Devastation!

Nothing

These pellets like a bit more faster FPS somewhere in the 900-950 FPS to perform well, but when it hits its target, you can be sure that the quarry won't live.

Tested in five gallon bucket of water with 36 fpe MRod and 45 fpe Wildcat MK III with similar expansion and hit the bottom of the bucket. Barracuda Hunter turns into a pancake while the Hades has a more moderate expansion. Also, similar expansion results on small game. Useful as a deeper penetration hunting pellet. Issues with accuracy due to so many lightly bent skirts.

Shipping and PA customer service.

Packed horribly. Tins arrived bowed and bent. 25% of pellets damaged and discarded. Emailed PA about pellets and they never responded.

beyond fields and stream takes predators out like pew peww

none

great choice for ammo for game

Accurate and hits like a bag of bricks!

Nada, not a thing!

Buy the biggest tin you can because you will love shooting these babies!

Not good out of my Hatsan flashpup. They shot 2mills low and one mill right. Even when holding for that still couldnt manufacture a reasonable group at 35 yds.

My purchase

Might work for you.

Great accuracy once the point of impact is dialed in

Nothing comes to mind

I am shooting these around 915 out of my Edgun R5M. The point of impact is slightly different than the point of impact with Kings. With these, I'm hitting about a half mill low and to the right at 30 yards. What was interesting is, with my FX Impact, point of aim and point of impact are the same when shooting kings and hades. Might be the difference between smooth twist and rifled—just something to be aware of but might not impact your use case.

Consistent

Price

maintains point of impact well when switching between high and low power. Similar impact point as jsb Diablo heavy.

These run great in all of my .25 caliber PCPs and the. 22 caliber perform the same.

Nothing.

I haven't actually dissected anything to check but from everyone I have talked to and also from what I have read these really open up and expand on impact. I can say that everything I have hit with them has been lights out instantly.

Great expansion out of a marauder

Out to 40 yards they are just as accurate out of my marauder as the former jsbs I use.

I love the fact that my gun likes them

I would change nothing

Make sure you have enough if your gun does like these pellets

These pellets group great in my umerex gauntlet and open up very well in targets. I'm extremely happy with there overall performance.

I wouldn't change a single thing.

I feel these are a good deal priced to go.!

i received these pellets yesterday and immediately went to my shooting range. these pellets were shot thru my hatsan 125 sniper and blew the center out of the bullseye at 25 yds. i normally shoot the jsb exact heavy diabolo with excellent results but these hades blew them away. i never had to re-adjust the scope. at 70 yrs of age, i have never had a more accurate and power-hitting pellet.

not a thing.

try it and be prepared to be amazed.....i have several airguns in .22 and .25 and they are extremely accurate in all of them. in my bullboss in .25, varmits are going to become an endangered species.

Excellent expansion out of the lcs airarms

350 in a tin instead of 300

This a all around great pellet highly recommended buying this product

In .25, these offer a near-perfect combination of pellet weight and design, providing outstanding accuracy out to 100 yards and excellent terminal effects on the target, be it can, paper, or varmint. Maybe my new favorite.

They're a little dear, but they're also very good. More pellets for the price might help.

I'm going to buy them again, both for my .25 and my .22 guns.

What it does when it impacts the target

Make them repeat point of impact.

I own a hatsan gladius short 25 cal, currently I have no problem with the predator polymag pellets making quarter size shot groups from 35 yards.
The best I could get from these hades pellets was 2" groups. No matter how I turned my rifle these pellets struggled on accuracy.
I wish I could return the rest of them cause I will not be shooting them anymore.

Very accurate, dime sized groups easily at 30yrds. Devastating on pests or hunting, trust me youll know when you hear the pop on impact.

Nothing other than this pellet is hard to get your hands on right now. I think my order was on back order for about 2 weeks. These pellets are pricey, but worth it if you can get your hands on them.

I have the hades in .22 for my syn Hatsan bullpup and .25 for my Umarex Guantlet. Very accurate out of both guns. If your looking for a pellet for pests or hunting this will be a must for you to add too your ammo.

Great to finally have the Hades in.25 cal.

It would be nice to match the Hades weight to the Kings so that you don't have to hold over,

I tend to get roughly twice the flyers compared to the the Kings.

knocks 'em dead,period !

nothing

22 cal for rats is plenty....

Devastating on rodents. Absolutely stopped my pack rats in their tracks. They just literally lay down and stop moving. All my shooting with the .25 Hades has been at 20 yards or under. I have yet to try them at distance.

Nada.

I have used the .22 Hades extensively and if the .25 performs as well as the original .22s do, then we quarter borers are in for a treat!

Excellent accuracy out of my fx impact. Groups are comparable to JSB exact diabolo 25.39 gr. I used these for hunting. One cottontail rabbit and 8 eurasian collared doves were felled with one shot each. None were headshots, all were pass-throughs. Ranges varied from 20 to 40 yds. Soft tissue damage appeared to be greater than the domed pellets. The impacts were significantly more audible than with traditional domed pellets. I like them and will continue to use them for hunting.

Price. Same as the other reviewers.

I had to re-zero my scope for these. They hit 2 Inches low at 30 yds compared to the JSB 25.39 gr domed. Not certain they actually expand or fragment on game because they were not recovered. Some of the skirts are slightly dinged (in shipping, I presume.) The same shots taken on the same game with domed pellets would have given the same results, most likely. I shot one Eurasian with a .22 FX hybrid slug from my Kral puncher knight. It fell, dead, from the tree also. The slug did not make a loud WHOP like the Hades .25 when they hit a dove.
