since the arrival of JSB Hades, they have been my go to hunting pellet in my Regal XL. they shoot as accurate as the 15.9s, and a little better than the 18s. however only on a few occasions have they expanded as intended. (full disclosure: i inspect the spent pellets only about 20% of the time)
i expended the last of my .22 Hades 3 weeks ago, so today i was hunting with H&N Hunters and wow, the damage done to this squirrel is massive. after traveling 19 yards it entered the squirrel on the left breaking it's arm, traveled across it's body breaking the spine and exiting the right side. this is only the second squirrel i've taken with the Hunters, but the first one last week was a real mess inside and the exit hole was huge. i wish now i'd taken pics of it too.
i'll post a separate write up on the hunt.
Edit: i do not have huge hands, the squirrels here are small.

Wow! Nice job, devastating for sure. I have the hunter pellets but they just don't group well enough @ my 25 yard station.

I suspected the Hades would expand like the Hunter extremes, which I know the Hunters beat every time. And now I know! Thanks Carl!

If it was easy it wouldn't be hunting it would be shopping.
