Accuracy is right on, same as with it's domed brother Exact Jumbo.

Pyramyd Air does an excellent job of packing, so pellets arrive in good condition. (unlike Amazon)

Found good accuracy, amd initial testing looks good for energy transfer. Also the general condition of yhe skirts has been very good only a few with minor damage.

At this point, nothing.

If your gun does well with the domed 15.89 jsb pellets and you hunt then look into these.

Accuracy is off the charts.

The price, a little on the pricey side.

Get them, you will see a difference.

The absolute consistent accuracy, their expanding characteristics

Awesome pellets, just a bit pricey. But that's okay, you're not going to waste these on paper targets. You'll want to save these for small game hunting. A tin of 500 will last you a long time if you save them for that.

I am extremely impressed with the accuracy of these pellets. After zeroing in my new Sig Sauer ASP20 rifle/scope combo, I was obliterating the bulls eye centers of every target I put up. With the amazing accuracy these pellets displayed, along with their expanding characteristics, I anticipate they will be very effective on small game. I highly recommend these pellets and will definitely continue to use these down the road.

This is a pellet that my Syn-Rod loves!! 1/2 inch groups at 40 yards. Ground Squirrels, Starlings, and sparrows (oh my) better watch out!

nothing

Either your gun will like them or not! only your gun knows for sure

Boys and gals, I am pitching in my few cents on this wonder of pellet for the ones interested on the topic. I have a Crown in .22 with a 600 mm slug liner that shoots NSA 23 grains @ 930 fps. I decided to try out the Hades and it loves these so much that gives me same group size at 100 yds as the slugs. The fly @ 977 fps(33 fpe) on power 3,port opening on 25-30 cal and 145 bar setting, no rezero needed on my setup. I bring the power to minimum, port on low and now it goes 636 fps and 14 fpe. And it is a lethal weapon on small critters that I couldn't believe. I have 3 guns in 1. They are a must have for hunting small game, and why not plinking, they are cheaper than slugs still. Try them ,you won't want to use any other pellet in 22 after using these. The pop on impact is addictive and so destructive on contact,very impressed.

Like others mentioned, price is as little high but, worth!

If using an FX with slug liner, spray them with silicone , at least my experience is good with it.

Really quick service and delivery. Took them to the range and was hitting little pieces of clay pigeon, not hitting dirt around the tiny pieces, but actually hitting the pieces themselves, and this was at 100 yards! Very impressed.

These pellets worked great! Was using them in a Mk2 Impact 700mm slug barrel.

Great pellets! Seem to be pretty accurate in my Marauder.

Wish they made them in .25 cal.

Might want 2 tins.

My Huntsmen loves them best pellet I ever tried and I tried them all, RWS 54 likes them too, M-rod hates them On the plus I ordered 8000 be for they raise the price. This should last a long time. When JSB changed from Silver to Red labels could not get tight any more

lower price, screw off lid

One shot kills every time. I was thinking I need a 25 but no more.

Works quite well with my Gauntlet at short distances.

lower the cost

Just as accurate as the normal 15.89 or maybe even just a little bit better

Wouldn't know

I think that this pellet is one of the few existing pellets that will do very well in most airguns

very accurate in my gamo swarm magnum. I tried a variety of pellets and these gave 1 inch at 35 yards blowing thru 1/2 inch plywood. This combination gun/pellet might do more damage to squirrels than needed but, that is the squirrels problem, not mine.

screw on lid would be nice.

Great terminal performance on pigeons, starlings and sparrows. Flat trajectory at 900+ FPS. .5-.75 inch groups at 50 yards in my 700mm barreled FX Impact. Looking forward to more testing.

Nothing

These are worth a try.

Clean molding with no flashing. Typical high quality jsb pellets Just as accurate out to 50 yards as the 15.8g jsb domes. I did not shoot beyond that distance but was very happy with the accuracy out of my old school Fx cyclone with lw barrel. Was able to shoot a varmint at 50 yards but still had complete pass thru so I was unable to recover the pellet for a real world examination.

Nothing

Jsb pellets are the universally most accurate brand of pellets. These new hades seem to be just as accurate as the 15.8 and 18.1g...just not sure about terminal performance yet compared to the domes. Have not had enough hunting opportunities as of yet.

After over 1,000 of these pellets through my .22 Wildcat MkII Compact, this is unquestionably the most effective pellet, in .22 cal, for varmint control. This rifle pushes these pelts at 921, average fps, with Sd of less than 3, with clean barrel. While accuracy is very slightly less than the standard 15.9 grain JSB pellets, they are still less than 3/4" at 50 yards, in 8 shot groups. The terminal effect on 15 lbs and smaller varmints is on par with any . 25 caliber pellet, inside 60 yards. They are so very much more effective than ANY other hunting pellet, in .22 caliber, on the market and very accurate too. Tissue performance is too graphic to discuss/display on public forums. If lethality is your primary consideration, look no further. Virtually the same point of impact as the standard JSB 15.9 grain pellets and can be used interchangeably without re-zeroing the rifle.

These are perfection in function and form, for what they are designed to do,,,so nothing needs to be "changed".

If they were any heavier the Wildcat length rifles, could not push them over 875 fps, just like the JSB18.3 Exacts. In side 60 yards the mass/velocity=energy work in perfect balance to deliver the most lethality, within the 60 yard range.

Same profile as the JSB 18s but with that expanding head. Flies true through my FX Revolution and hits hard. Devastating hunting pellet like no other.

Skull and Crossbones printed large on the outside of the tin!

You owe it to yourself to pick up some of these quality pellets!!

Of the four tins of Hades that I purchased the pellets have excellent consistency. Out of my FX Royale 400 and FX Wildcat with the original smooth twist barrels the accuracy is similar to the JSB 18.13 pellets (which is outstanding) out to the 30 yards I can shoot in my backyard. I've used the Hades mostly on Eurasian collared dove, starlings and sparrows and the performance is very impressive. There is a noticeable difference in the terminal performance of the Hades vs standard domed pellets. I'll continue to use the Hades when hunting going forward.

Not much, overall an excellent product.

Very consistent round. Slowly starting to feel this pellet is more accurate then the 18.13 JSB out of my fx Streamline.I have had confirmed small game hits 75 to 100 m . That left them sitting up wondering what hit them . I am Canadian and these are pricey to obtain and I feel worth every dime .

I wish they made a Hades 18.13 round . Think they have found a winner. I would like to see bulk pack 1000 to 2500 offered. Order for the year.

Harder to find ,buy in bulk

Accurate, well made, consistent, & accurate pellet.

Screw top tins!

These pellets are supposed to be the same as the JSB 18g pellet, but with bio-hazard head, making them 15.89g. Point of impact is almost the same @ 25yds as the heavier 18g JSBs. I've not yet been able to see how well their unique head works on game.

Accuracy, lethality, fast energy dumping and Pyramid's packaging is the BEST I've encountered!

Lower price

I primarily hunt pigeons inside dairy barns and JSB 15 & 18 Diablo's were very accurate out to 100 yds in my Streamline. The bad thing is the pellets usually penetrated their body and not all first shots dropped them immediately. Over penetration often caused damage to the steel roof. Not so with the Hades. They drop the pigeon on the first shot in the DRT (Dead Right There). We've shot hundreds and have yet to see an exit hole. Accuracy actually surpasses the Diablo's and the sound they make on impact is unique. You can tell by the WHACK that its dumping far more energy into the bird. In the long run, these are lower cost than all others due to their extremely efficient stopping power on the first shot. JSB has a winner.
