Predator Metalmag Pellets, .177 Reviews

Good pellet

nothing

my Rem NPSS loves these

Visually consistent

Expensive

These things are small and heavy, it easily went through an empty Lysol can and half way into a 1/4 wood backstop. When I fire them they don't seem as loud as my Gamo Luxor Cu all copper 5 grain pellets, this likely means the muzzle velocity is a bit lower than shooting with the Luxor Cu.

The tin is the smallest thing ever, I would like to see a screw on top to make it less likely to spill them all every where though. I would also like to see a full copper version of this, they are nice and pointy. This shape allows for some wicked penetration, a full copper one would be insane.

I seen some reviews saying the tip came off in the container, this is not the case for me. I dumped them all out to see if any heads came off, they were all intact for me. I'm using my Gamo Varmint with these and they should get any job I have for them done nicely.

These little guys will remind you of the pellet version of AP rounds! I like that they pass right through the targets I was shooting and were the only pellet to do so. They expand on the lead part that sticks out behind the metal tip and devastates any target, after penetrating. Every pellet I found was torn up beyond recognition, except the metal tip will be visible smooshed up with the lead.

I found a large number of metal tips at the bottom of the can and some pellets that were just cool looking hollow points, but they can be put back together easily. I would love to see a pellet like this, but tapering of the lead to match the tip so they pass right through without expanding.

IF YOU HUNT WITH THESE, YOU SHOULD KNOW THE METAL TIP WILL BE THE DEEPEST PIECE OF THE PELLET AND WILL COME OFF THE PELLET IN MOST CASES. BEWARE BITTING INTO YOUR MEAT IF YOU DON'T FIND IT RIGHT AWAY. ALSO, THE TIPS CAN FLY OFF DURING FLIGHT(RARE) AND JUST GRAZE YOUR TARGET BUT THE LEAD WILL STAY TRUE.

They hit hard

Nothing

Not super accurate but definitely good enough

The pellets are well balanced, good shape for straight flight, and good knock down power.

Nothing at this time unless the maker decides to make a cheap product.

The pellets fit the rifle bore good and firm which gives it a good flight when leaving the rifle barrel.

I have hunted squirrels extensively with these pellets in .177 caliber and have successfully harvested hundreds of them, highly recommend use as a hunting pellet.....very accurate and hard hitting.

Price....kind of high!

Practice a lot...it pays off.

Whats not to like? Accurate as hell at closer ranges (have not tried over 20yards yet. Should be a real good hunting pellet for tougher small game head sgots penetrating, and flattens out.

Nothing.

Ive seeb and tried many gimmicky pellets. These are the real thing.

uniformity and accuracy

Would like to see a screw top lid.

very accurate hard hitting pellet. You can hear the pop when it hits a soft target. I watched my brother K.O. a squirrel short range with the pellet hitting right on the shoulder. instant kill/.

Likes. . .weight, shape, accuracy.

Incorporate into production a more secure fit of metal tip into pellet body. So far 3 tins have up to 1/3 of pellets where tips have seperated from body.

If you get a good tin, these pellets can easiy become a go to for multi purpose use. They are worth a try. I use in Stoeger x20. . .Gamo Show Stopper . . Silent Cat. . Bone Collector IGT. . And other .177's with good results.

Looks awesome and shoots awesome. I love the impact.

Nothing.

Works well with my bolt action pellet rifle.

Awesome pellets. Looks cool, shoots very good, very good impact.

Nothing much to change...

Very fun shooting with my bolt action pellet rifle.

Shot well in my Gamo Whisper. Small group ings.

After capturing these and standard dome pellets in duct seal, the dome seemed to spred and have greater impact than Metal mag. Metal mag seemed small and slightly bend after impact.

a very accurate and effective pellet.

nothing..

See things I liked...

I have a Whisper Fusion Pro and it favors these pellets over all others so far. The little pointed tip often goes its own way without affecting the path of the main projectile.

Quite a number of them have had the tip fall out while waiting in the end my pellet pen.

Nice compromise between penetration and expansion, well worth the money. I suspect my gun knows it's being pampered when I shoot these and acts accordingly.

Quality control, very good build pellets, penetration, ACCURACY im hiting 10 cent coins at 40 yards, honestly i wasn't expecting this to be that accurate.

More pellets for the price

I was trying new pellets on my hw97kt and the metalmags were the second most accurate pellet at 40 yards i am able to hit a 10 cent coin every time, these are far better than the polymags.

They hit hard, very accurate out of my Crosman 2300T that has a 21 inch barrel and a power valve.

More for the money

I don't see too many brass tipped pellets, these are my go to pellets when shooting at tin cans, maybe at some pesky varmints which it would do nicely.

Hits hard with great penetration. Better grouping than with a dozen or so of other types of pellets I've used. Expect to anchor many tree rats with them. Skirt fit is perfect in my Gamo Bone Collector .177 receiver.

Nothing except price and/or quantity.

Am very impressed with their accuracy and I think you will be too.

Everthing.

More pellets!

Very accurate, And cuts like butter! :) I would buy 100 cans if I could afford them! A CSA recommended these since at the time I ordered the "Predator Polymag .177" Were out of stock. LOVE THEM! ^_^
