Haendler & Natermann H&N Excite Hammer Pellets, .22 Reviews
Tell us what you think
If you happen to own a Gamo Swarm Maxxim, then these 14.66 grain H&N Excite Hammer pellets are far and away THE most uncannily accurate pellets for your gun. I tried several other brands, most of which were way more pricey than these are, but not one of those other brands of pellet came remotely close to the hole-in-one precision that is possible with these German made masterpieces of air-gun projectile technology. At 35 yards, I was able to pinpoint the exact location of impact within the bullseye, as viewed through my Bug Buster 3x9 telescopic sight, time and time again, with no errant fliers whatsoever. My accolades do not end there. These pellets are a perfect fit for the Gamo Swarm magazine, such that they seated into the breech with a decisive click each time I reloaded by breaking the barrel, whereby there was not one single blank shot or mis-load after several hundred flawless shots, and magazine reloads. I could ramble on some more, but you get the picture ha ha.
True perfection simply cannot be improved upon. For the Gamo Swarm Maxxim, there simply is no other pellet that can surpass the magazine fit, and the surgical precision of these supremely accurate and consistently manufactured pellets. If you own a Gamo Swarm, and your experience with these pellets is different from mine in any aspect of their use, I will eat a bug, live on Youtube, so help me God.
Zero in on these pellets from your Gamo Swarm Maxxim repeater air rifle, and you will very be glad that you did. The Oracle has spoken.
If I could give this pellet a zero I would. Could not get it to group in my Crosman break barrek, Gammo Stealth and it would not shoot even out of my Avenger and there has only been one other pellet that shot so poorly. I bought 1,000 of these and might as well melt them down and cast fishing sinkers with them
Everything, They simply will not group in the 3 guns I tried them in.
Unless you are dead sure these pellets will shoot accurately in your gun don't buy in a large quantity

Verified BuyerThese all seem like really nice pellets. But up here in the north east. It might be awhile before I can actually try them outside.but I really do like dealing with Pyramyd Air. The price is always good and the shipping is great!

My Beeman P1 really likes these pellets. Rested ~10 meters, very tight groups. It is not unusual to stack pellets. Great price.
The tins have some lead shavings, so these are not as clean as higher end / more costly pellets.

Verified BuyerPrice and very tight grouping (hole on hole) at 10-15 yards, small backyard...
Make them in a 500 count tin...
These H&N Excite Hammer .22cal. 14.66gr. pellets are more accurate than the more expensive pellet brands on the market. This order from Pyramyd AIR was just a stocking up on the pellets my break barrel loves...

Nothing.
I purchased 6 different brands of .22 cal. pellets (from Pyramyd AIR) to see how they would group in my Gamo Swarm Viper 10x Gen3I I purchased a few months ago for doing some shooting on paper for fun and also some pest control. I've already tested a couple other brands of pellets with pretty good grouping from them. I know every air rifle (break barrel or pcp) has that one brand and weight that will consistently group well. I'm only shooting 10-15 yards (my backyard is small do to a 2 1/2 garage taking up a lot of it) so if I can't get a tight group from that distance on paper I'm going to say the rifle is not a fan of them. Also, I only did a 5 shot grouping on paper from all the brands to see how well they would group. I have to say I had a very tight grouping with these pellets and will be purchasing a few more tins in the near future...

Verified BuyerVisually flawless, by far the most accurate out of my Crosman 362.. .380" at 15 yards. And being one of the cheaper pellets I will be getting alot more of these.
Nothing.
Beware of the lid on the tin, comes off easy, but being a cheaper price this is part of the money saving on H&N part.

Make them in different sizes,5,50,5,51,5,52. A friend bought a tin and gave me a few and they shot great I ordered a few tins and the ones I got were horrible shotgun pattern from same rifle. Diameter consistency.
Pyramid air packs the pellets great.

Verified BuyerConsistent head sizes measurements show 5.5mm as printed on can Most my springers like them not so for 177cal version
Offer larger head sizes like 5.52,5.54Mm and yes screw on lid 500 pick up game is not fun even if just 250 Ha
Great low cost alternative to WM Crosman hollow points with 4 different head sizes in same can and getting worse every decade

This is a quality pellet that is very affordable. The consistency and uniformity is better than Crosman and the price is very reasonable.
A screw-on cap on the tin would be nice.
Pyramid Air takes air-gunning seriously. Ordering from them, your product will come foam padded, boxed, then padded and boxed again. Other retailers throw the tin in a plastic bag and it arrives dented and deformed beyond recognition. Order from Pyramid and you won’t be disappointed.
