Great work in these three videos! I realised in this test that the first pellet would be going through fresh wood, but the following ones would be going through shattered wood. Also the edge between sticks would be much weaker than in the middle. I think some plywood, replaced between each shot would sort that issue.

Im choosing the most accurate i don't care about penetration or anything else!

Who else got the first 5 bars of duelling banjos in their heads as soon as he came on screen?! 😂😂

Nice job thank you

Should've used the predator polymags they'd have really blew your mind....

Pellet loses about 20J of energy in 30-40m distance if you shooting heavy pellets (29.39gr) with 290m/s and around 40-50m/s speed. You doing basically point blank shots.

15:18 small but important details :P

Great video 👍🏻 have you ever tried to fill a hollow point with mercury and close it with superglue

Great video buddy!! Checkout the few pellet test video I have. I'm doing another one on Monday. Testing 4 more different pellets. Gonna see if they go through metal target!! ruclips.net/p/PLcGyowb42gapJmO_3BIlCnxDW-lhhakI0

great video, Is that energy from the 22 pellet that you need to kill if you miss by a little bit with 177 you don't have a kill, because it's straight through and through where the shockwave of the energy off the 22 pellet will kill them.

Generally, slugs are more accurate at higher velocity (but not too far into the transonic region) and woukd also get better expansion at those higher velocity... However, at long ranges where the slug has slowed down, they woukd be about what you shot there so its still a valid ballistic test

Not a criticism because this was a grab and go test, but push the slugs up to the pellet's speeds and beyond, and that expansion opens right up.

Will you do this in .177

For metal and bone, there is a "threshold velocity" required to punch through, regardless of energy or momentum. Your heavier pellet was too slow to penetrate steel well.

Slick shooting and authentic review of the results! Thanks for your efforts SylvanShadow!

Next time do it please from a proper range , at least 25yrd best 35-40yrd with more powerful air rifle

Wish to see more serious distance from target , at least 30m best 50 to 60 meter/yards

Great video. I have an eagle claw full size. When I got it, I had an issue where the fill valve got stuck open and I had to send it back. They sent me a new one with no issue and I’ve loved shooting it. The 500cc tank is a bit of a pain to fill by hand tho, takes me about 20-30 minutes of continuous pumping from the bottom of green to full. I do get around 90 shots on low power, which is more than enough for me

Great video showing expansion of each projectile. I have an origin.22 with a budget IR scope for rat and gopher deleting. The barracuda hunter extreme gives me the best combination of accuracy and lethality. I use the h&n slug hp for the ground squirrels and raccoons because they get through their thicker coats better and the kill is more humane. Just got the fx hybrids to try and they’re not as accurate but I think it’s because of the lead burs around the hollow point. Going to run another mag through with ones I cleaned up because that expansion is insane.

good video which ones do you think is best for food getting duty? also which one is best in your opinion for larger game like bobcat, racoon, coyote etc? i would think on large game penetration trumps expansion? thanks for any insight God bless!

I would like to see a standard domed pellet for a control. One Huge advantage of a pellet os the low bc. I don't worry much about where they come down at maximum range, where slugs eill come down flatter, and could hurt someone, or something.

*It's simple as u throw a heavy rock vs light rock, which one do u think more hurts if a person throws at u.*

Hope you continue your videos. This is good content

Nice comparison

Great comparisons! I'm very interested in terminal ballistics of pellets. I'll keep getting caught up on your content 👍 I don't think over-penetration is an issue with most small game, as I think either round will pass right through. Pellet shape would probably have a bigger impact on terminal ballistics than weight. Try running a Predator against a lighter pellet. I'd imagine the Predator would be better suited for small boar, where a domed or HP pellet would be better for squirrels or rabbits (shot placement trumping all, of course).

Спасибо за труд, и отличный тест!

BTW, I subscribed. Keep going with applying science to your RUclips channel. I think you'll have a bright future, either in engineering, the mechanically oriented trades, or making money via RUclips.

