Great video, enjoyed that comparison. My favorite Sabot pellets are the orange "fast flights" with the little zinc bullet inside. Man, those things will punch a hole straight through a steel frying pan at ten yards. And go straight though wooden fence pickets easily. I can imagine these pellets could be quite dangerous. I also use a Daisy 880 for these pellets. The accuracy is acceptable out to 20 yards.
Great video, but I tought the Daisy 880 is stronger than my Crosman 2100 Classic. 🤔 I got these results with the same pellets: Blue pellet: 766,4 Fps Golden pellet: 672 Fps G-Lethal: 735,2 Fps Fast Flights: 806,2 Fps
Nice video. 👍 I didn't even know these were an option to be honest. I Really would of liked to see an accuracy testing of these though. And, by the hard target test, I really think they should rename those The Gamo " Less- Lethal ". 😅 I might have to read up on these type of pellets and probably try the orange out n see. Thanks + Have a good one. 👍
The Lethals actually went in pretty deep. I pulled the sabot out of the wood and later found out that the core had left the sabot behind and actually penetrated more than halfway through.
On the Gamo lethal vs the board it sounded a bit like you might have had blow by in the barrel. Maybe the skirt might have had a defect and didn't get full velocity.
Great video! Where did you get those Skenco pellets! Been looking for those for many months and they are unavailable. The Lethal's do punch through metal of all sorts! The YT channel "Ballistic gunner" has done extensive testing!
I don't know what he would think, but I've been using Daisy 880's for squirrel hunting for over 35 years. Currently, my opinion is that Sig Venom 7.87 grain round nose pellets are the best for accuracy and knock down at longer ranges. Should be no problem taking down woodchucks at 30 yards, and ten pumps. The 880's maximum hunting range is about 30 to 35 yards. Always use ten pumps when hunting. When the 880 received a rifled barrel, around 1980 or so, it went from a powerful BB gun mostly used for shooting cans and bottles, to a truly useful small game hunting rifle, due to the incredible accuracy gained from the rifled barrel.
I don’t think there’s a “one size fits all” approach for that because there’s many factors that determine the best pellet for your needs (birds or rodents? Headshots or vitals? Etc.)
@@casualairgunner7417 I was thinking something like starlings (headshots) and under 25 yards. Should I be worried about passthroughs if I use something like a sabot?
Technically none of these pellets are a sabot round. Pellet arrives at the target still sheathed in the plastic body. To call them, "Sabot" is just a gimmick. "Jacketed round," is more of an accurate description. Try some quality pellets in the 1377, H and N or Kaiser for instance, and compare the so called sabot rounds for accuracy. You will find out why here in the UK the Prometheus type pellet is not popular.
@@stephengamble9388 They are not intended for hunting. They are straight up to 10 or 15 yards. They penetrant bone like you won't believe, though. A close up shot on a pig, and it's dead. It will go right through a skull. They are metal penetrators.
I like the Blue Arrows. And depending on what they hit, I have even been able to reuse some of them at least once.

Nice detailed video on pellets! I learned a lot! Thank You!

Since I only shoot at metal and paper targets, I only use the cheaper lead and alloy pellets. Great video.
Nice video. 👍

I love the golden great video
I will still use the lethal they've never let me down out to 70 yards

Thanks for the test.
The blue arrows perform well 💯
Which is the most accurate out of the 880?
On the Gamo lethal vs the board it sounded a bit like you might have had blow by in the barrel. Maybe the skirt might have had a defect and didn't get full velocity.
Great video
thanks there is a wood chuck in my back yard and i want to make Shure i will get him first try
Great video thank you

Will check that out! I actually had these Skenco pellets from 2019 before the 2020 ammo shortage. It might be difficult to get them right now.
The Golden ones are good for hunting small game
hey what pellet do you think would be the best for woodchucks (using the 880)

If you could choose one pellet to use out of the 880 for a "hunt!ng" or pest control application, what would it be?

@@lukepro_1566 idk if there's a pellet that WOULDNT pass thru a small bird head lol.
I never buy daisy pellets because I'm not sure what size they are when labeled 3/8 etc. Do you know what that translates to, 177 22?
I think you were looking at slingshot ammo. 3/8 is between 9-10mm.
@@casualairgunner7417 the tin can had a picture of a pointed pellet on it, so who knows
The hyper bullets are the best shot a raccoon ij the head it died instantly
Best pellet for sr 900
What did you pay for the chronograph?
About $45 including tax and shipping
Air rifle daisy power line 880 hunting smoll game 🎯🎯🎮
You dont have enough power to drive the gamo lethal. It goes thru a stop sign better than the red flights if you have breakbarrel power....
Yeah I figured that was the issue. I’ve heard the Gamo Lethals do really well at 900+ FPS and the Daisy 880 just doesn’t have that power.
A Schofield #3 will accept all of them with room to spare.
I still say you can use these type of rifles for a few quick shots on a human for last resort home defense.
"Quick" shots with 10 pumps? You'd be better off with a Wrist Rocket.
@@wdtaut5650
Never tried running a wrist rocket over the chronograph. Not sure if it will projectile a object over 900 fps.

He was not testing accuracy. He was testing penetration.
@@OneAffected Point taken. But there is no point in being able to penetrate a target, especially a live one if you can not hit it.

I have resently purchased an 880 looking for most Accurate Pellet for hunting small game. Head shots.
An were can order them that's not Amazon.
