?  I 'm confused.  Polymag & Predator is the same thing, no?  

My tins of .22 Predators says POLYMAG on them.  I got them a couple of months ago.  I know they didn't use to say that a while back.  It was a green/white tin then - now they 're black/red.  Are the Polymags new & improved Predators?

Harry, if there is any difference other than the tin I can't see it. Side by side they look the same to me.

I absolutely love predators.

I just wish they made them in .25...:(

cros detroyers are a similar design to the predators (w/o poly tip though) and deform very nicely on impact. Inexpensive and fairly accurate for me too.

I wish they made them in .45. That's be sweet out of my 909 Big Bore. Serious beaver medicine.

I'm extremely impressed with what I'm seeing and hearing about the predators. I need to get some. I have Crow Mags in .22 and .177. My B30 is sighted in for the .22 CMs. Haven't had the chance to sight in the R1 with the .177 CMs. I shoot it with CPHPs and they do the trick. Remember, the CPs are a harder alloy than other pellets, and as such, won't expand like softer pellets. That said, they shatter the skulls of squirrels like eggshells. At least, that's my experience with them.
Can't wait to shoot a squirrel with my .22 B30 and CMs. My .22 B40 is sighted in with RWS Superdomes, because it likes them. I want to try Predators in it.My Benji/Sheri 392 likes CMs, Kodiaks, and Eun Jins. I wonder how my B50 would like Predators?
I need to get another 1377 and tweak the heck out of it for pistol hunting. I have a rifled barrel off of a Crosman 760 that I want to put on my current 1377/1399 stock combo.

Good thing about the CPs is that, even though they don't expand, they've never failed me in the penetration department.

I bought a can of them at Dick's and I want to try them on squirrels with my R1. I may buy some more. Depends on how they perform. Need to mix up a gallon of water/sodium polyacrylate (absorbant out of diapers)  so I can have a good gel to shoot them into. That way I can test expansion.
