Good Points

Opening the tin of Beeman Crow Magnum in.177 or .22 quality of finish and extreme uniformity are immediately evident.
The hollow point cup or head of the pellet is huge in comparison to any other pellet or brand calling itself a hollow point.
Expansion is impressive, on recovered pellets.
Performance, accuracy and weight are almost ideal.

Bad Points

Well there are no real bad points.
They do cost more to purchase sometimes 2 to 4 times the cost of regular pellet brands.
The head of the hollow point is large. So care must be taken on inserting the pellet without distorting the head when seating. If one seats it at an angle instead of straight in shot consistency will suffer.
In magnum airguns there is over penetration on pests and small quarry. Your pest will definitely go down where ever the hollow point impacts, and if it over penetrates and goes out the other side a follow up head shot may be necessary.

General Comments

What a great product, exuding quality, performance and consistent accuracy. I use both the .177 and .22 calibers on pests in my yard and garden.
The hollow cup at the head of the pellet is Huge. On recovered shots the pellet expanded and mushroomed to twice its size. I use an RWS 48 in .22 or the Beeman R-1 in .177. But by and large the pellet 99.99% of the time the crow magnums do their job of dispatch instantly. So much so that other vineyardists and ranchers who prefer an airgun to a .22 rimfire have used the Beeman Crows successfully and share information to others.
Let me explain.
I live right beside a large vineyard. There are large reddish to brown and blue grey tree squirrels and ground digging squirrels. Which both decimate my wife's garden.
Tomatoes, cucumbers, apples, walnuts, apricots, and baby lettuces. Thus the need to prevent a swarm of squirrels with ticks fleas or goodness forbid rabies, from destroying my garden.
The .177's are better on small game like quail for the pot, causing immediate incapacitation with little or no damage to meat.
So performance, accuracy and dependability make this design very worthy and necessary pellet to have in your ammo box.
