bruno22rf Posted December 2 Report Share Posted December 2 If they work in your barrel great, the blurb says that the lighter weight is ideal for use in high power rifles - but they dont mention if that's FAC or not and, in my experience with my FAC S510, heavier pellets are far more accurate downrange. IMHO over the last 3-4 years JSB have dipped in quality and I prefer newer brands like JTS Dead centre or Norma Gold Trophy HT for hunting.

oldypigeonpopper Posted December 2 Report Share Posted December 2 Hello, Cannot say i have OM as they seem shorter and lighter than Hades or Heavies which means would not fit well in my FX magazine, ok if using a single shot loader, I would say a good pellet for spring rifles, lots of reports where they do better at longer ranges for sub 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.C Posted December 2 Report Share Posted December 2 yes and Falcon Accuracy plus (the same pellet). Good enough to win me the WHFTA 22 class this year however..... You need to sort them and weigh them to get the best consistency from them. They are light and the skirts are soft so there will be some that are not perfectly round (polite) and the weight can range from 13.2-13.9 although these are extremes and most will be 13.4,5 or 6. I run them at 625fps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultrastu Posted December 2 Report Share Posted December 2 I love em . I find they work well in every .22 I've had . Both sub12 . And fac Springer and pcp . I had 2 pigeons at 81 yds in the summer one right after the other .dropped on the spot . 865 fps fac . 80 yds being my max range for these pellets it's also where my reticle runs out .

We shoot them in HFT and they work very well, some people have said they have bad batches with skirt damage but I haven’t had problem , in my R10 . 22 They are later accurate and my mate shoots them in his S400 and that is the same, I’m going to try them in my HW 110 and report back🤞😂👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old man Posted December 2 Author Report Share Posted December 2 Testers going well in my AA S410 xtra. No deformity yet. Very accurate so far. Everything aimed at stone dead out to 50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultrastu Posted December 2 Report Share Posted December 2 I have worked out the bc to be around 0.0245 which is about the same as a.177 jsb 8.44 grn so not a super high bc . Compared to a 16 or 18 grn jsb .but certainly good enough to hold energy and accuracy out to 80 yds they also drop less at every range than the heavier pellets out to 80 yds if you don't change the guns energy out put . It's win win win for the lighter .22 pellets in my book . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

12gauge82 Posted Monday at 19:38 Report Share Posted Monday at 19:38 I've know some people who are having good results with H & N barracuda 8s. I haven't tried them myself though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old man Posted Monday at 21:59 Author Report Share Posted Monday at 21:59 Must confess have had good results previously with AA field and Hades but the JSB's seem more uniform size wise and being lighter need less hold over at distance.
