Well, I better knock off my pellet snobbery, these 22.07g JTS shoot fantastic at about 900fps out of this FX 600mm superlight barrel !
It was great wind conditions this morning (rain coming), so I jumped out early to see if yesterday's first card with JTS in the PP was a fluke...
... insane results! Look at the 3 sighters (then dropped 2 clicks on scope and started shooting card) and then these 20 shots - freaking amazing.
Leaderboard Submission:
Target: 40-Masters 199 12X [edit 198 12X]
Rifle: .22 FX PowerPup with 600mm superlight barrel
Pellet: JTS 22.07g at 900fps (888-914)
Scope: Sightron SII 36x fixed power target scope
I don't know why the extreme spread is not tighter, perhaps because I have the FX Chrono balanced on the pellet tins and it moves a bit when the rifle fires?
In any case, the 195 yesterday and 199 this morning are the best two first cards at 40-Masters that I ever had with a pellet. I gotta bring this PowerPup to my brother's house and see how these JTS 22.07s do at 75 yards.
I just checked before posting this - this 199 12X is the best 40-Masters card that I ever shot - beating a 199 11X in 2024 with the .22 Crown and a 198 15X in 2024 with the PowerPup.
You can see from the picture that the wind "flags" were just hanging for most of the card. The rifle is incredibly quiet at this power level. If I weighed these JTS, I could actually see a 200 40-Masters as possible.... but I ain't weighing - not that important to me. I have a stupid deer that I have to keep chasing away from my wind flags - it likes to play with them and knocks them over!
[Edit: guess I was too excited scoring - double checked 6a - it’s a 9. Submitting as 198 12X]
Dang!
