Poorly made

These pellets are very hard to install on the adapter without falling apart. They do work after you work with them a little bit, but not to be confused with VFG! Gave them 3 stars because I like Brownell's

Tipton Cleaning Pellets

Using 6mm pellets and they are too small for caliber. They also seem do come apart too easily. I will trash my remaining tipton pellets as soon as the VFG Weapons pellets arrive. I have use the VFG for years and they work well.

Tipton Cleaning Pellets

Unfortunately this product does not live up to the usual Tipton quality. I can only recommend the 22 cal as they are more dense than the larger pellets and don't fall apart during use. The larger pellets disintegrate during use. The VFG pellets are far superior in quality.

Junk

If I could rate these as no stars I would! They are garbage that wont even stay on the jag that came with them!

PRS shooter

Junk. You can only push down barrel. When you try to work it back and forth the felt pellets just come off inside the barrel. Don’t waste your money. I’m using tipton product number 1099936

Tipton .17 caliber cleaning pellets

Fall apart putting on the pellet holder. Not a snug fit going down the barrel. VFG pellets hold up better in the larger calibers, however they did not have to use on my .17 WSM rifle.
