Whatever happened to the Hades expansion tests at realistic hunting ranges (and in ballistic gel — water jugs are too "optimistic").

I really would like to see how much they expand...!

For me this is an important criteria to select the caliber of my next gun.

So I just received my order of the recently released .30 cal Hades pellets! I took them straight outside to test them with ballistic gel. I was using my Impact MK2 that I currently have set up for slugs max I was shooting the 44.75 gr pellets at 1024 FPS giving a muzzle energy of 104.2 FPE. I shot into the gel at 20 yards and this is what the recovered pellet looked like.

The smaller pellet is a Hades I recovered from the gel in .22 cal. The .30 expanded to .454”!


I shot 10 shots to get on target and then shot a 5 shot group at 55 yards and I’m sure I can tighten the groups up if I dropped the tune down a bit on speed! The group was 3/4”

I love the Hades pellets. I bought 24 tins of them a month ago when I got my 30 cal Impact.
