adam scott Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 hello, i have in my possesion some prometheus pellets! some my old man gave me, some i bought! has anyone one else used them?? if so... how did u get on?? what did you use them for?? (i thought perhaps rabbits, but i have been getting on really well with h points.) did u have any trouble zeroing your sights?? i found the pellet to be unpredictable! i took one or two shots, moved my sight's slightly then the next shot moved around 6-8" right. i took another shot without moving my sights and the pellet landed left!! strange! mygun is but a year old. it is also really consistant with lead pellets! any help guys?? here they are. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Prometheus-Hunting...s/dp/B001G1T7GA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dekers Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 Not read all this so excuse me .. and I've not used any of these for years, still got most of at least one box of them, was it 50 or 100 in a box I think, crazy expensive and useless, I struggle to understand how they are still in business...Have they improved over the years?? Probably the worst pellet I have ever used!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSA-airgunner Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 the best part about them is the handy plastic box they come in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougy Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 (edited) Probably the worst pellet I have ever used!! If i remember correctly wasn't it the prometheus company who closed down the "Sussex Sabo" production due to breach of copyright couldnt see why Now they were good, in my air rifles anyway. Prometheus i did use them but found they didnt group too good at all, neither the FAC version "Titan Black" Edited May 5, 2010 by Dougy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westcountryman Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 They were a gimmic and IIRC, used to leave a thin layer of plastic in your barrel. A bit of a blast from the past though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
