Page 9 - Predator Polymag .177, .177 Reviews

I can't say enough about PyramydAir and their fast shipping and customer service! Thankyou very much! The Predators are my GO-TO pellet from now on. I am at present only using a HW40 pistol. and the velocities are no where near the advertised. BUT... having said that... I was using Beeman Hollow Points with some success on Common Grackles, but no luck on anything else. Now... I have taken full-sizedcrows (at 20+ meters) and numerous grackles and a couple of squirrels at about 10 meters. The necropsy afterward showed the pellet performed as advertised and I definately would recommend it. The Predators are very accurate and consistant.

I would consider making the Polymer point a bit harder or changing it to brass. A bit heavier yes, but it does have a bit of flex to it. Otherwise I would change nothing.

A rifle or higher velocity pistol than what I am using would be my recommendation. Because of the fairly light weight of the pellet, I would not want to push it beyond 800 - 900 fps, as this may cause peoblems for the powerplant and breaking the sound barrier would make the pellet unstable (I would think).

The accuracy at 20yd. I can shoot hole for hole. The poly tip gives it really good penatration which is good for pigeons

The can make it screw on, and also the price (or get more of them).

If your looking for a good penatrating pellet. Also these pellets tend to go right through pigeons at the most 35yd.

I shoot a GAMO WHISPER DELUXE. I have tried just about every pellet. I have now found the one that does what it claims. It is very accurate and fast. I has good killing power on small game especially squirrels. Look no further this is the best pellet around!!!

Lower price and more pellets

Do not keep searching for the right pellet. This is the one you have been looking for.

Every thing!!! Size, weight,cool design.

screw on lid . Wish they would come in 500 tins , little pricy

Shoot less than a hallf inch group out of my gamo CFX @ 30 yards

Penetration,Stopping POWER

Quantity,Price could be a little lower

BUY BUY BUY These are great pellets for all your rodent problems

great shape/weight / penetration

The tin lets the pellets out, higher quantity.

Use in a high fps gun. I used a gamo varmint hunter with an upgraded spring, trigger, and scope(chrono at 1200 fps), shot a squirrel at 50-55 yrds into shoulder, left lead part of pellet at the wound, on the other end, the tip took of its shoulder : )

absolutely amazing pellets, I am a brother of the marine corps so take my word on these pellets...they will not let you down (Semper Fi) i've been shooting pellet guns since i was a youngen and nothing has ever impressed me as much as these have, deadly accurate, flat trajectory, and just amazing. i shoot a gamo viper and this gun with these pellets make an amazing hunting combination...i've dropped squirrels from 50 yards using this deadly combination, rabbits, birds, and other small game so buy these things now and a lil advice....mite wanna buy two packs at once cuz ur gonna shoot these things nontop if ur like i am

absolutely not one thing.....except the fact ull catch urself staring at the gorgeous sight of these things and forget they're made to shoot not drool over

buy these you wont regret it! DO IT...DO IT....DO IT...IT DO IT!..............o ya dont use these for plinking or whatever these things are made for hunting so dont disrespect their job

I liked the shape and weight.

amount in the tin

NOT REALLY HIGH PENETRATION IF YOU ARE SHOOTING WOOD OR THE BOTTOMS OF SODA CANS(HARD TARGETS) BUT REALLY GOOD PENETRATION IF YOUR SHOOTING BIRD, RATS, RABBITS SHEETROCK(SOFT TARGETS)

Shape, velocity and accuracy

Screw on cap

I also have good results with .177 on squirrels and even rabbits. Yes, you need bullet placement. But I'll take velocity and pellet shape over diameter any day.

great penetration, and stopping power, all into one.

more quantity, but truthfully, the 200 of them is worth 12 bucks.

best pellet that you will ever use. great accuracy, and great small game killing ability. awesome

I loved everything about the pellets, I hit squirrels and not one moved to much further than where I hit them. I also have to say I think the pellets went super sonic some of the time not sure but I sure heard a loud whip sound. It sounded like I hit glass.

Nothing, their the best pellets out on the market!

If you hunt small game no mater caliber this is the pellets for you. I tell all my friends to buy the pellets.

