“Ultimate .177 destruction- at a price”
Written on: 01/07/2012 by Kimm742 (56 reviews written)
I just had to try these. Who wouldn't want to try a pellet that looked like every rocket or spaceship they had drawn as a boy? And then there's the manufacturer's claims- "match grade accuracy", "incomparable penetration and expansion", and "superior take-down punch". And when that maker is JSB, the pellet maestros in the Czech Republic, you sit up and take note. First point of note- they're not easy to find.Ended up getting them on E-bay from a dealer in Portugal (though to be fair it was a... (read more)

Written on: 26/09/2009 by stevenw (2 reviews written)
I'm shooting a RWS 48 in .22 cal with a RWS 3-9 scope. I've found these JSB Predator Pellets to shoot tighter groups more consistently than any other pellet I've tried, including RWS hollow points and RWS super domes. The only problem I have with them is the unreal price. A recent visit to Gander Mountain had them charging $21.00 for a 200 round tin--just insane. As a result I have a hard time recommending them over my next most accurate pellet, the RWS hollow point--nearly as... (read more)

okay so im online looking for some cool pellets.....i come across the predators and im like a little kid in a sweet shop. i thought they were expensive however the shape and picture of them sold me. I get them and find them crap. reasonably accurate i suppose and good for game kills however ridiculously over priced and come in packs of 250.....SHOCKING....If u want the best pellets stick with accupell....I guaranteed that there isn't a single decent air gunner that would not recommend them..

JSB Predator Pellets is the single best pellet for hunting on the market! (besides the price) I have taken out crows at 50+ yards (150+ft) with my 1000fps rifle .177cal, and raccoons messing with my dogs at about 30yds (90ft), all with one well placed shot!

Been wanting to try JSB Predator Pellets for a long time, but didn't due to the price. I finally ordered 4 tins from Pyramid Air because you buy 3 and the fourth tin is free. I pulled out the Crosman 2100 pumper and set a target at 20 yards to sight in. I didn't have to touch the scope. It was perfect from shooting GAMO MAGNUMS. I had groups slightly smaller than a dime@20 yards. They were devastating on two black crows. They dropped instantly from 25 yards. Thats quite a task even... (read more)

I have tried the gamo rocket (one of my favorites), hunter, mag, raptor (junk), crossman hollow point ( fly great hit hard) and by far the predtor polymag smokes them all.
my groups are amazing with them and i know they will kill what ever they hit with a good shot.
besides the price i thanks these pellets are perfect for hunting.
buy these for hunting and the crossman premier hollow for target since they fly the exact same. that way you save alot of money and can still hunt with the best.

This is a very nice pellet. All the things I have read here and other places are true so I will not repeat it. The real problem is the cost! If your gun is a springer is a joke and will not stop/drop things with anything else, then buy these. I have a whimp B3-4 shooting at 450 FPS & a Walther Falcon shooting at 1,000 and both will shoot the crossman premiiers throgh a donut hole over and over again at 50 yards. Both will also take down a tree rat with the crossman. For bigger prey then the... (read more)

YOU got to try them!!! you will be happy you did. This is a great pellet, the pellet expands on impact because of its hollow head but also has a polymag tip that is very hard that acts like a needle and keeps going after impact, this pellet also does not over penetrate as often as other pellets especially lead free pellets like the raptors. Also these pellets seme to have a flater trajectory at up to 40 yards than other lead pellets. I have a gamo Big Cat and at 30 yards i cat get groupings... (read more)

I have just recentley bought a Crossman Seirra pro, shoots pellets at 1000 fps, So I got my target zeroed in at 40 yards! Even at that range the rifle still had 1.2 IN. groupings. After that, I went coyote hunting. It may sound inhumane, but I called a coyote in with my foxpro, and according to my range finder he was about 22 yards away. I was in a tree stand, I shot him right behind the ear. Dropped him on the spot! He weighed in at 36 pounds. Great pellets. (read more)

Tried these pellets along with my shooting partner. Have found them to be slightly inaccurate out of my Air Arms TX200 MK3 (Still accurate but not when compared to Accupell which give as close to same hole accuracy as I can get out of a springer).

Written on: 24/02/2008
Very well made JSB pellet that certainly does expand as claimed and lethal on small game. They dont feed in magazine fed PCP's and become unstable at beyond about 35-40yds. Flight is greatly effected by the least amount of wind especially in 12ft/lb guns.
Dont shoot at all in Rapids,..they hate em! BSA barrels seem to like them to 40yds.

I disagree with this review because... You are correct they do not seem to feed into a magazine, but as single shot they are right on deadly. I find them to be of the same weight as other lead pellets and more accurate than any of them at any distance.

