NIGHT SEARCHER Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 (edited) This weeks Fieldsports Britain. www.fieldsportschannel.tv Three new Pellets from RWS up to 30 % faster and harder hitting very interesting. New Pellets are HYPERMAX pointed. HYPERDOME. POWERBALL. They were out in spring but they are now in the UK. Hypermax + Hyperdome are made very light hence a lot faster. Powerball have a steel ball in the end of a hollow point by the looks of them supposed to be good for Hunting. Are they accurate will be the question. :unsure: Happy Edited August 16, 2013 by NIGHT SEARCHER Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wharf Rat Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 (edited) Doesn't matter how they perform on paper. Can you hit with them them the way you can with an AA Field, or Superdome? Edited August 16, 2013 by Wharf Rat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evo Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 will be interesting to see how much they cost being lead free Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisjpainter Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 Powerball looks like an interesting move, but whether it will be a genuinely useful development, or just another gimmick like the copper coated jobs, I'm not sure...

Salop Matt Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 I bet they are all rubbish !

evo Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 have to agree with salop,,one thing I have noticed is the rws superfield seem to be made of mainly tin , hardly any lead in them quiet accurate though. not as accurate as the JSB exact,s 15.89g in all my air rifles, so as salop said it will be lead for me also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmytree Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 Something to consider, a lead ban has already started with the shotgun users, wildfowlers now use steel? How long before that gets extended to airgunners? From what I've managed to find out, lead free pellets don't like choked barrels, which country has the only airgun manufacturers making guns with unchoked barrels? China! If a lead ban comes in it will be a dateline ban, so if you have 10,000 pellets left they will still be illegal. So much as I love my AA Fields I'll still try alternatives just in case.

NIGHT SEARCHER Posted August 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 I have tried a few in the past (ie) Prometheus and Thunderbolts they were OK at close range but at 30 yds plus they were ****. Not very accurate and leave little shards of plastic in your barrel nice. **** that. If there is a lead ban coming. I have over 15.000 lead pellets. And one Rifle that is designed to load and shot Accupells in its in line mag. I use a lot of Crosmam premier magnums. RWS superdomes. RWS superfields. And i find them very accurate out to 50 yds.

bruno22rf Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 No doubt that these will be the best thing in the world of airguns since the PCP-they will cure cancer, solve the worlds food problems and be the source of world peace-just like every other type of pellet invented since the good old lead dome head-lets see, in a years time, how many competitions are won using them.

Theskyfox Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Been using logun penetrators and had no problem with those? I cant find a decent source as to what they are made of though. Most places seem to say they are lead-free... -Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
