Gamo Lethal, .177, .177 Reviews

Most accurate and very consistent non-lead pellet that I have shot.

No changes needed.

You should try them!

They shoot pretty accurately. The plastic skirt is uniform from pellet to pellet, so performance is consistent.

They’re fairly expensive. I’m sure the manufacturing is more expensive than molding lead pellets, but the performance doesn’t justify the price.

I bought these for their supposed penetration capabilities. I tested them against Crosman destroyers, daisy wadcutters, beeman wadcutters, and daisy zinc plated bb’s. I fired them out of a daisy 880, all at 10 pumps. The penetration on a piece of oak was almost identical for every pellet. The only difference with the gamo lethal was that the plastic sleeve stopped upon entry, and only the copper core went into the wood. The depth that the copper core traveled was no deeper than any of the lead pellets, or the steel bb. The Crosman destroyer actually went the deepest by a small margin, despite deforming the most. I’ll just stick to lead pellets, they’re much cheaper and seem to offer equivalent penetration while deforming to create a bigger hole.

Had questions. Staff was very helpful. I like that it virtually lead free.

can't think of anything.

Excellent Pellets, nothing seems to penetrate better that Gamo Lethals!

Nothing

They seem to fit snug and go through anything!

Extremely accurate

As others have said, "They're a little too pricey". I'd also like to see a larger than 100 quantity.

I can't use these in my Benjamin Armada because they exceed the speed of sound and are not backyard friendly for that reason. However, in my Hatsan Jet 1, they chronographed at 950 ft./s, which is subsonic by about 150 ft./s and therefore backyard friendly. So I'm considering using these exclusively in my Hatsan Jet 1 due to the accuracy but I am also trying other high-quality alloy pellets as well.

Read from reviews on you tube

These are the best pellets for Penetration of metal!! Crazy how these things go right through a quarter!! Other pellets dent but that's it..

Have not used pellet's yet ,Plan using with Black Cat two barrel.

nothing

Just be careful.

They are to long to work right inside my rifle.

The length of the pellets

I have an old wrox paperback programming guide that is a couple inches think. these pellets made it to page 341 which was about an inch and a half into the book. 2 out of the 3 pellets were still in their skirts. The one that ejected from the skirt went about 10-20 pages deeper

got between 1252 and 1314 FPS in a Gamo Swarm Magnum Gen2 (Still breaking this nitro piston in still only around 40-50 shots through)

best pellet for ruger 1022 co2 airgun or airguns that have a clip / rotary mag. the non lead alloy used does not deform when loading the rotary wheel of my ruger and it makes for perfect and accurate shots every time. with leaded pellets they deform and get stuck in the mag during loading and its hard to manage. best pellet for small game hunting! these are my go to pellet for small game hunting. squirrels are no match for these. birds are an easy take too. they are longer than other pellets so my beretta px4 storm co2 magazine will not take them but any break barrel or single shot should be fine. i use these in the gamo break barrel and the ruger 1022 co2.

they are a little more money than others but they are worth it. id like to get these in more volume. maybe a 500 pack. id like to see them in diff weights to customize the shot a little. id get heavier pellets for pest and lighter pellets for birds.

easy to load, easy to shoot, easy to get thru a squirrel or target. not a fan of them for plinking due to the price but i suggest these pellets for anything with a mag or rotary wheel. they are slightly longer than regular pellets so make sure they fit before you fire em. i have a few tins of these in my ammo can at all times.

Light, accurate, lethal & every pellet is consistent in shape.

Price

These things are powerful, they have a copper core with a plastic skirt. These pellets have by far the most penetration I've ever seen, sadly I haven't had the money to get more to test accuracy. Assuming the 5.5grain weight is correct, I assume these will do very well. The plastic skirt had no damage on all of the 100 I received. All of the pellets were assembled correctly. The copper core is extremely tough, it will not deform easy, it managed to punch through both sides of a metal storm door and kept going. It was 2-1/8th inch of metal it went through.

The price, these are expensive. Definitely take advantage of PyramydAir's buy 3 get the fourth free deal. Instead of 18 cents a pellet you'll be paying 13.

I tested these in my Gamo Varmint and Ruger Vargis. The pellet did not break the sound barrier with either rifle, which leads me to believe they are heavier than advertised. However, this isn't a bad thing. When it breaks the sound barrier, the pellet isn't usually heavy enough to be stable in flight or be accurate.

I purchased these pellets as they are the only other pellet that has the exact same zero as my favorite lead free, and because they are so accurate in my Gamo Hunter Extreme in .177

They are pricey.

For a hyper-sonic pellet they are quiet.

I have used these in a few pellet PISTOLS with great results, they are not for rifles unless you are just trying to make load noises. Specifically the Benjamin trail np pistols, they were very hard hitting and accurate in that gun, the combination can get you rabbits on the table where a rifle cannot be brought out, the trail np pistol and these pellets in a backpack and you are having a fun outing. Not recommended for squirrels, too tough, but rabbits let you get very close a lot of times, and you could kill them with a marshmallow if it were toasted enough.

They are what they are and their use is very niche, (stronger spring pistols) but in that small place they do stand out as an interesting and accurate option that seem to perform very well.

Not for strong rifles, dont waste your money, buy a top shelf light lead pellet if you want speed AND performance (wanting only the former is a running joke you dont want to be the butt of).

Playing wild

No

Good

Playing wild

no

Yes

shape, consistence, look of the pellet, few with damage

wish they worked in either of my rifles

These cost so much and you get so little. these did not shoot well in either my Silent cat and Whisper fusion IGT. Super bummed i spent damn near $20 on pellets ill never get to use. These pellets are 8.85 mm in length so they wont work in a pellet piston obviously. Good luck, I hope they work better in your rifle then they did mine.

Outstanding pellet for accuracy from my Gamo Whisper Fusion Mach 1. Bulls eyes at 50 yds easily.

Price. These pellets are extremely expensive for only a 100 count!

I have a benjamin maurader in .177 cal. I was shooting these in Benjamin trail NP2 with good results so tried these in the maurader and to my surprise, pellet on pellet at 25 yards, went to 50 yards got 1/4 inch group with ten shoots more pellet on pellet! Getting too much penetration with this pellet. Head shots on squirrels the pellet goes through and through as well as body shots. Will go through 1/2 inch pressure treated plywood. So be careful of your back stop. I'm doing this with a stock tuned maurader.

Too expensive period!

They make a quiet airgun loud due to breaking the sound barrier!
