Pneumatic bullet 4.5 for hunting: overview, selection rules and reviews

Recently, hunting with the use of air rifles has become very popular. Until recently, there was no special literature on the effectiveness of the use of models of wind weapons, the correct choice of bullets, which are on the arms counters in a large range. Without knowing the necessary information, you can get confused and make the mistake of buying bullets for pneumatics. And this will deprive pleasure of hunting and the extracted trophy.

The best option for the caliber of a hunting shell is a bullet for pneumatics 4.5 mm. This most popular caliber has a large number of pellets manufactured by domestic and foreign manufacturers. Lead bullets for pneumatics (caliber of 4,5 mm) have individual features, advantages and disadvantages, which are important for the fan of pneumatic weapons.

Light bullets

Most models of pneumatic weapons characterize the limited power that makes it possible to create light bullets and helps reduce their friction in the trunk. Charging of rifles with weak power provides for the presence of two types of bullets:

• "Cap" , which has a very low weight (0.545 grams).
• "Volanchik" . The design of this bullet consists of a head part and a shank having a skirt shape. This gives the ammunition stability during the flight. The cuts in the barrel provide a bullet rotation, which also positively affects the accuracy of the hits. "Volanchik" is considered a more progressive option. The efficiency of an air rifle with such a bullet increases, as its friction inside the trunk diminishes. The pellet with the shape of a volcanic is ineffective during hunting for a large beast.

In terms of their aerodynamic properties, the "cap" and "volancher" are not ideal variants. The bullet for pneumatic 4,5 is a compromise between its damaging action and accuracy, depending on the degree of expansiveness.

Expansive bullets

With the improvement of the models on the shelves, in addition to standard pneumatic rifles, the samples appeared more powerful. This entailed the creation of new pellets, the weight of which should correspond to the power of the weapon. The pellets, weighing 0.67 grams, were used in standard wind models. Samples with high power require the use of ammunition heavier. The heaviest 4.5 mm pneumatic bullets are the result of the appearance on the arms markets of such powerful rifles as Hatsan and Evanix. In comparison with the light 0.67 grams, the expansive ones have worse ballistic indicators and accuracy.

Czech piercing bullets Edgun

Among the heavy poodles with a caliber of 4.5 mm, these lead products of Czech manufacture have better aerodynamics, which do not require corrections from the shooter at distances up to 50 meters from the arrow. Edgun bullets are characterized by good decking and are high-quality ammunition for owners of high-precision air rifles. In their design, there is a dome head.

Characteristics, description

• The weight is 0.67 grams.
• The speed is 270 m / s.
• Power - 25 J.

The energy and expansiveness that the 4.5 Edgun pneumatic bullet possesses does not contribute to using these ammunition in hunting small game. Lead products are able to pass through and take with them energy that ensures defeat. As a result, it's not a trophy, it's a pod. The Czech bullet for pneumatics 4.5 mm Edgun has high accuracy, as evidenced by testing with plasticine bars. After the shot was fired and the bar was cut longitudinally, this lead product left an even channel of 11 cm in length. However, the pulp did not change its direction and was not deformed.

Lead products Crosman

Pneumatic bullets 4,5 "Crossman" are considered one of the best pellets, having a caliber of 4,5 mm. They have two drawbacks, which have a negative impact on popularity. The first is that a large number of counterfeits have appeared in the arms markets. Second, very hard lead is used in production, which results in friction in the barrel, and 4,5 Crosman pneumatic bullets lose their power.

Products from Ilandler & Natermann

In hunting farms very often there are problems created by pests. Most of all, crows are annoyed. In the fight against them, the company Ilandler & Natermann invented special bullets caliber 4,5 mm, which are called: Crow Magnum (translated from English crow - crow). Carrying out a selection of pellets for pneumatics in caliber 4,5 for hunting crows. Experts recommend to dwell on the products of this company. Crows differ from other birds with high endurance, and it is undesirable to use ordinary expansive bullets against them. They will just pierce the pest through, giving the opportunity to fly a couple of dozen meters, until there is an outcome.

