Page 10 - Predator Polymag .22, .22 Reviews

Very tight groups. Good stopping power.

none

This pellet works very well in a RWS 34.

GROUPING...this pellet groups the best out of my Benjamin Trails NP XL. At 20 yards my groups are.243. can't complain when your hitting everytime.

Pricing compared to many other hunting pellets is fair. I noticed skirt deformaties on alot of the pellets, but this did not hinder accuracy at all! The mushroom patern of the pellet is nothing brag about, but the 24 fp of energy will do the remainder of work on these AZ jack rabbits.

Buy them, and see for yourself!

These dump all their energy and fully expand but need to be used in airguns with higher velocities,IMHO above 700 fps at impact. 20 yard comparison= In my Benji Trail Nitro they averaged 710 fps and had very good but not complete expansion into gallon jug of water and stayed inside jug. In my Edgun Matador 22 Long they run at 955fps and have complete expansion and tumble out backside and bury into 3/4" plywood about 1/4".They lift jug off ground noticeably and moves it back a good 1.5". Accuracy wise not that great out of Benji,loose fit in barrel=1" groups at 30yds.In my Edgun these fit great,on par with JSB 18s=1/2" at 50 yds.Accuracy is great and these are definite hunter pellets for small game out to 60 in my Edgun.

An 18 grain version would be nice so ballistics would be closer to JSB.

They come protected by Pyramid's great new packaging appear to be well made and no heads missing

I did not get a chanced to evaluate the pells".25 and .22 yet so I will have to wait to do so

No, they have to be field tested to see if they are suited to your needs

The Predator has one of the truest flight paths on the market! With it's penetration ability from the Poly tip and the following concussion from the entire round, any Prey this Predator is shot at will not survive!

Consistent shaping of pellets. Packaging well insulated so pellets don't shake around.shot penetration is awesome. Consistency is ok.about the same add standard pellet.using Gamo whisper 22

Not sure.I wish they were more consistent.

Customer service phone help not very helpful. Got shipping address wrong even though I told them twice verbally. K inns screwed up my hunting trip.lucky Turkeys I guess

second best pellet my talon ss liked, these things really expand upon impact.

Give us 250 pellets for that price point.

The tin of pellets i received was very clean and uniform. I've tried these in .177 in 3 guns and none of them liked the pellets. The .22 caliber however was my talons second best grouped pellet at 25 yards.

They Look mean. When you ARE able to hit something with these it dies.

Better quality control. These really fit loose in my Benjamin nitro GP. Very inaccurate pellet. Skirts do not expand enough to grip the lands and grooves of my barrel.

These are expensive pellets. You would think for the price that this pellet would be better made. I don't recomend them. In my opnion this is a novelty pellet designed to look great so you will spend the dollars to get it.

Whats the thing I like? Will like everyone when they look at this pellet, the tip... Everything sucks!!! inaccurate, damage skirts like 70% of the tin is damage some bad enough to throw away and not shoot..bad I mean bad tin cover always falls out if u don't put tape..

QUALITY!!!!!! This pellets are overated. I'm suprise that it has the highest and best review on here. I must have recived the worst tin of the inventory will not buy again........

Try them out.... Guarantee u will not buy again.. Just like everyone else just to see what the big hype is at least that's why I bought them.. My Big BEN (Benjamin mauarder) HATES them. Best pellet out there JSB 18.1 grains perfect!!!

Very uniformed pellets , consistent in shape and weight, good penetration and knockdown power , consistent group at 25yd with Titan GP .

More pellets per can

Very impressive hunting pellets, a little steep on the price

Love these..

1 shot knock down first time everytime. No issues with accuracy, was always dead on. Love this pellet..

Very uniform. Shoots well out of my Daystate Huntsman. 0.3" groups at 35 yards.

Screw top lid.

When shooting paper, it punches a clean hole. When shooting squirrels, it gets their attention! Possible to head shoot a squirrel at 40 yards with these.

they're accurate.

The consistency.The last 4 tins I got,all the pellets had a nice snug fit in the barrel of my RWS 350 giving great accuracy.My recent order of 4 tins the pellets did not give me that snug fit in the barrel,and the accuracy though good ,was not like the last order.I also did a side by side comparision of the 2 (old stock new stock)the new pellets were shorter.

My ratings would have all been 5 stars if not for the size difference.Bring back the tighter fitting Predators. PLEASE!!!!

Consistently tight groups with my Benji Trail NP. As good as my favored pellet in this air rifle. Great expansion.

Id like to say make them less expensive but thats probably not logical.

this is the hunting pellet of choice for my mrod .22 and shoots the same POI as the jsb 15.9 pellets. it is deadly on game making quick, humane kills.

expensive, but i guess worth it for what it's designed for.

won't work in mrod magazine without slight modification. i used a dremel and ground the groove slightly deeper to accomadate it's longer dimension.

I ran a 30-round belt of these I fed through a Air Ordnance SMG-22 pellet submachine gun, and they fed flawlessly at 12 pellets per SECOND! I've since loaded a 100-round belt to use as a PDW for home intruders, especially at night. I've no doubt that a short burst from the gun would be a serious deterrent to any criminal, given the pellet's performance on small game.

It would be nice if they came in a screw-on lid, and in larger amounts per can.

No matter what air gun you use, you get your money's worth with these pellets!

Accuracy!! Destruction!!!

It only come in one weight? 16g and no options!

The polymer tip, but that's it.

More pellets for the money and a screw on lid for the tin.

I bought the Skenco UltraMag 18.2 gr. and Polymag 16 gr. at the same time for comparison. Shooting a .22 cal. Benjamin Trail NP XL the Skenco Metal Tip UltraMag shot for shot blew the Polymag away for accuracy. At 25yds. a 10 shot group with the Skenco Metal Tip UltraMag could be covered with a quarter and same yardage with the Polymags couldn't be covered with a silver dollar. The UltraMag shot with the same precise accuracy as the Kodiak HP 18.21 grain and the JSB Exact Jumbo Heavy 18.13gr. The Polymag fell into the bore whereas the UltraMag fit the bore tight. For the Benji Trail NP XL if you're trying to decide between the two I recommend the Skenco 18.2 grain.

I like the accuracy and groups well. Zeroed in with RWS and Crossman pellets for paper punching. No significant changes needed when switching to this ammo for taking down small game/rodents

Nothing

Purchased these at PA recommendation to stop the rabbits that were destroying the vegitation around our homes using a Remington NPSS. While any pellet should do the job with a well placed shot I wanted the most humane kill possible. As a test I used these on thick wall can to simulate bone against RWS SuperPoint 14.5g pellets. Both pellets are pointed and the RWS has proved to have great penetration. The red polymer tip of the Polymag had me wondering whether it was more hype than reality of it effectiveness. The results were quite different. The RWS penetrated front and back easily with a near perfect circle punched in the front and very clean exit hole out the back. The heavier can shook slightly as the pellet sailed through but stayed in place. The Predator Polymag also easily punched through both sides very easily, however the energy delivered at point of impact not only ripped a hole about 15% larger at the front, the can was dented inward around the point of inpact and the hole had splits in it. The exit hole was 25% larger than the RWS and this can flew off the block clearly showing the transfer of energy and shock to the target. The 16 grain pellet seems to deliver plenty of energy that one would be seeking in a heavy hunting pellet while light enough to go the distance for hunting pests at various ranges with worrying about a lot of bullet drop. You will not be disappointed in these.
