JSB Hades 15.89 Grain .22 Caliber Pellet Test Review

With its slight waits and long skirt, the Hades features a heavy head design. To promote extra mushrooming within the target, the JSB Hades head is split into three sections. In fact, 28% of the JSB Hades 15.89 Grain .22 caliber pellets measured had a length of 7.12 mm. The variation in length between the shortest and longest was just 1.55% – even including that pesky outlier.

JSB Hades 15.89 grain pellets are specially designed for hunting, delivering the impact of a hollow point while disintegrating upon impact. This prevents over-penetration and ensures maximum stopping power. I find the Hades suitable for Eurasian invasive dove body shots at long ranges. You can get ten shots at 60 yards, which causes the Hades to expand to 2-inch diameters with about two fliers.

As mentioned, these pellets are well made and 100% consistent in terms of their weight, but the head size of my pellets was quite small and they did feel a bit loose in all three barrels. But these days we’re seeing a blurring of the lines between a hunting pellet and target ammo, and JSB itself points out that the Hades isn’t just for hunting.Yes exactly .these would perform much better in .177 cal .faster speeds and more fragile construction equals more deformation on impact and more imparted energy into the quarry . I had seen how effective the JSB Hades was at delivering more dump energy and better expansion into a target. This improved the chances for a clean kill, more forgiving while being safer in case of an exit.
