Well, we might only have the one article from Jim this month, but what an eye-opening corker and a must read for everyone re using damaged pellets (even only ever-so-slightly damaged ones) and their effect on velocity variation, down range accuracy, wind drift, pellet exit timings etc.

I read the article with interest as it appears to completely contradict the findings of Gary Wain's extensive series of damaged pellet tests, published last year in the same magazine!
I am pleased to see this as it falls far more in line with my own experiences.
I have now stopped using JSB Exact Jumbos in favour of H&N FTTs, as the long, soft skirts of the JSBs are too prone to damage in the tin. Not to mention the mixture of types that I am finding in my current batch!
I can only echo the sentiments expressed in the previous posts and trust that the unique articles continue to flow from Jim's pen. ... even if there are not so many of them. Where else can you find the information expressed in such an easy to read manner? Simply answered; you can't. I would like to think that Jim is taking a well earned rest from AGW to concentrate on his book (Airgun Science Fact and Fiction?) but maybe not. Whatever ... he has surely earned a rest and I wish him every happiness in his new 'partial retirement'.
Cheers, Phil
Ah, yes. The book that we've all been hoping for for years.
Maybe that's why Jim may be taking it a little easier on the articles side of things so he can dedicate more time to getting his book out there for all of us thirsty for airgunning technical knowledge and wisdom.
Could I have the first ten (signed, of course) please, Jim?
