    Jsb lead free

    Well got my lead free .25 JSB Exact kings, 16.54gn so had a play .

    Must say initial findings I'm quite impressed they're unmistakably JSB although the skirt recess is very shallow & the skirt quite thick reminiscent of accupells.
    https://ibb.co/J35T9mX .

    Conditions were somewhat gusty so not perfect at 40yds, the targets are 55mm, each ring is 5mm with a 10mm bull. 5 shot groups.

    Now I tested them with the Rapid which has the worlds fussiest barrel & only shoots JSB/AA pellets, everything else is rubbish, and initially at full power (42ftlb) to get this;

    That is better than any non JSB lead pellet
    as a comparison, although 3 & 5 are the only ones I'm happy with
    https://ibb.co/kScvYL7 .

    I reckon these have real potential with the power turned down a bit, as 1054fps average is too much for a diabolo pellet, When I get a chance I'm going to fit a lighter hammer spring & try them at around 900fps.
    they could be very good at sub 12.

    Of course the main issue with zinc pellets remains, I dug these out of the target, lead V zinc, 40yds at 42ftlbs

    Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in

    I chrono'd them in my Supersport and they where doing 549fps which comes out at about 10.9ftp but lead Air Arms .25 are doing 445fps but are doing 11.1ftp, so interesting results, not done an accuracy test yet.

    I ordered a tin this morning, hopefully they go through the Beeza barrel and have decent accuracy, be interesting to see what power they make.
