10 of 36 Benjamin Destroyer .25 Cal, 27.8 Reviews
Some people use pellets for extreme accuracy at long distances. I need pellets that effectively kill game. I hunt with dogs that tree squirrels and raccoon. These pellets have outperformed the JSB Exact Kings 25.39 grain pellets on coon, and were far superior than the Barracuda Hunter extreme 28.4 grains. I have only shot the Destroyer on raccoons up in a trees at night. These are not easy shots because of brush, off hand shooting, holding a light, etc. If you hit the raccoon in the head they will drop out dead. Even with a solid body shot the raccoon is wounded seriously and you get good penetration with a body shot when no head shot presents itself.
Things I Would Have ChangedYou do get a few more flyers and I would like to see Benjamin work on the quality of this pellet because it is a very lethal pellet.
What Others Should KnowI am hunting with the .25 caliber synthetic Ben. M-Rod with a Hawke Sport 3-9x40 scope.
These are not as bad as people say. It makes a big difference on what type of gun. My Marauder doesn't shoot them that well, but my Hatsan 125 does much better. Don't know if it the different velocity or the break barrel just likes them better.
Things I Would Have ChangedNothing, I will buy more.
What Others Should KnowI got these because of all the bad ratings. Wanted to find out for myself.
Shoots great and a great price
Things I Would Have Changednothing
What Others Should Knowgreat pellet
the can they came in is the best thing about these.
Things I Would Have Changedeverything will not group under 5" at 25yrds
What Others Should Knowdon't waist your money on these
These .25 pellets group 1/4" at 17 yds out of my Talon SS on full power, starting pressure 2900 psi, and are running at 702 fps with 30 FPE. They match the accuracy of JSB Exs & Pred Polys out of this gun.

What Others Should KnowEvery gun is different, can't tell until you try them in yours.
Okay ammo
Things I Would Have ChangedInclude the dome pellets with your package instead of these.
What Others Should KnowThe Dome pellets are much more accurate.
I have nothing at all negative to say about these pellets, which is so out of the ordinary that it is a positive all on its own. They shot great groups, penetrated, and did the job they were created to do. I am going to try other pellets too just to see if there is something out there that improves but at 25 yards it is hard to improve multiple shots through the same hole!
What Others Should KnowThis design for 177 (Destroyer, gammo tomahawk) did not group well for me in my spring guns. Goes to show that some pellets are good performers but just not in every gun.
Free with MRod. Nothing I shot moved after hit. I had good accuracy out to 25 yards (clover leafed). Maybe my gun is an exception to what seems to be the rule here on accuracy. I have not had the need to go further in accuracy as I use this gun for dispatching vermin and usually don't shoot over a few yards.
Things I Would Have ChangedI did have this similar designed pellet for my Benjamin 1500 in .177 and the accuracy wasn't all that great. I got some destroyers from Crosman and some Gamo brand (the gamo were horrible quality). Even though the .177 were not much to write home about I have not had a problem with the .25s.
What Others Should KnowThis is a great hunting pellet though I don't think that it has any real advantage flight wise and it is basically a mean looking hollow point. The soft lead deforms all the same and when I have pulled these out of the wood I had a hard time differentiating between these and a hollow point. Whatever you choose to hunt with just make sure that you zero in and practice with that particular pellet from a single tin. I have seen pellets group in completely different places just based on their batch. If you can't put a group together that you are confident in at a range at least as far as you plan on hunting in you should not be shooting them.
As part of an air rifle package from Pyramid Air, these were the first pellets I tried in my new Marauder. With the rifle at the factory settings, these pellets proved to be very accurate out to 50 Yards (the max. distance of my target range). After raising the power level of the rifle, shot group size doubled. As a comparison, I have since tried the Benjamin domed pellets with which I was able to hold much tighter groups at both the factory and increased velocity settings. The Destroyer pellet seems to be very hard hitting at the factory setting and the profile may produce more shock, giving it an advantage for hunting but this is only an assumption on my part (so far). When squirrel season re-opens in the fall, I plan to find out for sure.

Very accurate and hard hitting from my Mrod with factory setting. Well packaged, loads easily.
Things I Would Have ChangedCould be cheaper, free would be even better...lol...Not really sure if pellet produces a wider and deeper wound channel due to shape. Seems a little gimicky to me. I'm killing the pest I shoot at so I don't waste my time recovering pellet to see if it blossemed out adequately. I've been caught of guard with pest when the gun only had a 1500psi charge. This pellet is still passing thru at that charge when I recover animal for disposal. I can only assume it has still retained it's shape on exit. I don't know.
What Others Should KnowNot sure why so many are having problems. Level your rifle on flat surface with a level then level your scope on gun with level. Cross-check that both are still level when tightening down scope. Canted crosshairs will send your bullet off target if not centered properly. Get a paper target that has crosshairs or make one, line up your scope crosshairs to the target crosshairs and let them fly. I would start off with 20-25yds zero dail-in. This one and Benji Domes are all I use, recalibrating depending on which one. My 9yr old daughter is hitting quarter sized spinners at 25yds, 7 out of 8 (magazine capacity) times consistently with these pellets. I have not missed a varmit squirrel yet. If you take the time to calibrate your system properly it will work. Know how to judge distance, compensate for parallax, and practice minimum magnification. It's that simple. I'm using the Centerpoint 40x. As far as scopes go it's not Ziess, US Optics, or Nightforce quality but it works for this.
