The Match pellets also performed well.  Punching paper, the Master Point and Magnum did not seem to perform as well.  They were not bad, but they were not as close to center as the Hunter and Match pellets.<\/p>\n<p>I have not written too much about my R7, but after trying about 10 different types of pellets, I do not think it is pellet sensitive.  Some pellets do shoot better, case in point he Gamo Hunter and Gamo Match pellets, but for the most part, the R7 seems very easy to please.<\/p>\n<p>At less than a penny a pellet, this sampler is a great value.  I will probably pick up some more because the price is better than online, and it would run me about $7.50 at Pyramyd Air for a tin of the Hunter and Match pellets.<\/p>\n<div class=\"addtoany_share_save_container addtoany_content_bottom\"><div class=\"a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_ addtoany_list a2a_target\" id=\"wpa2a_1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share\" onclick=\"__gaTracker('send', 'event', 'outbound-article', 'https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share', '');\" class=\"a2a_dd addtoany_share_save\"><img src=\"http:\/\/www.calvertgames.com\/cgblog\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-any\/share_save_171_16.png\" width=\"171\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Share\"\/><\/a>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\nif(wpa2a)wpa2a.script_load();\n\/\/--><\/script>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday at Dick\u2019s Sporting Goods I picked up a sampler pack of Gamo pellets for $8.99.
