Page 2 of 10 - RWS Superpoint Extra .22 Cal Reviews

I have been shooting these pellets for over 10 years with my scoped RWS model 48 air rifle . I use my air rifle for pest control rats & squirrels . They kill critters much better than the hollow point , domed or wad cutter pellets in my opinion . They are as accurate as match grade wad cutter pellets in my rifle . These pellets shoot ragged one hole groups at 15 yds . through my rifle .

I used to buy these in 500 pellets per can . It appears they only come in 200 count cans now ? I purchased a few cans and when I ran out I found that the " new " pellets do not shoot to the same POI as the old ones ? I had to re-zero my scope ( only a few clicks ) with windage & elevation to get a correct zero . Maybe the pellet alloy has changed ? I suggest you check your zero when you change to a "new " can of pellets . The 500 pellet count cans I shot were all purchased at the same time and zero never changed from can to can for me . I would hope they would offer the 500 count cans again .

I suggest if you are using your air gun for pest control to test several brands of pellets in your air gun to see what shoots the most accurately before you buy a large quantity . Pellet guns do not have much power per say and shot placement & penetration into the vital organs for clean kills is very important .

Very accurate. Average weight pellets is right around 14.4 gr.

nothing

Work very well in my Benjamin prowler.

I love these pellets! They fly straighter and truer than any other pellet I've tried. My Diana 34 just loves them.

Very accurate and will punch a hole through a car door from my RWS 350 magnum

Nothing

Very good quality product

Pretty pellets

Screw top lid

Pretty pellets but 1 in group from a Condor at 25 yards, 5 shots.

Well made, precise pellets. I use these in my HW95 .22 and these are dead-on accurate out to 25 yards, and maybe a bit more. I like the wide skirt and how tall the cone is for penetration. On head shots for squirrels, I know that the damage to the skull is significant on both side on, and front on shots. I had one the other day with a back of the head shot at 25 yards that literally left the skull in the entry area in multiple small pieces. Lights out immediately and isn't that what we are all looking for in our hunts? Ethical kills. These pellets are very good for that.

It would be nice to have a 500 count tin, and some padding on the inside of the tin.

If you hunt, give these a try. You won't get the 40-50 yard accuracy of a round nose diablo, but these are lasers in the 20-25 yards range for small game.

The RWS Superpoint is one of the two "pointed" pellets I have tried. About the other (with the same name from a different maker) I will say nothing. These pellets are "tall" compared to the RWS Superdomes or the H&N FTTs and about equal in weight. The pellets in the one tin I bought had a weight distibution with an average of 14.5 +/- 0.2 grains. I have no idea what the size distribution of these pellets is since I do not have a pellet gage. But the "fit" into the chamber of my D350 was as consistent as their Superdome cousins. A light finger push and that was that. Accuracy was ok. With iron sights, at 10 meters, sitting (in my chair), the median radius from a 25-shot trial was 0.219 inches. Not bad, but a number of impacts were clearly "sideways". I have no data on accuracy at 25 yards, but in light of the tumbling I am not optimistic.

The standard deviation in the weight distribution in the tin I bought is 2 times that of the weight distributions from the 2 tins of the RWS Superdomes. This sort of weight scatter is what I find in tins of pellets made in China. But I do not pay a premium for the Chineese products. At about $35 per 1000, I expect quite a bit better QA from RWS.

Unlike the stout "double skirt" the Superdomes have these pellets are very thin-walled. The skirts are rather soft and easy to bend, or damage, though I found no bent skirts in the tin I bought. A soft skirt in a pellet with a light fit into a chamber is supposedly an "advantage" since the compressed air can "expand" the skirt and press-fit it into the barrel grooves. But what do I know... For the same money, I will stick with their cousins, the RWS Superdomes. Or go with H&N FTTs and save a bit...

Great packaging. One hole accuracy in Hammerli 850.

Nothing.

They say will not leave lead residue, which I have to still find out, but it doesn't leave me with gray fingers like crossman when I had my .177.

Filter out the pellets more, There are flake that like to stick on everything.

I though my gun had a problem and or I was hitting every can. Only these RWS pellets in my gun make a "M-1 Grand" ping went shot. Fun at times. Not went I'm varmint hunting.

Shooting these in my Browning 800 pistol scoped with the BSA 2x20 pistol scope and shooting 10 to 20 yards with consistent accuracy using RWS Super Point Extra 14.5gr and RWS Super Dome 14.5gr pellets. Tried several pellets in this gun and found these to be the best for target shooting and powerful enough for close range pest control.

Nothing.........

Also use these in the .177 for my Gamo Whisper G2 with very good results. Super Point 8.2gr and Super Dome 8.3gr. Very accurate and consistent at 25yd.
