Page 18 - Predator Polymag .22, .22 Reviews

Beautiful,consistant,accurate and hard hitting in my RWS 350 magnum. These also perform well in my Benjamin 392.

Bigger tin with a screw on lid.

My RWS 350 magnum can put three of these in the same hole at 50 yards on a calm day. These are my choice for hunting no questions asked!

Great penatration, great accuracy even at long distance

Tin needs to be bigger

Tried several pellets with my Benjamin Sheridan Silver Streak.Other pellets grouped good withen 25 yds. After 25 or 30 yds the others fell off quickly.These pellets are the ones.

WOW!!! These things are wicked. The PolyMag pellet is my # 1 for hunting purposes. They're just devastating. Great stopping power. They look impressive when you're shooting with friends that haven't seen them yet, they get a lot of attention.

The price! AND PLEASE, CAN YOU MAKE A TWIST ON/OFF LID? I really like these pellets, but you pay for them....with the price and the lid.

Accurate and will fly true, even at high velocity. Devastating on squirrel or bird. more accurate than crow mag's

I personally wish they were heavier. Some of the cones fall of (2 or 3 a tin)

I have been able to push these 1050 fps in my condor. at these speeds, I get 1-1.25 inch groups at 50 yards. this is acceptable because of the amount of energy that dumps into the target. Nice pop and sends the sucker right to the ground.

Consistent, snug fit, penetration, stopping power, looks

Different POI compared to the majority of pellets I use. Cost

There is a significant difference in poi between this, and other often used pellets. But if you're hunting its worth it to readjust your scope to accomodate the stopping power of these killers

These are th cats meow of hunting pellets! The polymere tip makes for great initial penetration and upon impact they mushroom-out delivering some serious knock-down capability!

Not a thing!

The PolyMag is the pellet I grab for now for hunting purposes. They're just devastating. Most pellets won't drop a squirrel or a rabbit on the first hit and these certainly do. It says it on the lid and is quite appropriate: "You don't PLAY with these". They're not kidding. Good weight, above average uniformity, and most of all KILL POWER!

There appears to be a high degree of quality control in manufacturing. Excellent uniformity.

Cost.

I experimented with a number of pellets, in terms of penetrating power. Perhaps things would have been different had I used some kind of ballistic gel or clay. What I did was fire at some pine planks and note distance of penetration. I also shot into some books and noted how many pages were penetrated. For these tests, I was using a spring-loaded pistol (Weihrauch HW45). Frankly, I didn't notice any difference between these and Beeman Silver Stings or even the Beeman Silver Aces. It's possible that differences would be noted if I were shooting into something softer.

Packs a punch for a pellet. Knocked a ground hog backwards while standing on a rock (shot from 20 feet away). Excellent vermin killer, one shot , one kill. Did this with a Crosman 2240 gun. Got rid of the local squirrel population around my house (got tired of these rodents destroying my plants).

Nothing

I'm no expert shooter, but I find these more accurate than regular hollow point and rounded point pellets I have.

One of the best designed diablo shaped hunting pellet ever. It does what it is advertised to do then some. Thats a rarity. Very cool design that reminds me of Centerfire rifle rounds made by major bullet manufactures. Polymer tip helps cut through air and breaks away upon impact to let Hollow Point mushroom and do its job.

Nothing

Pellets are expensive but the key word here is "HUNTING". All hunting specific ammo is usually more for hunting than plinking and therefore more EXPENSIVE. Its hard to put Cutting edge technology, accuracy, and premium hunting pellets in the same sentence with the word CHEAP. Also, these pellets don't perform well in all airguns which should be expected. But if you have one gun they are accurate in then they will make excellent hunting fodder.

this is the best pellet for hunting, and has extreme accuracy.

nothing

It is designed to have a better penetration and etc. My favorite pellet for all of my air rifles, by far.

These pellets look wicked if nothing else. Very unique. They shoot accurately in my Evanix and Sumatra rifles.

They are more expensive than a lot of other pellets. A few of the pellets in the tin I bought were devoid of the ballistic tips which I found loose on the bottom of the container. I randomly checked several other pellets though and the tips were securely attached.

Really just designed for hunting so one tin should last quite a while. Obviously too expensive and specialized for plinking. A really neat pellet though. Everyone should at least try them out.

It's a proper cost-to-amount for target shooting, pest management (within the realm of 30 yards, or 90 feet), and excellent infliction of penetration damages to target areas.

