H&N Excite Econ Pellets, .177 Cal, 7.48 Grains, Wadcutter, 500ct

Surprisingly accurate out of my Beeman P17. Nice fit and consistency for the price. Punches clean holes. Good and cheap.

Nothing

My favorite everyday pellet. Accurate enough for practice balanced by a great price. They seem to be very consistent. It isnt fair to compare these with competition pellets. Dont expect 10 cent per pellet performance for less than a penny each.

Nothing

I have had better performance from these than from any other economy wadcutters.

The design & the brand . The quality of the pellets.

A workmanship, labelling issue. On one of the 8 tins that I picked for test shooting, I found the label not properly placed in the center of the tin. Look like someone thinks the label can be put anywhere, as long as there is a label. Labeling is the main attraction in any product. The labeler should use two hands holding one each side of the label, before sticking on the lid. The picture on this page has the right position & labeling in the center of the tin. I wish they design the tin with screw type, which is more secure from accidentally falling out.

I like EXCITE pellets. They are made in Germany. Pellets have consistency and good accuracy.

The consistency

Nothing

These pellets work great in my Beeman p17

these look and fire surprising like the RWS R10 match pellets but with a slightly beveled edge which makes loading my not so easy to load Beeman p3 some what easier. They are super uniform and always load with the same pressure, never loose or tight. I feel there as good as any wad cutter.

nothing

Amazon charges 12 bucks for them. If you buy 4 here at Pyramyd, there less than 1/3 the price! The only drawback is that the beveled edge does not punch out such a nice round hole on the target compared to a wad cutter that's completely flat.

For Daisy pump rifles, these are perfect fit. For the 1910 or Grizzly, surprisingly tight groups for smooth bores. For these guns, 11/2 accuracy at 15yds is the norm. In 1910 Econs closer to ONE INCH! For 35 go 5 pumps. 880 6 pumps; the rifling keeps it straight.

Nothing. Just don't get cute and greedy like RWS

The choices for cheap but accurate wadcutters is now between the Econs and Berman wadcutters. RWS Basics now $14 for 600 shots. I was told the Excite line was designed to take on Chinese Beeman.

These pellets work well in all my non-magnum air guns, and the price is hard to beat.

For the price? Absolutely nothing.

The pellets I received weighed an average of 7.53 grains. Accuracy from the following of my air guns is on par with RWS Hobby pellets: Hy-Score 815 / Diana 5, Zoraki HP-01, Umarex 92FS, Umarex Embark, RWS 36. Goes supersonic (1149fps) from my RWS 350, so I don't use these pellets with this rifle.

Very accurate

Nothing

The price is right....the consistency from pellet to pellet is good...the accuracy is just as good as RWS Basic pellets...Very clean holes punched in target paper.

The only thing I would change would be to convince H&N to give me these pellets for free,...or maybe pay me to use them? Seriously though, they are a little dirty. There is a small amount of lead dust , or shavings in each tin. I mean SMALL amount.

During the winter months it's easy for me to use 3 or 4 K pellets. For the longest time I used RWS Basic 's for 75% of my shooting. Recently the price structure and packaging on those has become problematic for me. These H&N pellets shoot at least as well as the Basic pellets ...maybe just a tic better in most of my guns.

Good consistent product, I have not found any miss-formed pellets as yet. I find these pellets perform well in any of my various air guns and make well formed easily seen round holes in any paper target.

Nothing

These pellets shoot as well as others costing more in any of my cartridge firing revolvers. I have not measured any difference using "match grade" pellets and these Econ pellets.
