That it could!

I agree with him on the vinyl vs hydro-dip. The first dip I had (Toad-a-Flage) was extremely durable. The second dip, not nearly so. And for me, wait time was too long. The vinyl wrap is hard to beat for cost and simplicity and can generally be done in hours. On top of that, you really don't have to disassemble the gun if you don't want to. NOT the case with hydro-dip coating.

By the way, I ordered Predator Polymags in 22 last night.

I know you're a big fan and have encouraged me, but it was watching Cedric's video of shooting them through his $6 home made ballistic gel that really convinced me. I posted the link in another thread in General Chat.

You could see the the transfer of energy to the target, the much larger wound channel, and the awesome expansion of the pellet (22 expanded to more than 25, 25 to more than 30).

I was going to buy one tin of 22 and one of 25, but then I decided 25 is already massive on squirrels, so I would benefit most from 22 improvement.

The .25 is just as accurate as JSB kings in my gun, so I'm very happy with then. Bought 15 tins a while back.

If I ever go after animals bigger than squirrels with my 25, I will get some 25 Predator Polymags.

I remember you said you used JSB Kings for your large brown pests. Why not use the Polymags?

IMO, the .25 benefits the most from the Polymags on small game. Having the .25 Polymag stay in the squirrel (body shot) is no small task. To make things that much better, all of the .25's energy is transferred into the squirrel, meaning body shots are all you'll need for an instant drop.

I've had a squirrel take a bad hit to the face with a .22 Polymag and then choke on it as I put another in him. They certainly still do better damage than a dome but you just haven't experienced them properly until you've tried them in .25. On squirrels, it's like a fastball slamming into the catcher's mitt.

Darn. It is that silly set-up PA has with 4th (lowest cost) tin free. I wanted some JSBs and they only had the 16 grain in stock so I got two of those. Then I wanted two of the polymags to round out my order of 4 tins. Those are all pretty close in price so I first put one of each 22 and 25 polymag in my cart. Then I switched the 25 to 22 since they have 200 per tin whereas 25 only has 150 per tin - that is 50 extra squirrels! I may have to wait until my next big order to get some 26 polymags.