This pellet is hard hitting, scarily accurate and groups amazingly well in my gammo varmint hunter. I tried quite a few pellets from crossman copperheads, to gamo master points and hunters. which were second to these. I dialed in with the hunters and got decent groups. I tried the predators and noticed they off to the right. The groups I was getting with the predators were tight (almost touching). I dialed this pellet in at 20 yards and they were cutting the center of the target with alot of them going through the same hole. I put down a lot of turtles in my brothers creek today. These pellets are like the Hornady V-max of pellets.

The lid needs to be a screw on. Other than that, nothing else

This pellet will get em.....

excellent shape and penetration,acurate to a fault

nothing,except the quantity of pellets,

pricey but the workmanship of the pellets is top notch,

I think the polymer tip really brings a good deal to the accuracy of this pellet. Especially in medium powered pellet rifles like my Benjamin 397. As far as I'm concerned, the .177 sized airguns have recieved a bad rap as far as usefulness in hunting. Key word is "small-game", you wouldn't hunt bear with a .22 would you?!? These pellets might just change your mind folks. I've downed plenty of squirrels this season, with one shot kills at ranges from 75 to 100' (25 to 35 yards give or take). It's all in where you hit them that counts. They get results!!!

Yes, these pellets are a bit pricey, but a screw-on tin would be prefered.

People who say a .177 cal is too small to hunt with are either poor shots, or not very smart hunters.Nothing could be further from the truth. The closer you get to your adversary, the better the chances of getting a one shot kill without undo stress to the creature. To blame failure on pellets and rifle calibers sounds like an excuse for poor hunting and shooting. Do yourself a favor and give these a try. The Predator pellets and a 397 Benji make an excellent combo for all kinds of "small-game".

Very accurate and consistent. Hits hard and expands very well.

The point at which the skirt connects to the head of the pellet is very narrow, and long, almost lake a shaft to a dart. this allows it to shift inside the magazine of my 850 air mag and cause feed problems. I also don't like the tin that they come in.

The picture of this pellet shows the .22 cal version which is shaped more like a traditional pellet. The .177 cal version is shaped like a dart, with a thin shaft between the skirt and head of the pellet. This prevents the O-ring in the 850's magazine from holding the pellet in place. The pellet does fit in the mag and wont fall out, but can shift back and fourth. This can cause feed problems if you are not careful. it does shoot nice out of all my air guns and overall is an excellent pellet.

I have shot pellet guns for about 35 years and was a member of a local bench rest club. These are the best pellets to date for accuracy and effective small game hunting. The alloy also has great penetration. They also do very well in my Sheridan HB17 pistol. My main gun is a Model 52 RWS.

Make available in 500 tins. I went through 3 - 200 round tins very quickly. I guess you could argue that the non-lead alloy doesn't expand as much as the old lead pellets but there are very effective at dispatching small game.

I have shot about 20 squirrels with the RWS with these pellets over tha past 4 months and nearly every hit out to about 60 yds exited the squirrel. I also shoot 22 long CBs in my backyard and these pellets/gun combo are considerably more accurate (< 1/2" groups at 20 yds) on a bench rest I have in the basement. This is the best pellet that has come along. Saboted pellets aren't accurate enough to be useful and I tested them as well.

it is very accurate when you put it in a gun

nothing at all

when you put this pellet in your gun be prepared to hit your target

great penetration

maybe make the tips a shade bigger

too long to be used in the 357 crosman magnum

cool design

.177 is not enough for hunting, in my opinion.

I shot these pellets with a crossman 2104x that a friend gave me and there just ins't enough power to get squirrls. I mean, you can get them but you need a perfect shot at very close range (10 feet or less). I guess these pellets are good but anyone thinking about hunting / pest control should not believe the marketing about the .177 pellets being a good choice. You do not want your pests dying in your neighbors yard or being found bleeding in the road. I suggest that people use a high power .22 with sub sonic pellets to keep the noise down and drop the pests on the spot.

marco puerto rico it has a devastating power , great accuracy , and a very humane kill

not a thing

be very carefull with this pellets