Increase the amount of pellet per tin to 500 at least, and drop the price per pellet by $0.01 or $0.02, replace the tin with cheap-hard plastic container with screw top (which is 1/4 the price of the tin itself but with stronger structure to support the pellet during shipping), and increase the central tip by 0.5mm with a slightly wider filling conical body for an increase of aerodynamic by 45% (I'm a scientist, but work quite closely with engineers on doing both theoretical and live simulations of the pellets)

The pellet is excellent in knocking targets in a 0.05" or hole-in-hole grouping at 20 yards (60 feet), using the Benjamin Sheridan Super Streak 0.22 caliber. Rather than the 1100fps claimed velocity, it averages around 930fps during moderate humid days, to 1020fps during perfect conditions (with very light wind). We use serveral type of chronos, to test both the pellets and the gun, which includes the Beeman Crow Magnum (with the best grouping of 0.2"), and the Beeman Kodiak (with a 0.55" grouping). Add a bit of wind (5 to 8 mph), extend the range out to 30 yards (90 feet), and the accuracy goes up to a grouping of 2", with the velocity drastically reduces from 930-1020fps to 700-810fps. Extend the range up to 40 yards (120 feet), and you get a 4" grouping, in the same condition. Anything beyond 40 yards, good luck in hitting your target no matter how much compensation you do. People always talk about expansion. We use the micrometer to test for the expanded pellet after shooting, both on hard surfaces such as wood, to soft target such as the dead pigeons and sparrows. The total expansion is no more than 5% in humid condition, and 18% in perfect conditions. But the skirt is a different story. The skirt expands beyond 100% after impacting into the birds' soft bodies. This may be due to the tremendous pressure exerted by the piston from the gun. Comparing to most guns, which exert enough forces to propel the pellet up to 600 fps, the Super Streak exerts the pellet to the speed of 1000 fps, close to twice the pressure level. Because of this, the resulting damages are unforgiving. []

Cool looking if you are into that. I am sure they would be great if I could hit anything with them!

Man, really disappointed in the accuracy. My Walther Falcon Hunter is just not working with these. I would love to at least get them to group a little bit but all are about 2 inches apart at 30 yards! Not good when trying to destroy a pesky woodpecker.

Very cool looking and feel good but without accuracy, kind of a waste?

Have been good to use when penetration is a must. Good on birds with a thick/heavy coat.

Not as accurate as some other well known hunter pellets and does not seem to have the distance as well. Good for 20-25 yd. shots where clean penetration is essential, but gets more erractic beyond that. Some guns just don't like these pellets. Many multi shot magazines will not fit these.

What can I say I read all the reviews and everyone is right, These are great pellets!! that simple.

I hear they are making heavier ones, so I'll be sure to buy more.

When I ordered mine they came fast in 3 days!! and thats by ground!

Great stopping power. Few pass throughs, great penetration, and if it does pass through it leaves a big hole. Great one hit kills.

Price is not a concern with these. They do their job as a hunting only pellet. However, I would change the build of the pellet. I found many skirts to be dinged or warped. Not good; you need to be able to have the confidence of consistency. I also would change the length. A half a millimeter would allow them to fit smoother into my 850. JSB research should look into making them a hair shorter, if they haven't already.

Expensive but worth it. I tried other pellets on these birds but the nice groups and great stopping power make this the best choice on pests. If you have pests, forget the price. They barely fit my 850. I can only fit one per magazine and I have to be careful when racking the bolt. I keep several mags in my pocket with one pellet in each. There is more time between follow up shots but I find I don't need too many of those.

excellent accuracy in my Gamo cfx, consistency of shape and weight incredible knockdown

price is a bit to high but this pellet is everything it is cracked up to be

a bit to heavy for lower powered airguns, pellet needs more speed to take advantage of shape

More accurate than the Crow Mags and that is saying something. Love the penetrating power especially when going after very tough skinned iguanas.

Make them in larger batches. Please, the lids have to be changed to snap-ons or screw-ins.

These are my favorites by far. They have a great combination of weight, penetration, and accuracy. These are a must have for hunters.

PENETRATION!! I live in a MAJOR metropolitan city where construction has taken over. Rats galore!! These things shoot through my Benjamin Sheridan Super Streak with SUPERB accuracy and take care of the "problem". VERY NICE CONSTRUCTION!!

No complaints here!

If you want a pellet that will "take care" of issues around the house or if you like small game hunting; This is the ONLY pellet for me. The weight is nice and the accuracy is even better. They cost a little more, but you get what you pay for 10 fold!!

design is cutting edge

make it shorter

Using it ( or trying to) in an Air Arms 410 TDR its too long to fit in magazine, other then that they shoot well with stopping power in my Webley/Scott .22 Hurricane.
