what PCP are thinking of buying

It might be an anomaly but my .20 MFR kicks out FTT at higher MV than JSB's, it also chucks the JSB's around the target at random, seriously does not like them at all.

Never tried the Barracuda.

You really do need to try it out. My legal limit Rapid .20 barrel definitely prefers the 13.7 grain JSB over the FTT even though they are usually better at FAC levels. You really need to try both and use the one that performs best. Try the Baracudas as well by all means but they are usually not as accurate in .20 as either the FTT or JSB.

[rapidresponse1]

yes without a doubt

My MFR does 10.9 with FTT & 11.6 with the JSB, in theory just about. Reg is at 80 bar.

Many thanks for actually answering my post - about what I was guestimating, tis a pondersome issue indeed .....

You do realise it will vary from gun to gun? Whilst this may give you an indication there is no set answer, there are too many variables from gun to gun.

Any more useful posts , like this one, where people can give side by sides with FTT and heavier 20 cal pellets like JSB / Barracuda in the 20 cal pcp they own / shoot ???

My new hw100kt laminate, does 11.3 with daystate kaisers ( essentially ftt) and 11.34 with jsb. I didnt believe that the ftt and kaisers were any different but the kaisers shoot well out of my .20, better than ftt, and better still than jsb. On a side note i tried bisley superfields too. They also grouped well. Hope that helps a little.

Very odd, I have tried about 20 .20 barrels now, never found any that like h&n ftt, a real shame because I have 6 unopened tins

Jsb is the most consistent performances out of all my barrels.

Back to op.

Why is it important to use ftts in the gun, surely accuracy is more important.

I'd guess it's the weight thing, JSB being almost 20% heavier.

[bucketboy]

Maybe, but I wouldn’t sacrifice accuracy for speed.

Pete if you want to get rid of your FTT's just contact me. I've always got room for more as they work better than the JSB in my .20 springers-both Weihrauch, a 95 and a 80 which I use quite a bit.
