stu64 Posted January 27, 2020 Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 Lots of talk about the hades pellet and in particular people wanting them in .177 mainly to see if they offer any expansion. I've just tested polymag and metal mag in my .177 AAs410 and was impressed. shooting a 25mm spinner at 50 yards every shot was a hit with both pellets, and point of aim was no different to 8.4g jsb pellets. shot a bar of soap at 25 yards and dug out the pellet and measured it- what was 4.5mm had expanded to 5.5mm- 20% expansion. does anyone else like them/use them?

figgy Posted January 27, 2020 Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 So your basically making .22 pellets out of .177, well done 😋 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stu64 Posted January 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 not sure what you're getting at? my post was just to show my personal experience with these pellets, and that they do what they say they will do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stu64 Posted January 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 Made by jsb for predator International who are American distribution company. Labelled as predator polymag or metal mag. I get mine from voymir. Com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted January 27, 2020 Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 Yes it was tongue in cheek humour, sooty you didn't get it. Your one of the rare ones that's found them accurate. If they work in your gun and happy with expansion that's great. As for soap I've not found any with the same consistency as flesh. Fresh roadkill will yield more realistic expansion results.

stu64 Posted January 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 Hi figgy I wasn't too sure about the soap either, I couldn't think of an alternative, not sure if I want to retrieve a pellet out of roadkill! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arron yeates Posted January 27, 2020 Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 Lol road kill for serious testers ay figgy. Ill leave that to you haha.. soap to was your hands with after you picked it out lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mice! Posted January 27, 2020 Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 I saw a video of a yank shooting the hades pellets into a tub of water to look at the expansion?? Again how realistic this is compared to flesh I don't know. Is the polymag the one with the red plastic insert in it? Couple of guys putting squirrel shooting videos up using those with good results.

figgy Posted January 27, 2020 Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 (edited) Water has too much surface tension and does not resemble flesh. I can understand not wanting to go poking around in old roadkill. But fresh early on a morning is fine so long as it's not sqaushed flat. Go shoot something living and then retreive the pellet.

stu64 Posted January 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 Polymag has red plastic/polymer insert, metal mag insert looks like brass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stu64 Posted January 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 There is a vid on YouTube just called predator pellets by critter glitter airguns, he shot 2 squirrels and retrieved the pellets. Very good expansion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted January 27, 2020 Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 What speeds were they going, this is the biggest factor for expansion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
