    Thank you Mrs AAR for showing the gel pack, and for Mr AAR thanks again in showing these results, my grandson aged 24 finally got it!! now l know grandad, he said to Mr Grumpy. Have watched this video a couple of times and it has helped a lot. Grandsons new air rifle will be FAC, if he gets the ticket, its not for the killing power, not much at all to 12ld , its the range that is required, he lives in the wilderness, no trees, Isle of Lewis, crows seem to know of the distance, 50 yards plus,rabbits are the same, but not the rats!! Kill the game cleanly, no suffering . There's not a lot of cover to be had, the old gilly suit comes in handy, when lying down.

    This was a excellent video, instructive on the home made gel part (I love it) and a honest evaluation of the pellets. I love the end part however! on Real Hollywood guns and testosterone vs Air Guns:) which leads me too, I have been shooting all my life real (Gun powered rifles and pistols) and Air rifles. In case someone doubts, I am a 21+ year retired veteran Navy, Naval reserve and 17+ Active in the army, culminating in (7 Combat tours) and hundreds of hours on many different types of shooting and firing ranges. everything from .177 air gun up to a 50mm artillery cannon (My favorite by far the old Browning .50 caliber machine gun) OK to the point! I need to say again any projectile travailing over 500 to 600 feet per second in .177 caliber or greater can kill. even lower velocities will kill. Without exception any thing in the .22 Caliber size traveling at 900 feet per second or greater you do not want to be in front of without at least a 1/4 inch hardened plate steel sheet and a 2 foot thick hay bale wrapped in 15 layers of fabric behind that, to hide behind, the sheet of steel to stop or deform the bullet and the hay bail and fabric to disperse and redirect the energy or the projectile. Even than make sure your will is in order. (NOTE I do not recommend anyone trying this with a live target behind it, and anyone or one's who do, does it at their or trier's risk of life and limb). I have been witness to a person shot at 25 feet away with a standard .22 caliber round travailing at 1100 Feet per second, the led projectile bounced 6 times through their body starting at their left thigh and exiting their left shoulder after bouncing off the clavicle, it severed their spinal cord paralyzing them from the neck down and destroyed both their kiddies, which in turn they have to have weekly dialogues treatments. this was an accident were his brother fail down the stairs with a loaded .22 cal hunting rifle (Rug___ 10/22) it went off at 25 feet away. Please don't ever think even a Air Gun is a Toy (They Demand Caution, Safety and Respect, (Never load a weapon or place your finger on the trigger unless you intend to shoot something) Andy thank you for the great video

      when i shoot my 40 joule (around 30 ftp) airgun at 40 meters with hard copper ammo at a 3mm stainless steel (slightliy harder than common s235 steel, pretty much everything is made of) plat, it leaves a 1 mm deep mark and bends the plate over time. A couple of mm are enough to stop it. a human skull might not. I even treat softairs like real guns, because even that is enough energy to destroy an eye.

    Proof that with a 12ft/lb .22 rifle, accuracy is paramount.
    Sure... Whack up the power, and projectile deformation becomes a factor.
    I use my .22 Huntsman Classic exclusively for hunting, and this video has been very, very useful. (I'll stick with DS Sovereign's.)
    I look forward to the .177 results.

  • @peterbaugh51

    Great video, thank you. For 1377 owners, my best hunting pellet is jsb exact express with rws superdome a very close second at less than 1/2 the price. The rws is heaver, but flies the same as jsb. A dime group at 20 yards is the best my gun gets, and 25 yards is a rewarding shot for this little gun. Stock and 3-9x 40mm AO Tasco scope added makes for a fun cheap gun.

    Still using my air arms diablos from 15 years ago ( creating a family got in the way of shooting) now my sons are getting old enough to introduce to shooting, my old pcp's and springers are back out, as well as me considering that maybe they need a gun to suit themselves (a full length falcon sporter single shot is the one they can use easiest, but there are other, better options for backyard plinking) I was worried that my local dealer didn't list the air arms pellets that I spent thousands of pellets narrowing down to being the best for my rifles, glad to see the jsb's will be a suitable replacement when I turn out to grab more pellets. For me, consistent accuracy was always the most important thing for hunting, if you can put that pellet where it's intended, it's going to do the job. 15 years ago, .177 was a bit controversial from the old guard for hunting, but a .177 pcp just below 12ftlb's is just easier to be accurate with at any distance out to 45 yards, at least in my experience and with the airguns I used.

