expanding hollowpoint

[kidrock15123]

how the hell u open the pellet tin



[dela213]

@kidrock15123 lol, I'm not sure if you are serious or just fucking with me. But its a twist top pellet tin.

[silverado49er]

use to do that with my 22rim fire rifle shoot hundreds of rounds doing that never hurt it .

[forkedroad]

cool, thanks for the tip! ill try it out when i get my barrel break rifle

[threelittleniglets]

use these in .22 caliber with a bb superglued in the top cup of the pellet...................simpl­y killer.

[dela213]

@threelittleniglets you can by those mechanically attached. they are called gamo rockets and they com in both .177 and .22 for about $7.

[mannr100]

Forgot to mention.. I tried them with this and it worked ! Thanx dude :)

Fuck crossman !! Making us pay more for pellets that don't expand

[mannr100]

I have the same pellets and these shits don't expand.. They just flatten on impact.

I shot a street sign and several other hard targets

[dela213]

@mannr100 hollowpoints don't expand on hard targets, they are meant strictly for hunting or pest control.

[MrHotrod68]

dont you just love how the song just says your fucked

[ManOfTheWoods100]

At first I was thinkin this idea was stupid, then I tryed it. There is no way that making cuts into the pellet can ruin your barrel as lead is softer than the steel in your barrel, meaning it cant scratch any new grooves. When I tryed this Idea and tested it into clay I got the same results you did, huge expansion. Great vid BTW

[Deoxus5023]

I tried this and it works good :D

[TheKyla1981]

Nice expansion.

[kode1303]

Too many hollow point pellets doesn't expand. As a kid I used to fire the pellets reverse (skirt first) with very good effect. I even glued a short thin-walled lead tube to a wadcutter pellet with good results too. Finally I'd form some pellets made of candle wax mixed with lead particles - not very accurate, but good.

[fortaaron]

was that a bird?

[dela213]

@fortaaron no, there's not a bird in this entire video...

[fortaaron]

@dela213 ah thought so

[88dragons88]

@fortaaron Bird is the word.

[007tallguy]

there's no doubt that those pellets will expand more, but it's really hard to get get the cuts "centered" thus making the flight of the pellet quite unstable. just take the easier step for high expansion... get yourself some Crosman Destroyers! they have all the stopping power you need!!!! the Beeman coated hollow points are great as well!

[dela213]

@007tallguy I'm not really a big fan of Crosman destroyers as the cup is too small and shatters or separates from the main body of the pellet rather than mushrooming on impact, when this happens the force isn't fully transferred. However I recently purchased a tin of Crosman destroyer EX pellets which have a larger cup which looks stronger, however I'm still worried about the same issue presenting itself. I need to run some tests.

[1942nuclear]

i have a box of them to, your right you have to cut them to make them expand. crosman forgot to drill bigger hole and possibly they never tested them for the market.

[AmazingKnifeThrower]

thats the only way ur gonna get hollow point pellets 2 expand

[dela213]

@AmazingKnifeThrower nah, they expand without this trick, this just helps.

[AmazingKnifeThrower]

do hollow point pellets explode in the target just like real hollow point bullets do? *PLEASE REPLY*

[dela213]

@AmazingKnifeThrower Hollow points don't actually explode, its the hydraulic force of the liquid that causes the hollow tip to expand and release its energy into the tissue. In this sense yes these do react just like hollow tip bullets, however the reaction is on a much smaller scale.

[SANDYBOWLS]

what gun you using?

[dela213]

@SANDYBOWLS Beeman Sportsman RS2. it comes with interchangeable barrels in .177 and .22.

[banjoboyjohn]

i do this to my .22lr bullets except i use a small phillips screw driver to make the x in the hollow point it expands so much that it wont exit a 2x4 when u shoot it. the screw driver make a more consistent x in the tip for better accuracy and the slits actually go inside the hollow point when u use a screw driver. they blow a squirrel nearly in half. the energy deposit is great if you do that.

[dela213]

@banjoboyjohn hmm, i never thought of that, however i don't think a philips would work for my pellets maybe a screwdriver from an eyeglass kit, i may have to look ito that.

[jonnyc31mw2]

ffs man just go make a cannon lol XD

[naninto]

perfect ,congratulation

[dela213]

@MrTadaaaaaaaaaaaa  true but since mine is a break barrel I check after every single shot for any lodged pellets just to be safe.

