Thoughts on these ? Alot of guns don't like em ,why??are they the better pellet for hunting?and why did they stop at a low caliber I've heard the legends of the predator polymag 50 cal lol.
Umm, a .35 cal polymag si not low caliber lol. But also, you'd need a LOT of velocity to make them work correctly in higher calibers. In .177, .22 and .25 the tips separate while aiding in expansion almost like a slug. As you approach .30 and .35, expansion isn't as noticeable and you're better off just shooting slugs. Polymags have a relatively low BCThoughts on these ?

I have, without really rigorous testing, always seen these as gimmicks. Limited testing has shown WC to be equally or more effective on rats to 25yds. The only thing that gives me pause is that in a rather extensive collection of 0.20 springers, they are surprisingly accurate.
But in .177 and .22 they have never been leading in accuracy.
WC are definitely limited in range. I have not had a great experience in most of my guns with accuracy in the polymags. I have some target hangers that place a paper target in front of the backstop and usually find the little red penetrator has come off the hollow point after just passing through the paper. It took no real stress to dislodge it and I am skeptical that that is doing much for terminal performance. I think that the red point is sorta like paint on a fishing lure, there to catch the wallet.Aren't you limited to like 30yds with wadcutter though? I can shoot polymags accurately in little wind out to 70yds with the stoeger xm1 .25
My Taipan likes them too! 25 cal is great for attitude adjustment with pests.These were all shot with a .22 Polymag at 935fps. 30 to 70 yards. There is nothing gimmicky about them if you do your homework. To save some homework I’ll tell you a choked CZ will shoot them great in .22 and .25. I push their speed testing at 50 yards until the train goes off the tracks. Then I see if I can fine tune them at 75. Sometimes you can, sometimes you can’t.
