I was able to try the Benjamin 10.5 match grade .177 pellets in my TX200 MKIII today. It is a limited test given the weather. I was shooting 50-feet indoors. Using A-17 targets I shot 3 cards. I shot straight from the tin. The scores were 98, 98 and 99. This is comparable to scores from weight sorted and lubed AA 10.3 grain 4.52's. A semi- serious 5 shot group was 0.28", so less than a dime at this range. I anticipate more serious attempts could cut that substantially.
Upon inspection the pellets were clean and looked perfectly formed. There were no deformed or damaged pellets noticeable. They were snug fitting, loading like H&N, in my TX200. A day of shooting would make my thumb sore I am sure. They were similar in cost to AA Field Heavy pellets.
It is worth a look at 50-yards to me.