[killratoss]

why cut em like that they dont even fit in the barrel then. by the way premier pellets are good shit i use the domes the pointeds and the hollows. never used wadcutters from them even though wads are my favourite. but good for taking aout satellite dishes around my house.

[dela213]

@killratoss well u gotta make sure not to cut down too far. ive never had a problem with my pellets not fitting in my barrel or any issues with blow-by

[headhunter1996]

i have a question witch one is better the crosman storm xt or the beeman rs2

[lexmark136]

@headhunter1996 which ever one fly's straighter from your barrels

[dela213]

@headhunter1996 never tried the crosman storm xt. but that's a good question. I'm guessing its personal preference but let me know what u find.

[1994JMF]

best pellet preditor polymag expand hella good and penatrate if thats watcha lookin for

[ashthegreat]

lol this looks a lot more like shrapnel than bullets anymore lol :P

just buy a grenade dude :P

[dela213]

@ashthegreat im not sure what ur referring to. but all my pellets i have recovered stayed in one piece.

[ashthegreat]

@dela213

Have you ever shot something metallic with them!? ;)

That's my point. They're much less dense than most other metals so hitting them will be like hitting wood with butter.

[ashthegreat]

@dela213

Does it even fit in your muzzel anymore? lol

[microminiskirt]

Beeman Pellets are great also.

[wxmt85]

your fucked

[0909cookie]

dam never thought of tht good thinkin im doin tht

[jps13party]

hmm i think they should design pellets that come with several slits so they can expand like that or maybe better than that.

its super exaggerated but i think it'll work good on soft game

[organist121893]

yeah but they're a pain in the ass to cast with normal equipment

[jps13party]

jesuschrist im not a fuckin speed reader slow the video down

[dela213]

its called a pause button bro. and its not rocket science... just cut some slits.

[Lack119]

whats with this song?

[dela213]

it was on the approved list.

[sav300]

I have found that this works well but it does affect the accuracy a little.

[dela213]

eh im still popping dimes at 20yds so its fine by me

[bryanvids]

i doesnt work with a high powered air rifle. itll just penetrate

[dela213]

my beeman shoots 1,000 fps its got enough power for what i use it for.

[KimimaroXxX]

i preff to just use a pointed lead pellet because they'll pierce right threw and if it hits bone and dosent break threw it the skirt plumes and causes hollowpoint dammage but if your hollowpoint or nothing then take a pointed and drill a thin hole in the middle (not a cone like these) then carve the x it has better penetration accuracy and the plume dosent break as easily as these and ends up more like a screw driver head and overall does more damage

[dela213]

nice. seems like alot more work but i will give it a try. thanks for the comment.

[SUPERMEGAQUINTON]

i've heard that these are acually no go at being hollowpoints.

[dela213]

the proof is right there on the vid bro.

[arvid90]

thx for the tip :)

[ganymedeIV4]

Yup dude you have it right.

.480 Ruger "Speer Gold dot" Ammunition has similar cuts etched into the head of the round itself.

I've done it alot on various pellets trying to make larger exit holes.

The skirt is what "seals" the pellet. Taking a Co2 and using the back of the canister to seat the pellet works excellent vs using your finger to fit it in.

The "head" is the actual round itself and its shape,weight and diameter are what determines its specific charaterisics.

[dela213]

yeah, im using a springer though. u can actually buy a pellet seater made by beeman that supposedly works rather well but i havent used it personally and dont think i need it yet.

[remingtonking22]

i am dooing the same with cross pointed pellets will let you know how theay do

[Joeyyepp]

dela213, will these pellets fit into a Daisy Powerline 880, cut or not?

[sn1p3f0rv1ct0ry]

hey joeyyepp. is that gun any good???? i might get it for my birthday

[Joeyyepp]

No, spend like $40 more dollars, and get a Crosman Phanton, MUCH BETTER, it's like $89.99 at pyramid air. I was planning on posting a hunting video with it.

[i7deutschland]

not sure what dela just said...my 880 lasted two years of incredibly hard use/abuse, like maybe a hundred shots every day and being left in rain, and its more accurate then my dads savage 22. i took down a raccoon with it easy. but of course my 10/22 beats them all.

