General Comments
***this review is a follow up from my initial review last year***
I CANNOT find a use for these pellets. YES they do make your pellet rifle seem more powerful. But at a cost.
the costs are
-accuracy
-noise
-penetration
The alloy is so light, that magnum air rifles 'CRACK" as the pellet leaves the barrel. this speed also makes the pellet wobble while in flight.
SO, the very thing that the manufacturer BOASTS about, makes it a horrible product.
You cant hunt with it, and targets are OUT.
you do the rest.
On average, people found this review very helpful

Finally someone who has seen their error and admits it, how refreshing. These pellets stink. Over priced, over penetrate (for hunting any way), ricochet and ruin you barrel, scope & piston seals. But they do make that loud BANG, hey let's add annoying neighbors to the list of good things these pellets do.
