    I was sceptical of predators. Just tried them... only msnaged 1 rat and it dropped like a stone.

    Not been able to try over distances though.

    Hades .25; superbly accurate in both sub12 & FAC, ragged 5p size single hole for a magazine (Scorpion se/Rapid)

    Predator polymag .25; slightly larger ragged single hole, but a fraction too long for the Rapid mag, so single load

    You missed my point. I am saying that proof of the pudding is in the eating.

    From what I've seen, they need FAC power to fully work properly, they open a bit in .177 because of the faster speed but in the slower larger calibres they don't really open at all unless in FAC powers.

    Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in

    I haven't missed anything...
    Just wonder why people are replying with meaningless posts just for the sake of it... The proof is in your posts count.

    The price of pellets in a tin depends on the price of Mackerel at the fish mongers in Islington.

    In 0.177 they are the same as a JSB Heavy 10.34grn but I found they weren’t quite as accurate in my Dreamline as the Heavies
