rick sayers 1 Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 Hi, I've ordered some promethious pellets, just been in the trading post and asked about them, apparently they have no direction and can score the barrel, is this true or is he just saying this so I will but lead pellets from him?? 1 Quote Link to post
secretagentmole 1,701 Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 Which ones? You have the original plastic skirted Prometheus, but then you have the newer Prometheus Defiants. The plastic skirted ones are generally regarded as highly as a pile of poo, the Defiants actually are actually a good pellet! Quote Link to post
andy97 209 Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 as above the plastic ones are shite at about 4=6 grain whizz all over and i more accurate with a catty the led ones pretty good like the penertrators or defients Quote Link to post
macker71165 5 Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 skenco make a simular pellet goes thru most things even stainless steel pan Quote Link to post
Craig83 52 Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 I used to use the OGIVE in my MK4 before I went FAC and they were brilliant. They were extremely accurate. Also the hydrostatic shock they caused was terrific. Not cheap competed to other well known brands but I never dropped a shot whilst out hunting. Quote Link to post

thursodog 353 Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 I used to use Defiants in.177 in my Titan pcp before some robbing bugger on here swapped me with an old knackered HW80 (GRR!!!) Back on the subject, they were extremely accurate and bagged us loads of bunnies. Cracking groups up to about 45 yards. Highly recommend them and very cheap! Regards Chris. Quote Link to post
