjamin N/P they tumble but are very good too 30 yards.

nothing

Large pellets are not good for spingers, they tumble. If you put a heavy pellet thru a springer with a junk plastic silent Gamo whatever junk suppressor you run the risk of the pellet tumbling as it leaves the barrel SMASHING the plastic junk to bits.

Great idea, domed pellets are very aerodynamic, accurate and pack a wallop.

Consistency of finished product...

Sorry but some of these are so loose that they almost fall through my barrel. You should NOT be able to tip your gun and have a pellet (not all) fall out of the breach .

uniform,nice tight fit and surprisingly accurate out of my Marauder using the single shot tray. Nice price for a great pellet.

Packaging. But to me not a super big deal because I use a pellet holder when hunting anyway.

Marauder info for test shots with this pellet 2000 psi fill single shot tray 15 yards muzzle to target 10 shots average fps= 639 fps average energy=25.9 ft lbs thats what i love about heavy pellets, ENERGY!!!!!

Poor Accuracy with my Disco

Find a way to make them perform. I don't know what else to tell you.

Go with Eu Jin.

big and heavy.

the skirt of the pellet is to big. so make it the right caliber. it does not fit any gamo series rifles.
