hello everyone, I got my tin of the new Hades Monsters in 22 cal a little while ago and just got to test them out today. ill just cut to the chase and spare you all the boring details and all that. in my Avenger bull pup shooting at about 890 FPS, at 45 yards they are more than capable of keeping 10 shots within half an inch. pretty decent right? well, move the target out to 77 yards and WOAH! groups opend up to 4.5 inches. to be fair, I didn't expect much better, but I really would have liked better than that. maybe they want to be moving slower, or faster, who knows. I also shot a group at the same distance with the 22 cal JSB 25.39 grain pellets, 7 shot group was 1.5 inches, with 6 of those 7 being within an inch, and 3 of them in the same hole. something to keep in mind, my tin of the Hades Monsters was badly damaged in transit, most of the pellets have imperfect skirts, I did cherry pick the pellets for that group, but even then most of them were still not as nice looking as the normal JSB 25.39gr. hopefully over time this will be resolved, maybe its a weight distribution issue, or maybe just the skirts being bent up. I will possibly test slower speeds, but my hopes are not high, I didn't see any pellet stacking to indicate that they're going to fast, and from what I could see thru the scope (which wasn't much to be fair) the pellets looked to be stable, no flashing or anything like that in flight. have you guys tested these out yet? if so, are your findings similar to mine? just to be clear, I am in no way bashing or hating on these new pellets at all. I love JSB pellets, and I love the Hades pellets, if anything im sharing my lack luster accuracy data because I really like JSB and really want these new pellets to work for them.
