BSA Interceptor .177 4.5mm 500 Hollow Point Pellets Airgun Air Rifle Hunting 177 Pest Vermin

good

Good value, can’t fault

Good pellets that are accurate and actually do some damage. I use them for some backyard shooting practice with the children. But they might be a bit too good for that. Luckily my air gun is no longer that powerful otherwise these pellets would have some considerable impact. My arsenal of weapons consists of one single air gun. It’s lost some air pressure and misses a few bolts. But its a much beloved piece of weaponry that I’ve had for over 30 years. It used drive my pacifist ex-hippy parents crazy when I took it put for ‘hunting’ with my equally well-armed neighbourhood friends in the early 80’s on the continent. Times have changed and my children of course aren’t allowed to do that. I’m such a hypocrite! Either way, for the moment they are quite scared of my gun (yet they have little hesitation to wield and use more heavy artillery in the video games they are glued to). In an effort to change that and to disentangle them from their console for a few moments I planned to have a shooting contest in the backyard.. but I couldn’t find my pellets anywhere (probably deliberately removed from our household by the missus). Well, luckily there was Prime one-day delivery to help pops out. And in the end we did have quite an exciting shootout.

These work well with my under-lever springers but I’ve moved onto Barracuda 8’s which work a little better.

Great product amazing price

Great balance pellets on the mark consistency Exellent 👌

Expands to about a Centimetre when shot into a bucket of water as shown in the photos. Definitely worth the price and tho I’ve only used it for plinking in the backyard I’m sure they would be very effective against rodents and Over small animal’s. I’ve been using them at a range of about 10 meters and there not the most accurate from there so I wouldn’t recommend for long distance shooting. There packed well and I’m yet to find a single dud yet.

Some reviewers have dissed these pellets on the grounds of the alloy being very soft, so pellets easily become distorted. As in the UK, we are limited to sub 12 Ft Lbs. air rifles, the distortion / energy transfer feature of most designs of hollow pointers is relatively weak. To demonstrate how effective these pellets are, I fill a plastic 2 Litre. milk carton with water, and replace the cap. Round, pointed, flat and most types of hollow pointers all pass straight through, making a small hole each side. However, the soft "Interceptor" pellets deform and flatten, so that all the energy is transferred to the carton. It splits along the seams, and the water pours out. I have noticed it has a similar effect on squirrels!
