Gamo Red Fire .177 Caliber Pointed Pellets with Polymer Tip - 150 Count Tin - Red/Lead

Turns my .177 rifle into a solid, humane squirrel killer. Good shot placement is still required. Also great for target and plinking. No problems with misshapen pellets. I also shoot the .22 version and love it there. I'll keep buying them.

These things opened up a hole in my tree! They are accurate and travel about the speed of sound. Every one has fit in my rifle. The power behind them is almost unthinkable compared to my other rounds and they feel like a better lead material than my gamo ones. The plastic tips disappear on impact but the lead goes through many different things. I think I paid $12 and they are so worth that .

These are absolute tack drivers paired with my Gamo .177 Varmint. They are also super effective when used for pest control as the grey squirrel population in my area can attest to. When you have a particularly problematic squirrel digging up your yard or chewing on your polywood chair or all the other fun mischief they get into, this pellet takes care of business. Can’t speak to how well it shoots another gun. But when it comes to fairly entry-level break action pellet rifles, it’s usually best to stick with the same manufacturer for the ammo. That way you’re pretty much guaranteed it’s going to be well fitted.

My Ruger Blackhawk loves these. I sighted in my rifle using these and was grouping them at about 1.5" from 30 yards out. I'm a novice with an air rifle, so for me, these results were great. I've taken down three squirrels so far using this ammo and all were killed instantly. I ordered quite a few other types of ammo so we'll see how this holds up against the competition. I personally felt it would be of value to leave a five star review for these as it seems the other reviews say it's either great or awful. I ordered another tin of 150, so we'll see if they were manufactured as well as my first tin. I will update my review when it comes in after doing some testing. Update 3/24: The next tin had a few "broken" pellets, where the red center was detached. However, it didn't bother me because my accuracy remained consistent. In fact, I purchased a new air rifle, the Gamo Whisper CFR, and I used these pellets to sight it in. I will attach a picture of the target. From approx 60 ft, I had 1.5" groupings after making a single adjustment to the scope. I just placed an order for five more tins. These out-performed quite a few other name brand pellets including Crosman, PSB, Umarex and others from Gamo. I hear Beeman pellets are good as well but I have no need to go there just yet as these have not yet disappointed. Yea another Update 3/27: Received the five new tins yesterday and they were all manufactured poorly. All five of the tins contained pellets with thick seams. This was nothing like the smooth surfaced ones I received on my first two tins. Amazon is great and I received the five replacements already today. One of the five tins seemed to have pellets with minor seams while the other four seemed to have smoother pellets like the first two. I can see this causing accuracy issues and possibly even doing some damage to the barrel. Because of this I felt it was fair to take a star away. I feel like I may have found the root cause for some of the other poor reviews on here.

I use them to keep squirrels out of my garden and seldom have to take a second shot.

The point makes a big difference great shot

These help sighting in thermals because they bury into wood and make a red hot spot on the thermal scope...found out unintentionally...fyi.

Product was as advertised!

I really like these pellets. They are very consistent!

Great round for handguns and rifles

They fit, fire and seem like decent quality

It’s fast out of a standard velocity pellet gun. Seems accurate enough.

These pellets are deadly. Great penetration.
