10 of 14 Skenco Black Max Lead-Free Pellets .25 (6.35mm) Cal Reviews
Extreme punch. Goes thru metal. Reasonably accurate
Things I Would Have ChangedMore per tin. A screw top metal tin would be nice.
What Others Should KnowNo wheel mag's. Too long. Single shot tray's only.
I like that they are lead free and heavy, but not much else.
Things I Would Have ChangedThese just aren't accurate for me. I tried them in 2 Hatsan 95s, a springer and the Vortex QE. At 10 meters the spread was larger than an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of paper. The pellet size is inconsistent, some fall into the breech, others need a lot of effort.
Well made. Cute. Heavy for lead-free.
Things I Would Have ChangedThe pellet is so long, it is spin unstable in my TalonP. Probably in any airgun. So it tumbles soon and becomes hopelessly inaccurate.
What Others Should KnowRun your own numbers through the stability calculator: https://www.bergerbullets.com/twist-rate-calculator/
There might also be an accuracy problem with the metal being so close to the .25 bore diameter that it bounces off the side, initiating tumble.
I like the idea of heavy lead-free pellets. I don't use lead on my property because I'm afraid my chickens will eat pellets (they're great birds, but not too bright ;-).
Things I Would Have ChangedThese Black Max pellets vary in size, as noted by other recent reviewers. Some will not even fit into my new Benjamin Trail NP XL. I cannot get it to group with the ones that do. Perhaps we got a bad batch? Earlier reviews (that I considered when purchasing several tins of these) seemed to like them, other than the high price.
What Others Should KnowWatch for newer reviews - are people still having problems, or maybe they're good again(?)
I like the weight for a nonlead pellet
Things I Would Have ChangedThe size and shape is not uniform. They will not group at all
What Others Should KnowI had a few that were really hard to load and even had to remove one from the breach with pliers. I wish I hadn't bought four tins.
Not lead.
Things I Would Have ChangedSizing, they are not balanced at all. I can not hit a 2'x2' at 30 paces. The pellets would fly all around the target, not consistent at all. I want to send them back, and have them replaced with a sized pellet that is not lead or a not lead tip. Please help. I'm shooting a .25 cal sumatra
What Others Should KnowDo not buy, they are horrible.
THE LOOK OF THE PELLET IS CERTAINLY AUTHORITATIVE AND THE LENGTH OF THE PELLET SEEMS TO ADD STABILITY DURING A LONG SHOT. FOR SUCH A HEAVY PELLET, FIRED FROM A SPRINGER, IT HAD A VERY FLAT TRAJECTORY. PENETRATION IS FIERCE, I SHOT THROUGH 2 1" PINE 1 X 3'S OUT OF A WALTHER TALON MAGNUM. NO DEFORMATION.
Things I Would Have ChangedI THINK IT IS BECAUSE OF THE POLYMER, BUT MY (SPRINGER IS QUITE POWERFUL AND ALWAYS SMOKES (NOT DIESELS) AFTER A SHOT NO MATTER HOW DRY THE BORE), THESE PELLETS TEND TO MAKE THE BORE DIRTY AFTER EACH SHOT. ALTHOUGH, THE FOULING DOES NOT SEEM TO EFFECT ACCURACY, WHICH LEADS ME TO THE POLYMER HYPOTHESIS. THEY ARE PRICEY AS ARE ALL POLYMER PELLETS, SO EITHER PLASTIC IS MORE EXPENSIVE THAN LEAD OR THE POLYMER TECHNOLOGY IS HIGH QUALITY - I CAN'T KNOW WHICH.
What Others Should KnowNICE LITTLE PACKAGE, SCREW TOP AND WON'T OPEN UP IF YOU STICK IT IN YOUR POCKET BEFORE A DAY N THE WOODS. BE SURE OF YOUR BACKSTOP, BECAUSE THESE PELLETS WILL DEFLECT!
The length of these rounds, the penetrative capabilities, and the incredible accuracy, especially at distance shots involving distances of up to and over 150-200 meters(using fully adjustable "FX" No-Limit rings, and good glass. The longest kill shot I've made using this ammo, and my AT-44 .25, was just under 100 meters on a "GroundHog" 2 weeks ago, and even at that distance the round went completely through the animals skull, and was stiff by the time I walked up to it,LOL!!
Things I Would Have ChangedMORE, More, More to the tin. 200 would be good
What Others Should KnowThese rounds are quite lengthy, and WOULD not fit in any magazine I know of, but for any single-shot, or single shot tray equipped weapon, fits fine, Excellent B/C, and weight at 32gr,. , Well worth a try, and if it produces a nice Rabbit, Turkey/Game-Bird, the price is well worth it.
the penetration power is super cool!!...since they're not lead they don't bend...so it all depends on your riffle power now.i have a hatsan 125 .25 cal. and it shoots these babies hard!.mine shoot right through a thick baking sheet.
Things I Would Have Changedjust wish i could get more for the money..and some pointed ones wouldn't hurt.
