RWS Super-H-Point, Beeman Silver Bear, Beeman Crow Magnum, JSB Predator with red plastic tip for better aerodynamics and a shot glass-shaped vintage Vortek Lamprey hollowhead pellet. RWS Super-H-Point-14.3 to 14.5 grains The Super-H-Point looks thin and fragile. It should deform well at low velocity. Beeman Silver Bear-12.4 to 13.5 grains Made by Germany's H&N, the Silver Bear looks like a wadcutter with a hollow-point appliquÈ on the nose. I don't give it much chance of expanding unless it's driven at high velocity. Beeman Crow Magnum-18.3 to 18.5 grains Also made by H&N, the Crow Magnum has a history of good performance in the field. This lower-velocity test will be pushing it to the limit. The Crow Magnum is the current best of breed, with a good track record. JSB Predator-16.0 to 16.2 grains This is the newest design. An American creation produced by Bohumin in the Czech Republic, the Predator features a ballistic nylon tip for better aerodynamics and a huge hollow head for maximum performance. This test will determine how well it performs under realistic conditions. Vortek Lamprey-16.3 to 16.6 grains Aptly named for a predator, the Lamprey has been out of production for more than five years. It looks like a shotglass fired open-end first, and the results have been very impressive in the past. Though no longer available, I included it to show that properly designed hollow-point pellets really can expand at low velocity. JSB Predator on the left is losing its red plastic tip. Vortek Lamprey at right is starting to lean over and destabilize. The Test I shot each pellet into the soap bar with a standard 10 pumps in the test rifle. That's maximum for a 22SG, and gives velocity similar to what more powerful rifles can produce at 30 yards. Cont to pg3>>>>
