This pellet was named after the desert ram silhouette that is shot at 45 yards (about the size of two quarters). The Ram Jet was designed with the competitions of silhouette and field target in mind, but has found an equal home in the airguns of hunters and "plinkers." The round nose allows for minimal forward air resistance and the pellet has an exceptional lack of yaw and drift, even in unstable air. The semi-wadcutter edge will catch and knock down a target, even with a glancing blow, and the heavily weighted nose adds to the knock-down power. Tom Holzel, author of the Air Rifle Hunters Guide and an independent airgun hunting and ballistics expert selects the Ram Jet as the "pellet of choice" in .20 caliber.
