EVOL Evol 30 ammo choices

[Madeintheuk]

What’s everyone shooting from their evol 30’s?

I’ve only shot the jsb hades so far, and they’re doing 890fps from my setup (not tuning yet).

The gentleman that sold me the gun said that he had heard they shot fx hybrids well, and sent a package with the gun. Before wasting them, I wanted to know if anyone had any experience with them, and at what speed they were shooting. Also, if there are any other options that y’all are shooting with success.

Thanks in advance!

@Pumacarl can probably good insight and this is also my way of subbing to the thread.

I dont own a .30 but from what I have seen they love the hades and the 44 grain jsb. Tom has been pretty adamant the gun was only designed around pellets, but some have gotten slugs to shoot with some tuning. I believe it is mtn ghost gunner on YouTube who is shooting 62 grain NSA with incredible accuracy at something like 130 yards. All of my info is just from others experiences not my own. Good luck!

I’m not necessarily looking to shoot slugs. Just looking for some advice really.
I have a few tins of hades and 44g jsb. I’ve heard 50.15 shoot well too, but it’s all hearsay right now. I’m looking for some advice from shooters of the 30, and what they’re using. 30 ammo is expensive. Lol. I’d rather not buy what it can’t shoot well.

I have found the FX Hybrids to be the most accurate in my Paradigm and it is shooting at 905fps. I have the reg set at 2300psi. With my reg at 2000psi the 56gr Zan BR30 pellets were the most accurate at 800fps, but they were not hole in hole (at 52y) like the FX are now, close to it but not. I am running the Zan's at 846fps now, and the the Hybrids win. The NSA 47.2gr slugs shot just ok at the 2000psi reg setting and terribly at 2300psi. The 50gr JSB shoot very well at both power levels, just never the absolute best. I never bothered with the 44gr JSB because the B.C. is to low to have fun with way out there. The Hades shot lousy at lower power but shoot very well at the higher power doing 925fps. This is all going out the window soon. I have an order in with Atlas Airguns for the 42cc plenum extender once it comes in. I am chasing after an NSA slug that works, for their higher B.C. and better pricing. It should also help out with the BR30 pellets. My only issue with the FX Hybrids are that I need to a pull a patch after every 30 rounds or the accuracy drops fast. Still, they are currently the most accurate with a clean bore.

That’s a lot of info. Thanks.

I’ll try the hybrids for now, and order some 50.15. I was also looking into a plenum when they’re out. Even just for the efficiency aspect

I have heard the Zan pellets work well from a few .30 Evol owners.

I have tried the 44’s , the 50’s, and the Hades in my .30. In my rifle the JSB 44’s (or the 44’s with the FX label.) are so precise out of the Evol that I don’t even want to look any further for different ammo for it. It’s shooting the 44’s at about 880 if I remember correctly, out of the box with no adjustments made.
I can’t see any room for improvement with any other ammo within my skill level. Unless I found another ammo that was equal in accuracy and cheaper to buy than the JSB’s I will continue to stock up on my stash of 44’s for the Evol.

That’s where I will start then as well as the Zan. My Evol .30 will be here tomorrow.

I honestly don't know how the 44's shoot from my gun, but I do know from other pellets and s!ugs that a high bc makes a big difference at long range. I am usually just screwing around with reaction targets and while some low bc pellets have shot excellent up close, things fall apart fast when you want to play further out. I look for something that will work at everything. If I was just shooting at 100y benchrest or something I would definitely try the 44gr too.

44s and the sovereigns will shoot 880-890

@One-Shot what is your reg setting on the .30 Evol?

 

[One-Shot]

Just under 2,100 PSI

 

[AtlasAirguns]

Just under 2,100 PSI

And what pellets do you use as your primary? And what slugs?

 

[One-Shot]

Strictly 44 gr pellets for me personally. The gun was actually optimized and designed for the 44 gr, and pushes them at 893 FPS. Slugs for me will go on a different Evol specifically geared for that.

I usually shoot the 44.75s by Daystate and they shoot right around 885-890 depending on the temperature

this is my exact settings. Good to know that’s what it was spec’s for. I’m sure even though I bought it used, it’s still setup like it was from the factory.

Yeah they are insanely consistent

There’s a new sheriff in town I’ve been after this guy for a couple weeks now. This squirrel has been digging up my RC airfield. Not a very long shot. 32 yards just got my new eval 30 today from Tristan zeroed it at 30(for now) with the JSB 44.75g. I set up on the airfield and waited.

Nice shot, the evols are great at being a point and shoot and not question whether or not the rifle will perform.

What do you think of it so far?!