I just wanted to say "excellent job young man!" I'm a spacecraft engineer with a master's degree in ME from Stanford. Your math was excellent, as was the fact that your first test, was essentially an apples to apples comparison, with respect to pellet energy. I didn't get a great look at the pellets, but I believe they had the same frontal shape, and the same cross sectional area. If I'm wrong about that, please let me know. If they do, that would make your first test, a very apples to apples comparison. I'm talking about the test before you increased the power of the pellet rifle. Your video is honestly far more informative than what I receive from watching major firearm RUclips testers. They typically don't employ much science in their videos, or any! You've clearly studied physics in high school, and perhaps college as well. I don't know your age. At age 48, most young adults look like high school kids to me! You must have done very well in your high school physics class, and perhaps college as well. To improve your explanation of results, you need to bring in drag force equations, and Newton's conservation of momentum. I'm not sure if they covered fluid drag force yet in your classes. For fluids, both gases and liquids, the drag force is proportional to V^2 (V for velocity), the cross sectional area, and a drag coefficient, which is based on the shape of the object, and the consistency of the fluid. So yes, a faster pellet, with a similar or identical cross sectional area, will experience a much higher drag force, than a slower pellet, because the drag force is proportional to V^2. The drag force is what stops a pellet from moving farther through a fluid. Your homemade gelatin block, will likely have a different drag force equation than fluids do. It's very possible the drag force could be proportional to velocity to a higher exponent than 2. If you're able to find the drag equation of your gelatin, via testing, you can employ Newton's conservation of momentum, to calculate exactly how far a given pellet will penetrate. However, given the fluid drag force equation, it should be very clear why a faster pellet won't penetrate as far as slower pellet with more momentum.

You earned a subscribe, i was curious whether to get the fx hybrid slugs or hades, but the hybrid slugs are far more expensive. Decided on the hades. When i first saw the picture on the tin it looked like it was one of those pointed hollow point hybrid pellets like terminators or destroyers but suprised to see they have 3 seperate cavities. Even more impressive the expansion looks exactly like a radiation symbol. Great content, wasn't dragged out, straight to the point and covered the results I've been looking for.

22 pellet slug VS Big raga (Jujutsu kaisen)

Great video....... Food for thought...............

Those FX hybrid slugs do they work in a Hatsan Bullboss?

My gratitude for having clean fingernails....so few understand this.

Better practise your finger game 😅

Rip to the Cucumbers and Tomatoes!

You should move out to 50yards no one shoots critters at 20 feet

Did you clean that barrel? Makes a lot of difference.

The .177 is a monster

Energy equals mass at the speed of light squared. Higher velocity increases mass and energy. You saw it. Einstein was correct. I always choose higher velocity ammo over slower heaver ammo. But hey, I'm only an expert marksman... Choose what works best for your guns.

very good video. However I suggest you do additional testing & evaluation on your slugs. First weigh the slug before and after shooting. Second compare the FPE of each lastly measure the diameter or expansion ratio. A more closely shot gel would also allow calcualtion of penetration. You might find the Hades diablo at 15 .xx grains at a faster velocity than the FX Hybrid 22 grain may pass more energy into the wound canal resulting in a faster kill. In any event GREAT VID!!

Do you often shoot game at that range?

Best review i saw on youtube, thanks a lot. Greetings from east europe

Very good video.

I would love to see the hadies verses the jumbo heavy wound channels in ballistic gel.

To you point… I was testing to see how many 5 gallon water jugs a .308 Air rifle would penetrate using cast RN 120 grn Slugs. There happened to be a couple of guys with a 6.5 G that wanted to try a follow-up shot to my air rifle. The end result illustrates how projectile design & velocity is affected by water.

Do these slugs do any damage to piston guns

great vid !

I did something similar using .308 and .223. I took two rounds with similar fpe but different velocities and looked at their TKO ratings. The .308 (reduced load) had a TKO of “10”. The .223 round (slightly reduced load) had a TKO of 5. TKO is basically a momentum score. Is shot both at a medium size game analog simulating bone & soft tissue. The results are interesting. I’m not sure the results match your test but take a look. ruclips.net/video/JMKyVkX1hAk/видео.htmlsi=y78ZMOJdqwlnfQ-x

Would be interesting to know the difference between the alloys used to make the pellets - as they're from two different manufacturers, chances are that they didn't use the same percentages of lead/antimony, so one pellet is possibly harder than the other.
