H&N Excite Hammer, .177 Reviews

Good pellets

nothing I can see so far.

Very good shooting pellet. I have shot the 22 pellet and it worked very well. Thought I'd try the 177 works great!

Consistency of head sizes and not many defects Shame only comes in 4.50mm heads and measurements on 10 shows Very good 4.49-4.50mm which is way better than Wally World crosman hollow points

For some reason after testing in 12 if my high quality springers none likes them R9 (likes much bigger heads)no Diana 34 no UK Webley LongBow no Air Arms Pro Elite no BSA Duper Star and Super Sport no On and on POI was also way off Strange as felt good pushing in breech and the same pellet in 22 cal was liked by about all same guns in 22cal

Great in 22 cal not 177 for me maybe in low power CO2 guns

Clean and precisely made pellets by H&N. Uniform, almost no debris in the tins. The .177 seems to perform like its bigger sibling the Hammer in .22.

Not at thing. The pellet flies true and is extremely consistent in my springers on my 10 M basement range.

A nice compromise between a wadcutter and a dome. It is, of course, a dome pellet, but I say, "compromise" as its dome is a very flattened arc. That helps, in particular, in loading the underlever Diana 430L through the loading port.

The usual H&N product: clean, uniform, precisely made. The round nose helps feeding it into the breech in my underlever Diana 430L; a particularly difficult thing to do because of the nature of the breech on this rifle.

Not a thing. I have been using the .22 edition of this pellet for some time and they are quite precise and fly true.

A good general use pellet that fares well in target use.

Inexpensive, yet very good quality.

Work great in my HW30S.

Easy to load and accurate. Good price.

Nothing.

Very pleased with this ammo. Bought four tins (2000 rounds) without testing first and gamble paid off. Shoots very well with the Beeman P1 and the Beeman P17. When I finally get through the stockpile of everything else I have including this purchase I will be buying this exclusively as long as it’s available.

Heck of a bargain for a 500ct tin of very clean, quality casted lead.

Nothing...Backyard hobbyist deal that can't be beat.

Pellet tins come packed and secured with much love and care.

Excellent quality. Very consistent. Good price.

More rounded head maybe.

I recently purchased these in .177 and .22. The quality appears to be top shelf. I have not had much chance to shoot them as of yet, but from what I have seen so far they are very accurate at closer ranges.

everything was done great

Value. Performance. Consistency.

Good all around pellet for plinking or hunting light game.

the weight the size the price

nothing

they work perfectly in my crosman 1077 that use

Cheap but good. Especially for under 10 meter pistols.

Still doesn't shoot as consistently as high end pellets, but for that, you get what yo pay for.

Pyramid packaging is the best! I order pellets from Midway and Amazon from time to time, but always arrived banged up (MIdway probably the worst). Pyramid air understands the need of airgunners, that pellet even in tins need to be handled with care. Now I know I can order my next high end pellet batch from Pyramid without worries.

Great price, consistent, accurate and they don't get my hands caked with graphite.

Nothing

Stock up and shoot and shoot and shoot!

Pellet seems clean and well made.

So far it hasn't proved to be very accurate in any of my air rifles. It's a good plinker, but can't recommend it for outstanding accuracy. Good enough for tin cans up to 20yds.

Great price. Accuracy is generally decent in spring pistols, except for my Diana LP8 which does not like these.

The pellets I received were somewhat oxidized, and sticky-greasy with lube. The skirts were unevenly ribbed as well, with areas around the circumference that had clear "ribbed" lines and others that lacked ribbing, as if the pellet did not fully fill the mold when cast.

If these become cleaner and more visibly consistent in shape in further production runs, what is now a good pellet will most likely become a great one, and a great value from H&N. Shooting JSB's all the time gets expensive. :)

No bent skirts, accurate out of my .177 rifles (tyrant xgp, gamo outback maxxim). Hard hitters. 1/2 groups at 15 yards with open sights.

Nothing

These really are hammers. Chest shots on pigeons at 15-20yards drops em, no fluttering away, just drop. I prefer these to cphp's in .177 for around the same price.

Nothing

Don't know

Not one of my guns like these pellets

NIce quality pellet; clean, accurate, consistent out of the tin.

Nothing I can think of. Maybe a screw-on top for the container? Only a matter of time for me to be picking up a few hundred pellets off the floor in the garage....

These are round nose, not as round as some others, but not flat wad cutters. They have good weight, shoot well. I like them a lot, and you will too. They are for sport shooters, not guys who measure and weigh their pellets and who think that makes a big difference. Let me put it another way; if you are shooting $2,000 guns, these might not be for you. I'm shooting $100 pistols and they work just great.
