Gamo Red Fire .22 Cal, 15.4 Grains, Polymer Tip, 125ct

They shoot well out of my Benjamin Sheridan 392. They group well, and they hit pretty hard. English Sparrows "POP" and explode making it rain pieces of meat and body parts when you push these pellets to 900 FPS. But like most specialty pellets, you don’t get that many for the money you spend, but these are still the most affordable on the market in this style. These group 3/4”@ 50 yards, that’s not the best the gun will group but, most of my pest control is done at that distance and less so, no complaints here. When they get hit, it’s lights out real quick. Very humane and effective. Now if they would only offer them in a 500 pack.😎 One other thing that I noticed about these pellets is the similarity to Daisy Hollow Points. Daisy HPs have the exact same profile inside their hollow opening as the polymer tip does which makes me believe that they may be the base pellet for the Red Fire. The weight is the same without the tip and expansion may even be more extreme than the Red Tip, but they slow down much faster than the Red Fire does due to a lower BC without the tip installed. I do know Daisy and Gamo are under the same roof in Spain and both are made there so the chances are good they are one and the same. Sight in is the same however the Red Fire does have a higher BC than the Daisy HPs do and because of that make the Daisys a 50-yard pellet and the Red Fire a 75-100 yard pellet. I love both and they perform excellently at speeds up to 900 FPS. Unlike Crossman Premier Pellets that are ok but don't expand even when pushed to speeds over 1000 FPS unless shot at something hard, these expand readily and violently on soft tissue which makes them very humane to use and you end up with less game running off wounded or suffering. Like the Red Fire, the Daisy HPs are much less in cost, except with the Daisy's you get a lot more making them my go-to pellet now. They will hold a 1" or less group out to 50 Yards...there are much more accurate pellets out there no doubt but for the money, they are hard to beat for a multipurpose affordable pellet that has the same POI as the Red Fire. Nice to not have to mess with a sighted in scope when changing back and forth between your favorite pellets. I think these Red Fire perform the same as the more expensive Predator Polymags and have about the same accuracy. I really think these two pellets from Gamo and Daisy are the best for my needs and for my guns' best performance. You just can't go wrong with them. Adjust your speed to 900 FPS or less and you should have a smile on your face too.

I had only heard recently of folks using air guns for hunting. Since I only like small game since I am not a fan of field dressing deer and also see deer too close to pet like or even human like, but birds and fish are more distant relatives and seem fit for food.I did not even invest in one of the high-pressure PCP guns to give this a try hunting.With a great deal of patience, I found I could even hunt dove with an old-school pump action single shot. It takes a great deal of accuracy, and I only try if I am really close. This brings the sport into small game hunting. I read in field and stream that a dove's feathers can act to deflect a pellt. I tried still. I found at close range with a 22 pellet even 20 foot-pounds of energy will do the job with a well placed shot. It is very tricky. In general, I do not recommend it, but it was impressive to see that it is indeed possible. As I said, only with the infromation age this far into maturity have I ever heard of anyone hunting with air rifles, and when I first looked into the topic, most everyone was suggesting it takes a good marksman and a PCP. I did, however, find some with photos and videos, hunting small game such as squirrel (yuck) and dove (very tricky) with old-school pump air rifles.Now, that being said, it did take this ammo. I was not successful with any other ammo. This penetrates nicely, cleanly and is very stable. Without the stability of this pellet, I'd not have the accuracy to ever hit a dove even at close range. Even though I remember as a child (many moons ago. I am 50 years of age), my redneck cousins killing robins with pump-action pellet guns just out of meanness, I'd not ever heard serious discussion of hunting with air guns until recently, and key to my cousins' success was the abundance of robins and the good chance of getting a really close shot. I see the PCP guns can supposedly even be used for deer hunting. These air guns definitely bring the sport into hunting. Though I am a "Southern boy," I have always taken Ron White's view of hunting. Since most folks likely will not know what that means, Ron White is a Texas redneck similar to me as I am a southern redneck (lol). He, nonetheless, makes fun of his many redneck friends who take pride in taking down humongous bucks with thirty ought six Springfield after spending the previous weekend siting their scope to sub minute of angle accuracy... though Ron tells it in a way as only a good comedian can. The short of it being, Ron, as do I, consider it silly that many of our redneck friends (ourselves rednecks admittedly) find it impressive to take out a large buck with highly powerful and highly accurate firepower. He goes on to joke that "so what I took out a 12-point with my 76 Chevy van going 50 mph." Now I hope I and Ron do not offend too many folks, but for those who hunt smaller game will appreciate the challenge of hunting rabbit or dove with an air rifle. It is a real challenge. These pellets make the accuracy to do so possible, even at low energy. I find it easier with the lower energy 22 than the higher energy 17.Oh! One thing I'd like to add in the event someone, who as with me until recently, is not very familiar with hunting with air rifles: I had always felt I am such an awful shot that I'd not stand a chance with a air gun. Since my single-shot, pump-action air pellet rifle has ZERO recoil, my accuracy really surprised me. It wasn't near as difficult as I expected. At much range, I still am not good at estimating drop, and I think even if I were the energy would be too low even with teh best air pellet, unless using a PCP.

They are nice pellets, now when my pellet rife shows up can have lot's of fun

Having searched and searched online and finding no definitive answer, mixed reviews and mystery I am hoping to clear things up!I own a Gamo Swarm Hornet break barrel .22 with a 10x magazine, as pictured. To clarify.. THESE .22 RED FIRE PELLETS FIT THE MAGAZINE!They fit the Gen1 magazine just fine, they feed just fine and they fire with the accuracy advertised! As long as you load the magazine correctly (check YouTube for common issues and their resolutions) then you will have no issues!Hopefully this helps others who encountered the same mystery in getting definitive answers. 10/10 would buy again!

They work great in my .22 Beeman QB-78 and I recently found out it likes these over other pellets so I'm happy with them. I love the ballistic tip style, they definitely do more than enough damage on small game.Not much else to say other than Gamo hit the nail on the head with this one, well done ✅👍

Packaging: Shipped in Amazon box. The product was packed tightly in a green/brown GAMO branded tin.Product Impressions: Very accurate with the right rifle 25-50 yards. Pellets flatten well on harder surfaces but shatter at some angles. It was pretty pricey as I could buy 500 pellets for the same price but at the cost of accuracy. Be sure to wash your hands after usage because of the lead.Usability: Great for recreational use, smaller game hunting, or sport/target shooting.Overall Thoughts: Great price, works well, easy to use.

Good price. Accurate shooter. Hit hard.

These pack a punch. Seem to be consistent out of the rifle and when they hit target the do damage.
