Page 9 - Predator Polymag .22, .22 Reviews

Accuracy, energy, penetration.

Offer a range in grains and 500ct. package would be nice.

Great small game pellet. (rabbit) Drops em like no other. But if you're hunting for food, go head shot because these tear the rabbits up when shooting at heart/lungs. That's using a Remington npss in .22 cal.

Very accurate in all of my mid to high powered guns. Most vital and head shots are one shot kill. POI is similar or the same as the JSB 15.9.

PRICE!

All I can say is Wow. This is the most impressive pellet I have come across. First off they are super well made, coming from JSB that's no surprise. They are amazingly accurate out of my Crosman Model 1 shooting around 550fps. The best part? Expansion begins almost immediately after impact causing devastating damage! I suspect they are made out of a softer lead as the pellets flatten into coins when they hit my backstop (a stump).

Not change, but rather I would love Predator or JSB to make a pellet like the Gamo Rocket with a BB Ballistic Tip. Gamo Rockets are nice but the quality just isn't the same as JSB. The reason is that I would love the Polymag to penetrate a little better; they were bouncing off the key limes we were shooting while Gamo Rockets smashed them to pieces. Although this isn't necessarily bad, the penetration may be limited in lower power airguns. Please, please, please make one with a BB Ballistic Tip.

Turns fruit into fruit salad.

Excellent Pellet! Tried about 15 pellets for my Benjamin Maurauder pistol. This is my favorite! Excellent accuracy and penetration - best penetration of any other pellet I've used to date. Grain size works well for the BM pistol, which is about 12-13 foot pound .22 pistol. Loads well. Very uniform.

More affordable. Still, given it's effectiveness, I give it 5 stars for value. If it was cheaper, I would stop looking for alternatives.

This pellet is well reviewed already so I don't need to repeat general [positive] comments. It fits nicely in the Benjamin Marauder Pistol. Penetration is exceptional for small pests (rats) and highly accurate at close range. Haven't used it for long range. No complaints.

For paper punching they cut a beautifully clean hole.

More weight?

Accuracy is one of the worst of the 5 pellets I have tried.

Good pellet for the price

nothing

So I finally got out and shot these bad boys against cardboard. My backstop is usually a double bag cereal box filled with sheets of cardboard and backed by a magazine. Although penetration was not as good as the Gamo Spire points, it was still going about 7-8 inches into the cardboard (figure 5-6 layers of cardboard per inch?) My distance was about 30 feet and the gun was a Benji Trail. So the wonderful thing about this pellet from my test was that while the Spire Points and even some Hollow Points left little star shaped holes in the cardboard, this Predator Polymag left perfectly round holes as if I had used a drill on wood. I cant wait to get these out in the field and use them against the critters who fight me for my stuff.

Have not used the pellets on a critter yet, but I hate the tin. I just know I am going to dump a tin full of these expensive pellets all over the place.

These are surprisingly accurate and they hit hard. They hold together well in softer material (Parrafin) and expand significantly in something more dense (like wet phone book)

Not as accurate as domed and less penetration. For the price they are a waste to shoot at paper.

I shot them out of a Webley Patriot break barrel. I've used similar Gamo pellets (Break barrel .177) and these are much more accurate. I suspect that is because the poly tips in these fit snug and do not wobble in the pellet disrupting balance.

Hands down the best hunting pellet that I have used in my Marauder pistol. I expected to find some pellets in which the tip had separated from the lead, but in two full tins, they were all perfect.

They're a little pricey, but not crazy considering the 2-part construction.

In terms of accuracy from my Marauder pistol, I would give these 4 out of 5 stars.

Impressive looking pellet. Decent shot group at 50 yards.

Make it heavier by 12-14gr. To get the same hitting and penetration as the Eunjin at 50 yards. If this pellet was as heavy. It would be unbelievably hard hitting with a nasty wound channel.

Shot using an Airforce Talon SS fully charged to 3000psi. Verified 50 yard target. 70 degrees 60% humidity in daylight hours. Pellet did not penetrate 3/4" kiln dried pine at 50 yards. Did not penetrate 3/4" pine at 40 yards. Did penetrate partially at 30 yards. Did complete pass through with good damage on exit at 25 and 20yards. I use 3/4" pine 12" width cut to 3' length. Research tells me that a deer skull is about 3/16" at its thickest point. And a coyote skull is about the same.

Very nice pellet. pellet shape seems very uniform with little variation. All seem to fit the barrel the same

Only price- very nice pellet- a little expensive though

Great hunting pellet- Shoots well out of my Remington NPSS .22

My Stoeger X20 likes these over several others for consistency of hole shape and penatration.

Lower the price

They hold about a nickle size group at 30 yards, shooting off a bench rest. Off hand I can hold just over a quarter size group at 30 yards.

Nothing

They expand well on Tree Rats, so make sure what you are shooting. one shot one kill

great pellets with good stopping power

Clean, well formed, extreme penetration. The lead skirt is soft enough to take shape inside the guns breech for a good seal. The polymer tips are also well made and I haven't found one yet to be out of place.

Better tin with screw on lid

Works surprisingly well in my Marauder pistol and my 1322 loves them as well.

Hard hitting on small game

In accurate past 25 yds

VERY ACCURETE, MAKE CLEAN KILLS.

PRICE

THEY ARE HEAVY THEY DROP QUITE A BIT AFTER 50 YARDS

Great quality pellet with good energy at 75 feet, for Tree Rats.

Increase the count to 250 per can. Have a Sample Pack of 50 or 100 for testing.

Check the lenght so it will fit the Magazine, so you know they will work for your weapon.

When the pellet is not damage in any way these are problay the best hunting pellet you can buy. Nice polymag tip with soft lead pellet which makes them Expan real nice.. Explodes on contact, Loud pop!!!! About a 1/2 inch group at 40 yards. Loses accuracy over 40 yards. You will get a flyer here and there.

Again tin.. They should make a standard on a good tin. The best tin so far is on the JSB heavy fits nice and tight. These are way to loose. Nothing else needs changing on this pellets just make sure they are shipped in excellent condition.

I have already did a review on these pellets and was so upset with them being so damage I gaved them the worst rating possible. I wish I could take it back... First expression is everything. But I rather do this review and apologize for the last review. The first Tin i received was so bad I was pissed. But i bought another when I said I wasn't, I'm happy I did. Since i bought about 10 tins........You can't hunt without the right pellet and this are it. Sorry again for my first review. 10 STARS********** (Benjamin Marauder)

Accurate and deadly. I use both the .22 and .177 varities and finsd both you work very very well. Squirrels do not stand a chance when I am using these.

More per tin or a bit lower price. I can buy Gamo .177 Red Fires for a few bucks less per tin.
