.177 QYS FT STREAMLINED HEAVY Airgun Pellets are made by Qiang Yuan SportsGoods. QYS is a powerhouse air rifle and air pistol pellet manufacturer that has produced medal winners in every Olympic Games since Sydney 2000. So they are the precision pellet for airgun shooters! Their pellets are exported to more than 30 shooting nations all around the globe… and we are appointed UK Distributors.

Since bringing QYS pellets to the UK, many airgun shooters have switched from their legacy brands. They have taken many trophies in Field Target and Hunter Field Target competitions. Also, many hunters and have told us they now choose QYS as their go-to pellet for pest control work.

And just look at what some of the pros have to say about them:

“The truth is, these are remarkably well made and look better than any other mass-produced pellet I’ve ever seen… and I’ve seen a lot in my 35 years of this business” – Nigel Allen, AirgunTV  and former publisher of Air Gunner, Airgun World and Airgun Shooter magazines

“Simply the best pellet I have ever seen-including any of my own. I just can’t understand how QYS can do it!” – Hugh Earl, Proprietor of Prometheus Pellets and manufacturer of the famed Logun Penetrators

“It’s not often you find a pellet that surpasses all expectations and changes your own brand loyalty.” – Dave Barham, Airgunner Editor

About the Company

QYS was established in 1994. They developed their own technology and pellet making processes to produce some of the most accurate pellets ever manufactured. They have featured in every Olympic Games since Sydney 2000. To date, QYS airgun pellets have amassed a staggering total of 10 Golds, 4 Silver and 5 Bronze medals! Additionally, Official ISSF data indicates they have accrued scores of medals in World Cup events for both air rifles and air pistols.

Design

The .177 / 4.5mm QYS FT STREAMLINED HEAVY Airgun Pellets are designed around the time-proved ‘waisted’ or diabolo shape. They are smooth-sided to reduce friction while travelling both up the gun’s bore, and through the air on their way to the target. Combined with the state-of-the-art manufacturing processes, this is what makes them such an accurate pellet. By increasing the weight of this HEAVY version, hunters are provided with unrivalled stopping power and energy retention, as well as accuracy.

This pellet’s head is rounded and the body designed to be as ballistically efficient as possible. Together with the heavier-than-usual mass, this gives the pellet extra stability through the air on its way to the target.

As with any roundhead pellet, the consistency of shape is vital to achieve stability in flight. Good ballistic stability results in better downrange accuracy. Cheaper roundhead pellets are more likely to miss their target than .177 QYS FT STREAMLINED HEAVY Airgun Pellets. This is why they’re so popular with FT, HFT and Benchrest airgun shooters, as well as hunters.

Uses

The design of this QYS pellet, combined with its ‘heavy’ weight, is primarily suited to hunting and general pest control. However, the extra downrange velocity retention of the .177 QYS FT STREAMLINED HEAVY Airgun Pellets also makes them a good choice for FT, HFT and Benchrest competition shooters. The smaller caliber (.177 / 4.5mm) will result not just in a flatter trajectory, but also in higher velocities. Together with the ballistically superior design and the ability of the HEAVY version to cheat the wind, this pellet will perform brilliantly both in the field and on the range.

Suitability

The .177 QYS FT STREAMLINED HEAVY Airgun Pellets are suitable for use in PCP (precharged pneumatic) airguns, spring-powered, pump-up and CO2-powered air rifles and pistols. They are suitable for use at all power levels, including FAC-rated air rifles capable of a muzzle energy in excess of 12ft/lbs.
