It carries a good pattern. I love it

Put more shot in it

I purchased a couple boxes of these with the airgun "shotgun" to get me started. Figured I'd reload them myself, as previous commenters had mention, after shooting them. It seems easy enough to do as long as you have a card punch that fits to make the top and bottom cards/wads.

The payload here is exceedingly small. Not just the size of the shot, but the number of pellets. This is probably a limitation of the airgun itself. I'll experiment and find out. However, I would recommend against hunting with these - unless you are talking about very small critters at very close range.

There is definitely no other product out there that can currently replace this. I have tried them all and have fallen very short of the effectiveness of these shot shells.I would not try to reload these as some videos suggest. You lose a lot of power and you run the chance of ricochet right back at you. These are definitely designed to give you the best and most effective use of power from your rifle.

Nothing really

Stock up on these or tell your friends. If there are not much sales on this, there may be a limited time offer on both like some other air shotguns out there.

Really a neat little shot shell.

Package more shells for less cost.

Use spent shells for reloads.

I have only fired 1 shell. It looked like a good pattern. I like that the shells are reloadable.

Wish there was info available on how much shot to use for reloads

Ease of use.

Maybe use wads to load this shell for better pattern? Also, another shot size shell or two? Reloading supply?

These are powerful shot from your gun so be careful.

Worked well for what it is - a No.1 bore air-powered shotgun! Using the XP20 22-cal air shot-shells, the patterns are tight and even up to about 10 yards; starts opening up at 12 yards (5in circle at 5yd and 12in circle at 12yds). I would not go beyond 15 yards for any kind of small vermin or small bird.

Remove pistol-grip extension from the stock and remove rubber-like panels from the stock to make smooth - more like standard shotgun. Add holes in stock to store shot-shells for easy access. Add adjustable choke to control pattern. Make a dedicated 25 cal shotgun or even a 45 cal - 410?

Sorta feels like a very light shotgun, but not quite there yet. With stock improvements it would be closer to a field gun.

Worked well for what it is - a 22 caliber air shotgun-shell! From the Gamo Viper Express 22-cal Shotgun with 20in barrel, the patterns are tight (5in at 5yd and 10in at 10yds) and even up to about 10 yards; starts opening up at 12 yards. Easy to load and OK to unload - no extractor on this model of shotgun. These can be reloaded and works well for light loads.

Remove the flat on the rim and make it a bit stronger, maybe with more or stronger fiber.

If you reload these, make sure the small flat on the rim is against some part of the chamber and somewhat supported or the rim will blow out with extended use or with larger than standard load. I used Kleenex box scraps for over-shot and under-shot cards using a 7/32 steel punch to make 0.22" discs. These worked well, but I will make my own for heavier loads.

Able to reload them with 7 1/2 shot.

put 7 1/2 shot in shell. # 9 is terrible.

Just reload. See my review on the Viper Express NP.

Easy to load. Very effective for close range shooting. Good at Rodent and pesty bird control at close range.

Would make a longer shell to hold more shot. Have different shot variety sizes.

Very easy to load. Good pattern at close distances.
