Good Points: Good knock down power for hunting,Fairly cheap,Uniform size and shape
Bad Points: Not so good at longer ranges
General comments: I like these pellets and use them all the time in my Weihrauch which is .22 caliber. R.W.S is a German firm so it makes sense that they should work well in a German gun. I think that they are very good value for money. The pellets are all the same diameter and I have yet to find a deformed one. They are polished and feel slightly oily like they have been lubricated in the factory. I use them for hunting all the time because they have good knock down power due to their flat heads. I kill all my rabbits with head shots and find that these pellets are messier than domed pellets doing more damage to the skull and yet they never drill right through the rabbits head even at ranges of ten yards or so, this means the energy from the pellet is transfered into the quarry killing cleanly. The only disadvantage is that they are not accurate in my gun after 30 yards. This is not a problem for me as I can usually get closer than that before shooting. Over all a very good pellet, great value for money and good for hunting at fairly short ranges.

Got a tin of these for 3 quid. These pellets look very high quality as they are polished and there are no abnormalities. Unlike other brands I did not find anything in the tin other than 177 RWS hobby's.
Their accuracy is ok, however a dome would do better. Leaves nice circular holes in paper.
Also another note is that when I shot some into wood it appeared that that had to hit head on. Maybe because I was shooting at an angle at the time.
The price of these pellets is astounding. 3 qui ...

This review is for the RWS Hobby flathead pellets. These are the lightest .22 cal LEAD pellets around. They have good accuracy at shorter ranges (20-25 yards) but their grouping gets much worse after that at least in my guns. I shoot almost exclusively magnum (20-24 ft lbs) or super magnum (25-35 ft lbs) piston guns. Whether you may be shooting piston guns or PCP, if you push pellets above 1200-1300 fps they will tumble and accuracy will be awful. Obviously the lighter the pellet the higher the ...

I bought a couple tins of RWS Hobby flathead pellets because they were fairly cheap. They were still more than one cent a piece, which is what I paid last time I bought pellets, but I thought they looked nice. Each pellet looked just like that last one, and they are very nice to handle. That makes them easy to load. I have found other pellets to be much harder to load because they tend to be rounder on the edges, but the crisp sharp edges of the Hobby pellet makes them really to hold onto. ...

The RWS Hobby flathead pellets are excellent good value target pellets at about £2.50-£3, they will hit a target exactly where you want even with a plinker pistol like a G2005 Lazerhawk. Very easy to load and because they are German they work, in a rifle shot by a good shooter. They are the best in tere price range for target shooting. If you are used to using bb's in your pistols these are about the same and better in a rifel (as it has a lot more power and can rip though a target e ...
