Tested JSB Predators in my S1k and CFX

[longislandhunter]

Finally got a chance the other day to test the predators in my .177 cal S1K and .177 cal CFX. Fired 10 shot groups at 25 yards from my shooting bench.  All I can say is.......AMAZING !!

The scope on the S1K was sighted in for Beeman Crow Magnums,,, the scope on the CFX was sighted in for the Superdomes.  Both guns shoot their respective "favorite" pellets excellent, giving me nice tight groups, so I had no intention of making any scope corrections for the predators as I'm very happy with the way those guns shoot.  

Well, wound up I didn't have to make any scope corrections for the predators as they shot absolutely phenominally out of both guns. Matter of fact the predators gave me bullseye hit and even tighter groups than the other pellets.  I was really psyched.  

Next I took out my .22 cal Black Shadow and 10 predator .22 pellets.  Set up a new target and started shooting.   The scope on this gun is set up for RWS Super Hollow Points.  By the 5th shot I  had a shredded hole right in the middle of the bullseye ring.  By shot # 10 that dead center hole was still the only mark on the target. Again the predators gave me tighter groups that the guns prior favorite pellet.  Seems the Black Shadow likes the predators as much as my .22 cal RWS 350.  

After I wiped down the guns and put them back in the gun safe I went online and ordered enough .177 and .22 cal predators to last me for this years small game season.

Jeff, those are some amazing results. LOL, I to have my scopes set on my .177 S1K and my two CFX's .22 and .177. Won't change them if I can help it..

Sounds like the Gamo's may like those JSP Predators. Where did you buy your JSB's at? I wonder if the still have a couple tins left so I can try em before I buy my years supply..

Thanks for your review.

Gene,
     
I got them at Pyramydair. I believe they currently have the .177 in stock and should be getting the .22's in stock soon.  Gotta tell ya Gene, I am really impressed with these pellets.  Not just the accuracy, but also impressed with how hard they hit the target.  I don't have a chrony, wish I did, but comparing the damage the predators did to my 3/4  inch plywood target backing as compared to my other pellets it was very evident how much harder they are hitting.

As I said, I am really impressed. I definetly would not shoot paper with those but one of the things that impressed me was that after you had your scope set, using your other favorite pellets and then shot the Predetors with no adjustment needed. WOW! When I change pellet brands shooting paper the POI is always different.

I surely will buy a couple tins of each to take with me when I go squirrel hunting..

Thanks Jeff
