Gamo AccuTek Series Red Fire .177 Cal, 7.87 gr - 150 ct

Pros
Works very well in my Ruger Air Hawk break barrel. Had some rats stealing from my garden and these pellets were very lethal allowing for humane, instantaneous kill shots. A little more than other pellets but the ballistics are sound enough to ensure a kill shot every time with proper shot placement.

Would be good in a regular break barrel rifle, do not work in a magazine.

Pros
These are a very good concept

Cons
They will not load into my Gamo Swarm Maxim Gen 2 through the magazine, very disappointed, I just threw them away

Gamo red fire is a bit more expensive but we'll worth it ! It's difference in its performance is very much noticeable .

Pros
I like the look, infact i like how they look so much I pick and choose my targets conservatively ! So far the GAMO RED FIRE .177 PELLET shows to be extremely accurate . I don't use a scope on my shadow whisper .177 but I am on point with the stock sights . I got a headshot on fully grown ground squirell from approximately 40 yards Away I heard a loud pop and the animal was instantly killed . I am very satisfied with the performance of this product because it out performes everything else I have used .

Cons
Nothing .

This pellet is very consistent, I managed to rake three squirrels with these pellets but got barely enough penetration. I took one body shot at 6 yards out of a 1200 fps gun and only got 2 inches of penetration!

Pros
Hard hitting great expansion

Cons
Make them heavier it would help with penetration.

Pros
I bought these thinking that the penetration and expansion would be devastating at 1300 fps on squirrels. I am sure it is but if you want to find them you will still need a well-placed head shot. And, maybe a second shot to finish the job. They are very accurate and are consistent.

Cons
I wish they would offer this pellet in a heavier grain.

Always adjust your scope and sights to accurize your gun when using this pellet. It flies a bit different then most. Very deadly within 25 yards. I have not had a chance to shoot over that length. I need to share a picture.

Pros
Great accuracy. Very lethal. Excellent at killing small rodents, rats, squirrels, gophers, etc. At only 7.8 gr this is a little light but makes up by being a faster pellet. Every time I hit a squirrel or rat, it dies almost instantly due to the fact that the polymer tip disengages from the lead base and spins around inside of the rodent chewing up the innards. The lead base mushrooms out and does it job by busting through bone on impact then does more inertia damage. I have not done a head shot yet as there is no need to. Aiming just behind or beside the front shoulder will kill the rodent almost instantly. If the aim is off and you still hit the rodent it stops it immediately and you can squeeze another kill shot in seconds.

Cons
I was hoping for a 10gr pellet. This one is still light. A heavier pellet will cause greater impact and damage. The .22 version is a solid 15.4 gr with a big impact completely demolishing a small rodent up.

Tried them in my Sig mcx. It hated them. Too long for the belt mag, and narrow diameter meant jamming, misfires...I would only suggest them for bb/pellet combos...my 1860 lever action loves them.

Pros
Look cool. Not for belt/rotary mags!

Cons
Small size, a few fell out of the belt. Tend to jam.

I'am shooting them out of a hatsan supercharger vortex at about 700fps,their accurate but don't have the penetration like the ones with a metal point. shot at 3/4" plywood they bounce off the metal tipped ones stick in it.

Pros
accurate

Cons
lack penetration

All of the Gamo Red Fire (and some of their competitors' also) pellets I have shot are as accurate as flat head target pellets and much more hard-hitting. Try 'em, you'll like 'em.

These pellets are very accurate with dime sized groupings at 15 yards with a Crosman Phantom. These pellets don't penetrate as deep as others but they make up for that in expansion and destruction. They practically destroy themselves once they enter. The red tips penetrate and then destroy the pellet once inside and detach.
They are expensive however so I would recommend the Crosman Premier Piranhas as they are cheaper with 400 pellets. They shoot in the same spot as one another with no correction and penetrate deeper. I recommend sighting with the Crosmans and shooting bigger game with the Crosmans if you cant do a head shot.
I'd say these Gamos would be best for birds or headshots on rabbits. However if you don't have very good shooting skills yet I would not recommend them as they can cause severe damage and suffering for the game you are trying to kill which I can't call humane. IF you do have your shooting skills down then I'd highly recommend these for hunting.
They shoot best with higher FPS guns as the lower FPS range wont cause good enough penetration or expansion. If you are looking for a lower FPS pellet then go with the Crosmans as they will deliver what you need.

Pros
Accuracy Expansion

Cons
Price Per Shot Penetration
