I finally got several tins of the new JSB 25.39 Shallow Pellets. Went out to my local outdoor range today and shot (4) N50 cards. I am admittedly a bit rusty, as I have been focused on the 30Y and 40Y Challenge targets for months.
RAW HM1000X .22 with very clean barrel
Midas Tac 6-24X50MM FFP
Distance: 51.3 yards
Wind: Light and variable, 2-3mph
Two Flags
Pellet: JSB 25.39 redesigned "shallows"
I was going to just shoot and measure groups at 50 yards, but after the first 10-shot group, I realized that would be a waste of time. Then decided to shoot some N50 cards. Shot a 245-8X, 241-5X, 232, and a lousy 228. The spread on the '245' N50 card was very tight, and most shots were at 941-942 FPS range. If you track my cards, you can see where I got a good bead on the wind hold ( shot some consecutive 10's ) and then poof - shot a 7 or 8 and had to regroup.
I will try this again at 100Y and cherry pick a light wind day. Will try the EBR 100Y targets for that adventure!
I like the new shallows for the RAW .22 HM1000X. JTS equivalent pretty good also at 50Y, can't really say which are better but I think the shallows edge them out a bit at 50Y.
