H&N Excite Hammer Pellets, .22 Cal, 14.66 Grains, Domed, 250ct

Great quality, accuracy and price, and with the Pyramyd Air packaging ensuring they arrive in great shape, these absolutely are one of my favorite go-to pellets for .22 caliber shooting. Whenever I'm in the market for a new airgun or airgun gear, I try to add enough pellet tins to my order to qualify not only for the super-sweet 'order four, pay for three' deal, but free shipping as well! My Benjamin 392s, Umarex 850M2, Crosman 362 and Crosman 2289 Drifter air rifles get excellent accuracy with these, and they're great in all my other .22s as well, including pistols and often-very-picky, multi-pellet magazines, unlike many other pellets. It is a shame they're not available in tins of 500, but the price is absolutely competitive on a per-pellet basis and I prefer the quality and little bit of extra weight. I'll buy Crosman PHP and Domed pellets if I have to (when these aren't available), but I prefer the Excite Hammer pellets to them by a long shot.

Offer them in tins of 500! There's not one thing wrong with these, though -- they work great in every one of the nine or ten .22 airguns I own, making them one of THE pellets I like to keep on-hand for all-around, general purpose use.

Naturally, for longer-range target shooting and most hunting, I like to go with something heavier, but these just about can't be beat for general purpose use. Besides, the weight is fine for squirrels and similarly-sized critters. As I mentioned, any time I get something here that costs around fifty bucks and more, I try to add enough pellet tins (in groups of four) to the order to make sure I qualify for free shipping too. After all, why not buy now while the price is low? It's a dead-certainty it will go up eventually and my wife and I REALLY enjoy saving money when we can. Even even if I end up having to order many thousands, it's not like they won't get used. Besides, you know what they say about a penny saved and all that happy horse hockey... :-) Nice pellets.

They performed equal to the best reviews already posted. In the following guns. Beeman Mach 12.5,Hatsan 125 ,Benjamin Prowler, Beeman rs 2,Hatsan Edge spring.

The pellets do everything I expect of some match ammo if I shot in the same guns...mainly due to shooting skill limits of myself. One of these days a pellet will make me pan it.

Don't buy 1000...one can will tell you . I almost gave up the first 5 shots just so-so... .Stockscrews had loosened in those shots! No problem from then on. One gun permanent ammo(Edge). Maybe now 1000.

Inexpensive (about 1 and 1/3rd penny each)- High Quality (no throw-aways) - Accurate & hard hitting (the barely heavier Hammer pellet rivals or improves on the performance of Crosman Premier and similarly weighted pellets from other manufacturers at prices ranging from the same to half the cost (and better)) - Superlative Pyramyd Air packaging (without which, I suspect these pellets would suffer as much as any other during shipment, resulting in damaged, unusable pellets straight from the tin. I bought a thousand and with more than half already gone, I haven't had one pellet I couldn't use!) - My new favorite, goto pellet, with excellent performance in all seven of my .22 airguns (Benjamin 392s, Sheridan 2260MB, Umarex 850M2, Crosman Drifter, Crosman 1322 w/stock, Crosman 2240 w/stock, and Umarex Strike Point).

Nothing! Increased weight typically means increased price, but a heavier, similarly inexpensive version would be very welcome.

I am certainly not trying to gain favor with the site, but MAJOR props to Pyramyd Air for the development and implementation of their conscientious pellet packaging and shipping practices. Without this, almost every home delivery of airgun pellets could (and probably would) include many unusable pellets because of damages incurred during shipment. More props for their 'buy three, get one free' pellet tin deal! So far as I can tell, there's no better place on the planet from which to buy pellets! :-)
