This looks like a good deal to me... $13.35 for tins of 500 .22 Daisy hollow point pellets. Not sure of the weight but another tread on here says #7785 Daisy pellets are 13.7grs.

15.8grns they are, I paid 8.31$ a tin back in March 2020. I bought 8 tins. They changed their molds, they are now like Crosman Premier HPs, not like what the tin shows.

Heads are too big, they don't fit in my HW45 without shaving alot of the skirt, and then they barely shoot 300 FPS from it.

Yah, I just found another post saying they are 15.7gr. Mixed reviews, Cabella's lists them at $9.99 but out of stock. Lots of stuff seems to be out of stock lately. Cheaper than the Grizzly pellets at Princessauto anyway, I actually like the Grizzly pellets for plinking and none critical shooting.

My WF600 in .22 likes H&N Sport wadcutters $6 per tin of 250 at Nikkonos on eBay. Unfortunately, they're out of stock at the moment. He replaces stock pretty regularly. Shipping is $8.50 for the first tin, then $0.50 per tin after. 10 tins cost $13.00 shipping,

I have not had good luck with any Daisy pellet I have tried, in .177 or .22.

I just stocked up during Covid. I don't do any critical shooting, just plinking in my garage.

But they required alot of force to seat in my HW 45. I basically just shoot them from my QB 88.

Since trying them in a variety of my guns, I find the 21.3gr. H&H Match RN pellets to be the most accurate
in most of my .22 cal rifles and pistols.
They run 408fps in the PP700SA.
That's 7.9FPE.
My HW97 in .22, also liked the 18.21gr. Barracuda Hunter HP - all the way to 65yards, hitting the little rim fire pig silhouette
at that range, shot after shot. The spots on the pig looked to be mostly the size of a bunny's (snowshoe) head kill zone.

I decided to order some, they are made in Spain and weight a little over 15grs. Nice and clean and very uniform looking with no obvious damage to any that I looked at. They are longer than the Crosman premier 14.3gr hollow points and they have a very pronounced hollow point, much more so than the Crosman pellets. Also the package is a silver can with blue and white labeling not the yellow circled can in the add.

Inflation at nearly 50%, I reviewed the Dais HP a year ago

I agree about the .22 Grizzly pellets. I bought 2 packages of 250 a couple of weeks ago at PA, when they are on sale for $5.99. Good for target practice & plinking in break barrels and other similar airguns. But find they may jam in rotary clips like for my Crosman 622 & Artemis CR600W. Due to their heavier weight, I have not tried them in my .22 CO2 pistols (Crosman 38T, 38C, & SA6).

Still searching for more Stoeger .22 flat head pellets at around 13 gr., & Crosman .22 wadcutters (14.3 gr.). I bought a bunch of the Stoegers while Cabela's was selling them, but haven't seem them since. Got a 500 blister pack of the Crosman .22 wadcutters with a used airgun purchase. Haven't been able to locate them again either.

I tried out the Daisy (Spanish made) .22 pellets today. I really like them! They are very clean, uniformly snug fit in the chamber (almost too snug), due to their length/shape I can feel which way they are pointing when I pick them up, and most importantly they seem to be accurate. If I can find some more at a reasonable price I will definitely buy more of them.

Stoeger pellets are made by H&N.

They are on sale again, I got a couple of tins last time and they seem to be really good pellets for the price.

Last week I bought a tin of the same Spanish made Daisy WC but in .177 calibre. This is one of the worst pellets I have tried.

- Head sizes are random from .175" to .179"
- Skirt sizes are random from .177" to .185"
- Many pellets have flashing on the back of the head (little fins)
- Pellets have a slippery lube
- Poor accuracy

The pellet design looks fine but I think they are using dies that are not close in sizes. With closer tolerances this could be a nice pellet. Maybe the .22cal version is better.

Agreed...they shot well enough out of the smooth bore 760 at low fps but were a disaster in my other rifles. I do not measure skirts but I could tell there was a different fit and feel of some pellets when inserting into the breech. ...I ended up bringing the remaining .177 tins back for a refund... :(
