Two tins of these came home with me from the ft match this last weekend.
AOA donated a case of them to the raffle and I won these when my ticket was drawn, but they started just handing them out so many of us in attendance took at least one tin home.
I'm not big on weighing pellets but I know many are so I weighed 25 from each tin, in the name of science, or something like that.
And every single one of the randomly chosen 50 weighed 22.1grains on my little cheap scale.
315 per tin makes that a sample of 50/630, so the 50 represents about 8% of the two tins. I was expecting to do standard deviations and distributions and such, but none of that necessary when they all weigh the same.
Sliced a couple with a razor, both to sample hardness and better show the profile of the skirt cavity. Not a perfect 50/50 slice, but close...
Theyre not JSB soft, but they're also not Crosman CP hard. I can smash the skirt between thumb and forefinger, but it takes some effort.
No sticker on the bottom of the tin.
They've got some sort of lube on them. I would assume an agent to help in mold release. But definite residue on my fingers and the scale. They're not heavily coated with it, but something is present.
I'll try a few through the 1:22 SubMOA barrel from the Blackwolf when I get a chance, and report back on how they do.
