Anyone have any experience with these and care to comment?

They work well from Daystate/BRKs true polygonal from a few years ago, specifically the ones with the twist rate @ 1:30. Can't offer any opinion on how they're shooting from newer barrels.

From my particular barrel, they like 950-960fps.

I used them to qualify for the finals round at a smallish local EBR type match in July. To my knowledge, I was the only .22 in the finals, the rest being .30s.

I also shot them for the benchrest portion of the same smallish match last year. Scoring was different last year than this, they combined the total of two 100 yard cards with the total of the Extreme FT match and I was "in the money" for that aggregate scoring last year. Second or third I think.

They are not immune to flyers. But the flyers at 100 yards aren't as often or as bad as a typical batch of the slightly lighter 25.4gr MRDs.

My personal best 100 yard EBR score was with the Grands.

I shoot em lightly lubed, with Gunzilla.

Here's some more of my thoughts on them. I didn't update this post with the results from the match this July. .22 - JSB .22/28.55 Grands

I list a range of BCs that I've seen from them from 0.056-0.062 in that link above. I'm at high elevation so my BCs are higher than typical. But also, in the 18 or whatever mo ths that I've been shooting them, they seem to be more like 0.055-0.056 more often than the higher end of that range I provided.

Nice! Are you planning on keeping your Ghost still? I have had no luck with the grands myself, different speeds and ranges and nothing great to speak of....will continue to test until i run out, lol. The original Mrds and the Deep versions are very good, though.

I'm keeping the Ghost. It's .25cal so it has it's place. I found some tins of the old Monster Redesigned that I had bought years ago. I'm going to wash and lube them with silicone and try them out after I get the rifle sorted out with the 18gr JSBs.

Oddly enough I use Ballistol as a pellet lube, has worked great so far! It DOES gel up a little in winter cold but the Ghost didn't seem to mind....no other gun I own gets fed lubed Ammo but the Ghost is my special baby
