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

“Good product, I recommend it.”

Excellent quality pellet. Good repeat accuracy, with very few "fliers". Worked well in my Gamo. Recommended.

Seeing other reviews saying the quality was poor after buying. I was dubious about my purchase. When they arrived I opened and checked them. At first inspection they looked fine. After washing and lubing them I still couldn't see bent skirts poor casting etc.. Overall these are a good quality pellet for the money, perfect for small vermin.

Wasn't expecting much but first impressions during ratting at about 15m is encouraging. Will obviously need to try at greater distance for a full review

Was worried after buying these that BSA quality and performance were a bit naff as was told from another air rifle user. This is the first time I have used a pellet gun against vermin as I didn't want to lay poison or traps that might lead to unnecessary suffering of the animal. I can report that not only will these hit your target but these pellets will ensure that they are put down for good. Had a rat problem due to previous owners having chickens, to the point that the rats would be in the garden in broad daylight (literally 9am) in a group and wouldn't even run away when I would sit in my garden talking with my partner. I will emphasise I HAD a rat problem as after taking down 3 of them silly enough to try their nonsense during the day that they haven't been seen for weeks. Since I haven't had any more rats to use these on I have used them for some plinking and target practice. They have enough impact to cause concrete blocks to chip away.

Will buy again

Excellent

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!