[dela213]

im not sure, try one and if it doesnt seat without having to be forced then u should be fine. just dont force it as i dont want to be responsible for u jamming ur rifle. take it easy.

[loku1125]

oh and im not 43 dumb ass

[dela213]

lol so why does your channel say you are? are you another poser like vsfag25?

[loku1125]

whats with your pic you queer

[dela213]

I'm making fun of vsboy25 you butt-fucking cum guzzling dumbass, whats with the dog in your pic you ass sniffer?

[loku1125]

oh im hurt you stupid fuck

[dela213]

Good job you on the comeback. I can't imagine how you came up with it, and in only a day and a half.

[loku1125]

uhh i replied to it when i got it jackass

[Xxoo0o0o0ooxX]

I used to do this all the time it does work.

[dela213]

lol

[Parker4321]

Dude I cut the tip of my finger off because of you and your dumb invention!!!

[dela213]

haha i really hope your joking.

[ninja6kid]

it doesint matter how much a pellet expands what matters is tissue damage....

[dela213]

yes the tissue damage and damage to vital organs through "hydraulic shock"* which will bring down an animal faster because there is more energy being transferred (knockdown power)

[nickbownz]

and a larger pellet will cause a lot more tissue damage, especially when it's as jagged as those pellets when expanded.

[dela213]

you want tissue damage when hunting rodents and pests. ...

[nickbownz]

I know... I was agreeing LOL

[dela213]

lol my bad i wasnt sure what u were saying at first... i must have been drinking lol.

[ninja6kid]

if you want to measure pellet penetration, expansion, and cavity go to homedepot and get some plumbers putty.shooting water is useless

[dela213]

shooting water is pretty good when you want to see expansion, as its caused by hydraulic shock and much much cheaper than plumbers putty. i like homemade ballistics gel because it shows penetration and expansion of the hollow-point pellet and its unnecessary to remold it like plumbers putty.

[ninja6kid]

Balistics gel can only be used a number of times before it degrades, it must be used at a certain temperature, it rots, you have to wait like what 12 hours for it to reset...ive been using my same tub for years, it takes 2 seconds to remold.....balistics gel it does show pellet expansion, it does show penetration but it does not show cavity, that is what you want to know.

[dela213]

i agree with you on that, if you want to see the cavity or if you just want to see something cool. but my argument was if you just want to see how much the pellet expands you can just go with a simple 2 liter filled with water.

[dela213]

wad-cutters are terrible for hunting, and they do not expand they deform backward getting smaller as they penetrate.

[taofledermaus]

Correct! They are designed to punch nice round holes in paper targets so you can see it further.

[nickbownz]

not so, wad cutters are actually better in my experience for rodents, or other things where you do not need to penetrate feathers, the flat head really punches through skulls and organs, pointed pellets can zip right through...

[dela213]

this video isn't showing anything about pointed pellets, its just showing how to make hollowpoints expand easier, quicker, and better.

[nickbownz]

OH that comment, you just said that wadcutters suck for hunting, I am disagreeing.

[dela213]

i guess its a good thing i didn't insult you lol

[nickbownz]

LOL I don't cause shit on vids like this where good information is being shared,

I liked this vid, and I use this a LOT, it does work on wadcutters, but your right not on pointed ones.

us Canadians are stuck with under 500 fps guns, so we need ways for them to work better!

[dela213]

i love to cause shit lol. have you tried the gamo gold plated pellets, they are supposed to increase velocity in your airgun, unfortunately in my airgun they go supersonic and become very inaccurate.

[nickbownz]

lol naw, Gamo PBA pellets are shit, and apparently destroy your rifling.

I only buy the cheap bulk pellets, they get the job done, from paper punching to rabbit piercing.

I actually sold all my .177's, I need to get a cheap chinese one for general fuckin around, .22's are SO much more expensive, with such a smaller selection...

[AirgunAddict256]

recently there have been more .22's coming out. the weird thing is it seems only the good rifles are coming out in .22, so that helps. an RWS 34 is a bit pricy at 200 dollars but is well worth it. a Tech Force Contender 89 is also a great buy. but they need good quality pellets to shoot accurately. with either gun, you can expect quarter-inch groups at 20 yards with the right pellet and right hold technique. RWS and Beeman have some good .22's. Beeman a little less so since they're pricy.

