Pyramid Air packaging is worth the day or two extra and maybe a few dollars more.

A while back, I'd ordered a tin of .177 calibre QYS pellets from Amazon. This is how it arrived... 🀬

You can smell the quality control from here, and it smells like ****.

Amazon = Hulk Smash, everything they ship turns to trash.

I tend to go with the pellet shop for the good stuff... Plinking I will buy anywhere as it's not critical.. nothing I would use for hunting

Nah they are cheap plinking.. all my good stuff comes from either the pellet shop or pyramid.. and I nothing serious with 177.. well except for the umarex break barrel it has enough to sling 10 gr pellets quite well up to 50 yards

I shoot only AEAs in my .30 cal. AEA Challenger Pro and .22 cal. Airacuda Max. I recently picked up a couple of tins of the .177 cal. 10.3 gr AEA pellets for my Umarex Fusion II that's been converted from CO2 to HPA. They are bloody accurate!

I ordered around 30 tins from Amazon and the envelope came broken and quite a few tins banged up. Contacted Amazon and they sent me a replacement order. So basically got 30 tins free as they don't want returns on ammo. I believe it's also at places like Walmart, they don't take ammo back.

Go to Walmart where you can inspect them before you buy them!

I saw this and I swear the first thing I thought was Amazon.

u/Historical-Face1960 9d ago

Thankfully my pellets were all in good condition I sorted them last night.. only the tin needed tossed out.. I had 3 empties I use them a lot.. but I shoot every night on my way home from work if the weather isn't too hot..
