Can someone fill me in on the current high bc 30 cal pellet? Have a new gun on way that will be my first 30 in quite a while
Highest bc 30 cal pellet
- Thread starter Solo1
- Start date
JSB 44.75gr is probably "the standard" for the majority of we .30 owners. There are other manufacturers making similar products but all are around 45gr (AEA, FX, JTS, etc.). I occasionally use the 50ish gr pellets too but the vast majority of my shooting is with the 44.75 (JSB Exact or Hades). Not sure of the exact BC.
At any rate, it's probably your best starting point. Not as many options in different ammo for the .30 caliber as there are in other calibers.

Ya i know the 44 is the most common but i have no idea what the bc is of the new zan or aea pellets are in 30 cal thats why im asking for this info from someone who knows. I have 44’s but want to find out if there is something better. I heard there is 1 with a bc of .07 but i don’t know which 1?

The bc of the 50.1gr JSB is slightly better than the 44gr yet in many people's guns the 44gr shoot better.
The AEA 50.1gr pellet has the highest bc that I know of (.06) and my Paradigm still likes the JSB better regardless. I bought a sleeve of them because I was convinced they must be better. Maybe they are, I did not really try to tune for them yet, to be fair. When I run out of everything I will try tuning for them, but right now I have the FX/RMR slugs shooting so accurately that I am not touching anything and their bc is .07, so I am in no rush.

I guess ill have to order a couple tins of aea and some of the br 50 and br 100 to try. Was hoping someone would know.

I mean, if you are really that concerned about BC, shoot slugs. Pellets are all going to have very similar BC profiles.

Hard to shoot slugs if they are not permitted! And thats the reason for asking about high bc pellert which are permitted! Lol
