Genuine hunting pellet or just hype?any members used them in real hunting situations and been impressed by them over normal Diablo pellets.i use .177 so any info on them would be great.

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

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

You missed my point. I am saying that proof of the pudding is in the eating.I'm sceptical about the predators too... But the OP asked about the Hades...

Even better looking than a HW35
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.

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.

It's a genuine question surely asking if they are any good before paying for a tin???
Woodpigeon I am finding them ok early days yet but in my 97 I find them pretty accurate and extremely hard hitting great for rats or squirrels but as I said early days yet 👍

So you are seeing a difference over normal domed pellets ie the shock and energy transfer??

I've just ordered a tin to try..

Picked up a tin of .177 at the weekend apparently they are in short supply I was told they only could get two sleeves from suppliers I usually by a sleeve at a time
Just waiting for indoor range to reopen to do some test cards for groups for accuracy with zero wind
Hopefully they are as good as the . 22