Bullets for pneumatics 4.5 Magnum, in addition to high expansivity, are capable of causing a shock when hit, causing shock in the game. Lead products Crow Magnum inherent stopping action. In their form they look like bullets for pneumatics 4,5 "Barracuda".

The difference is that Ilandler & Natermann's lead products have a cylindrical depression in the head part more than Barracuda. And, consequently, the diameter of the wound is larger.

Crow Magnum bullet characteristics

The bullet weighs 0.58 grams. The product is characterized by low indicators of trajectory trajectory and accuracy, which is confirmed after ten shots. From a distance of 50 meters, the accuracy is 5-6 cm.

The conducted testing using plasticine bars testifies that the bullet for pneumatic 4.5 Magnum rapidly loses its initial speed. The block cut along the plasticine block after the shot has a channel, the length of which is 5-6 cm. The location of the lead particles in it makes it possible to assume a tendency to deform these bullets in the bar. But at the same time, the diameter of the channel is two times wider than the diameter that the remaining bullets for pneumatics leave.

The feedback of the owners of air rifles using Crow Magnum testifies to the high efficiency of these bullets for firing at game within a distance not exceeding forty meters.

Which bullets are better?

Every year new versions of bullets with different designs and shapes appear on the arms counters. There is no uniform assessment of the choice of lead ammunition for air rifles.

• During active rest it is recommended to use pullets of "ozhivalnoy" form. They are applicable in very powerful brass rifles that have an initial speed of at least 300 m / s. This is due to the fact that the structure of ammunition is very similar to the construction of shells used in firearms. Pullets "zhivalnoy" form is not recommended for use in rifled weapons, as this will lead to damage to the trunk.
• Noisy bullets in their head are equipped with explosive charges. Upon contact with the target, detonation occurs, which does not entail any serious consequences. Damage to the impact is minimal. The contact is accompanied by a visual and audible signal. This type of bullet is used for entertainment purposes.
• Lead pellets with a conical head. It is used for hunting large animals. The product has a high penetrating ability and poor accuracy of fire.

• Expansive lead bullets are designed for hunting. In the design of the head part of these munitions there is a depression that forms a hollow in the pulser. After hitting the target, the head part is broken due to emptiness, and the bullet is deformed, which increases the diameter of the lesion. Expansive bullet does not leave hunts on the hunt.

What should I consider when buying bullets for pneumatics 4,5?

• Hunting requires the selection of such lead products, which will provide a compromise between expansiveness and accuracy. For a pneumatic rifle using pulleys caliber 4.5 mm long distances are considered distances over forty meters. In this case, it is recommended to use lead products that have an integral dome head. But there are times when hunting takes place at distances not exceeding forty meters. At this distance, bullets with characteristic deformation of the head part will be ideal. Similar pellets, according to the hunters, have a weak damaging effect, but they have high accuracy, which is important for shooting at short distances. The main thing is to hit the game in its vital organs.
• If there is no lead bullet of expansive action, you can use any other, charging it into the air rifle with the shank forward. At the same time, acting as expansive, such a munition strongly loses exactly. Therefore, charging is effective only in cases where shooting is made at short distances.
• When hunting for a large beast, a lead bullet with a hemispherical head is ideally suited. Lead and antimony are used in its production, which improves its strength.
• When buying bullets caliber 4,5 mm, you need to remember that these lead ammunition can be of various shapes. Their weight can reach 1.05 grams. Such products can not fire every rifle. The heaviest pullets, having a caliber of 4.5 mm, are intended only for weapons that can accelerate up to 300 m / s.

Taking into account all the nuances and subtleties in the selection of lead ammunition for wind rifles, you can choose for each hunt the required version of the bullets, which will positively affect the height of the quality of the shooting.
