These are old now, 30 grains. I have two tins of them (300 in a tin) labelled Eley Wasp Magnum. They were originally bought to use in a Theoben Eliminator, but the Eliminator didn’t like them. I achieved reasonable groups with them with my little contour, but I only tried them at 15 yards and muzzle energy was down compared to bisley magnums etc. They performed much better than h&n rabbit magnums though. The contour sprayed the rabbit magnums all over the place. Some .25 slugs for sale on eBay as well, might be worth a try for anyone with an fac .25?

Just heard the other day of two chaps who tried the Hades in sub 12 and the they were really pleased with the result. I am going to get some to try in my 110k as an alternative to JSB RS for use on the rats and ferals.

Poor manufacturing tolerances I am guessing which is not what I would expect from Eley.

I have a couple of tins of these and they seem well made to me. They shoot ok in my contour but at 30 grains, the range is obviously short. In fact, they feed really smoothly from the contour’s pellet fussy magazine, but so do h&n rabbit magnums and they shoot really badly in the same gun.
