Predator Metalmag .177

Phils Polymags are here

 

...... Cheers Phil

 

He's sent some regulars and shorts.

The .177 shorts were shit hot in my HW100 up to 40 yrds so, I'm looking forward to trying them in the GSX100.

 

I'll get it done over the next couple of days and put the results up.

Well done si, that rat must have come Up't North from my part of London for the day.

 

All the best

 

 

Safe to say I'm happy with the metals jon

Only shot a few rats last night ... first shot big fat one just rolled onto its side bout 25yard

Furthest shot of the night was 40yrd'ish off the stick with the 510 and it whacked it right between the eyes, it was in a rubble pile rife with them that I didn't fancy fishing about in

Nailed a fair few ferrels with them too, all I can say is watching them hit they cause some serious damage!!

Nice work Si,

 

That one's a big b*****d as well

 

Phil's put me some Polys in the post - I'm thinking about giving those a whirl on the rats.

 

got to admit most of them are big... think it must be steroid feed for the animals

there know where near as big as the seagulls up here that live on fish n chips and kebabs.. if only you could shoot them

 

was a bid dubious about using the 177 on the rats after using the 22 for months but these metals switch stuff off big time and they make a 22 whack when they hit,

my mate uses a 177 hw100 with super fields, they do the trick for him but these are something else!

 

only down side is lugging the 510 about and focusing the photon is a pain, it weighs a ton compared to the cat

 

cant see the polys and these being much different jon, think its just finding one that suits the barrel.. never had a fussy L/W barrel i think there spot on

 

cheers si

Here's some quick 5 shot groups for a bit of comparison - Metalmags first, then the regular Polymags, then Polymag shorts on the bottom.

 

The Polymag shorts gave a much tighter group - as good as my usual JSB Heavies at 30yrds.

 

I'm wondering if their shorter length means less drag while they're flying.

 

I may invest in more of these and do a bit more testing to see how the GSX100 likes them at longer ranges.

 

The grey target squares are 10mm.

Nothing wrong with those shorts Jon. If you are going to get some, look at Voymir as they are doing all of them at better prices than I have seen anywhere else so far.

Will do Phil - Cheers

 

It can only be a couple of mil' difference in the length but, the difference in accuracy is amazing

I found the shorts to be far better in my HW100. I can get them in .25 as well.................................................................

Do it mate

 

It's been a while since I watched any but, I'm sure I've seen some Yank YouTubers using them in .25 with awesome results

Why not Jon......why not.
