Good Points

Twin sealing ringed dome head with ribbed skirt.

Bad Points

Didnt group as tight as some of the cheaper pellets I tested.

General Comments

The Webly Harrier pellet in .177 (tested) weighs just 6 grains and 12 grains in .22, and is perfect for low powered air rifles, I would describe them as plinking pellets, and it was as far as they got in my case as they werent consistent enough to even think about taking into the field. But dont rule them out of testing them yourself as different rifles like different pellets, you may find that they damage easily as the skirt is very thin, also they might be a tight fit due to the sealing rings filling the barrel too well, but if they work for you you are onto a cheap winner.
Because of the light weight they have a slightly faster velocity and shots taken in .177 out to 30 yards seem instsantaneous, which I think adds to the fun factor of plinking, for can mangling yes but for live quarry a definate no no.
They come in an orange tin with a pellet on it that looks nothing like whats inside the tin, I think the full name is Webly Hustler Harrier, though you wouldnt think they had anything to do with Webly, on witnessing performance, probably why they brought out the Lazapell range, but try them for yourself, if they work you are laughing at £3.00 for 500 they are easy enough on the pocket.

    How powerful is the rifle which you tested the pellets with? The reason you're getting such a wide spread may be because you're using a lightweight pellet in a powerful gun. If your rifle is anything more powerful than 10 ft/lbs in power then a 7 grain pellet would be thrown out of the barrel with such force that it'd become unstable.
    I'd like to add to this review but first I need to actually get some webley Harrier pellets. I'll shoot them through my 3 ft/lbs webley Nemesis pistol, same manufacturer of both gun and pellets, light pellets in a lower-powered gun... Could bring good results!

    I was firing them out of a Diana that does around and I use that term loosely, 6-8 ftlbs.

    Heyyyyyy! I got some .177 Harriers and tested then in my custom Webley Nemesis. My group was indeed tighter than my previous pellets, which were Milbro Clipper .177 (Absolute garbage). I'll do a full review of the Harriers in a second, but you could justifiably say that you get what you pay for. They're decent pellets but don't expect to win any trophies with them.
