Thanks for reporting your findings on these pellets .
I am interested in testing them with my sub 12ft/lbs springers.
Where did you obtain your pellets from please.

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.

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

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

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.

Interesting results. I will have to try a tin of these in my HWs
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.

Luckily my Lightning barrel is fine and I can use any .25 pellets (No problems with normally tight German pellets) but the first Lightning .25 barrel I got was so tight I struggled to get .243 pellets in it, even after being sized (but I did buy it cheap from John Knibbs so was probably rejected by BSA quality control).

They are hard to load into the barrel, shame really well not really not many in the tin and way more expensive than the ffts
They should have come out with RS type or express but in .25

Had to revive the thread,
I recently bought a scorpion .25 sub 12 off another member (what a super rifle ) & having tweaked it back up from the high 9's to 11.6-11.7 had a quick zero session this afternoon between showers.
While it doesn't seem at all pellet fussy, except Bisley Pest Control which it doesn't seem to like, it shot the JSB lead free single hole at 571fps although at 11.98ftlb a touch too close