These pellets are amazing! I have a Beeman 1041 and with these at 20 yards I can shoot a 0.15 (5 shot) group every time. I have not hunted with them yet but they will easily go through both side of a thick metal soup can. (none of my other pellets would do that out of my gun)
They are very well made. Which is why they're so expensive. Definetely worth every penny spent.

Written on: 24/12/2007 by aeroman55 (2 reviews written)
I shoot these through my CF-X and have found better results with JSB predators than any other pellet. I was shooting 1/2 inch groups at 45 meters, and 1 inch groups and 65 meters. The pellets are much longer than average pellets, which allows them to have a more stable flight. While shooting squirels, I have not yet needed more than one shot. JSB definitely makes an excellent pellet in the predator, and its worthwhile to spend the money and see if they give you the same results. (read more)

These pellets shot very well out of my shadow 1000. I have only shot a few birds and 1 squirrel. All dropped without a twitch. This pellet seems to combine the best of both worlds. Penetration and expansion. The polymer tip provides a better ballistic coefficient than hollow points and also after aiding in initial penetration, initiates expansion inside game. A must for any small game hunter. (read more)

I shot these out of my Talon pcp .22 cal 16.5 grains at full power. Chrony at 850 fps about 26 foot pounds energy. Shot them into a water melon along with Beeman Kodiaks, Crosman Premiers, and H&N Barracudas. All pellets penetrated through and through except the Predators. A strange observation was juice and pulp shooting out retrograde from the entry holes after being shot by the Predators. I have photos of recovered pellets.

2 years ago I purchased a .22 cal BSA Superten Bull Barrel along with a tin of JSB Predators & a box each of 16 grain & 20.5 grain Logun Penetrators. In order to see what impact they have I took empty 1 gal steel paint cans filled with water, and set them up 90 feet away. Both Loguns would go through both sides of the can with ease (as do Kodiaks) whereas the JSB would penetrate one side only. I retrieved the tip and the flattened pellet from the water in the can to see a deep dent in the... (read more)

I bought these out of curiosity they cost a bit but I just had to try them the idea behind them is simple needle point accuracy and penetration with hollowpoint punch at a medium weight so a gave them some tests
PLINKING ON THE RANGE
after adjusting my scope for the difference in weight from my average pellets (accupells 7.9grs) I put about 50 rounds through various targets at various ranges 30/50 yards and to be fair the shots were pretty tight not as tight as the accupells but better than...

I know many pellets claim both penetration and expansion but this one delivers. It will get through the tough hide and still expand. I found this pellet grouped as well as Kodiak Extra Heavy (best pellet I have found for my Gamo 1250 .22 Cal) I did need to sight in specifically for this pellet because it is lighter that the Kodiaks. I suggest you do the same even it you use a similar weight pellet because of its strange shape. Once you do get this pellet hitting on target though it has some... (read more)

Resting my GH 950 or RWS 350 on a pillow in a window frame of my house and shooting a target in the yard, I can shoot a group where the hole touch each other using these pellets. Springers work best with as little holding as possible but these pellets are very accurate and amazing killers at least in .22, I haven't tried them .177 yet. They are expensive so they are better off saved for hunting, but these are the best hunting pellet I have tried. (read more)

Written on: 06/11/2007
When you start plinking hitting the target is fun, now you are hunting you challenge your self by taking the harder shot to the head to kill not wound.
<br/>And as with any shot if your not sure, don't take the shot.
<br/>So as Drew has said and he is so right practice, practice, practice and use a quality, but less expensive pellet.
<br/>Crosman Acupell will do the job nicely thank you.

Written on: 22/08/2008
I disagree with this review because... I shot all of the pellets Drew mentioned and found that the Predator was more accurate than all of them, by far and away. I agree with spending more time practising and honing your marksmanship, but when a kill shot is not made, the mushroom effect of these pellets makes sure the animal goes down so a kill can be made. These pellets are perfect for us with less skill.<br/>

Well It took 4 week for them to come, but i got them just before going to the land i shoot on (95 miles away) which was lucky.

I shoot a Powerline .177 1000fps break barrel rifle and I shoot a lot. I shoot a tin of 500 pellets every other day as a hobby. This has given me new respect for name brand and special order pellets.
I must say that after using most of the pellets offered in the "specialty" category for .177 rifles, these pellets mean business. Easy to sight in, quieter than the Raptor pellets(which claim to be 250 fps faster that ordinary pellets) and deadly. Using these pellets, to me, is the equivalent...

I bought these Predator pellets after reading about a hunter in Texas who has to shoot Armadillos on his property. Armadillos have really hard skin, and he had tried several types of pellets which basically gave the Armadillos a bad bruise. Then he tried the Predator pellets and has stuck with them ever since.
They are good-looking pellets, rather unique with a hard pointed red cone embedded into a hollow point pellet, so you get penetration and expansion.
