Those .25 hades are great!I used a .30 slug on the first one out of a RTI P2. Then the rain got crazy so I swiftly returned to my house. While waiting for the rain to slow I was glassing the wood lot with my M3 .25 because it was sitting near the window for some long term testing. I decided to switch it back to pellets and when the rain slowed I slipped back over a zapped the other two with a .25 Hades. No far shots. Nothing spectacular. I just didn’t like the direction a .30 slug would be headed if I had to shoot one without a tree or woodpile for a backstop. So pellets to the rescue.
Saw the neighbor this evening. Told him three went to squirrel heaven. He said two or three have been what he was seeing so hopefully no more problems. Didn’t even ask what I used. Thank goodness. That’s a tricky road to go down because I hate to lie but I also don’t want to do a lot of explaining.
Nice presentation. It may never win the "30 Yd Challenge" but looks quite handy as a Pest eliminator!Thanks Bob![]()
Wow! Thank you Kim. Very informative video.This is very true. One of the reasons I switched from benchrest to precision pistol is that ammo is almost completely irrelevant to target pistol accuracy. OTOH with benchrest ammo / barrel compatibility is critical and you go nuts testing lots of ammo - most of which is uncompetitive.
You can search and find tests of different pellets with air pistols clamped in a vice, and the accuracy differences are mostly in the X-ring. This testing may help if you need convincing:
Unless you shoot in major competitions RWS Basic or similar are fine. I use these in my FWB P44, and the combination is more accurate than I'll ever be (and also works well at 20yd, FWIW).
I second Neal Stepp / ISS for pellets, guns, and parts: http://www.iss-internationalshootersservice.com/
Neal is better to work with by phone than email
So to get back on topic I use the < 4500 tanks to tether or do partial fills on guns that will take it. The regulated guns are happy to run anything above final regulator, and the scuba tank does nicely for the pcp crosman conversions that I run near co2 vapor pressure.That's awesome!
Yes, makes sense to be rated lower as size increased in diameter.
I've seen some using off center points of aim, like putting the bull in the corner, and I scratch my head and wonder why? That may be the answer.German rifle,German pellets. That's my theory anyways lol. I like the Hawke AMX too. I go with their 2-7X32 model. I think the eye-box is a little tight,but oh well. It makes me pay attention to my head or eye position. I have a 3-9X40 Hawke AMX on my B-46 (it's a big air rifle). I like it but the 2-7X32 suits me and the air rifles ( HW50s & R9 ) better. Ya got a couple nice groups there. I use a black Paint marker to add a center dot to my pasters

I dont blame you, I stand behind my work and got the same nonsense. They can have broken guns and i will buy them up on ebay instead.
What pellets does it like? Mine likes the HadiesI've got the 25 version and just put on a 7L carbon fiber bottle and regulator. It's my favorite new bench rifle as loaded with moderator, scope, and bipod it's 10 plus pounds. Regulator set at 2400 psi and i get about 55 shots before falling off the reg. Great rifle!
