So apparently these things are friggen killer on pests and small game. Anyone tried them out yet ? 2x the price of the other pellets I use.

To expensive for my air gun purposes. They look promising but I found with other fancy pellets they didn't expnab in game unless they hit bone.

I use air guns to save money and keep the boys shooting and out of my .22 lr stash. I buy a lot of Crossman pellets because I find them between 7 and 10$ a can. Last I looked the boys had about 4000 in cans on their dresser.

Thanks Wolfie. I just ordered a 500 tin to try.

Didnt group well out of my regulated M-Rod but, when they did hit the mark, it was impressive. YMMV , every gun likes something different.

One of my son's got a pack of plastic sleeved metal nosed pellets in a drawing a couple years ago...my Ruger Blackhawk breaker .177 will shoot through a metal drum with those babies! No experience with these though.

They shoot really good out of my fx and work great on pigeons

My number one requirement for pellet selection is, "How do they group?"
After that, I am open for anything which improves lethality.
Personally, I prefer the polymer tipped Predators for my 22 caliber. They group very tightly, and result in a rapid transition to room temperature.
I have used pellets with interesting looking hollow points (not as exotic as the tips of those Hades) with excellent results in both accuracy and lethality.
I went back to the Predators because they are easier to find for me.

I tell people the same thing all the time. I don't care how fast they shoot or whatever,if I cant brain a squirrel rabbit ect with them @30 yd what's the point ?

I started using the Hades last year. Grouped great in my AA S510.
I had used the H&N Hunter Extremes for several years before. The Hades grouped a little better and they do more damage. Likely a softer lead.

My biggest problem is I'm still shooting my old Sheridan blue streak. Which is 5mm or 20 cal. So when I can find pellets I always seem to pay more. So far my gun has always liked the old yellow box pellets best. So I hate spending money trying pellets that never seem to like my gun. And of course the yellow box are selling at vintage price if you find them.

That's all I ever shot. Gun shot one ragged hole at 30 yards. Everything more expensive I tried did not group near as well. Seals went bad on my gun and it's been 20 years so I sent in in and got it fixed. Now no yellow box pellets are for sale. I am sad.
