RifleExpertDonnie's Review of GAMO .177 Rocket
18th Jul 2008
Overall Rating
- Value for money
I'm with the guy above me...they look neat. Plus the see through lid is pretty cool. I'm not sure why, but it is.
Bad Points
(1)They're expensive. (2) ZERO consistency!!! I put 2 tins of 250, (500 total) through a 1000 fps springer, and MORE of them had excess lead at the seams than DID NOT!!! I had to "Clean" the excess lead off with my thumbnail at first, till I realized that MOST of the pellets had it on them. After that I always used my knife to clean them. (3)Horribly inaccurate. Without cleaning off this excess lead, you might as well close your eyes and shoot. It would be just as effective. I did this just for experimentations sake. If you do bother yourself to clean off the lead, and I hope you realize just HOW MUCH THAT BOTHERED ME to have to do that, they're a little better, but not much. I won't bore you with the details of all my groupings and such, because I'd be too embarrassed to admit just HOW BAD my scores were using them!!! (4) I also noticed that my hands were EXTREMELY dirty after handling them, but I always attributed it to how much I had to handle the pellets to clean them. Since normal pellet exposure was not an option for me, I guess I really can't say.
General Comments
Try them yourself if you don't believe just how bad they are.
