.177 Hades

[JWilson]

Anybody test them yet? I have been playing with the Baracuda Hunters and find them pretty comparable to the JSB 10.34s out to 60 yards or so. Very interested to see what the .177 Hades will do. The expansion of the Baracuda Hunters is pretty good and definitely reduces the pass through energy compared to the JSB 10.34s, but the consistent accuracy goes to the JSBs... especially beyond 60 yards.

I’ll take accuracy over gimmick pellets every time

What vendor currently has JSB Hades .177 cal. for sale?

I’m going to have to second your experience, that is no gimmick pellet! The hunters are legit, even my mk1 wildcat loves them, and most original st barrels are jsb only lovers, LW barrels seem to really like them, but staying on topic, would sure like to test some 177 hades. I thought they would be here by now? But they better shoot good or the barracuda hunters will stay on top for me

Predator International says the Hades are here so should be available soon

I'd like to see how they stack up against the Piranhas

 

[JWilson]

I see they are now in stock at PA. Let the testing begin soon

Yup! I updated my thread below. Order in. Will not have till mid June I think, but will report asap.

Got some this morning from PA. I have had great results from the 22 and 25 cal. In fact those are dedicated pellets for two of the rifles I own.

I dont know about the 177 by my 22 cal hades are just as accurate as normal JSB out of dream tac compact

 

[Nihuggin]

I've been stalking the shops for them in .177. Looking forward to them

What I really want to see is real world results in accuracy and terminal performance between the 10.34 domes, 10.34 Baracuda Hunters and the Hades. I have some coming. I will tell you that for me , in my EdGun Lelya the Baracuda Hunter is a very solid performing hunting pellet. If I am plinking or shooting targets at a range the 10.34 Ed branded pellet wins for sure. Hunting with the .177 means sub 60 yards to me though... The Baracuda Hunter dumps all its energy and is on par accuracy wise at those ranges.

It would be great if the Hades extends the range AND dumps their energy at those ranges.

Shot into a sandwich bag full of water @ 30 yards. Muzzle velocity was 916. The pellet exited the bag and was captured in a bucket of foam. It expanded more than I thought it would. On to accuracy testing.

I can share that at my current tune my gun far prefers the 10.34 domes and the 10.34 Baracuda Hunters.
