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

I have an air rifle that takes the .177 size. I live in the middle of an urban area on 8 acres and cannot use my shotgun or handgun to keep some of the wildlife in check. We have a new coyote on our property that is starting to feel emboldened. So I needed something effective. I tried one of these out on a predatory, sickly raccoon that I have been attempting to exterminate. Waited for 4 hours in the middle of the night laying on my porch in 96 degree weather for him to make himself known. And I dropped him with 1 shot through the head with one of these pointed pellets. I adore wildlife, but sometimes the circumstances call for control. Now - I am hoping to exterminate the coyote if/when I see him.And yes - this is all within the regulatory body under which I live and they are aware of my actions.If I had one miniscule complaint it would be the top of the packaging of this item (the clear top) is not actually a clear fixed top. It is a piece of circular clear plastic inserted into the round metal rim of the top. When I take the top off to retrieve a pellet, the clear insert almost always falls out - thereby potentially spilling all of the pellets. I have since glued the circular plastic clear piece to the metal rim of the top to prevent same from occurring again. Despite this temporary annoyance - I still highly recommend this product and stand by the 5 star review.UPDATE 10/8/2024: Don’t know if the company read my review, but received 2 pellet packages today and both had the clear plastic insert already glued to the metal rim. Now the product and the product container is perfection for my use.

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

These work very well in my single shot break barrel rifles but they dont seem to work well in some guns with magazines since they're odd sized they dont fit well. But in the single load break barrel these shoot dead on every shot and shoot very fast the issue is they break the sound barrier in my guns and it causes a loud crack like a real gun and it alarms the neighbors. The crack combined with the speed at which it hits the back stop is LOUD they are many times louder than my normal lead pellets. But the accuracy is amazing and the penetration is impressive, will buy again.

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.

They are fast and aggressive pellets. I haven't been able to clock one on a chronograph, but I have been able to shoot through steel 55-gallon drums using these pellets. This pellet design is ideal for pest control since it contains no lead and only the plastic, orange part will be left behind after the shot. So, if you shoot some rats or other pests, then put those outside for birds to eat, the birds should be able to easily deal with the orange part. Birds eat by peeling and tearing prey, so the orange part should fall out as they eat, avoiding any problem of contaminating the bird.UPDATE: I have taken out a few pest animals with these. I can now confirm from firsthand experience that they are humane & accurate pellets.
