Container

Head and skirt diameters.

I bought these to try in a Benjamin Trail XL .22. Shot at 50 ft. no wind. Sighted in with H&N Field/Target/Trophy. Head of BB pellets were loose in the barrel, skirts needed help seating (all pellets seated with a blunt pencil). All shots were high and to the right forming a nice group but not tight. Half the pellets left sideways profiles in the target paper. Evidence that the pellets are allowed to spin because of the odd fit in the barrel. So, they did not work for me in my rifle.

The jaw-dropping size of these things. When shown to a buddy of mine he exclaimed "I didn't even know they made PELLETS that big. Lead is solf and the length of the pellet leaves plenty of room for a deep hollow skirt that causes devastating expansion of the pellet upon impact.

Make the pointed version of this pellet weight as much as the domed as is the case in the .25 cal versions.

Coming in a tad heavier that the Eun Jin dome heads these are a massive pellet best suited to heavy magnum springers and PCPs. As effective as any other hunting pellet in .22 cal.

The sheer size of these beasts. Appear to have a better BC than Eun Jins. Definitely a pellet I reach for when I need the job done.

Make these in .22 pointed as heavy as these are.

I liked the old snap on lids but everyone asked for screw on lids now Skenco is using TERRIBLE PLASTIC LIDS that I guess they consider screw on. Bring back the old lids.

Heavy weight, good accuracy

Tried in Career II 707 at 50 feet. Sub 1/2" group. Was a little tight getting into the chamber on my rifle because of the length. Doesn't feed well.

I have bought a lot of Pellets from PA, and I give them an A+ for their shipping and customer service. Their pellets have always performed exalat. But I have to rate these pellets Poorly. Reason: I have recieved them today and tried to make them shoow good using my Condor 24" barrel, My Marauder and My Maraud-P not one gun shot these pellets with any satisfaction. I used low power and high power, regular valve and extreme valve. From Condor to Benjamin rifles. I canceled an order today by Phone and by email, so I hope they don't arrive I'll just have to send them back. Sorry PA,,, This is one product I'd have to send back they are too small in size and they just wont group. The best group I could get out of a One hole rifle at 25 yards was a 2" group. Not being Critical, Just reporting the truth. Sorry PA...

Report this to the Maunfacturer, tell them to check their size and redo the mold. Also I had to use them singular in my Maraduers cause they was too long for the Magizene.

I can only report my findings, not critisizing them. Just an honest review, The Marauder I checked these pellets with are definatly pellet friendly rifles, one hole at 25 yards, but these are just not predictable at all.

The quality is top notch. The weight and accuracy is beyond expectation.

Needs a larger capacity container.

This round worked awesome in my Talon with the 24" barrel. Very accurate with the needed kinetic energy. Good for small to medium game. This is a serious hunting round!

Very consistent weight and flight. A little big for springer. Still though devastating impact.

Nothing. It is what it says.

Even in a cheap entry level springer I can get unrested groupings inside an inch at 30 yds. In my marauder, I can "kill" quarters with 100% accuracy. Penetration is deep as should be expected. Deformation is uniform and consistent round to round.

Price,Weight ,Design,ACCURACY.

The tin, I've dropped these and they will explode and go every where. Only two had bent skirts out of 200.(reuse them for soldering)

These shot high for me, they went about 2 inches high at 25 yards, but very very accurate in my Benjamin Trail. They do kick harder for some reason in my gun it's also a bit louder it will make you think it is dieseling slightly.it also has a ton of stopping power if you are thinking of taking small game go with these you won't be disappointed.

Good clean heavy pellets, work fine in my Evanix Renegade PCP rifle. Very accurate. As well made as the Predator Pointed pellets, seem to be high quality. Looks like a lengthened Kodiak or Barracuda. Weight of the ones I bought were 28.4 grains, very very close to the specs. Considerably cheaper than the pointed version, that's always good!

Nothing, they're fine as is.

The plastic containers with snap on lids are nice, easier to open than stamped metal tins, but with secure lid closure. At 28.4 grains, I doubt these pellets would work well in spring guns, but if you've got a powerful PCP, give 'em a try.

Well packaged. These are clean and heavy pellets.

Nothing

Your gun should have ENOUGH power to handle these heavy weight pellets. If your gun doesn't have the power you'll be wasting your money. If your gun can take the weight of these bad boys you'll have a great time with the results they can bring.

this is one hard hitting pellet and very accurate.50 yard groups 1/2" 100 yard 1" ouy of my air force ss talon.took ground squirrels out to 110 yards..jack rabbits knocks em out.calvin great falls mt.

WEll tyou can always fish with em.They are fish sinkers.Great novelty,Wish someone else bought em first and I was reading instead or writing this and I hope I didnt wear my spring too much shooting five of these at 450 FPS on the chrony Down from 825 with the Beeman in .22. springer.I can show em to my Great Grand kids and tell em they are slugs and at 450 FPs thats what they are Slowwwwwwwww. Like a slug..Sorry I cant lie....

Make em for sam yang guns only Not for springers at tall not tall folks!!! O S A R BIG BOYS I CAN TELL YOU THAT RITE NOWWWW>>>>(:))))) Look at em chins air...

3 Stars is the best I could do on these you can hit something if you can kick it with your foot you can hit it without any trouble at all.. 2 feet away.......I did .
