I haven't seen such pellets from the major manufacturers, but the Hungarian company Skenco produces several .22 cal pellets in that general style. As for grain weights etc., you'll need to check for yourself.

Surprised that you like any Gamo Pellets.
They are notorious for being lousy.

There have been post about gluing a .177 bb into a hollow point pellet and getting insane penetration on metal objects.

I just use pure lead to go through steel drums with no problem. The 340 gr. .45 Texan will blow right through

Having used Gamo pellets extensively when I didn't know any better, and to this day for breaking in, the fact is that in every Gamo tin I've opened there have been massive differences in chamber fit between pellets, obvious casting irregularities in pellets, a number of completely malformed pellets, sometimes single pellets that are of a different model / caliber than what they should be, plus plenty of swarf.
For a company that started as a lead casting business some 60 years ago, they sure haven't learned a thing, or more likely, just don't care.
If one had to depend on a pellet gun to get meat, and only had Gamo pellets available, protein starvation would soon set in.

Lol I do admit to finding a few deformed pellets here n there especially with the "rockets".. if they aren't deformed I have no problems with them I find the red fires to be pretty good and accurate .. nothing beats good old cheap Crossman hollow points ... the price for H&N And other top brands is way to much $ for back yard plinking in my opinion..... the .177 gamo lethal are just what it says LETHAL .
