Any .30 penetration pellets?

[SimpleGuy]

Its not that the normal full led pellets will not pass through the animals dont worry... If Ill buy a .30cal it will propably be a 60+ fpe rifle... I just want to know if there are any pellets that dont dump all the energy on impact like the hades or slugs do... With penetration pellet I mean a pellet with a hard pointy tip. I want a pellet that will go through anything with .30 just like Skenco hyper velocity does with my 0.22

Metal mags but I'm not sure if they come in .30

I think you getting this penetration thing all wrong,.........no penetrators after all at .30 cal ?

Wrong, as I just mentioned the JSB .30 is made of farely hard lead and penetrates beautifully.

Yes you are definitely underestimasting the penetration capabilities of standard pellets

It was a joke... It is obvious that every pellet in .30cal can penetrate good because of high fpe... Even though they dont have the shape of a Hornet.

The pointed shape of the hornet in reality does not penetrate better then a domed pellet,
the brass tip actually helps the expansion of what in reality is a hollowpoint pellet
A standard dome pellet will penetrate better then the hornet ever will,....the pointy thinghy is just a gimmick

That is not true my friend... Well... If you are talking on penetration in a soft target maybe it has less penetration... But if you want to penetrate a very hard target... The brass tip delivers all the energy in a very small area so it goes right through the hard surface... A normal soft pellet will expand on the hard surface and not penetrate as good... If you are talking about very high powers and diferent calibers this changes... Because there is no hornet pellet at .30+ caliber so you really cant shoot a hornet at more than like 50-60fpe... If you compare a hornet at 60fpe and a domed pellet at 100fpe of course the domed will penetrate better even at harder targets. With my .22 gamo swarm magnum whenever I have tried to shoot to metal with a variety of different pellets... The only ones that went through (not 1 but 2 layers of metal) where the hornets and skenco's... All the others couldnt even penetrate the first layer... I tried different jsb's at different weights, Baracudas, (even heavy slugs and piledrivers) They couldnt penetrate the hard metal... When I picked them up from the ground they where all fully deformed and the frontal part of the pellets were flat with a diemeter of a .35 or a .40... While on the other side the H&N hornet's brass tip was like slightly deformed and the skenco's (long range and hyper velocity's) tip had 0 deformation even though they went through 2 layers of very hard metal. All this at ±30fpe .22cal... Of course if you shoot a jsb .30cal at 80fpe it will easily penetrate these 2 layers of metal... Not because of the pellet's shape but from the very high fpe
