What others should know: In the top tier for my Hatsan 95.

Things I liked: Here is the story no one is talking about: These pellets are lead Raptors. Other reviewers may have not shot Raptors. I have shot the golden ammo and compared the Pro Mag to the Raptors -- they are identical. The Pro Mags are a major leap forward over the pretty PBAs, and Gamo did really well here addressing the complaints about Raptors: (1)They were too expensive, too few pellets. (2)The light alloy bodies were inaccurate. (3)Gamo quality control -- lampooned on this website -- once again failed with deformed pellets. The Pro Mags are plentiful for the price and the quality control is much improved. These pellets are on the level of the econo ammo from China using the "Beeman" name. The rave reviews on PA for the Chinese knock offs of the Silver Bear and the Silver Sting made me try both. They are accurate. Gamo must have been embarrassed that the Chinese had better QC. But that is great because the Pro Mags are equals in quality and FAR SUPERIOR IN PENETRATION.

Things I would have changed: Nothing

What others should know: The Pro Magnums give the Crosman Points a serious challenge in accuracy and penetration. Are Pro Mags better? No. But the quantity and quality will take market share. Gamo made a great product that is highly effective out of pumps guns like my 880. To conclude: (1)Reviewers claim they are dirty -- no more than the Chinese pellets, just some lead shavings. My hands and fingers did not turn gray at all. (2)These are Crosman killers! $8 off the store shelf gets 250 Crosman Points. Through PA, 4 tines of Pro Mags (one is free; use Smart Post S&H) is only $8 each for tins of 750! (3)This is a really exciting product for pumps rifle users. The price, quantity, and quality will likely make these favorites for shooters who try them.
