Gamo Red Fire .177 Cal, 7.8 gr - 150 ct

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.

Great

I have a pest problem and have been experimenting with different types of pellets I found that these red tip a little better then the wad cutters. Close range they do maximum damage

Great product. Unbelievable accuracy. Worth every penny. Highly recommend.

Bought these on a whim while at a local shop, figured id try one "special/novelty" pellet since i only use standard pointed tip pellets. Figured it might help a bit more in ridding the raccoons in our yard. Got home and within 20 minutes of being home, a raccoon decided to tear up our grass in the middle of our backyard while im sitting out there with my p1377 handgun and ammo :) perfect timing. Using this ammo, at 60 feet, i was able to make a head shot. The coon fell over, while reloading just incase, he tried to stand up so i took the second shot. Using these with the p1377 handgun (average 540 fps with standard 7g pellets) it is a deadly and very accurate ammo. Im really currious of the damage if using a rifle over 1000fps.

I first bought these about 3 years ago. I was a little skeptical, having had less than stellar results from some of these "fancied up" pellets. But i can say right now, that these pellets are some of the best varmint and small game pellets that i have ever used. To date I have used them on Crows, Squirrels, Rabbits, Pigeons, House finches, Starlings and more with great results. The wound trauma that these pellets create is simply amazing! I have used them out of my various airguns, with great results both in speed and accuracy. They will not let you down, BUY!

Bought these to shoot out of my gamo bone collector and to Jack up some squirrels. End result is alot of dead squirrels very pleased with these pellets they were very accurate up to about 50 yards.

I shoot varmints on my property with a Gamo Whisper and at 25 yards grouping is very, very tight. I've hit squirrels at 50 yards, but not every time, the stock Gamo scope isn't the greatest and I'm not as steady as I used to be. The light weight means a faster pellet, I have no trouble with penetration. Fit my barrell tight. Love this pellet.

My wife will not use any other she knocks those ground dogs for a loop . They penetrate and kill

I bought my first rub of these today and tried them out. I fired them from approximately 25-30 feet from the target, using my Umarex NXG APX (880 fps). These Gamo Red Fire🔥Pellets gave me the tighest shot group I've ever had! I have yet to test them on live pest (allay rats!) I'll update you on the outcome. Well worth the price! I'm sticking with these pellets!

Most accurate pellets I have used in my ruger blackhawk elite they are very accurate they also have awesome penatratiion on the down side is price and could mushroom a lot better

I only used it to set the rifle I haven't hunted with it yet. But it is very accurate ammo.

These are the pellets you're looking for.. I live in the city and we have a bad rat problem(huge rats), shot these out of a crappy daisy pump and the pellets whip right through your target.

not very accurate

These are the most accurate pellets I have found for my Benjamin Trail NP so far. They fit tightly in the breech and just shoot nicely.

I really like these. Penetration and consistent.

these pellets are accurate up to 40 yards

Accurate pellet with good expansion and shock, they really tear stuff up inside. Birds are almost always dead before hitting the ground.

I have used a lot of different ammo in my nitro piston Benjamin. These guys group the best I have seen. I have killed coyotes, rabbits, squirrel's, mink, muskrats, and beavers with these. I haven't had to put a second shot in a critter yet. I will agree that these wont blast through a critter but that isn't the point. These are highly accurate and create a big hole inside the animal. Nothing mushrooms as well with as good of penetration and accuracy period. This pellet is the only one I have found that balances those three perfectly. I am not saying it will perform well in every pellet gun, but if you have a nitro, these suckers are scary deadly!

I used crosman pointed, hollowpoint, wadcutter, destroyers, and the gamo redfires. The crosman premiere hollowpoints were a tad bit more accurate than these redfires, but they didn't mushroom very well. The redfires were a close 2nd in accuracy, but did tons of damage to the eastern cottontail rabbits invading my yard/garden.

The red fire has excellent penetration. It is super accurate and in my personal opinion my favorite for squirrels.

I bought these pellets as part of combo pack with Rocket ,Raptor, and Armour. Beware for future reference, apparently all Gamo .177s are not created equal. If you own or intend to use the P-25 or PT-85 then Red Fire are not for you. They jam the magazines. While the idea of a deadly multi-talented pellet by all these reviews sounds great, until these can be produced with a shorter polymer core, or the 25/85 Mag. extended, these may as well be split-shot at the fishing store. Come on GAMO you can do better. At least give us pistol packers a heads up. Sign me up for advanced preview if you do a retrofit.

not as great as gamo made it sound. They are ok but there not worth the amount you are going to pay for them.

