Page 2 - Predator Polymag .22, .22 Reviews

These pellets shoot really well from my .22 FX Crown @ 860 fps to 50 yds (about 1/2 inch group) ... (Teds Holdover has mentioned this already). Ted says they wander >50 yds (I agree) and Matt Dubber (Air Arms Hunting SA) did some tests to show expansion. He was absolutely correct. Predator Poly Mags have some amazing expansion. Now that JSB Hades are here and air gun slugs as well, these pellets will finally have some competition. But, they fill their traditional role very well. I have shot about 2,000 Richardson Ground Squirrels in 2 months so far this year, on a Golf Course with JSB 18 gr & 15 gr, Crosman Premier 14.3 HPs, and Predator Poly Mags ... under 50 yds there is no comparison. Their expansion and quick kill is amazing for a 16 gr pellet. I found them to be the most humane. Usually a head shot is instant death and a heart/lung is very quick (big cavities). Also appreciate the expanded pellet usually does not pass through ... ie, not worried pellet pass through.

Lower cost would be great, but maybe with more competition from JSB Hades and slugs we may see a price drop?

These original pointed 16 gr pellets fit in my .22 FX Crown rotary mag, but barely. I had to loosen the Allen screw a 1/4 to 1/2 turn, but they do fit and cycle reasonably well. I had doubted them a bit. But after watching Matt Dubber shoot them in the clay and the seeing size of their expansion, I really wanted to try them. These are the pellets to use if you do not want troublesome pests (hard to kill), squirrels for the pot, or looking for a quick and more humane option. These work well enough, that under 50 yds with a PCP Airgun a well placed head or heart/lung shot will easily take prairie dogs down as well. These are just my results (yours may vary), but I was very pleased how well my FX crown shot them (I did not miss a shot for the first 2 Mags ... after sight in) ... very happy with that vs some of the cheaper pellets (bulk, local pellets @ Walmart). JSB now manufacturers these pellets and they are high quality that I recommend!

I was skeptical about the whole plastic tip thing but these grouped really well and the pellets looked very consistent.

Kinda pricey, since for me, these don't do any more than others that are about the same price for 1.5 times more pellets.

They shoot tight groups and hit with authority - whats not to like? My 22 marauder pistol loves these.

Groups tight, not a whole lot of drop at 40 yds and seems to knock down pests with a single hit.

Nothing - that's why I'm a repeat customer.

I'd give them a try.

Really like these pellets. They are accurate and consistent, and they bring down prey (small game). That said, I have had gray squirrels skitter away after solid hits, but I've also had plenty of kill shots as well. Placement matters, but doesn't it always? IMHO, Skenco's metal-tips are slightly better, but they're also a bit more expensive as well. No issue with tips coming off. These are great pellets, and will stay in my arsenal for the foreseeable future.

Nothing.

great pellet. very accurate in my gamo .22 rifle. good knock down power. been using polymags for several years

Packaging is Great. Accuracy at 50 yards from my Gauntlet is just over the size of a quarter. For a serious hunting pellet this type of accuracy is rare

Nothing

Too long for the Gauntlet magazine

Devastating pellet for small game.Good penetration on wet or thick fur.Every pellet is a squirrel for the pot.

A little pricey,but worth it.

The way they look

Slightly shorter

They do not fit in most PCP air gun mags

These are the most effective pellet I have found to use on squirrels. Accurate AND deadly.

In my np2 this is as accurate as any pellet I`ve tried . Actually the most accurate !Dont shoot alot of animals but it did drop a healthy woodchuck with one shot.

Bigger tins.

Great pellet!!

Small compact tin

Screw on lid please

Hard to not like a pellet that the gun(s) like - as in my guns - and quality made assures that lots of accurate moments/shots will continue to come session after session tin after tin.

Add a tiny hollow point at the end of the polymer red dunce cap - just joking!!!! LOL

I go back before all the magic pellets, super pellets and I've did more than a little smallbore airgun pesting/hunting at various power levels from 6ish FPE up to 30 .177 to .25. At closer ranges I've gotten many quick clean kills with lowly flats or wadcutters and it really doesn't get any better than a good domed sporting pellet. I'm talking pellets - not bullets!

Devastating on small game, but the real advantage for me is the accuracy. I use them in a Hatsan Mod 125 Sniper (.22 Cal.). After testing nine different pellets, mostly JSBs and H&Ns, I settled on H&N Sniper Magnums, three quarter inch groups consistently at 20 yds. Not too bad, but later decided to try the Polymags just to see how they would do. They really surprised me because I did not expect to see tight groups with hollowpoints but these grouped as tight as the H&Ns or tighter. . . . So I tried them in the Hatsan Mod 95 (.177 Cal.) just for grins, and got the same good results. Don't known yet how they will group from a PCP, but I'll be working on that. These pellets are well worth your investment to see how they group in your rifle. Give the little buggers a try!

Pricey for the quantity, but certainly well worth that price. Possibly better seated plastic tips, I have found several which have come out of the pellet, but this is rare.

Packed very well, even after I have depleted half the tin, I still can't hear pellets rattling around inside as I'm carrying them around in my pocket. The foam pads inside the tin really help here.

These are very hard hitting pellets. If your air gun likes these, they work very well, to well enough for the one ince kill zone. My hammerli 850, Hammerli Pneuma, Fx Ranchero, Ataman pistol, and walther Maximathor all like these. They are the best over all pellet out to about 40 yards.

Screw on lid, more for less ? They need to make some money, and Pyramyd Air's buy three the 4th is free makes them a very good deal.

These are hunting pellets, and mushroom well, with enough power. If they don't quite fit a magazine, don't be afraid to file the tip down a bit. With my .25 Fx Crown, these are more accurate filed down to fit the magazine than single loading.

These are great pellets. Extremely accurate out of my air force escapeSS...your mileage may vary. Im using these to hunt squirrels and all shots have been one shot kills. Before the polymags I was shooting the Eun Jin 35 gr and they were not putting the squirrels down. After rechecking my zero multiple times I took another shot at a squirrel and hit it in the head. The eun jin pellet actually didnt penetrate the skull but bounced off which Im guessing is what happened to the previous squirrel. The second squirrel did die due to the blunt force trauma but after that I switched to polymags. Every kill since has been good and clean. Long story short great pellets

The tins are over packed which leads to some skirts getting deformed.

Very well made.

nothing.

buy them.

This pellet in .22 is accurate and devastating on mongoose here in Hawaii. Shoots very well out of a Benjamin steel eagle, I get a 10 shot spread at 25 yards within 3/4 of an inch.

More pellets for the $$$. That's why I started to look for other pellets that will perform at a better $.

This pellet would have gotten a 5 star review but the $ to pellet ratio stopped that. But I still would recommend it you just have to save up to buy it.

These and the Air Arms Diablo fields are my go-to pellets whenever I buy a new gun they fit and shoot well we'll in just about every gun I own in both 22 and 25. These are excellent hunting pellets they penetrate and expand very well.

Nothing

No need to oil these pellets they run very clean

Accurate. Devastes squirells

Good to go
