CrosmanFast Flight LF1754 Lead-Free .177-Caliber Pointed Pellets (150-Count)

I run these thru a Sig rattler canebreak. Sometimes I use the 90gram carts and sometimes 25 gram with an adapter. Either one, so long as you are not on a cold, cold day penetrate like nothing I have seen before. I set up a target in the yard made up from 20 brand new home depot cardboard boxes taped along the sides tightly to a 2x2 piece of 3/4 ply. that is 40 layers of bran new cardboard boxing. Last night I decided to try a few of my more exotic pellets on it. I fire from a fixed position, 50 plus feet away. I threw everything at this target. I have an Umerex HDX68 that I removed ALL the governors from. That thing when firing aluminium .68 balls penetrate about 15-20 layers in depending on the cart I use which is a 25gram with adapters or a 90 gram. The hard nylon fly faster. These are no longer "less than lethal" I was surprised at the force I was getting. The previous night I nailed three rats in a jasmine vine from about 50 feet yet again with my sig loaded with Gammo Lethal's. All three rats dead and two of the slammed into the fence before they dropped... that shocked me. Then I decided to run a test with the pellets on my box trap target. I avoided the torn up areas and shot into virgin cardboard using the Gammo Lethals, Stoeger magnums, Crossman Gold Flights, Stoeger x-power maximum penetrator copper, and these nutty looking tiny and light crossman fast flights... everything penetrated past 20 layers, that's ten boxes. The crossman gold flights were hard to load into the belts but they went up to the last three or four boxes. The Gammo Lethals hit HARD and got almost as far as the Golds. The fast flights????!!!! They would leave the sabot behind and continue to travel... I found them completely through 40 layers of cardboard... that's twenty brand new boxes and embedded into the plywood. Just to further check them I fired them at a steel storage cabinet in my garage... 16 gauge steel, from about 25 feet... it easily penetrated the door and almost the back wall. I put one clean through my redwood fence. my ultimate challenge was a polyethylene cutting board... ehhhh... don't try that. Nothing penetrated and they all ricochet back straight at me. I'm not sure I could penetrate that one with a .380 let alone a .177 CO2 pellet. I've yet to put it though my break barrel which will get up to 1200 FPS. The Sig maxes out at 700 FPS. Can you imagine dieseling one of those through the break barrel?!?! That would be wicked hard. I am buyijg more and thats what I will use for the rats. They are alloy so they don't deform and mushroom but the force they impart is going to knock those roof rats right off the fence.

Badass, not soft lead

Oh man when I bought these I looked at a review on YouTube man I was like I got to get these so after testing these myself the fast flights don't play no games I penetrated chicken I penetrated turkey and I penetrated squirrels and rabbits with this I mean penetration all the way through these are the only ones that I've used out of all my 177 pellets that penetrated from front to back so if we're saying what's the best pellets I would say these fast flights are top of the line the best out of all the pellets in the market cuz it penetrate all the way through now I've heard of some exploding pellets I haven't tried them out yet but I will and will give a review but so far from what I have tested the fast flight pellets are the best on speed and penetration of the pellets do penetrate but they don't penetrate like this one these pellets do not play but there is a little issue if you use these in the Gamo swarm they might not fit in the 10x magazine so my suggestion is use these in a Gamo single shot not a multiple shot air rifle use these only in single shot air rifles or pump action air rifles then you'll be fine

I bought these sabot Crosman Fast Flight LF1754 Lead-Free .177-Caliber Pointed Pellets because of their advertised penetrating power. I just performed a test of penetration and accuracy and here are my results.I'm using a Gamo Swarm Whisper .177 caliber 10-shot break barrel air rifle. I'm comparing these pellets to Gamo's Competition pellets. Competition pellets aren't that great for penetration, but they are for accuracy.The Crosman sabot pellets fit snugly in the Swarm's 10-shot magazines. I was shooting 1" bullseyes in my basement at about 40 feet. The backstop was two pieces of 3/8" plywood screwed together.The first thing I noticed is the sighting is quite different between these two pellets. I had the rifle sighted for the lead pellets and the sabot pellets sighted low by 1" and left by 2.5". The sabot pellets performed and grouped as well as the lead pellets once the rifle was sighted for them.The Crosman projectile didn't deform at all through plywood and they easily made it halfway into the second layer of 3/8" plywood.I'm happy with the results and estimate that this round should be lethal for criters up to raccoons and opossums.I took off one star due to sighting issues. Most Gamo lead pellets (what I use) perform consistently from type to type in my rifle. I rarely have to change the scope's setting. Now it's not possible to switch magazines of different pellets, lead to sabot, without either a physical scope adjustment or mental gymnastics remembering the off-center sight picture for lead pellets.All-in-all, I recommend these sabots if you want more penetration.

informal tests against sheet metal prove these hit much harder than BBs or pointed pellets. BBs barely penetrate, no lead pellets do. This round bolted straight through the first sheet and would have penetrated the second if it hadn't tumbled. I am impressed.
