Has anybody ever used these pellets(Daisy Precision Max .177 Cal, 7.8 Grains, Wadcutter)
and how did they shoot?

I have shot a couple of Boxes of them.   Do yours say wadcutters or flat-nosed?  I had some Daisy Quicksilvers that shot as well as anything I have shot but I can't find them any more.  The Daily Precision Max I have, well, I don't know if it is graphite or lead dust but they are dirty.  In both of my 1377's they have out-shot all of the pointed and round-nosed pellets I have tried.  I am shooting more expensive wadcutter pellets now that do shoot smaller groups.  The guns are getting more mods and I might just be getting better so that might account for some of it.  I have not tried more expensive pointed or round-nosed pellets.

I have started washing my pellets and it seems to have improved my accuracy plus it keeps my gun and fingers a lot cleaner.

I recently shot a few of these through my 177 2240/1740 they were good, dirty but shot well not as good as there hp`s but better then there pointed pellets they shot a half inch group at 15 yds compared to cp hunting pellets .25" and cp destroyers .25"

Do any of yours actually say "Wadcutters" on the box/tin?
We may be shooting different pellets.  Mine say "Flat-Nosed"

I have some of the Flat Nose in .22 Never found any labeled "Wadcutters"
They shoot good, if you hand pick them. There are a lot of them mis-shaped, squashed and dinged. Dirty, oily and plain finger blackening pellets, but cheap (read: inexpensive) and group pretty good if I shoot off a rest. I had it in the back of my head to make a jig for re-forming them into shape....someday.

 I target shoot at my patio range regularly at anything that amuses me. My .22 modified 1377c, with a 16" barrel likes Daisy w/c's , my .22 2240 12" barrel prefers crosman H/P's, and my .177 1377c 16" barrel carbine likes both types, hp's & w/c's, with the edge going to the w/c's.  I'm talking about dime size groups off a rest @ 10 meters  with a crosman targetfinder scope, using .177 w/c's with  hrs. of practice. I get quarter size groups with the bsa r/d equipped 2240, using the h/p's off a sandbag rest, that satisfies me, and I can get them at walmart. I've tried other stuff, but I always come back to these, this ain't the olympics       pi'rouge
