Title: 30 cal Hades out an FX Impact M3 questions.
Post by: abqjoe on August 08, 2022, 06:01:02 PM
So I just got my 30 cal FX Impact M3 in (700mm barrel). I also just got a bunch of Hades pellets in for it too and I have some questions for those in the know. This rig will be used for pesting.

1. What speed do these pellets seem to like most?

2. In your opinion based on experience, what is the max effective range for clean humane kills?

3. Would these Hades pellets be effective to use on coyote's or should I switch over to the FX Hybrid slugs?

Thanks for looking.

Might be a question better asked in the PCP/Darkside Gate. Shooters there with anything in .30 and shooting them
can likely give you some very good ideas.

Good idea, thanks.

Moderators, can you please move this thread to the PCP/Darkside Gate? Thanks.

I shoot my Maverick .30 as it came from the factory with 44.75 grain JSBs at 870 shoots pellet on pellet I’m going to try the Hades too it should be good for ground squirrels.

In case anyone else is curious as to the answers to these questions I've been able to answer most of them myself through testing over the last week or so. Within 50 yards I still retain laser beam accuracy with the 30 cal JSB Hades pushing them at 960fps. Dropped a coyote with a head shot at 45 yards no problem. I don't know what the max range is for a kill on a coyote because up until now I've only shot the one.

Down with yotes!
Those rascals have given my family a lot of trouble.

I don't want to nix them all, just the livestock, dog and cat eaters.

I have found that the Haydees shoot very accurately from my 25 caliber,  I don't have a 30 caliber.

BTW
I don't want to hijack your thread, so I started a thread on FX trigger feel.
Please have a look if you wouldn't mind.

Thanks

I live in Albuquerque NM and we are a mountainous desert out here and we have tons of coyotes. Albuquerque is surrounded by open desert which is filled with coyotes. Problem is, the coyotes move into the neighborhoods bordering the city and at night, they hunt dogs and cats and anything else they can easily get ahold of. This particular coyote moved into the backyard directly behind my neighbor. There is still one more, we'll see if it's still around.
