Been hearing about these JTS pellets for awhile and being very consistent pellets in weight and size. I figured that I might try some as I've had issues with JSB consistency in the past. Got them in today and very impressed with them. Love the small screw top tins better than the large press fit tins of JSBs. Pellets look perfect unlike my recent tin of JSB 15.9 where half are bent quite badly. Here's the 3 I got, left to right. 18.1gr, 21.53gr and 22.07gr.
So initial shooting and I'm impressed. These are groups at 43yds off a rest. All 5 shot groups here's the FX 16gr which are my go to pellets for my Evol and the JTS 18gr.
These are the 21gr and 22gr from JTS. Both have an extra shot which is the top right pellet for an aim point. The 21gr has 6 shots as I wasn't sure if the one to the left was a flyer or me pulling it so did an extra.
So my Evol does seem to like these pellets. The 18gr might be my new go tos.
Next part I through them over the chronograph. I have the original FX Radar. I did it attached to the airgun, and then down at 43yds, 3 shot avg at each position. Here's my results:
FX 16gr - 895fps - 760fps
JTS 18gr - 850fps - 748fps
JTS 21gr - 772fps - 665fps
JTS 22gr - 770fps - 670fps
Based upon these numbers I have BC numbers on my gun with these speeds. YMMV. BTW conditions today were 85*F, 30" barometric, 40% humidity. And 782ft elevation.
FX 16gr - .037 which confirms what I've been using on Strelok for a year with no problems.
JTS 18gr - .045 these ones really surprised me
JTS 21gr - 0.35
JTS 22gr - 0.38
I'm at a loss on the heavier ones? I'll need to verify shooting at distance to see how accurate those numbers are. But I'm happy with how they all shoot! Hoping to try longer range tomorrow for groups.
