That they are a pointed 15.74 grains was the attraction for me. Ideal for my .22 cal. Umarex Octane and Ruger Air Magnum.

Nothing. I bought them for what they are, nothing needs to be changed.

Perfect match for my Umarex Octane, equipped with a super clear CenterPoint 4-16X40AOIR. Power magnification is set on 6X. Zeroed in at 80 feet on 2 inch target stuck on a box. The accuracy of this pellet is superb, has become my go-to Pellet for the Umarex Octane. 5 shot chronographed average is 808 fps. One shot kill on a squirrel at 90 feet. Heard the pellet hit him. He fell over kicking for about 10 seconds, as he bled out. Examination showed the entrance and exit wounds just above his shoulders. This pellet is also sold as the Excite/H&N Spike 15.74 grain pointed pellet. I put the crosshairs on that 5/16 inch bullseye on that 2 inch target and after 20 shots it is gone, nothing but a hole with no evidence what that bullseye looked like, it is as if I can not miss at 80 feet. I WILL buy this again and I do recommend this for magnum powered air rifles. Once I zero my air rifle and scope to a particular rifle I stay with that pellet until it is gone. Get chronograph.

Extremely Accurate. I shot these in an RWS 48 at 30yds. Bulls eye group was the size of a quarter. They shoot similar to the Beeman Silver Sting.

Nothing.

shape

accuracy

after 20 yards they tend to drop with 1000 fps.

Brian Mar 26, 2022

They have a tendency to drop because the laws of velocity is too high and they probably have tumbled but if you slow them down to 850 ft per second or a little less they'll easily keep within one inch in 30 yards

H&N pellet in every respect, quality, and manufacture

Nothing

Reason for 2 stars they were very inaccurate in my .22 cal. Titan and Marauder and i will not be buying them again.. not to say other's would not have much better results..

The velocity sensitive may be due to difference of weather and temperatures, as well as altitude above sea level. Where I am located I am around 400 feet above sea level. Woodys World.

These are quite accurate with my Hammerli 850 .22, and dispatch rats quite well. I agree with your data. Thank you, Fred.

It's nothing to do with Co2 or Air it's the pressure because in the moded 2240 at 16.5ftlbs on Co2 and 15ftlbs on reg'ed 850psi air it shoots them equally well.. when I run the 2240 on Reg'ed 1450psi air at 24ftlbs they are then all over the place then I drop it back down to 16ish ftlbs and BAM they are hole through hole at 40 yards all day long... it's odd how velocity sensitive these things are but that's the nature of this pellet I guess.. I sure wish they was as,accurate at 35ftlbs as they are at 16 and then this would be a awesome hunting pellet at 50 yards and in.. but 50 would be my limit in fur and 75 to 80 on feathers just due to the on target energy being much lower then a high B.C dome as these things scrub energy better then scrubbing bubbles scrub a tub... one of if not this lowest overall B.C of any non wadcutter pellet I have ever shot.

These are super high drag pellets, they are exceptional at sub 15 to 17ftlbs but when you start pushing them at over that they faster you push they the more they open up.. this is deff not a high power 30+ftlb pellet like your mrod would be pushing them.. is a 16.5ftlb 24in 2240 moded and bulked these pellets are absolutely tack drivers but past 40 yards need a lot of holdover but extremely accurate, in any gun that's over I own and have shot them through (14 .22 pcps) they have never been accurate in anyone of them as they are all between 30 and 60ftlbs.. in lower powered guns I have shot them through they are tack drivers, fully custom Disco on co2, custom Mrod and Synrod on Co2 and a few other custom Co2 builds (in the Disco and 2 Rods they suck bad on HPA but shine on Co2) they shoot amazingly well out of all of them BUT when I charge them with HPA they are all over the place so I believe this pellet can't handle 20ftlbs or more and prolly shine the best in sub 12 guns.

The looks and how they perform. Thes and the H&N Baracuda Huner extremes are now my regular serious shooting pellets.

Only larger quaniyies.

I just tested these on 2, 1 gallon plastic milk jugs filled with water with both my Beeman RS2 and my Benjamin Titan. Both almost shot through both jugs. The pellet showed some deformation but not much. They did remain stable completely through their path through the water jugs. I believe they would remain pretty stable on their path through game as well. Of course game would have hide and bone that the water jugs don't. I will never be without several hundred of these pellets and only one place to get them ... PYRAMYD!!!

I recently shot a squirrel at fairly close range (12-15 yards) with my Benjanim Titan using these Spitskugel 15.74 gn. pointed pellet. The squirrel was on top of my storage shed sitting on his haunches (typical squirrel stance) and the pellet struck him just behind (or in this case low) of a text book heart/lung shot. He showed very little reaction to the hit, certainly way less than I expected. He jumped a bit then ran to the big pecan tree by the shed. I looked for him a bit before I found him about 6-8 fet up the tree in a large fork of the tree. He was pretty well anchored. A few shots from my M&P 40 knocked him out of the tree. Apon examination he showed visible entrance and exit wounds. Not real big, but clear. I suspect that the pellet missed any ribs or other bones and that accounts for why he showed so little reaction to the hit. Still, he only went a very short distance so it was basically a clean kill. This is the first kill on a squirrel or rabbit that was not instantanious using these pellets. These are very high quality pellets that are very accurate and kill very effectively. One of my regular pellets most used in .22 cal.

Best pointed pellet,hard hitting.

Size needs to be a little bigger to fit the barrel tighter.

I have since discovered that not only do my Titan and RS-2 love these things, my 2240 and 1322 love them. In fact a day or so ago I shot a one hole group at 23 yards. At 30 yards the 1322 (1399 stock and 4x30 Beeman scope) held about an inch. These are now my regular serious pellet ...

Only bigger quanities, that is why I just bought 3 cans ...

These things seem fast, real fast. My Beeman is sighted in for 30 yards with Crosman pointed pellets and these hit in the same place or a tad higher. In my Titan (also sighted in for 30 yards with Crosman pointed) they hit about an inch high. I will never be without several hundred of these pellets. And I will always get them from only one place ... Pyramyd!!!

A correction here, I replaced the Beeman scope on my 1322 with a Crosman Centerpoint scope I took off my Titan, pardon the error ...

Very uniform, very accurate and resonable priced. They shoot real good in my Beeman RS-2. In fact as accurate as any pellet I have used in it.

nothing really, maybe larger quanities ...

Just an all round good pellet. Real good for hunting. They penetrate very good yet the few I have recovered from game (sqirrels and rabbits) showed fair and uniform deformation. All were one shot kills to the body.

Weight and consistency of pellet

Accuracy, price, quantity.

Of all the pointed pellets out their these shot the best. However, that's not saying much. Rws 350 & 48 were getting 1.50" @ 40yds. And AA S510 looked like a shotgun pattern. My minimum range is 40yrds and max about 125yrds, these just don't cut it. Maybe they do well @ closer distances or in different rifles. I will not purchase these again.
