tdsmith Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 Hey i was looking at some pellets for my air rifle i already use RWS superdome but found these Norica Killer Pellets, it says they are used for high impact trauma. Just wondering if its worth the £4.50 for 500 of them. I shoot a BSA Tactical .177 and they come in my calibre so just seeing if any of you guys use or swear by them Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKPoacher Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 I was given a few to try out. This is what normal pellets do to Cox Pippins through my .177 HW100S. RWS Hobby on the left, H&N FTT on the right. This is a Norica Killer through the same gun.. I haven't done any group testing yet, but will be investing in a tin to try out more thoroughly as they might make decent short range ratting pellets.

tdsmith Posted November 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 (edited) JESUS I think this is the best possible response i could of got thank you so much Just to check this won't make a difference if i zero with RWS and shoot with Norica for groupings will it?

UKPoacher Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 Let us know how you get on. As I said, I haven't managed to do a grouping test other than a few at around 12 yards with my Crosman 1077 'Ratbusta'. It will be interesting to see how they perform at longer distances.

UKPoacher Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 I got round to ordering a tin of these and they arrived today. I put five through the HW100S at a 5 litre thinners can at 25 metres. They all grouped around 1" diametre, maybe a little more, and about 1.5" to the right of the aim point. I then put three JSB Exacts through the same hole exactly on the crosshairs. I reckoned that the Noricas must be a lot more susceptible to the cross wind so I repeated the test downwind. This time they all grouped around the aim point. They don't group as tight as the JSBs, three would be touching and the other two a little way off whereas the JSBs form one raggy hole. They are accurate enough for rats & squirrels, but I wouldn't trust them for a head shot on a woodie beyond 20 yds. The other thing I noticed is that they did not penetrate the can. The JSBs went through one side and Crosman Ultra Heavies went through both sides. All in all, I reckon they are perfect for indoor ratting or barn shooting feral pigeons at <20 yds as they won't cause damage to roofs and walls.

Good unbiased review there mate, cheers for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zapp Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 Impressive damage, but how could you do that to a Cox's Pippin? You should have eaten the Pippins and shot something rank like a Golden "Delicious". ZB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I have it covered Cox's Pippins grow wild round here so we gather loads every autumn, meaning that I don't have to buy apples (see my location - Yorkshire). Not tight, just 'careful'.

killer rabbit (r1000) Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 i've been using these with my co2 pistols - they seem to be about the best available for going through the mags properly without jamming on reload, also fairly impressive at 15-20 yards (for a co2 pistol at <6ft lbs) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevethevanman Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 I think these obviously have a trauma advantage over domed pellets , but as a airgun is only relaly a 40yd weapon I would prefer round nose and just head shot with tight grouping diablo field Becuase of that airgun pellet expansion you might loose some penetration But definately impressive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egg Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 Any pics of one of these? Are they a wadcutter type? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
