Superb Pellet, Great Accuracy! I only use these and JSB 18.0 Grain Pellets. Ive bought alot!! of Pellets and these are the best! ive come acrossed. I shoot the Air Force Condor 22cal.

Wish they made it in 18.0 grain

I always clean my Pellets no matter what ones i use, and slightly! oil my Pellets. If u oil to much your accuracy will suffer greatly! So only tiny amount.

At an average of 937 fps these rival HN Barracudas out of my (modded) Disco (original barrel). Both printed a hair over a half inch ctc at sixty yards under low wind conditions, gun on a sleeping bag on a plastic lawn table. I was shooting alright that day but could tell the gun was more on point than myself.

Stop using the same plastic tips on the .25's as the other calibers, the lip between lead and polymer is somewhat large

Keep a close eye on where your quarry falls because that's where you'll find it

Accurate, penetration, flat trajectory.

pricey

These chronograph at 640 FPS in a Crossman NP and 750 FPS in a Benji NPXT. I zero my scope with Ultra mags and use these when it is time to exterminate the zombie tree rats.

Decent accuracy, good consistency in size, no damaged skirts

A bit pricey, and I feel that the polycarb tip is more of a gimmick than an actual enhancement.

These are interesting pellets which IMHO would do just as well or better with a hollow dome tip. I'm shooting a Walther Talon Magnum and velocity with these is probably close to 1000 fps, which may be part of the fair-to-good accuracy I get. As another reviewer mentioned, I think that these will perform best at lower velocities, since the pointed tip tends to set up aerodynamic buffet just below Mach 1 (1100 fps). All that aside, these give good penetration and should be very good hunting pellets for most springers, although there are other less-expensive pellets that would serve the purpose just as well.

these pellets are as accurate if not more so than any pellet i've tried in my mrod.

nothing

you have to modify (easily done) the magazine in the mrod for this pellet to work. it's slightly too long to work without modifying the magazine.

This pellet is quite accurate, clean and shot well in my Crosman 140 and Tech Force 89. This pellet seems to work best in about 600 fps guns as it is a waste other wise. Expansion only seems to occur when shot in the higher fps range and then "Howdy".

This is great pellet,clean and no bent skirts.

I do alot of night shooting and although these are laser accurate for small targets like rats and stuff, you never know what you are going run into during the night everything from racoons to coyotes i would love to see this one come in 21 grains like the 21.14 H&N baracuda. my BSA scorpion T10 shoots theses with the same POI as the 21.14 H&N baracuda. But the baracudas shoot farther and harder.

Something very strange happend normaly these polymags blow anything away that they come into contact with a loud thwack. well let me tell you i nailed a rat at about 18 yards i heard the thwack so when i went down to see were i got em i found it and bent down to pick it up, but before i could grab it it jumped up and ran away. I have now switched back to the 21.14 H&N baracuda and have'nt looked back.

Flatter trajectory. I ran out of elevation compensation using other standard pellets until I switched to the Predators in my RWS 460. Ballistic curve had only half the drop the other pellets I was using at 105 yards. When I hit the water filled pop can it split the can open a good two inches on entry which means I should have been able to take a squirrel down at that distance humanely.

Doubling the count in a can would be nice. It would be even nicer to add a screw on lid. A lower cost would be nice also but I don't mind paying a premium price for a pellet that I know delivers premium performance.

When I was shooting at 105 yards I had a variable side/head wind and the temperature was in the 90s and you could see the heat waves coming off the ground. Didn’t affect the performance of the pellet at all, it didn’t wobble or tumble and the entry hole was round. I normally don’t use this pellet unless I’m targeting larger varmints or longer distances. At close distances or small animals the pellet will go right thru them. From pellets I’ve recovered, virtually all expanded inside the animal.

What can I say that hasn't already been said? These are the gold standard in hunting pellets.

500 count screw on lid.

Don't mistake these for a gimmicky pellet people buy because they look cool. They are very accurate in most guns and once you try one tin you'll always keep them on hand.

They do have a lot of knock down power, but not any more than the crow magnums. Not as accurate as they could be, need to lose the little red plastic tip I think.

The price, very expensive.

Throw a couple on your desk, very good conversation starter.

accuracy, knock down power, huge devistating holes

offer a 500 pack, lowering price a little would be nice

if your gun likes these then they are awsome for hunting. i use them in my discovery and that gun shoots them great at 55 yds. they cause massive damage to small game, big holes and drops them. the 15.9 gr exacts have the same poi as these in my gun so i can practice with them and hunt with these, so glad i was luck with that.

best pellets out in the world.....super accrate....killed a full size deer with this pellet...benjamin nitro trail....

price..... =(

Try them you would love how thay preform!!!!!

Most of them group well (best are within 1" circle) in my Marauder Rifle at 50 Yards with 4 3/4 inch drop from a zero set for 20 yards. The 5.53 head group iwth fewer outliers but they were out of stock.

The price is high in comparison with Crosman Premier Ultra Magnum and Crossman Premier Hollowpoint. They are a heavier hunting ammo than the Crosman making them attractive and I would offer a 500 tin at a better price.

The Marauder Rifle grouping at 50 yards prefers the Baracuda Match sorted for the 5.53 head. However, these "5.53" were on backorder at PA so I got these.

penetration and performance. very accurate in my Mac1 Discovery. Rips apples apart at 30 yards. Not for target shooting but excellant hunting pellet.

more for your money.

My Remington nps did not shoot them as good as disco but stil accurate enough to hunt with.

These are accurate and hard hitting, and they look pretty mean too.

Very impressed with its expansion and energy upon impact.

Nothing!

I found the approximate 2 grains difference from a Crosman Premiere required aiming a little higher even at 50 feet. Just something you have to keep in mind when changing pellets. Excellent pellet for its intended purpose though!

These pellets are MEAN! They destroyed my pellet gun trap! LOL... these in .22 cal combined with my new Benjamin Trail NP XL 1100 dented and deformed my pellet target trap badly at 30 yards!

Make some heavier ones and some lighter ones in the .22 cal size... Just so the "hunter" could have more options.

this is one tuff little pellet. built very well and the skirts are perfect. this pellet is areodinamic and hits like a mack truck great quality and great value. this is a true hunting pellet. Rich u.s.a.

nothing at all

this is not your average pellet. kills anything it totches,leaves gaping wound chanels.

This pellet is the sickest thing I have ever shot. It expands to one and a half times its size, and will take rock chucks down with no problem.! What more can I say then WOW!!!!

Wish they make them in 14.3 gr....

These are groundhog busters, one shot one kill out to 70 yards. I've been shooting them in my Beeman Rs2 and there tack drivers out to 100 yards. On my 6th pack and only two deformed pellets.

some what dirty but not as bad as others

must have a gun that will push them past 550 fps to get the most out of them.
