These .22 Cal is devastating on small vermmins. The penetration is excellent & expansion make the pellet very lethal.
Pros
Like a hollow point it opens up to bone breaking after penetration!
Cons
That drop of oil to increase velocity?
Pellets from the same tin, all different sizes, some fall into the barrell
some wont go in at all, tried two different guns same results. Completely
innacurate.
Pros
None
Cons
Everything about these pellets.
Very Good Hunting Pellet
Did a side by side comparison between these and a premium pellet in a Hatsan Flash. The premium pellet was dead on, the "piranha" pellets flew by as much as an inch wide in all directions at 25 yards, and seemed to jam up the magazine as well. I can't use anything this inconsistent.
Pros
Cheap
Cons
You get what you pay for.
Bought a tin of these from Walmart actually, same time I bought my Ruger. Gotta say, not the best and not the worst. Half the time they're impacting point of aim, other times they are hit 1"-4" in any direction from point of aim. Not sure if it's just my scope that's junk or if it's me. I don't think it's me since I've used them to put seven shots in a half inch group on bullseye at 20 yards. Some fit snug in the bore and some fit a little loosely. I recommend using a micrometer to check each one and remove any that are not the exact size of the bore. Definitely needs more quality control in manufacturing.
Pros
Great penetration and impact.
Cons
Fairly inaccurate from my experience and does not expand very well unless shooting steel targets. In fact, they have very little expansion even when impacting my 2x6 pine board backstop.
New to the pellet gun world. I can say first pellet in my rifle produce direct hit of the target. Really excited. Thanks airgun depot!!!
I have been shooting these pellets in a 22 cal Benjamin Trail 1100 XL Magnum Rifle. These pellets will hold a nickel sized group at 30 yds. and a 1 1/4 in. sized group out to 65 yds, in my gun. Hard hitting, deep penetration with medium expansion. Very Good on larger sized varmints.
Pros
Hard Hitting-Deep Penetration-Medium Expansion-Reasonably Priced-Accurate
Cons
None
these were the rite pellets for this gun .
Pros
hit hard ,penitrate deep , sem to shoot tight group with the gamo mag.
Cons
none found
The .22 cal Premier Piranha are the same weight as the Premier Ultra Mags, the Premier Hollow Point and the Crossman pointed pellet. All hit with nearly the same dime sized spread at 30 yrds. No scope adjustments needed between pellets. These are a great match to the Gamo Urban PCP
Price for a 400 count tin was only $9.99!

Some pellets are hard to load into the Gen 2 magazine. Found the pellet pen comes in handy seating them into the mag properly
Pros
Pretty accurate out of my Swarm Fusion. Still breaking the gun in so I’ll know more in a couple hundred shots but so far not bad.
Cons
Without a doubt the dirtiest pellet I’ve used. Prepare to clean after 50 shots. Probably worse than my .22 rimfire.
