Predator is coming out with a “short” polymag this year. The new short is supposed to address magazine feeding issues.
The breech opening is 12.62 mm.
The mag thickness is 12.48mm.
The 22 cal Polymag is 10.22 mm long.
The 22 cal Metalmag is 10.83 mm long.
The Metalmags do penetrate deeper then Polys, great for thicker queries and I would say they have about the same accuracy as the Polys for me so far. Man, I can’t wait till the 25 cals come out !
I tried loading an entire mag with them but if you point the gun down some of the pellets slide down and can get jammed up a bit. So I’ve been single loading and manually advancing the mag to make them more manageable. Adding not more then two or three in concession, like this:

I have used them n mine but I have t hold the gun with the barrel upwhen indexing the mag and you better keep a eye on it or you’ll end up with a jam as the tips tend to want to get a little far forward.
ZAP!!! :angrymob:

They do work BUT you have to take your time and shoot from the house to carefully watch when you turn mag. Its a very close fit. I would not recommend them in the field. I am talking about the metal mags.

I am not too hopeful on that. Even though the Predators are made by JSB they don’t shoot like them
