I did a very un scientific test. I only tested the effectiveness on tin cans. The Crosman pellet only penetrated 2 layers & dinted the Third. The Gamo Buried its-self in the fifth layer. Same range same pumps. Doesn't make them hunting pellets, but they are deadly on bean & dog food cans! Jerry

I'd noticed that steel BBs often penetrate better than lead pellets, when fired at the same power level from the same gun. I figure the FPE of an air rifle shot wont garauntee a kill if the pellet doesn't cause significant tissue damage, but a deep hole in the body will kill most small animals pretty quickly.

I'll probably give them a try in my Daisy. I saw the pellets with the imbedded steel . or perhaps brass BB in the nose cavity at WallyWorld awhile back, I didn't notice what manufacturer. I'll check next time I go there . I think those were over priced for my purposes so I didn't give them much thought at the time. Just started shooting my S&W 78g again. I'd had a problem with the plumbers type O-rings I'd been using to seal the CO2 chamber plug, but I read that Transmission fluid might fix the problem of gas permability. When I stalled a new O-ring I lubed it with transmission fluid before inserting the plug. No gas leak after five days of shooting a few rounds per day. No sign of damage or pinhole leakage to the O-ring. I found a source for the OEM O-ring but they are 5 bucks plus shipping. I'll probably order a couple later on, just to be sure I have one. They probably don't make them any more. The heavier Crosman Copperhead seems to shoot best in this gun. I checked and the Raptor doesn't come in .22 caliber yet.

None of them made it thru, but the Super Colibri went deeper & made a much bigger wound chanel. Both pellets hit closer to POA. That may have been the old Savage or the equally old shooter. Tried them in my 10/22 & it wasn't worth the trouble! The Little Raptors seem to shoot well in my Crosman. Jerry

They claim 25% increased velocity, so maybe I'll get 1250 FPS? Pretty good! AC "We're Paratroopers, Lieutenant.

Ive shot them and various things and they just dont expand. I love using crosman premier hollow points for hunting.

I haven't shot my new Walther yet, so I guess I'll take them back and exchange them for heavier pellets, which are bound to be cheaper than these were. AC "We're Paratroopers, Lieutenant.

Check this site out www.charliedatuna.com Lots of airgun info on there.