[dela213]

oh lol. ive never used them for hunting personally. just plinking and target shooting.

[baseballbmxer]

what did you shoot them into? you think it would still expand that well wehn i hunt squirrels birds etc.?

[dela213]

I shot these pellets into home-made ballistics gel, and I have no doubt that they would expand with any critter. I personally took a crow from 50-65 yds in one shot, it was a through and through shot and i never recovered the pellet, but the quarter dime sized hole in the other side of the bird was proof enough for me.

[SANDYBOWLS]

do you think a hollow pellet would actually expand at around 600-700

[dela213]

its hard for me to say, I'm shooting at around 1000fps you could try firing through a 2liter bottle filled with water (lengthwise) and see if you can get any results from that.

[SANDYBOWLS]

i wonder what would happen if you did this to a pointed pellet

[dela213]

its really difficult and it does nothing beneficial, in fact it won't even fit into your barrel, i don't suggest it.

[Downedworker]

If doing this will cause any damage to your gun, I must have been very lucky.  I couldn't begin to guess how many pellets that have been Xed went through my gun, and the worst that ever happened was a few small cuts. I'd have to see the damage, before I could accept that doing this caused any damage.

[dela213]

I have never damaged my gun doing this, and i see no difference in accuracy, the only difference i see is faster more humane kills. those pellets on my vid demonstrate how much better they mushroom. also when i was doing testing on gelatin i noticed a lot more knockdown power.

[sportbikeandhunter]

but what ever,,, I'll deal with the consequences if it ever happens

[sportbikeandhunter]

haha that's great, I've been doing this since I've been 9, which is over 11 years and i have yet to have ANY ONE out of probably 100 tins break/explode or any of this other shit that people say.... What most of these people don't know is that people do this to regular bullets, and those are getting shot out at hell of a lot more pressure then an air gun, and nothing happens to them, so what the hell would go wrong in an air gun? some people are idiots...

[dela213]

you got that right.

[i7deutschland]

for sportbikeandhunter-well handgun bullets don't have the little flare at the end, and the air gun pellets are thinner+they are overall structurally weaker. a good rws or a gamo can put a pellet over 1300 fps, putting a lot of pressure behind it. but anyway i tried this out and it worked fine, i think if you press to hard, you will squash the bottom of the flare, causing the pellet to not fit right, jamming your $50 daisy rat gun or your $200 gamo rabbit gun.

[bigboss686]

you're going to screw up your gun

[dela213]

Ok. My Challenge is for anyone to find proof that if this is done properly, it will ruin your gun. instead of just letting the shit spill from your head and on to your keyboard like a moron with no facts to back your claim.

[bigboss686]

how about the fact that I already tried this and it already screwed up my gun, but I suppose the FACT that I have personal experience isn't good enough.

STFU

[dela213]

lol u messed up your gun, you could fuck up a wet dream couldn't you.

[bigboss686]

or least I'm not out there making a video about it and posting it in an effort to try to sabotage other peoples guns.

Anybody listens to you is an idiot and is going to screw up their gun

[sportbikeandhunter]

lol someone (probably the same person)said that on my video also... some people have no common sense

[dela213]

☻/

/▌

/ \

[theassholecrustshit]

also a great way to fuck up your gun

yep the music matches it your fucked

[dela213]

lol explain. If the skirt and head stay whole, the pressure in your gun is unaffected, furthermore, the barrel of my gun is much harder than lead, so i don't have to worry about it shredding my barrel like pba ammo. ...If you l=know something that i don't i would like to know. otherwise i'm gonna mark your comment up as you talking out of your ass like most teenagers who have only handled bb guns.

[dela213]

and i hope to god your not dumb enough to think it expands before it leaves your barrel. that just makes me laugh.

[sportbikeandhunter]

oh, nevermind i realized that you did shoot into ballistics gel, i read your thing on my vid, nice job by the way

you should make if vid up on their ballistics performace, meaning to put a video up of you shooting into ballistics then showing the differente performace, does that make any sence?

[dela213]

yeah, but i need to make more ballistics gel to do that.

[dela213]

yeah those are the rounds i used on ballistics gel. did u ever try it?

[sportbikeandhunter]

Hey, nice vid, what did you shoot these into? Ballistics gel?
