Rabbit Hunting with the JSB Hades Pellets
On this hunt I grab a budget air rifle and the JSB Hades hollow point pellets, and head out for a bit of rabbit hunting down on the ranch! I headed back down to Texas recently, on a mission! I’d been shooting the .30 caliber JSB Hades pellets in my RTI Prophet for a few … Continue reading

I’ve found myself gravitating to the .30, and for many of the same reasons I drifted away from the .22 to the .25 a few years earlier.
