Jonjon79 13,358 Posted December 21, 2016 Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 Give them a go mate. I'd advise targets at different ranges at first to make sure that they will actually hit what you aim at with consistency. If that's all good, I'd probably fire some at a dry piece of 2x4 to see what the penetration is like - again at different ranges. Then, if you're happy, use them An accurate .22 at that weight will be a stopper. You just need to learn what it does when it leaves the barrel. Atb 1 Quote Link to post

philpot 5,013 Posted December 21, 2016 Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 It will be interesting to see what sort of groups these produce at say 40+ MTS Phil Quote Link to post
moxy 617 Posted December 21, 2016 Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 What's your rapid running at? Quote Link to post
philpot 5,013 Posted December 22, 2016 Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 Just been looking at these and H&N do them but not sure if they are the same pellet or just their version. The down range energy on the video above is impressive and somewhat curious what they would be like in my 28ft/lb Rapid. Phil Quote Link to post
Snarepeg 28 Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 I would find them to heavy,even FAC. I use bisley mags 21 grain and that's as heavy I would go, mine doing 28 ft/lb. Shooting air arms 16 grain and they are fast/flat and accurate, with nightvision the flatter the better. John Quote Link to post
Rabid 1,936 Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 You need to be 40 plus for them to be very good, I use them, and they group well if you get enough oomph behind them. Quote Link to post
