Bigboy! — Big dud?

For sure they are marketed by Senco.

Anything is possible, of course, but they are noting like the plastic pellets Skenco sells quality wise nor would they use the same machinery to make as the plastic/zinc ones.

If, however, you look closely at the ‘Preditor’ trade mark you’ll see it’s the same as on the Preditors we already know are made by JSB. If JSB isn’t in on it, I’d be expecting a letter from their lawyers on long paper……

I still think they’re JSB made, not that it really matters, the proof is in the group size not the maker. FWIW I suspect it’s the same as Kodiaks, Beeman doesn’t make ’em………

Actually, no I didn’t:
“As of now I think they are JSB, expensive, and worth a try. ”

You musta missed that part?

Funny how they didn’t work in your gun though, how much worse were thay? Do you think concerns about cost could have been a factor?

I’m all for cheap ammo, but there are times when performance is more important than cost.

Thanks, BH, that mirrors Mike’s experience. Two positive reviews in one day. By guys that actually shot them (or saw them shot).

Mike suggests that if they are ‘only as good’ as Kodiaks being 25% heavier, basically same as the Eu Jin but more accurate, they have “possibilities” (his word). IMO a better way to look at it. ‘Better than Eu Jins’, not ‘about as good as Kodiaks’.

Let’s remember, Kodiaks are ‘only’ five grains heavier than JSBs and nobody seems to question if that’s an advantage. It makes sense to me that if five grains more makes a more useful pellet at ‘full blast’, five more grains could as welll.

Not to mention a useful alternative when Kodiaks ‘dry up’ as they sometimes do. Unless, of course, the other guys catch on……

They seem to work just fine.

Lots of conflicting information out there, I gotta wonder how many ‘experts’ have actually shot them?

Well, I’m surely no expert, and while I haven’t personally shot them (my Condor is in pieces at present) I got some for some friends to try as well and watched Mike put out some very nice 1 hole groups at 25 yards (where we normally shoot). His opinion, based on only a handfull of groups so far, is “easily better than Eu Jins, maybe better than Kodiaks”. At least in his (stock) Condor.

Next time, longer ranges and hopefully more Condors to test.

As of now I think they are JSB, expensive, and worth a try.

They look like an oversized kodiak , I think they should wok pretty good, but what about the price?
