Good Points: Very powerful, accurate
Bad Points: Very expensive
General comments: These pellets are great for hunting and are very loud in my air riflesounds like a .22 in my gun. kill possums with these pellets and it kills them fast, very powerful pellets, i highly recommend it for the small game hunters.

***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 ...

If "your" rifle shoots these pellets 1100 fps or BELOW. then this is a nice pellet. i would say very nice but but i only give one "very" per review and i'm saving my one "very" to go in front of the word "expensive". at .09 cents a pelet it's rediculous. for the little gains you get.
if "your" rifle shoots these pellets 1100 fps or ABOVE. then they are worthless. loud as a .22lr. they keyhole through targets. and take the fun out of back yard plinking and squirrel control.
Sure, i seen the v ...

I use them for hunting, they are everything claimed. i shoot mine in a, accu-air whisper 1100. when you switch back to a lead pellet you notice right away. i only pay $6.00 a hundred,if it was more then that i would not buy them,i would get closer and shoot a pointed point pellet.

I have tried these in my Webley Patriot rifle and compared them on target with about 10 other brands and types. Of all the pellets I've tried so far these are the most accurate at 10 meters; less than a quarter inch group vs about a half inch with the better lead pellets. They would probably do better if I did my part right. Most standard lead pellets at around 8 grains average about 1100 fps out of my rifle but the Raptors chrony about 1255 fps. There is a much more noticeable crack when fi ...

This pellet works really well with my medium (600fps) velocity air pistol the Crosman 1377. It gives more penetration. I shot an empty soup can at 20 ft or so and the PBA penetrated both sides of the can, Crosman premier pointed pellet (7.9 gr) will penetrate the first side and will only dent the other side of the can, the PDA pellet goes through and through. I haven't shot any small pest yet, since i heard it's illegal to hunt anything w/ an air rifle/gun here in Illinois (correct me if I'm wr ...

I used the Gamo Raptor pellets with my dad's Crosman Quest 1000x, and was about to shoot it in my Beeman HW30, but after the result of my dad's gun, no thanks. It was horrible for the Crosman. When we ordered the Crosman, we ordered for Beeman pellets, but instead we got Gamo Raptor pellets and RWS Superpoints. My dad and I just wanted to start firing his new rifle so my we really didn't care with what we used. My friend, ( uses a Beeman R7) has been using these rifles for a long time, he specif ...

A pellet such as the Raptor would be great for certain applications such as long distance shooting or possibly target competition. However, I felt that the Raptor pellets were rather lack luster in the small game department.
My Gamo Powerline 1000 is loud to begin with, and when you add the Raptor pellets the rifle is twice as loud. I may as well be using .22 rimfire ammo and a 10/22 rifle for that amount of noise.
The Raptor pellet DOES deliver what it says on the box, for that I give credit ...

They do help bring up the speed of your air rifle by about %25. They penetrate really good. I shot one into a piece of wood and then recovered it, only to find out that nothing happened to it other then some of the gold plating gone. Still reusable if not damaged when shot, although you shouldn't do that but i only used the ones that weren't damaged a lot, which hardly anyone of them were.

I shot the Gamo Raptors from my Air Arms S410. The Gamo Pro Magnum runs at 740 ft/sec and the Raptors runs between 881and 901 ft/sec. I have not looked at accuracy yet.

These things do pack a really good punch for a .177 cal pellet, i'm shooting out of my Crosman 2100 Classic that shoots about 795 fps with lead these things go right around 965 975 on the chrono i can shoot accurately to about 55 yards and than they drop pretty badly but on under 50 yards i've killed many many squirrels 1 possum 2 woodchucks 5 crows. They really did surprise me though when i took down a beaver from 40 yards one shot to the head, really good for hunting just save up and make good ...