  • @st1nky-b1k3r
    @st1nky-b1k3r ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Great review it was nice to see Mrs AAR too. I was quite shocked at how poor some of the pellets performed at sub 12lbs. I've just got a new permission and was looking for some hunter pellets for rat control but going on this, I think I'll just stick to the new pellets I use and was surprised how well they shot. I gave them a go just because they were pretty cheap, not the done thing normally using cheaper pellets. These were H&N EXCITE HAMMER 22 cal. With these in my Weihrauch HW95K springer rifle (we all know how the gun choses the pellet) they performed really well on paper at around 35 metres. Giving just over 5 pence piece grouping. I ordered 10 tins as soon as I shot the first tester tin full. Maybe it would be informative to pick an aray of cheaper to cheapest pellets around and test those. Maybe some shoot better than the more expensive ones or will give the newer people to shooting a good lesson in why not to buy cheap pellets. keep these reviews coming they're really great and help quite a few people myself included when choosing rifles and different products. Thank you.

    I tested the following pellets with my Diana 54 Airking .22 with Hawk Airmax 3-9x40 AMX at 25 and 45 meters and the best for me was the JSB Exact Diabolo with about 2cm group. Most of them were hole in hole. I evaluate them with a scale from 1 to 10.
    25 meters.
    Sniper Magnum. 10 (insanly accurate).
    Hornet. 9
    Baracuda Hunter Extreme. 7
    Silver Point. 6
    Baracuda Hunter. 7
    Baracuda Match. 10
    Hades. 6
    JSB Exact Diabolo. 9+
    45 meters.
    Sniper Magnum. 6
    Hornet. 8
    Baracuda Hunter Extreme. 6
    Silver Point. 6
    Baracuda Hunter. 5
    Baracuda Match. 9
    Hades. 5
    JSB Exact Diabolo. 9+
    The JSB Diabolo Exact has no difference at all from 25 to 45 meters accuracy, they shoot exactly the same keeping constant tight group even with some air blowing. Considering also the price because i wanted to buy many thousands of pellets i found JSB Exact Diabolo were the best for me. Also i tried some Superdomes which were just a joke. I loved Sniper Magnums at 25 meters but they disapoint me at 45. I wanted a pellet that would hit a nice group to all distancies from 25 to 45-50 meters. Next test will be from 50 to 100 meters i hope anytime soon.

    For the most part... Everything works to kill rabbits, mice and rats.
    Shot placement is key and accuracy. So use a pellet that is accurate out of your rifle.

    I use the JSB Exact Jumbo in a 12 ft lb rifle with no scope and they are very accurate, but they do over penetrate, always leave an exit wound in mice and rats. I prefer them to leave exit wounds and come out the back because I feed my targets to my cats. So I guess they are good for that, maybe not good if you want expansion and stopping in the target. I used to use Bisley pest control, but I found domed pellets to be more accurate, especially without scope.

    I just bought a .22 air rifle a week or 2 ago. I thought it was me or the rifle becausey shots where sometimes 5cm/2inches in distance from each other at only 12,5m or 13,7 yards (not a lot of space at home). Then I bought the H&N baracuda match and my shots where instantly more accurate and consistent groups within 1cm of each other at the same distance. I'm so happy to have dound your channel so I wouldn't give up on the rifle or myself. Pellet type and brand really do matter immensly!

    Over the years I've shot a number of calibers (mostly hunting loads) at a wide variety of materials and it has been infomative.
    Just two examples; a .22 hornet round will go clean through a 3/16" (nearly 5mm) plow blade at 50m.
    A 200gn soft point .358 cal bullet travelling at 2700fps will pass straight through 12" of white gum (eucalyptus, "hard as the hobs of hell") tree at 100m.
    A .375 300gn Nosler Partition at the same velocity will thread a 15" gum tree (and punish the shooter).

    @ElfinNutria 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Possibly a stupid comment, but while ballistics gel is a good analogue for flesh, it doesn't simulate the skull of the quarry you're shooting at. I would have thought it'd be possible that a lot of the pellets that initially dumped a lot of energy into the gel would probably use that energy to get through the bone and result in (substantially?) more deformation even in sub 12ft/lbs rifles. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong but I definitely think it's worth considering. Would also be interested in seeing H&N Hornets tested :-)

    • @prophy4736
      @prophy4736 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    • @kurt5079
      @kurt5079 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@ford9339 Gamo do make some reasonably decent budget, entry level rifles that can do the job (like the big cat). I am not knocking them as they have a place.
      However they can not by any means be recommended as the best. The more premium rifles do out class them in every regard although you are going to pay significantly more.
      A weihrauch HW95 for example is going to provide much better build quality, accuracy and trigger. But if prices are similar in the US the conversation rate puts them at about 585 dollars or £450.
      If you are on a tight budget the gamo will give a lot of bang for your buck and is very usable. Although you may want to replace the scope when you can for distances over 15-20 meters. If you have a bit more to spend though you will really see the difference with some of the premium rifles.
      Just a few thoughts for any new shooters who may see this. No offence intended. All the best.

