Description

The Predator MetalMag .177 Cal Metal Tip Pellets deliver pinpoint accuracy and devastating terminal performance in a sleek, 8.5-grain design engineered specifically for serious airgun hunters and precision shooters.

  • Sharp metal tip penetrates deep for reliable, one-shot stops on small game
  • Hollow head design promotes controlled expansion on impact for maximum energy transfer
  • 8.5-grain weight balances flat trajectory with hard-hitting downrange power
  • Aerodynamically optimized profile cuts through wind for consistent, repeatable accuracy
  • Convenient 200-count tin keeps pellets protected and organized in the field
  • Compatible with most .177 caliber break-barrel, PCP, and CO₂ air rifles

Who This Is For

The Predator MetalMag is purpose-built for airgun hunters targeting pest birds, squirrels, rabbits, and other small-to-medium game where clean, ethical kills are the priority. It's equally well-suited for backyard plinkers and competitive field target shooters who demand above-average consistency and terminal performance from their .177 pellets. If you've been relying on standard lead wadcutters or domed pellets and want a meaningful upgrade in penetration and stopping power, this tin of 200 is an excellent starting point.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the MetalMag pellet different from a standard pointed or domed pellet?

Unlike conventional all-lead pointed pellets, the Predator MetalMag features a hardened metal tip inserted into a hollow-head lead body. This combination improves ballistic coefficient for a flatter trajectory while also initiating controlled expansion on impact — giving you both better in-flight accuracy and superior terminal energy transfer compared to traditional lead-only designs.

Is 8.5 grains too heavy for lower-powered .177 air rifles?

At 8.5 grains, the MetalMag sits in the mid-weight range for .177 caliber pellets and performs best in air rifles producing 800–1,200 FPS. Lower-powered springers or CO₂ pistols under 500 FPS may not generate enough energy to fully stabilize the pellet or achieve adequate penetration for hunting. For best results, pair these with a rifle rated at least 12 ft-lbs of muzzle energy.

Can these pellets be used for pest and small game hunting effectively?

Yes — the MetalMag is specifically designed for hunting applications. The metal tip ensures deep penetration through feathers and hide, while the hollow-head construction promotes energy dump inside the target for cleaner, more humane kills on pests like starlings, sparrows, pigeons, squirrels, and rats. Always verify local regulations regarding airgun hunting in your area before use.
