no jams

nothing

Kinda heavy, after several quick shots (on a cold day) they really drop off but that's a function of CO2 rifles.

These pellets are extremely well made. The accuracy and consistency is superb. I weighed them on my powder scale and they are precise.

There is nothing I would change.

I bought these, along with several other brands, sizes, and weights of pellets in order to find something that would come close to accurate in my NPS...... an extraordinary task... They are a little too light for the NPS, but in my HW50S they are tack drivers. I also use them in a highly modified 1377 and a P17, and they punch the same hole so often that I question if I missed all together. As long as you use them for their intended purpose, I don't think you can buy a better pellet.

Accuracy and price. Shoots well in my IZZY 46 pistol and RWS 54 rifle. I am testing these against the RWS Match R10.

Factory packaging keeps the lid on in shipping but it sure would be nice to have a screw on lid after opening the first time.

This was a educated guess as what to buy as there are so many pellets to choose from. WAG at best.

Consistancy. These shoot very tight groups out to 30yards from my Ruger AirHawk Elite. I've tested 8 other pellets and these provide the best accuacy. These pellets perfoem better than the hollow point or pointed on small animals, I.E. rats.

Try a sample pack of RWS pellets it's worth the time and money.

My Crosman Challenger PCP just loves Meisterkugeln pellets. I bought a boat load of them.

World-class quality pellets at a reasonable price.

Good accurate Pellet for my .177 M-Rod

nothing

Good accuracy and they hit hard. They look very consistently made and have a clean appearance.

I still get the occasional flyer, which is to be expected I suppose.

Overall a very good pellet in my Nitro Venom Dusk .177

Most accurate pellet I have shot thru my RWS 34 Pro compact Meisterschutze .177...very tight groups.

Nothing

Fantastic pellet. Extremely accurate. Crisp target holes. Clean pellet and very uniform and consistent.

Nothing

Crossman 760 (vintage '82) loves these pellets.

Accuracy, consistency good QC as there are no deformed pellets. Will shoot great with my RWS Diana MeisterSchutzen, and Gamo CFR rifle.

CHANGE NOTHING

Great for competition or zeroing your air rifle. I have shot these for a while and most air rifles should shoot these in dime sized groups or smaller from up to 35 yards all day.

My Air Venturi Bronco loves these. They are well made and seem to be very uniform.

Nothing

Good bang for the buck!

No deformed pellets. Every pellet was in perfect condition and very uniform.

Nothing.

I shoot these in a Gamo Bone Collector rifle. These pellets shoot tight groups. I have not yet had any flyers from these pellets. Try them in your rifles that shoot 1000 fps and you will NOT be sorry.

None

Better quality control, some of the pellets have deformed skirts. Accuracy not on par with German manufacture.

Recommend H&N wadcutter match pellets, even the Laser Sport wadcutters from H&N are better than these RWS. Been shooting H&N wadcutters since 1985 and in the Beeman R8 they shoot 5 pellets in same hole at 10m. Between the rifle and the pellets if you miss its the shooter....

Consistent from shot to shot, come 500 to a tin

These don’t shoot quite as well as the Beeman H&N Match pellets out of the pair of RWS air rifles that I own. However that is only for field applications, the Beeman pellets are slightly lighter and shoot flatter. The point of impact between the two is significant though- at least in my air rifles. These RWS pellets are very consistent for their intended purpose, 10 meter match shooting, and these will put ten shots in the same hole at that distance. I only shoot the H&N match pellets as a matter of personal preference.

Obviously well made pellets. I do not have a means to measure or weigh them, so I can not speak to their consistency. I have essentially found no damaged pellets in two tins.

Nothing.

These are "match grade" and are a widely used pellet for competitions, so they have an excellent reputation. Per the Umarex website, "they generally perform best at about 20 yards." I am assuming that means less than 20 yards since match pellets are generally designed for 10 meter competition. The only 0.177 air gun I have is an RWS 34P, so this is the only rifle I have tested these pellets with. I wanted to like these pellets, and I wanted my gun to like these pellets. But, my gun does not like these pellets. I have had inconsistent groups at both 10 and 20 yards. However, it has nothing to do with the pellets themselves. I do not have a Chrony yet, but my 10 for $10 test resulted in 7.1 grain Beeman Lasers at an average of 936 fps. So, I am assuming that these Meisterkugeln 8.2 grain wadcutters are being propelled at 850-900 fps. My RWS 34P simply likes heavier pellets over 10 grains. For lower-power and competition air guns shooting at 500-600 fps, I have no doubt that these pellets would shine.

8.2 gr. Meisterkugeln pellets are almost indistinguishable from the R10 version at a better price, if you are not a top level competitor and your gun isn't fussy about *exact* pellet diameter, you will never notice the difference. I get one-hole groups from my RWS/Diana 100 single stroke pneumatic rifle with these pellets when shot off a rest.

The last batch of these I purchased came in a cardboard and plastic package intended for retail/hang display... What a waste of materials! Maybe Pyramid got a great deal on a batch packaged this way, but if not, then I wish they would go back to stocking these without the excess packaging!

If you want to target shoot with match grade accuracy but the top level pellets seem a bit too expensive, then these are your pellets! In my Diana 100 I can't detect a difference between these and R10 or H&N Finale Match.

clean, accurate,precision made,worth the extra cost

nothing

my first can of these.impressed and happy with the results ,so far.worth the extra cash

This is a great target round. I haven't owned a gun yet that didn't shoot these well. I love these for target shooting and very small game hunting such as English sparrows so you don't over penetrate. I have a tin of these in .22 cal I will be trying out in my Airforce Talon SS soon as well. -J

Nothing!

Quality pellets that are friendly shooting for almost any gun.

Consistent groupings from 20-30 yards. Love them for target practice.

Well, they could be less expensive!

Pellets fly true eveytime

great service
