Anyone tested the new PDG line of pellets from Airgun Depot?

These look interesting if they shoot well...  http://www.airgundepot.com/ammunition.html

[jeff76]

might have to try a few of them.  glad to see predator is expanding their line of pellets

PDG = Pretty "dang" Good. Ha ha

All of the .22 pellets are heavier than anything I would use in my springers.  Otherwise, the price is competitive.

Order placed yesterday for some .177 & .22.
VERY interested in seeing how these perform.
Reviews coming soon.

SAFE & Happy Shooting!!!!

Thanks Dez.   A 9g in .177 dome is a pretty neat size.  Really hope they work out for you.

I noticed the posted price was for tins of 250, which in .177 puts PDG pricing with JSB. And since they are from the Polymag folks, I also wondered if they are lead.
When I posted this the first time, it looked like my O M G got auto-transposed to "gracious".  A little auto-editing going on?  gracious!

[Bullit]

mobilemail,   Pricing for the .177 tin is for 500.  The .22 is for 250. Check the link.

Thanks for the correction, I'll take a second look.

I'd give the 9 gr and 18 gr HP's a shot; they look very similar to Crow Mags for a few dollars per tin less.

If they expanded reliably, an 18 gr HP at 600 fps should be quite devastating for small game under 30 yards.

Wish they had some in .20

Looking forward to a full report.

They cost more than Crosman and the 22 cal cost almost the same as JSBs.

Those destroyers look awesome, but dang are they heavy!

Really wonder how they would perform at 30 ftlb.....

[mobilemail]

Speaking of heavy, did you see they are also carrying a .177 JSB "Beast"?  16gr!!!  Put that in your PCP and smoke it!  They were only $10/tin, introductory pricing I assume.

Just tried them. They may have potential. I'll try swapping some springs.

The tin is bell shaped. The base is flared quite a bit. This could help prevent some spilling. The lid is a simple push on, pull off.
Out of the tin after a couple dozen shots, my finger was quite dirty. Not as bad as Crosman, but what is. A washing is in order.
Billed as 9 grain, 10 random weights were 5 at 9.88, 3 at 9.86, 1 at 9.82 and 1 at 9.76. So for the most part this sample was fairly consistent.
The seemed to fit well and no obvious deformed pellets were seen. These can't be pure lead as I could not crush a skirt with my fingers. If accurate you could just toss a handful in a pocket and go hunting.

Thank you, sounds interesting.

What rifle were you shooting them out of, and what velocity?

[ancient1one]

Are the head sizes listed? PA does a great job listing head sizes.

AGD if your reading this you guys should list pellet head sizes for all .177 and .22 caliber pellets.

I didn't run the chrony. My 95 is the only one currently set up for heavies. My last chrony averaged 785 with JSB Heavies for a little over 14 fpe. I'm going to pull the OS kit from my 34 and give them a test in it. I'll run both through the chrony.
