The Gamo Red Fire .22 Caliber Pellets deliver match-grade accuracy and devastating terminal performance, making them one of the most technologically advanced airgun pellets available for hunters and sport shooters alike.
- Diamond-shaped polymer tip ensures a true, consistent ballistic trajectory downrange
- Hydraulic expansion on impact produces a reliable mushrooming effect for maximum energy transfer
- Heavyweight 15.4-grain lead construction delivers superior downrange stability and penetration
- Cylindrical lead jacket expands outward on impact, dramatically increasing projectile diameter
- Conveniently packaged in a resealable tin of 125 pellets for easy field use
- Engineered for high-velocity .22 caliber air rifles for optimal accuracy and knockdown power
Who This Is For
The Gamo Red Fire is purpose-built for airgun hunters targeting small game and pest control, as well as serious backyard and range shooters who demand both precision and terminal effectiveness from their .22 caliber air rifle. If you're looking for a pellet that performs like a hunting projectile — not just a plinking round — the Red Fire delivers the expansion and energy you need at the point of impact.

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of air rifle is the Gamo Red Fire .22 pellet best suited for?
The Gamo Red Fire is optimized for high-powered .22 caliber air rifles, particularly break-barrel and PCP (pre-charged pneumatic) airguns capable of generating sufficient velocity to activate the polymer tip's hydraulic expansion mechanism on impact. It performs best in rifles producing 800 FPS or greater with lead pellets to ensure consistent mushrooming at the target.
How does the polymer tip improve performance over a standard hollow-point pellet?
Unlike a standard hollow-point pellet, the Red Fire's diamond-shaped hard polymer tip protects the hollow cavity during flight, preserving a consistent and aerodynamic profile for a true ballistic trajectory. On impact, the tip is driven rearward into the lead jacket with hydraulic force, triggering reliable outward expansion — resulting in a wider wound channel and greater energy transfer compared to pellets that may deform prematurely in the barrel or during flight.
Are Gamo Red Fire pellets appropriate for small game hunting?
Yes. The combination of a 15.4-grain heavyweight lead body and controlled hydraulic expansion makes the Gamo Red Fire an excellent choice for ethical small game hunting and pest control with a .22 caliber air rifle. The mushrooming effect increases the pellet's diameter upon impact, delivering maximum energy to the target for clean, humane harvests at appropriate airgun hunting ranges.
