http://hardairmagazine.com/news/details-new-umarex-havox-hunting-pellets/

check it out I think that they will be good for any small to medium sized game upto 25 yards

They were on display at Shot Show, I took a look at them when I was there 
From the ballistic jell test I saw they looked like they will do a lot of damage.
i think they come in a package of 25 and may retail for around 15 dollars 
They should be available in 177, 22 and 25 cal
hope this helps

Bit to expensive for me

 

[Dcorvino]

They are a bit pricy but will buy a tin to have. 
I won't be plinking with them

At sub 25 yards a good shot is deadly. Why limit yourself to a designer pellet that will probably suffer at longer distances, and costs exceed any rimfire.

Nonetheless, I have 4 tins on order when they do show up. 

I'm just looking for something as deadly at 65 yards, as a PolyMag is at 25 yards. We'll see!

They look cool but the price is ridiculous.

I was able to get some pretty good SHOT Show coverage of the Havox. You can check it out here;

I'm guessing you will be reviewing these asayc?

They have jumped into the black powder bullet pricing scheme. I will NOT pay a dollar a round for ANY bullet / ammo!!! I can cast projectiles in .25 for one penny each and projectiles in .457 for 10 cents each. The component cost just does not warrant that kind of price those manufacturers are demanding.

I don't think that is going to fly well enough to hunt with past 35 yards.. but it would be a killer on body shots on ground hogs when stalking.

I'll be interested to see how they work out for people.

I won't be buying a pellet that literally costs ten or twenty times as much as the pellets I buy now.

I was thinking groundhogs, raccoons & coyotes & head shots with those in .22 or .25? Interesting how they seemed to have channeled Shakespeare's Mark Anthony, " ...cry havoc! And let slip the dogs of war"...

yea thanks for the coverage steve. I think you nailed the most important stuff and made it easy for us.

I'm curious what the impact speeds need to be to get expansion like they show in the pictures. Hard to believe a copper pellet will expand like that when lead ones hardly do. I've never been mad enough at anything to spend over a dollar a pellet to shoot it !

I brought a expensive pack of 100 pellets and the got stuck in the gun don't know if it was the pellets or the gun.

Aren't projectiles like this forbidden in war by most countries? They are not forbidden in the war on pests.
joking aside, i hope they perform well. In which callibers are these going to be sold?
i hope in .25

,Niels

 

[Alan]

.177, .22, and .25. I'd almost bet the'll come in .30 soon.

For brain shots, exotic pellets aren't needed. A regular old dome will work fine. The expanding ones are for when you want to do a lot of damage on a chest shot, rather than just having a pass-through with a dome.

I suspect these won't shoot well out of most guns, and so the price will pretty much make them an immediate flop. (mark my words!) We'll get a lot of sponsored reviewers saying things like: "They're not match pellets, but on small game inside 25 yards, they're DEVASTATING."

 

[Goodtogo]

Well most of us will over spend on most things to do with our hobby? And I have who knows how many tins of different head sizes and weights of too many brands of pellets to count. And if these new pellets are the "best shooting pellets" ever made?(they are lighter than lead for the same size) Then we would have to try them for hunting. But at 60 cents a pellet it wont go for the average shooter or me for that matter .Makes you wonder how much it would cost you to test them at different ranges?

I will stick with drilling CPHP out with an 1/8 bit......I am cheap
