I have 200 of the truncated promethus pellets (white boxes). I shoot them using my Marksman 2004 pistol with a Fitco red dot sight. I can hit all my tin cans at less than 10 yards with those pellets. At about 15 yards I miss most of the time. Of course, there is a saying that your rifle choose the pellets (not you).

i have some, theyre fast, but not very accurate. and the penetration isnt any better than lead pellets. and theyre real expensive.

youd be best off with some rws or h&n pellets. theyre pretty nice, good performance.

Prometheus pellets are junk they are hard on barrel that are made to shoot lead and not very accurate

^yes, maybe fun for light airguns, but not suited at all for the springers with a little more energy.
Then the plastic leaves plastic strings in the barrel, plus they are way too light for magnum springers as well ..

Yeah, I got about 12 tins of all kinds from Skenco, I hardly use them
because they're expensive, the only good thing is very high velocity on
chrono and very deep penetration, I haven't found any problem on the
barrel yet as some people had claimed.
