Page 3 - Predator GTO .22, .22 Reviews

I tried these on a whim in my AT44 QE. I was surprised by how accurate these were out of this rifle. These were one of the better shooting pellets that I have tried in this rifle.

Lower price, screw on lid would be nice.

lead free. but has a warning about lead on the can . i had some lead tester left so tested and it showed present of lead. got really disappointed but read somewhere that it might be from lead residue . so i cleaned with soap and water and tested again and there was no lead present in the tester. so if u get these just wash it and should be fine. i feel safe using these around my kid that's why i choose these and after washing and tested negative made me feel better.

wish it was heavier and the price was lower

Clean, Accurate, High Velocity, Consistent. .

500 count..

Shooting from an Umarex Octane I got an average of 989 fps. Accuracy was dime size at 20 yrds with a 7mph swirling wind. I am truly impressed by these pellets ! I believe I have found the perfect pellet for my Octane. Thanks to Pyramid Air's 4 for 3 this is a great option if you want the perfect blend of Speed , Accuracy, Value. Truly a High Quality Pellet..

Uniform. No dents on them. Very accurate out my disco. Fired 8 shots a 30 yards. Almost cover with a dime.

More for price.

Clean barrel before testing. I fired 5 shots before I tested it for accuracy.

Accuracy. I found these to be as accurate as the JSB 18.13 and 15.89, or better in 2 airguns. At 20 yards in a Theoben MFR and a Brocock Contour, the 5 shot groups were barely over the diameter of 1 pellet hole. The lighter weight added over 100 fps which offers a flatter trajectory. although they will be more affected by wind. The edges are very precise with no deformity.

The price is very high. I don't know what they are made of, but it is harder than lead..

I read that they are made by JSB. SInce they are harder than lead, I suspect the barrel will stay cleaner longer. If there is any build up of the non-lead material, I don't know yet what would dissolve it. I use Shooters Choice lead remover for my barrels, because there is no need to brush or scrub.

So far I am very surprised with the accuracy. They are very well formed and no damaged pellets in the tin. I'm not done testing but they are showing very good accuracy out of my Marauder out to 40 yards and showing very good results in a few other guns. Definitely will be doing some more accuracy testing.

Make them cheaper or at least more per tin. They are accurate but not very cost effective.

I do like the performance I'm getting with these lead free pellets but it's not any better than what I get with a lead pellet for less money. If lead ammo is an issue in your area, definitely check these out. It's not for me, so I'll stick with lead pellets for now.

Consistency and Price.

Thread on lid.

These shoot excellent out of my TX200 and at 30% cheaper than the Baracuda geen's I had been using.

accurate at close range . but not so good over fifty yards. impact is very quiet.

nothing really, about as good as you could hope for in a lead free pellet.

i think they are good for target , but not really for hunting , just my opinion, im shooting them in 22 cal, with an HM 1000 RAW pellet gun. the pellets work real good in it.

It's nice to know these won't get bent skirts nearly as easily. I had read around on these and heard good things about them so curiosity struck and I bought a tin... all I can say is wow!! Shot these out of my 2gen marauder at 40 yards. Honestly at first I thought these were gonna flop, mainly cause I know theyed be slinging at well over 900fps which normally theyed be destabilizing. My m-rod really loves the 15.89jsb which consistently pull out 3/4inch 10 shot groups at 40, on good days half inch groups. Did 5 shot groups to test these lead free ones and I was getting 3/4 inch groups. 4 really tight and one straggler. Throw him out we're talking sub half inch. Mind you over 900fps!! I was floored honestly. I dont have a chrony but I've done my homework on what the marauder can preform at. Factory tune obviously since no chrony. And honestly I wouldn't touch my tune if I did have one. Run from 2600-2000psi 30 shots. I can squeeze and extra mag in with the last few dropping at 1800psi.

Bigger tins for the money? Heck even you bumped it up 50 Pellets for the same price. With how these preform at the speeds I was shooting them out of my rifle it's well worth the money! Can only imagine the accuracy if I brought the fast download into that 850-880 range. At 17 bucks per 200 I gave it 4 stars. For what they are i don't mind paying that again but I think the price could be a tad better. That's just me being picky though.

You have to try these! For those states for require lead free ammo to hunt this is a superb alternative! I put at 18.13 jsb jumbo heavy right next to one of the gtos', the jumbo heavy is quite literally a hair taller if that. My marauder liked them well, if you own one as well I recommend that much more to try them.

Shooting from .22 Marauder ( 2nd gen). I have seen this rifle to be pellet picky, but these pellets shot a fine group out to 85 yards. Not tested beyond that. No flyers. One Mil windage per 3-5mph wind, at 75-85 yds. I use the pellets to control small rodents (in California) and these pellets work well for intended purpose. I have hawks and other help to clean up after me and lead free, aside from now being the law, makes sense to me to prevent bio magnification of the lead based pellets.

A larger tin size would be nice

This is the most consistent shooting lead-free I have tried. Almost as good as lead. The idea of handling lead less appeals to me. Most plinking takes place outdoors, but I have a place in the house for shooting 10 - 12 yards. It is nice not to add lead dust to the home. I shoot CO2, and these go about 635 fps out of a XISICO XS-60C. It can do 1/2" or smaller CTC groups at 10 yards, but there is always 1 or 2 odd flyers out of 10. That could be some other variable, of course. POI moves to the right about 1-1/2" compared to Air Arms 13.43 and 16 grain pellets at 10 yards.

Many more pellets for the money. These are priced in .22LR land.

Shooting these in the dark using a light mounted on the rifle to illuminate the target is fun. I use duct seal mounted on wood as a pellet trap. The inside of the pellet is very flat, so each pellet lodged in the trap becomes another shining target. Just watching the pellets travel reminds me videos of tracer bullets I have seen. Nothing is burning, but the light reflected off the bright shiny pellet is fun.

California compliant. It is what it is, I live behind the Iron curtain, I have been assimilated. These pellets are my last hope Obeewan.

A little spendy.

These work as advertised in every gun I have put them through which includes; P-Rod with an MMMW barrel, FX Indy, and a Taipan Mutant (12 fpe to 25 fpe across the various guns). They shoot very nearly as well at 27 yards as JSB lead pellets which are the gold standard for these three guns. This is in stark contrast to the various H&N greenie pellets I have tried which group around 1"+ at the same distance. The GTO pellets group consistently under dime size at 27 yds in all of the above cases with no fliers. Nice to have a product that lives up to its marketing hype in a time when we really need something that works.

Great pellet in the air arms 200 hunter at over 850fps and 3/8 groups at 50yds

More in the tin at this price.

Make sure you clean the barrel before you use lead-free pellets. Any lead fouling in the barrel will cause these to fly all over the place!