    Thanks for this shock inspiring ending to the video, it will encourage me to be a little more scientific or as my wife would put it, become a somewhat distructive adolescent child.

    I've noticed on TH-cam some individuals will shoot three to five shots between groups to make sure each pellet adjusts to the barrel for more uniform group consistency. This could account for the wider groups of the hunters and the extreme 's not performing well in this instance. The JSB Diablo's and the Hadies have basically the same skirts and molds except for the tip which may account for the tightest first groups performances. I am not a professional shooter but have been educating myself in order to make the best selections.

    great video as always. the next thing to see is : do the pellets expand at distance, or :what is the minimum footpounds needed for expansion. because when you fire a 40 ftlbs gun, at the end of the trajectory it's the remaining ftlbs that have to do the job of expansion.

    The 30 odd years ago i used to shoot sub 12ft pound air rifle , we found flat target pellets very good for close range

  • @CHATMIMO
    @CHATMIMO 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Manufacturers are focused on mass production for USA market. Zinc and other additives are added to facilitate moulding , reduce in transit skirt deformation etc. For sub 12 ft lbs, expansion would occur if a market specific , pure , soft lead were to be used making the pellets more ductile at lower velocities and ballistic coefficients.

    Great stuff again Andy, I use the JSB Hades through my Air Arms S510 FAC at 33ft/lbs and while it punches straight through most game I shoot, any pellets I have recovered look like the one you have on your FAC board ! Well done to Mrs AAR for the cooking lesson.

    • @johnballantyne6853
      @johnballantyne6853 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Definitely. I tested 24 different pellets for groups, from 20-50 yds, before settling on the AA 16gn as most accurate, second best were Bisley Magnum 21.14gn !! but once the Hades came on the scene I found they shot as good as either of the other two but had better knockdown. Some pellets, H&N Hunter and extreme & RWS just wouldn't group inside a coffee Mug at 40 yds.

    • @johnballantyne6853
      @johnballantyne6853 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      ALAN BRAY For accuracy in my rifle they were Alan, but there was nothing to chose between the 16gn and the heavier Bisleys, basically pellet on pellet. I guess you’ll need to try some different ones to find out. They’ll all kill at normal ranges, but you’ve got to hit them in the right place👍🏼

    Anything but Gamo™Rockets 22.cal
    I bought a 100ct tin & have repeated defects. Things like the BB tip dislodging, pellets not flattening, pellets bouncing off old carpet used as backstop, etc.
    These are hunting pellets with advertised "increased penetration" for use with most small game + target competition.

    Hi Folks......first off, brilliant video! Pretty much all the information that I was looking for about best possible pellets for hunting. I'm going to go with Andy here and say that I think that the JSB Hades pellet are fantastic! Accuracy and enough deformation to really deliver powerful energy transfer to your quarry. Was using the JSB Diablos and found a lot of shots going straight through your quarry, making it more of a less humane kill allowing your quarry to scurry, or fly away at least for a while before the the damage kicks in. (Makes some animals a bitch to find!) Anyway that's my ten cents worth!.......Keep up the good work, hope you and the Mrs are staying safe, loving your work!

    I used RWS super mag (flat heads) with a little extra weight, perfect in a sub 12 because it is blunt force trauma, simple! If my old vids under "snypercat" are still on yt you don't see any messing, they are out!

    @Jaden48108 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I shoot a .25 caliber Air Force Condor with 26 gr. polymags . . . estimated energy is over 65 foot pounds and they expand like no one's business. Accuracy is quite good but the power is something to behold. I had no trouble shooting through both sides of a metal 55 gallon barrel . . . my point being some pellets like the polymags need the extra speed for accuracy.

    Hi Andy, thanks for a great informative video. The only type of pellet you didnt test is a wadcutter, i know they are supposed to be for target/ competition shooting but would be really interesting to see what sort of penetraition you get with them in the ballistic gell. I suspect that they would probably be more accurate with sub12 rather than 40ftlb as they are designed for less powerfull guns.

  • @alanob99

    Great new video, really enjoyed it! Do thank the Misses for the comprehensive tutorial on how to make the cheap ballistic gel. Will try to do some tests with a 28 ftp breakbarrel this spring, but I do expect my Hades pellets to expand very little if at all.... No great loss though, hunting with air rifles in Holland is an absolute no-no anyway. Looking forward to your .177 test. Thanks!!
