How many clips ship with the 617X pistol and what type of pellet is best (ie: pointed, 7.9 gram, etc.) ?

one-didn't have luck with any pellets and I have 1/2 doz. types, no matter which I tried 1or 2 pellets would be way off target per clip. I had ordered the extra clips I am now stuck with, I sent this pistol back and will never purchase another Daisy product again. I have crosman,ruger, mauser, and browning air guns that work very well.

1 clip comes with the 617X, I ordered three extra's, but it seems like I usually just use and reload the same clip.

my favorite pellet is the Crossman Destroyer pellet, but there are two different qualities. the more expensive one is better, less jams but both are better than most other pellets I tried in the pistol. Next are the Crossman hollow points.

I found that the standard Crossman .177 pointed premium pellets works fine for me. Like most air rifles you have a break in period to get the shots to be steady and accurate. Once broken in it hits what you aim at to your zero. Shoot what you prefer, but use that type and brand of pellet to keep your shots true.

I have been getting good results with the good ole basic Crossman superdomes at 14.3 Grains. They seem to shoot just fine out to 50 yards and I am not going to shoot much farther than that at a moving target. Every once in a while I get a flyer, but eh cost versus the number of shots I get more than offset the issue. I also feed these pellets to my PCP Webley Raider, and my Nitro Venom and they are a good all round pellet for what I am doing. Wheelchair Bob

WWW.pyramydair.com , $6.95 like I said before . I use A 22 long rifle round nose bullet , to load my mags it will round out , out of shape contails and snap them into place ! I use Superdome pellets made by Dynamit Nobel , Germany . I am shooting 1" group or less at 25yrds ! I also suggest you get the pyramdair catalogs , as they have good articles & airgun care !

I used Gamo Hunter pellets (cal-0.177). These are the leaded ones. Others may be ok also.

Most crossman 177 pellets are 7.9 grains... I Assume the same for these. Crossman .22 pellets all weigh 14.3 grains as far as i know... We shpuld all write crossman and tell them to put theinfo back on the can...lol

I would stay away from steel, brass, copper, tipped pellets, my son shot clear though a full 55 gallon drum of kerosene that was a good thick drum with a 1200 fps .177 pellet rifle using a penetrator pellet. I was upset and had to scramble to find other containers to put it in since it was flowing out both sides.

I've gotten about 7 to 9 clips out my ex-owned Umarex SA.177 C02 gun. Those clips held about 16 shots. Remember that colder weather cause the C02 to compress which means less pressure for the shooting. On a warm day it allows the C02 to want to expand which increases pressure when shooting for a more thorough and faster shot. Just don't exceed labeled warnings on C02 box for max℉ or they will explode.

Amazon offers .22 cal 14.3 gr Crosman Premier pellets in 500 ct tin for $12.21, or 625 ct carton for $25.99. It's more cost effective to buy two of the 500 ct tins. I like these heavier pellets. They are more stable in flight and more accurate with great stopping power. Also flies at subsonic speed to reduce muzzle crack if noise is an issue

Hi David, I have tried all kinds (7 different types) of pellets from pointed tip, round, flat, all types with no consistency. All these pellets ranged from 7.8 grains to 14 grains. I cannot find a pellet that shoots well past 15 yards. Anything past 15 yards is unpredictable with groups no better than 12 inches. I gave up trying. Ive been shooting guns for over 30 years and this was just frustrating to say the least. Ive even tried 3 different scopes on the gun and still no luck. So Im pretty sure it wasnt me. Id look into buying another gun. Maybe this gun I received was just defective or something. Good luck.

I use four for close range, max is eight. Three is great for indoor shooting. Different pellet weight make a differance also. All trial and error.

The clip that comes stock with the Stryfe comfortably holds 6 darts.If 6 darts isn't enough, you can use higher capacity clips from other nerf n-strike elite guns as well. They all seem to be interchangeable so there's that option too.

My Nitro is a .22 cal, and for most standard uses I personally choose the Gammo Masterpoint 16.2 gr 250 count pellets, although I have found them a bit hard to find except online. If you need a little more velocity or distance most any of the ammo on the market designed to be lightweight and with the longer overall body length should do fine. As with any rifle/ammo combination, each person must see what works best for them.

Just one. having more than one clip for this gun must be nice. The one extension works perfect.

Ms. Fehr-I may have been wrong. I just looked up the C-15 Gamo Bone Collector pistol and it says that "indeed" it takes the 16 round magazine.I looked on pyramidair.com. Try that site and see if the attendant pops up and asks to help you.Sorry if I misled you.. Good luck..

I have tested over a dozen pellets in this gun. None were as heavy as 9 gr. The 8.4 and 8.6 gr pellets were the two best performing pellets I tested, also the heaviest. 9 gr. should perform well, but make sure they fit in the magazine. If they are too long the magazine will not feed. Great pistol.
