The Prometheus Hunting pellets are light and quite good. They are quite expensive as well. Compared to lead they are as accurate either over shorter distances - about 15 metres

i did a simple test with these (I use a cometa fenix 400 which loves crossman premiers/accupels) i had been shooting at various objects all day at differing ranges and decided that id my prometheus's a try. i shot at a 2 inch target from about 15 yards and the pellet hit at about 1 and a half inches BELOW said target. i then went back to ma crossmans and put one dead centre. they're not even CHEAP rubbish avoid like the plague

After using a large variety of lead pellets I one day noticed these rather deadly looking projectiles appear at my local gunsmiths and despite the rather off putting price of around £5 per 100 I decided I had to have them. On my next target shooting trip I eagerly snapped open the box and started using the new ammo, my first shot was a complete miss, and the second and so on but as I had the target on a large and luckily new board I could see that the shots hadn't just missed the point of ...

They look like the business but when using a weihrauch HW 1ooT I could not get less than an half an inch grouping at 20m. they were unpredictable as to where they would hit.

You have to give things a chance, compare the product to others in the same range.
And I'm sorry to say that I just cant get on with Prometheus pellets.
Maybe they don't suit the weapon I use (Cometa Fenix 400) or maybe they are just to light, but what ever the reason I just cant recommend these pellets to any one.

In the words of Monty Python, let us not go to Prometheus, it is a silly place!
These little blighters looked good when I was a kid as they looked a bit like "real bullets". In reality, they are in no way better than lead, suffer from over penetration (referring back to "looking good when I was a kid, trust me younger shooters, over penetration is not a good thing, your quarry will bolt and will be then left to die slowly from it's straight through wound, not a good thing) and are way more expe ...

I think the accuracy problem has something to do with the exposed front face of the plastic skirt. I find they tend to tumble far too often and when I have checked the face of them, the offset strike mark seems to bear that out. Quite honestly I don't think you can beat the consistency of the traditional lead pellet for target shooting or hunting, in particular the better quality one's like Crosman Accupell's AND they're cheaper.

I don't agree with what other people have said about Prometheus Hunting pellets - I have found them to be good given the tasks provided.
In particular, these pellets excel at close range pest control - such as shooting rats at anything less than about 30 yards.
I have found no problems with Prometheus Hunting pellets, other than the fact that they're expensive - and I'm not exactly sure why this is so.
Recommended for short range pest control purposes, but not so much for target work a ...

I found on the whole these Prometheus Hunting .22 pellets perform quite well until you try and use them on a windy day, unlike most pellets I have used they seemed to be blown all over the place. On a calm day they were OK but nothing really special (or maybe they just didn't suit my gun) my friend seemed to quite like them but never seemed to bag as many bunnies as I did using accupell. The reasons for his lack of quarry were a matter of much debate between us but he insisted the pellets were f ...

At 25 yards I could not achieve a grouping of less than 6 inches. Upon checking the barrel after firing about 25 the barrel was stinking with bits of plastic left inside.

Never again will I buy the Prometheus Hunting .22. Now I have to pay for my air rifle to be fixed and machined. I was doing some chronograph tests and accuracy tests, and when I fired the Prometheus Hunting .22 I noticed the accuracy was really bad at just ten meters, so when I shone a light down the barrel, I noticed some of the rifling chipped off near the crown. Now I have to pay to get it fixed. Do you think the people who make this rubbish will take responsibility? No I don't think so!

I bought some Prometheus Hunting .22, and I have found them accurate. Grouping was OK, and was about an extra 100fps faster than an ordinary lead Beeman Silver Bear 12.6 grn I compared them with, but as for penetration, I found the lead pellets were penetrating more than the Prometheus into a sheet of plywood. Tests were done at 20 meters. As for firing these through an expensive air rifle, I wouldn't recommend it, as I've heard from several people that they have damaged the barrel with plastic ...

I've used Prometheus Hunting pellets in my Saxby and Palmer Ensign rifle for years. They are accurate and consistent in this gun, and have no trouble dispatching rabbit, woodies or magpies at 30yds+ with a single head shot. I always liked the pellets being non-lead. Expensive - maybe, but if you make every shot count that doesn't matter that much, and anyway they are much cheaper then shotgun cartridges.

When I seen these Prometheus Hunting .22 pellets in my local gunshop I couldnt resist giving them a go, I am a complete sucker for novelties!
Prometheus Hunting have to be the lightest .22 calibre pellet I have ever used, they weigh in at 8.52 grains, which is lighter than a lot of .177s and due to its weight it does get blown about a hell of a lot by anything more than a moderate breeze. They look more like an unfired fullbore round than a pellet, the waist being made of plastic and the head m ...
