Good Points: fast. good penetration. sounds like a bigger crack.

Bad Points: accuracy not as good in my gun. does not deform on impact. most expensive slug i have purchased.

General comments: The Raptor shot higher than the other pellets i use (Lead) not consistently accurate on a target at 20m but goes 5mm further into a phone book back stop. Definitely shoots faster, I have Gamo CFX .177 claims 1000fps, the raptor goes supersonic (1125fps) down the field.

The Gamo Raptor Precison Ballistic Alloy Pellets is way over priced, and i cant say if there truly good or bad, but i can say dont buy these pellets!, i bought them went home put the 177 pellets into my 177 gun and when ever you pull the trigger all you hear is like air leaking, and or break the berrel and the pellet is still there, non of them worked, like i bought cromsan pointed hunting pellets and they work better and there sooo bad, im seriously pisssed, that i cant shooot the pellets.

Not too accurate, overpriced, and as loud as a .22 LR. I hate this pellet, and will never buy it again.

Per the chronograph I was getting 1030-1100 fps in magnum rifles. Poor grouping and loud crack breaking sound barrier. My CZ 631 was extremely accurate at 10 meters with Beeman wadcutters. The average chrony was 600 fps but with PBA 800 fps. So it does help with fps but not accuracy in my experience. I still am sold by Crossman Premiers and a couple of Beeman pellets for overall performance and price.

Don't waste your money on these expensive gimmicky pellets. They go faster, but that is all. I shot 3.5 inch groups at 20 yards with my RWS 54. With Crosman Premiers, I shot 1/4 inch groups at 20 yards.

I purchased these to try to get a flatter trajectory for shooting distant "objects." I couldn't hit anything with them and seriously doubt that they have the penetrating power of lead pellets after reading the pages online

These pellets came with my Gamo Big Cat (1000 fps lead, 1200 PBA), and I was attracted to them because they were lead-free. They break the sound barrier, and so they create a sonic boom. Gamo claims they are stable at supersonic speeds, but most user reviews disagree.

However, with Daisy lead shots, I missed a plastic bottle 50 yards out 3 times, but with the PBA, I hit it on the first shot. I don't know if it's a testament to the PBA, or shows how poorly made Daisy pellets are. I have yet to t ...

They cost to much. for what they do, for the price they should be shooting 1/8 inch groops at 20ft[ tear drop. Hit and miss, not very good. not even at 20ft. Hit and miss, not very good. not even at 20ft

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 like the Gamo Raptor Precision Ballistic Alloy Pellets a lot, I have found them to be of a good quality but they need to cheaper in my opinion.

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 ...
