Winchester .177 Cal, .177 Reviews

These have always been a decent go to pellet I've had good luck in every gun I've ever tried them in.

They need to go back to having them manufactured in China. That's where the weight discrepancy is.

If you have the gold background label on the tin those were the ones made in China and heavier. If you have the silver background on the tin you have the newer ones that are made in Spain they're lighter and they have some quality issues. I still buy these they're my favorite junker pellet. I've never had any problems with them. And they're one of my favorite light game hunting rounds. When I want to just plink and play with the lighter guns this is what I use. It's really kind of hard to go wrong with a Diablo

These pellets give a new meaning to the word "Jam Session". Whoever is in charge of quality control at Winchester needs to find another job. Poorly shaped, and badly finished, these basically ruined my Gamo ,177 semi-auto pistol as I attempted to frequently unjam these things.

Stop selling them.

Purchase at your own risk.

These are about 7.5 grain. Really for the price. If you have a .177 Springer, get these! My springer delvers more fpe with these than the 10.5 grain domed crossman.

Nothing. If I said better consistency they would cost More, so they are perfect for the price

Buy them for springers

These pellets shoot very well in my crosman 1077. I use to have issues with other pellets jamming in the clip. These pellets fire every round. Great investment!

Nothing

Purchase these! You will be glad you did!

Very well made, soft lead, uniform, great value for the price.

Nothing.

These are not a heavy weight pellet-they are on the lighter end of the scale, best suited for lower powered rifles or ideally, air pistols.

Pretty much everything.

add a piece of foam to the bottom of the lid

i can shoot golf balls with these out of a $42 daisy 880 at 40 yards easy. i would highly recommend this ammo for plinking, hunting, and for just testing out a gun.

Excellent pellet for the money, shoots as well as pellets costing twice as much.

Shoots tight groups

Shockingly good for how cheap they are.

Consistency in form.

Pay close attention to the shape of each pellet you're using. Some are severely deformed. I expected that and it's not an issue. Just watch is all.

Super good pellets

Great pellets for my Gamo - P430 air pistol, holds a good pattern at 5 yards.

nothing

Great pellets for my CROSMAN F4 air rifle!

Fairly clean pellets with respectable consistency. Proper shaped radii dome for pinnacle/max-Q ballistic coefficient. THREADED tin! "Some" (but minimal) bent skirts. Smooth pellet without jagged seams. Head diameter is exceptionally consistent. Good/proper price-point. Daisy (Winchester) poses very good QC & QE on this product. KUDO's to Daisy/Winchester.

This pellet COMPLETELY missed my very specific intended/targeted application. That being: I have a Benjamin Model 397S. Currently.....I'm shooting JSB 10.34gr out of it......with exceptional accuracy; yet, 10.34gr is ever-so-slightly too heavy for the 397S multi-pump. This Winchester 9.8gr domed pellet would be the pinnacle weight for intended application. BUT.......it turns out: This pellet (in reality) weighs 7.6gr. It does NOT weigh the advertised weight of 9.8gr. So....... I am back to ground-zero. . . . . and have completely missed intended resolution.

YET/BUT: Redemption resounds. This specific Winchester (made by Daisy) pellet expresses phenomenal accuracy in all four (4) of my Daisy Model 880's (of various years)......by punching (right at) 1.00" C-to-C 5-shot groups at 100-feet, with 6-pumps per shot..... in a lead-sled bench.....with Hawke 4x32 AO mil-dot w/mid-rise 14mm mounts.
Additional resurrection/redemption: In a AirArms S500 Series PCP (at power level: 2)...... I ascertain 1" .... 5-shot groups @50Yds, 855FPS...... with Nikon Black FX1000 FFP 6-24 x 30mm x 50 mil-dot........ on one (forearm only) sandbag. BUYER BEWARE: Advertised weight is in gross error. Expect 7.6gr.....and NOT 9.8gr. Stupendous performance abounds if 7.6gr is computationally entered/utilized......with this planform/platform. Apply accordingly!

Cheap dome pellet.

Nothing

Since Wallie is not stocking Crosman pellets in my area, I was looking for a replacement and this is it. I have hunted online, local stores and PA was the best as well as cheapest out there. Other online stores charge more for shipping then the pellets cost. These pelletes shoot better then CPHP that I was getting from Wallie and I am not sure if they will be carrying pellets any longer as the sporting goods section is empty. May just be the current state we are in.

my crosman optimus and norica dragon in 177 caliber love this kind of pellets ,they are very good and high quality brand so far so good,my rifles are very accurate with the winchester and I use them for pest control,thanks pyramyd you guys rock with the best products!!!!

nothing they work great!!!

get the right pellets for your rifle ,not at the work the same it takes time and a lot of shooting or plinking to find the right one, but its awesome and enjoyable time!!!

Nice inexpensive round-nose pellets.

PA only shipped two of the eight tins that I ordered and has not replied to either of the two emails that I sent them asking them why?

Price, I guess

Average weight of 7.5 grains, not 9.8 grains

7.4 - 7.6 grains

Good price and overall quality, plus the tin container is nice.

Pyramid Air should list the weight correctly, which is 7.6grs. (NOT 9.8grs). I weighed 100 on a precision lab scale and the total was 763.2grs. Also add the correct weight to the label.

These shoot fine in a Umarex Gauntlet PCP - certainly good enough for target practice at 1.5" targets at 25yds.

The dome and pellet weight of 9.80 grains. Very accurate in my Crosman Nitro Venom. I like the shallow skirt depth, reminds me of Crosman Premiers. Price, $5.99 for a screw on tin of 500 count.

Nothing here.

This review is based on my accuracy and velocity test with my Crosman .177 Nitro Venom on May 22, 2019. Temperature is 66 degrees, altitude is 50 fret above sea level, and humidity is 40%. Target was an orange 2 inch Birchwood Casey stick on target on a box 4 inches - 7 inches, 80 measured feet away. After sighting in my CenterPoint 3-9X32AO scope that was set on 5X, with the AO adjusted to the clearest based on my eyesight, the point of aim and point of impact was dead on with 5 shots making contact with the 5/8 inch bullseye. NO fliers or damaged pellets. Chronograph test across my ProChrono Digital were: 899, 876, 883, 891, and 889 fps, averaging 887.6 fps. I recommend this pellet, will definitely purchase this again. Get a chronograph. Woodys World.

This is now my go to pellet for when I need a heavy pellet to keep my overpowered .177 rifles from breaking the sound barrier. Winchester has the Round Nose, Hollowpoint and Flat Head ( wadcutter) in the 9.7 to 9.8 grains weight. but the round nose if my favorite. These are great for backyard plinking or breaking in a new rifle.

nothing

These are a great buy on the buy 3 get the 4th free, But if I buy 4 tins of Winchesters at 5.99 and 4 tins of Air Arms Diabolo at 12.99 the 4th free offer will be applied to 2 of the cheaper Winchesters. This forces me to buy my Winchesters and Diabolos on two separate orders to get the best price. I wish PA would correct this.

Price and accuracy

nothing

I find these especially accurate in my more powerful air rifles.

As a more economical choice, it shot quite well, obviously not as good as the more expensive but a good alternative for informal plinking.
