[pindog2000]

LOOKING AT THE BEST PELLETS TESTED FOR THE GAMO BIG CAT UP TOO 30YRDS WHATS YOU GUYS TAKE???

[cteneyck]

i have found that the crossman premier hollow points give me a quater size group at 20 meters (aprox 70 feet).

CROSMAN PREMIER 7.9 ARE EXCELLENT

[pindog2000]

the 7.9 hollow points or domed

The best pellet is what YOUR gun shoots...
Just because Joe Blogs gun shots X pellet dosn't
mean yours will......but it will give you a start point..

THANKS BUT ITS PROVEN CERTAIN PELLETS WORK GREAT IN CERTAIN GUNS JUST TRYING TO GET ADVICE SO I DONT BUY THE WRONG KINDS

[pgsmith]

The same model of gun can like different pellets, but mine so far likes the crossman premier hollow points and at $7 a tin of 500 from Walmart I like them too.

thats what ive heard

In my big cat it loves JSB exacts and the preditors. Unlike a lot of others on here none of the crossman premiers are very accurate in my rifle. Not sure why because they seem to be uniformly made and of good quality. I just got some RWS domed pellets the other day and they are all over the place at 25 yards.  :0 I stay with pellets that are about 7.9-8.4 grain.

Hi from Austin TX,
I.m still hunting:(
mine don't like Crosman of any type??
I've just got the 4 pack of Gamo 117. 4.5, Magnum-7.87gr,Hunter 7.56gr,Match 7.71gr,& Master Point 7.87gr.
hope I dont step on anyones boots here But so far my Q 1000 out shoots my big cat! using crosman Hunter Permium point 7.90.
I'm wating for my GRTIII 's to come in ordered on thr 4th.
I just put a 3x9x42 Bushnell on the Big cat my Beanch is set up it 20 yards.
The Quest 1000 is a shooter, group 1" at 20 yards, I'm happy with that .
& yes I have to site it in everytime I just get us to it .
(?) has anyone used Gamo pellets?
Regard
RD

I buy every kind of pellets I can find I realy like the sample packs to do group testing on a new rifle,and later on after the gun breaks in it might not like the same pellet and ask yourself is this going to be your last airgun?It's aways good to have some exrta lead laying around!Hell I bought some of those gamo roundballs to try in a custom 177cal 2240 they shoot like crap in it but will keep them and try them in my next 177cal pcp to see how they will do and I might get a sling shot just to see if they will work with it and if it comes down to it I will melt them down to recast into something else.And Kiwi is right just because one guy gets supper tight groups with cphp's in his bigcat doesn't mean that you will, you realy have to try every pellet till you find the one that groups the best for you!

My Big Cat likes the Crosman Hunting (Cheap ones in a milk carton box) and Crosman Premier Hollow Pts.  Likes the CPHP`s best.....but I shoot the Hunt pellets more because they`re less expensive.  I can shoot all day off-hand at spent shotgun shells out to 40 yards with the BC/Crosman Hunt pellets.....and knocking them...actually making them fly away 7 out of 10 times.

I find most if not all the Crosman Premier pellets have a hard skirt....and this could hamper their accuracy if they`re not snug in the breech.  If they`re abit loose, the air behind them might not be able to expand the skirt to trap the air....resulting in inconsistancy in velocity.

That`s why I find the pellets with a softer skirt shoots better.  Btw, I also find the RWS SuperDomes not too accurate....don`t know why, but none of my airguns have that pellet in the top 4.  They`re domed and their skirts`soft.....should shoot great.....but they don`t.

[gamo2hammerli]

The only Gamo pellets I have are the .177 Gamo Match. Most of my airguns like them....but I don`t use the pellets too often with the "1000" fps guns.....the pellets seem abit too light (Only 7.5gr....although the newer packaging states them as 7.7gr). Since we`re talking about the Big Cat.......my BC puts the Gamo Match in the top 5 ranking at 10 meter distances. Don`t know how they`ll do further out though.

As a side note; My Crosman Sierra Pro shoots the Gamo Match pellets at above the 950fps range (I chronographed them)....and I use this combination to shoot the 25 Yard Open Sights Rifle Match. If I do my part I can get 2 1/2" groups.

My Gamo Viper got those babies in the 980fps range....one even reached 995. And those are real numbers....not the advertised hype. That`s why I don`t shoot the Gamo Match pellets much....don`t want ruined springs, pistons, seals etc.

Hey I just picked up the 4 pack , & your right the Match is 7.71gr.

hey we needed the rain & here it is for 3 days now.
