Okay I finally was able to get some JSB Hades pellets in .177 here in the Netherlands, which was more for my amusement than anything, but also preps for the Autumn/Winter hunts in Idaho (praying can happen).
I know and know there has been countless posts / videos on the Hades, but that still doesn’t make up for seeing things first hand.
I shot the Hades out of my Brocock Compatto into some clay at low, mid/high and high power. Well I have one word!!!...impressed!!! I can see what the JSB meant to do, make a pellet designed to catch and grab, cut along with providing a good energy dump upon impact on to the target. Plus the Hades is the 12 plus ft/lbs in the Compatto at the sub-12 foot pound setting and it is the only pellet that I have shot in the gun, which so far is around 10 that has done that.
Once I get the Crown Continuum I will try the Hades and see how they are, and expansion on the tests at different power settings.
Lastly, again none of this is new just my first hands thoughts and impressions.
Now to get to ready for bed...I am off on an extreme road trip to Austria for a week excited to get back the mountains AND have a goal to average a 100 mph / 160 kph the way there on through Germany Autohban.
(And no, a 100 mph doesn’t seem that fast anymore and doesn’t as long as you have the car and roads handle the speed, plus being observant as hell for the actions of other drivers.)
