JSB Hades .22 5.50mm Tin of 500 Air Gun Pellets

Product Information

With 940 fps, I was astonished by the accuracy and stability of the Hades at 85 yards. At that speed, I achieved quarter-sized groups before putting them through starling and pigeon control. As for caliber, the pellets are for .22 cal, that’s 5.50 mm in diameter. The average diameter of the pellets tested by HAM was 5.50 mm and that was also the most common head diameter among the pellets measured. No pass-through was experienced when I took this same carbine against P-Dawgs and squirrels at 15 to 45 yards. The JSB Hades at .22 or .25 caliber delivers total terminal energy dump.

HAM Pellet Awards come from the most rigorous, professional and comprehensive pellet testing by any independent publication. They are the result of much precise measurement and analysis using high precision measuring devices and highly-experienced testers. H&N Field Target Trophy .22 pellets are a strong contender for the best .22 pellets for accuracy – UK and worldwide. At 14.66gr, these medium-weight domed pellets are engineered for precision and penetration. They boast an aerodynamic profile that guarantees a supremely flat trajectory for medium-range shooting. Using the standard HAM washing protocol, just 0.089 Grains of lead dust and junk was found per 100 pellets. JSB Hades 15.89 Grain .22 caliber pellets were in the tin tested by Hard Air Magazine. Just as claimed.The pellet is helpful as there’s no need to change your rifles zero after a shot. I could read a POI that was similar out to 45 yards as the JSB Heavy pellet. I found the Hade being the most effective, combined with my .22 caliber Wildcat Compact Mk II. My preferred air gunhas put thousands of these pellets through the motions for vermin control.

With this .22 caliber air rifle, I found myself exceeding muzzle velocities of 1,000 fps in full power. This airgun pellet is designed for upon-impact expansion, resulting in a devastating wound equal to the one-shot ethical kill. We can import and export Section 1, Section 2, Section 5, Air Rifles and Antiques & De-activated weapons.My hammer was turned down to a minimum setting so as to accommodate the Hades pellets and get decent groups. While I knew that speeds would be excessive, I managed six-shot groups ranging from .370 inches to .428 inches. From standard regulator settings, I got a ballistic coefficient value of 0.026. I recorded a consistent performance by shot-to-shot due to the flexible FPS.

Chances of a ricochet are significantly reduced when shooting with the Hades, due to the crumbling of the frangible pellet upon impact. These pellets also share equal weight capacities with another highly sought after pellet by JSB, the Exact Jumbo. In fact, 28% of the JSB Hades 15.89 Grain .22 caliber pellets measured had a length of 7.12 mm. The variation in length between the shortest and longest was just 1.55% – even including that pesky outlier.

However, it’s important to note that the variation between the lightest and heaviest pellets weighted for this HAM test review was just 5.41%. The manufacturer highlights the extreme expansion in the target as a key feature of these pellets. That’s also exactly true. In the UK, air rifles are classed as firearms. Because of this we are unable to use couriers such as Fed Ex, UPS etc to send the guns abroad, even if the gun requires no import paperwork in your country, which in a lot of cases they don’t, they must still be exported in the same way as a shotgun or a rifle and flown to an airport for you to collect. The only exceptions to this are customers in Mainland Europe. We can ship air rifles to these customers at a vastly reduced cost but only if they are UK Legal Limit I.E Sub 12 ft/lb rated. What HAM Pellet Awards do recognize is manufacturing consistency. Inconsistent pellets definitely will be inaccurate, consistent pellets are much more likely to be accurate. The shape of the Hades is based on the Exact Jumbo Heavy, with the design utterly similar up to the hollow point head.
