    When I had FAC air running at 29 ft lbs, I used Daystate 16grn pellets, but I used to wash them, dry them, sort them and take out and bad ones, then lube them. I was getting 1/2” groups at 50yds.
    Yes, the cleaning, sorting and lubing cycle (which took about 30mins for a tin of pellets) made a huge difference to the grouping
    And then an ice hockey game broke out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0woZ...layer_embedded

    Sumatra has power to spare so I would try those 25 grain and 34 grain JSBs. Good BC equals reduced wind drift.
    Viking Mk2 .177/.22 bullpup, BSA Scorpion SE .177, BSA Scorpion .25 100M gun, BSA Scorpion .224 100fpe 100M gun,
    Evanix Blizzard .257/.357 200M BR, Evanix Sniper X2 .45 at 270 fpe

    It rests entirely on the initial velocity to be fair, 18.3 in no wind at all and at the right velocity will generally have the edge, but introduce wind and the 25g JSB RD MONSTERS will have it every time, the 34g BEAST never seems to be as good at 100 yards as the 25g no matter what velocity.

    If you can push the 25g RD MONSTER to 1000FPS even better but they need around 930-940 as a minimum, below that velocity and after 75 yards they aren't as good.
