If you look at the price history of that item on 3 camels, 9.99 is not a great price. Its the average selling price, if you see it dip to the 6 dollar range, thats the buy time.

Lol.... Fishing pellets....   Maybe shoot fish in a barrel?

I voted and grabbed 5 tins once cause that was all there was on the shelf at the time and anything over 10 yards forget about it.  All over the place for me.

Then if your gun shoots them fine then good for you I guess.

Funny xmans hp's. 500 count are like 6.50$  at my stores but these fishing pellets are  at about 10$ for 400 ?  And not even close on target as the hp's.... Go figure

May as well shoot a typical dome pellet BACKWARDS ... likely be more accurate and expand better that these Piranha fishing sinkers.

Funny this is the pirahna pellets I just bought 4 tins of from walmart.... they are all going back they shoot horrible out of the DAR .22 JUNK ! just tested 1 hour ago ! garbage !

 on the other hand premier hollow point cheap walmart ammo shoots fantastic hole threw hole possible at 50 yards with my DAR .22 best I have ever seen a pcp shoot this ammo before ...

When I got into this sport I bought a tin of Crosman .177 Piranhas now 15 rifles later I still have over 200 left. I've tried to find something that will shoot them accurately...nope still looking.

Before spending your hard earned $$ do a search here and read the pellet reviews.  I don't recall the Piranha's ever getting a good review.  There is a ton of information on the forum.  You should take advantage of that.

I risked trying them and found I was out $40 .

I guess if you ran a carnival arcade shooting game and did not want any winners there a good pellet to use.🤔

i'm the oddball.  i bought these from ww because they were less than $6 a tin and i was only going to shoot cans at 30 yards.  turned out, they were the most accurate pellet out of my NP2!  my other .22s?  forgetaboutit! 


to me, they are one of the most gimmicky pellets out there.

Wow!...  6 bucks a tin and your gun shoots them great?   That's a deal.

They been 9.50$ a tin here for as long as I remember and nothing I got does well with them ,BUT. The  crosman 500 count tins of there hollow points are like 6.50$  and I do get great results from them

I never could figure out why the fishing pellets at 400 count cost twice what the 500 count H.P' s do?

I thought this was an interesting review from the OP's link: the reviewer posted a pic too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great pellet for killing Squirrels
Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2018
Verified Purchase
I bought these used from Amazon, paid a great price, I was hoping for a great pellet that would kill. I am shooting a Benjamin 392 pumper, this pellet shoots the same as any other Crosman pellets, no drops or anything strange. I shot a pop can at 50 yards, hit exactly where I was aiming, and the pellet split in 2, 1 went out the can and disappeared and this half was stuck in the side of the can half way out, look at the picture it is half a pellet from the can. I shot a tree rat yesterday and it did the same 1 hole in and 2 holes out. Dropped him in his tracks. I am going to keep a look out for more of these on the used section from Amazon. So far my favorite pellet.

A fragmenting pellet? Hmm...isn't that interesting?
