   These are great for use in my QB-78 PCP air rifle, and I get can around 980 fps with them out of this. However, these pellets are most accurate when shot in the 700-750 fps range, but still work well at closer ranges at higher velocities.

   Quality pellets. Not quite precision, but close. They will put three shots within about a quarter at ten meters, occasionally within a dime.

   Better for CO2 guns but too darn light for most break barrel springers.

   My .22 Pellet Testing Roundup in a Crosman 2240 CO2 pellet pistol. I shoot handheld at 10 meters (33 feet) indoors with a 3x-7x Winchester scope I bought on umarexoutlet.com for thirty-nine bucks. In my Crosman 2240 every pellet tumbled and left a keyhole shape hole in paper targets. In my 1250fps break barrel rifles this happens when I try to use flat nose wadcutters. Wadcutters like lower fps or lighter weight wad cutter pellets according to some. After I cut the hammer spring about 3.5-4 coils this went away and I also get around 70 shots per CO2 cartridge as opposed to barely 40 before cutting the coil. HERE ARE THE RESULTS FROM BEST TO WORST: -Umarex RWS “Hobby” Sport Line flat nose wadcutters: these are so accurate I shot once and it hits the center of an X I drew in pencil on a piece of paper. The second shot went so perfectly through the first pellet’s hole I had to walk over and see if I missed the target entirely? Nope-the 2nd shot went right through the hole from the first shot. The 3rd, 4th and 5th shots did the same thing until there was a single, slightly larger than normal pellet hole in the center of the target. LASER-LIKE PERFECTION!!!!! -Daisy Flat Nosed Pellets: 500 in a tin and ultra-cheap. I can put 4 through the same hole, but the 5th usually is a flyer about 0.5″ away. Really great performance at a really cheap price! The Daisy pellets leave a shocking amount of graphite(?) and/or lead on the fingers. Load one Daisy pellets and your fingers will be black (not grey). The pellets are black, not grey as well. It’s not lead, because my fingers stay black after scrubbing them in the sink. I go back and forth between whether the Daisy or the Gamo are better. -Gamo Match Diablo wadcutters: these are just as good as the Daisy Flat Nose pellets EXCEPT the 5th “flyer” is usually closer to 1”-2” off target. Not a big deal, but not as good as the Umarex RWS Hobby with ZERO flyers. The Gamos opened and spilled in transit, but these are very accurate in my Crosman 2240. My next order included Gamo pellets and someone took the time to scotch tape them shut (thank you!) so they wouldn’t spill everywhere. I go back and forth between whether the Daisy or the Gamo are better. These are also really cheap, and show up for less than four bucks as a free add-on for Prime users. -Gamo Magnum Energy “Spire” Point: these looked HORRIBLE in the tin, many skirts were malformed and the casting flash was so bad it looks like they are designed with two full-body fins running from tail to point…however: they really weren’t that bad. Shots 1-3 were fairly close (not same hole) but there would be 1 or 2 flyers in the a group of 5 that would go in random directions about 3” off target. Still, I was very surprised these did so well. -Excite “Plinkin”: these came with the same exact sealing sticker around it as the ‘fancier’ H&N targets (see below) so maybe they’re made in the same factory? When I saw that I had high hopes. Funny is that they were awful and the H&N were even worse! The 2nd shot was about 3” from the 1st, and the 3rd shot was the same distance in the opposite direction, the next two shots were also just all over the place. No point in using these in my particular pistol. -Crosman Premier Hollow Point: this is a rounded head pellet with a big dimple in the front. They’re cheap and come in a 500 tin pellet. These pellets are made by the same people as my pistol. The result however is even worse than the Excite pellets: you aim at the center of the target and take 5 shots. They end up 4” away from each other. The Crosman are so bad I thought my scope was broken! Seriously! I was in danger of missing the paper target complete with these-once at the top, once to the left, once to the right and just wacky performance. Bizarre! I literally starting swearing out loud thinking my scope was destroyed. Then I loaded some other pellets and everything was fine. I went back to the Crosmans again and again over the weeks and they’re always just awful! -H&N Sport Field Target: these have what looks like a bb stuck into the front of them. DANGEROUSLY INACCURATE. The only thing worse than the Crosmans in my pistol. Again, it’s difficult to keep these on the 8.5”x11” target, let along the tiny little pencil eraser sized bulls eye! So fancy. So expensive. So bad. I was really surprised! So there you have it. If you have a Crosman 2240 you should give the Umarex/RWS “Hobby” flat nosed sport wadcutters a try. You fire 5 shots-see a single hole and worry you missed the paper completely-until you walk up to the target and see 5 pellets in the same hole. Nice! I also highly recommend the Winchester 3x-7x air gun scope. Sooo much fun being zoomed into your target! I’m a librarian by day, at night I kill racoons with .177 hollowpoints; but with .22s I’m going for paper targets. Kind of backwards I know, but I have fun. By the way: In .177 Benjamin HP’s are the best in my Gamo Silent Cat rifle, and my Crosman Fury likes Gamo Tomahawk pellets: I’ve tried about 13 different pellets so far in the rifles so far. The point? Keep trying different pellets in all your guns. With my two break barrels (and a really old break barrel I found in a garbage can) I can put pellet after pellet through the same hole with the aforementioned pellets. The garbage can rifle is about 40 years old and only shoots around 500fps or less—and shoots perfectly with pretty much any pellet. Same with an old 10 pump I have: bull’s-eye after bull’s-eye. Oh, the best thing you can do for a neat pellet trap is to: fill the bottom of an empty yellow kitty litter bucket with 12 pounds of Electricians putty (not plumber putty-electrician putty). Tip the bucket on it’s side and the putty will stop hunting rounds out of a 1250fps .177 Gamo Silent Cat break barrel rifle and .22 Crosman 2240 pistol. Photos attached. My .177 reviews have pics of the actual targets. For these pellets I’m putting photos of my electricians putty pellet catcher (and the tins of pellets with the best at top and worst at bottom). I think if you click my reviewer name “-“ it’ll take you to my other reviews. If not, oh well, -Mike from Detroit

   Pellets for the price and with PRIME shipping it was nice to get them so quickly. Consistency amongst them isn’t exactly perfect but for the most part they’re all good.

   I bought these to see if I could replicate the muzzle velocity for my Browning Leverage 22 caliber air rifle that was stated by the supplier who indicated these were the test pellets upon which the velocity claims were made. Despite that I did not achieve the supplier’s stated muzzle velocity with these pellets, firing 25 shots through a chronograph positioned 3 ft. in front of the muzzle revealed that these were the most consistently shooting pellet (from a velocity standpoint) of the 6 different pellets I tried in my air rifle. Out of the 25-shot string, the extreme spread was only 9.8fps, and the standard deviation was only 2.4fps. None of the other pellets I’ve tried even came close to the consistency of the RWS Hobby pellet. At a distance 50 ft. from the muzzle, the extreme spread increased to 44.2fps, and the standard deviation in creased to 10.7fps, again from a 25-shot string. However, these pellets only gave moderately adequate 10-shot grouping size on targets positioned 30 ft. and 50 ft. from the muzzle when fired from a benchrest, but there were flyers at both ranges.

   très précis et rapide.

   I’ve been shooting the Hobbies out of my 850 and they are very accurate and taking care of my rodent problem that’s why I bought 4 more tins

    Disapointed. Thought they would be much more accurate out of my RWS 54 Air King. Surprisingly the RWS pellets, with exception of the super points, have not been very good out of this gun.
