From curiosity I would like to know: Only from experience (no numbers) wich .22 pellet seems to be the most aerodynamic, hold its trajectory and power best ? Sometimes numbers do not tell the whole story.   Posted: Thu Sep 24, 2009 11:16 am yourdaddyjoe Supporting Member Joined: 26 May 2008 Posts: 4027 Location: Tatorville, USA I'm sold on JSB Exact _________________ Say "NO" to BB Gun Wars...

In the past I used Superdomes rather succesfully in an Armagnum 850. I hear JSB Exacts are pretty good too. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Thu Sep 24, 2009 11:44 am Alstone Moderator & Site Supporter Joined: 01 Mar 2007 Posts: 4139 Location: Linconshire, ENGLAND I like Super Domes also they are cheap, and AA Field similer to Super Domes but a bit more consistant in manufacture but cost a bit more.

For me, the points and hollow points (both RWS) shoot to exactly the same POI at 40 yards, and probably any other distance. For overall performance: JSB exact. Period. They are just about the #1 pellet for medium to long range hunting or match work. Incredible quality control and design. For when you just need to get it done: Crosman Premier HP. Although they act like a domed pellet having only a pinhole in the nose. At point blank range into a groundhog skull, the nose actually wanted to collapse in on itself rather than expand. The pellet does have a nicely designed nose for a great BC. Can't beat the performance for the price. _________________ "I never set out to be wierd, it was always everyone else who called me it" -Frank Zappa Speed is impressive, accuracy is deadly.

Both guns will toss them down range at over 900 fps and be right on target. JSB Exact Heavy work great with cross winds... Both guns will push them down range at just under 900 fps. The work even better in ThatGuy's Talon... You can really push the sound barrier with the Heavies... But they get kind of squirrelly if they go trans-sonic... So if you go super-sonic… you need to hit your target before they slow down to the barrier… At super-sonic… 225 yards is our max range to target with the muzzle velocity of 1250 fps. At the average temp and altitude of the pit (Shooting Range)… the speed of sound is 1062.61 fps Guy and I have spent quite a bit of $$$ on various pellets to find the perfect pellet for each of our guns… JSB Exacts came out on top each time on each gun. BTW... I wish we could find a flat area to shoot at... After 120 yards at the pit... it's all up hill... _________________ Say "NO" to BB Gun Wars...

Remember your geometry class? No I didn't think so. I would make use of a level, plumb bob, graphing calculator and a good range finder. If you have a high quality mil-dot scope then you could probably accurately measure distance using targets of known size. Long range shooting gives me a hardon. One shot, one beer bottle, one drunk redneck, maybe a hit. _________________ "I never set out to be wierd, it was always everyone else who called me it" -Frank Zappa Speed is impressive, accuracy is deadly.

So I wouldn't know long range much, but I like to science behind it. My being cheap also keeps me from buying JSBs or Beemans. CPH, Super Domes, and big-box Crosman pointed work just fine for me. _________________ "I never set out to be wierd, it was always everyone else who called me it" -Frank Zappa Speed is impressive, accuracy is deadly.

When setting up targets... We aim the Range Finder back at the Ez-up tent that we shoot from... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UbhoXT11fQ It's 3 beers & 3 shots each... Then you have a couple of drunk Rednecks with 6 new targets... Now keep your pup tent in your pants... This is looking back down from the 400 yard marker... It's a narrow window back down to the flat land... _________________ Say "NO" to BB Gun Wars...
