    Let us know how they perform in sub 12ftlbs. You might be only one who has them.

    Seems reviews have to be approved by a mod, before they show, I'm sure it won't be long.

    I find it difficult to understand why any shooters should regard these as worth using at 12 ft lb. At 21p a shot compared with say 3p a shot for quality diabolo pellets I really just don't get it.
    At FAC power levels the direct comparison with quality-but not 'match'- rounds at say 10p a shot makes me wonder again.
    Still each to his/her own but I'll stick with my 25.4 grain JSB in .25 and 15.9 grain JSB in .22 and save myself some cash.

    A 5p group at 42yds in a gusting wind, compared to 1.5" for JSB's would be all I can think of,

    But then it's like asking why would someone pay £5K for a rolex when a £50 citizen tells the same time

    Incidentally I use the same pellets as you.

    Nick, speaks with experience, I have tried zan .177 slugs in my hw100.177 excellent results
    but overall costs are too high, I will still use air arms field domed pellets.
