Just received JSB Hades will try them to day in my FX Crown . On reports these should be good . Will report back later on results

It will be interesting to see how they expand at differing energy levels vm.

[villaman 9,983]

At my zero range of 45 yards hades expanded really well and all the way out to 75 yards  .  Groups are fantastic probably bit tighter than my normal AA fields 18 gr an 16 gr ones .Can’t wait to see what they are like on rabbits

What medium did they expand in vm?  If you’re shooting 75 yards I assume they’re running at some speed. The question for most would be, are these going to have any advantage at 12ft lbs, or are they really designed to work at higher power levels?

Interested to hear more about these from real life experience!

Sub12 I don’t know at the moment but FAC in my crown , it’s running@ 32 ft/lbs 950 fps and hitting 18 mm chipboard , a normal dome head pellet would have started to blow the back of the board ,but these penetrated at 5 mm and completely flattened the pellet , causing a lot of damage in the 5mm depth

Looks promising then

I have a friend on another forum using them but they are not available for .25 yet although as soon as they are, I will be trying them.

That should be interesting also Phil. If they can live up to their name I can see them being in real demand.

Yes can’t wait for them specially after testing.22

If you hear anything on .25 Mitch, please let me know. I have been thinking about a .30 barrel kit for the Impact and at 80fpe should be an interesting setup. Something for the future I think.

Will do Phil

Might pay to wait on .30 ,  when the slug liners come in and we get a good supply of slugs , these should reach a lot higher ft/lbs in .25 and 700 mm barel

Exactly right Mitch, that is just what I was thinking.

Interesting Mitch, it sounds like a shorter range pellet but wonder how the accuracy is at fac level long distance. From what I saw there, I don't think I would bother with sub 12 as the spread is very little.