The pellets did what I needed them to do, good all around use.

these are really good pellets... takes out squirrel with ease, and very accurate with solid penetration and pretty good expansion in ballistic tests that i have done.

i shoot a lot of animals on my property. I have found that these pellets are accurate and have a lot of power. because of that, I have found the pellet mushrooms and slows down to fast for good penetration on big soft targets. I have hit coons and rabbits in the shoulder at a distance of 30yards and the pellet did tons of damage, but never made it past the joint. which means on some the the game I did recover took multiple shots. It requires a well placed shot to take something as big as a coon in one shot with this ammo. I have had no trouble on squirrels, crow, or rats. I did a ballistics test with pointed pellets and the red fire. they both preform well: even in a phone book. I tried shooting through an apple at 10 yards, the red fire 50% of the time did not even pass through. the muzzle velocity of my air rifle is 1000 fps, and I like the penetrating power of a lead or alloy pointed pellet to ensure a kill on all small game that I hunt.

These are great for hunting with a lot killing power. I use them on coons ,opossum and rats, but there are not enough pellets in the tin.

Very nice...Very nice. Good pellets. I shot a squirrel in the neck with one, and it went down instantly. PWNED! Anyways, if you want to buy these pellets and are unsure if they're good or not, take my advise. They're worth it. (Kinda wish they sold these 250 ct.)

I like these, they grouped very good at 40 yd. out of my Gamo Rocket 1250.

Rocket pellets are more consistent. Some of the red tips dislodge from lead base in container.

these pellets are very, very, deadly i've shot several squirrles with them! useing a powerline 880 and tghem knock them stright out of the tree every time.

ive tried many pellets and these are not accuratce in my big cat 1200...no way...the red tips move in all the pellets..i thought removeing the tips might help but they do not...but at ten yards they seem right on...hate them, the only ammo from gamo that i like and is GOOD is the ROCKETS....sorry but these are not match grade pellets. wish they were cause i would buy them!!!!!!!

This is a great pellet, I haven't tried too many yet but I don't think I'll need to. I can shoot them on top of each other at 35yds. For a ballistic test I shot one into modeling clay at 20 yards and after digging the pellet out found a terrible wound trail that went from .177" diameter at impact to .25" diameter where the pellet stopped (approx. 2" inside clay block). The pellet itself was turned almost inside out and had a hole in the midddle where the red plastic insert pushed through. The pellet was essentially a ring with a .13" inside diameter hole and a .25" outside diameter! My first kill with the pellet was a rabbit at 20yds., head shot. The entry hole was very easy to find and clearly had a large wound channel. The pellet stopped inside its head but the opposite side of the head was pushed outward showing the force of the expanded pellet. This pellet doesn't have the penetration power of say a PBA pellet but it transmits the full power of the shot into it's target resulting in what I would say is equal to a standard .22 round. A PBA pellet would have went right through leaving a .177 hole which probably would have been okay in the head but in the body would have killed the animal very slowly unless put directly through the heart. The Red Fire might not have as deep of penetration as the PBA but you have significant penetration and the knock-down power of a larger caliber. The biggest benefit of the Red Fire is a super clean and humane kill(no suffering).

These are a very effective hunting pellet going by my ballistics tests. They do not increase speed but they have mass which makes them dig deep into a target. they flatten out nice in a glycerin block creating a nice wound track that would no doubt be fatal. I also noticed a curious thing these do. When the tip contacts the target it first pierces the target, then pushes through the back of the pellet creating a blood groove effect enabling the pellet to go farther into the target creating more destruction before it stops. Evidence says these will be a very deadly hunting pellet when spring gets here and a rather destructive groundhog and his family come up above ground to feed.

This pelet was very helpful in irradiateing rabbits in my yard ,& helps with aim,kills,& also sport along with the great costs & number.

this pellet is great, when i shot them into a phonebook at 30 feet the main lead pice was 345 pages in, and the red polymer tip was at the 410th page. it was also very accurate and hard hitting for its weight. i have kiled some mice and a squrrel with these pellets, it went right through the squrrels head, and it was dead instantly. the mice were body shots and one got 3 steeps... thats it! i highly reccomend this pellet

These pellets are deadly accurate. They will drop a groundhog at 50 yds.They are great for hunting. The cone shaped polymer tip causes deep penetration. Small Game Beware!

First thing I noticed about these pellets is how tightly they fit in my Gamo Varmit Hunter. Next thing was how accurate they are, they punched perfectly round holes in my paper targets. I have had great succes with these pellets against skunks. I used the PBA pellets and was not very happy with the accuracy or the power, yes they travel fast but the red tips really seem to hit much harder, they stop skunks dead in their tracks, literally. Bottom line, they are accurate and they hit hard, great for larger critters.
