These are the Gamo .22 Rocket pellets mentioned elsewhere.
16.0 gr with a bronze ball set in the head.
Pellet at left was recovered from behind a wet and rotted 1/2" pine pallet board.
It expanded to a shade over .30 cal.
640 fps out of the Seneca Dragonfly pumper rifle at 15 yards.
These are a bit better expansion wise than the JSB predator, but not by much.
Very accurate in every .22 air rifle I've tried them in.
H&N Barracuda Match Heavy, 21.13 gr.
I haven't done a work-up on these yet.
They may have a bit of a trajectory due to their weight.
These need a bit of air pressure behind them for the driving bands to upset into the rifling.
Reasonable accuracy out of medium and high power .22 air rifles.
Originally designed for magnum springers of the 800 fps and better class.
They've enjoyed a bit of a resurgence with the current pcp craze.
Re-branded H&N magnum.
These may still be available in europe.
I'm not sure if there's any relation here to JSB, or not.
These were very accurate out of my .177 rifles, and the tins are empty.
These are 16.0 gr field points, and have good accuracy in most of my .22's.
The bolts close hard over them, as the heads engage the rifling.
These also seem to want a bit of velocity.
I have a bit more to dig through yet.
There is a Crosman re-brand of the JSB Predator called metal mags.
This version suffers from inflated pricing.
Finding the Predator version is a bit of money saving.
