    Still shooting JSBs???

    I only shoot JSB or ZAN now in my pcp's. I like the lead that JSB uses the best. I bought 10 tins of the AEA 50.1gr .30 and they don't shoot better than the JSB in my gun. Same with the .22. Where JSB doesn't work, I go to ZAN, good lead that doesn't screw up or foul a bore easily either. My...

    JSB KO 20.83gr, if available..

    I've had great accuracy out to 200y with the KO in light wind, but in 5-10mph wind the 23gr ZAN are more predictable way out there. My Barra doesn't like H&N or NSA, and I tried a lot of both, all 25gr or less. JSB and ZAN for the win. I definately prefer JSB lead. It just works the best of all...

    JSB KO 20.83gr, if available..

    The thing that I like about ZAN is that I can order straight from them. I don't know if you can do that from JSB or not but I guess I will find out when I run out. Just an fyi, but the other slug my .22 likes is the ZAN .217 23gr, maybe your gun will like them too. They shoot about 30fps slower...

    JSB KO 20.83gr, if available..

    My favorite slug out of my Barra 250z. I'm running them at 980fps. I hope that they are just out and will produce more. It is most annoying to live in an age of instant communication and we can never get a company to say anything definitive about their products or their status. I just checked...

    does anybody remember the old old Yellow forum?not for the faint of heart""

    I lurked at just about every forum since the internet became a thing but never joined one until AGN started, I think. I might have joined GTA first, don't remember. Once I got really active with pcp, I needed the active back and forth of the forums though. Yeah, there were a lot of...

    Banana for scale, that's funny! Good shooting.

    Head shot thread

    You're not kidding! The close shots, under about 12y, are the ones I screw up the most. This time, I used my range finder and Strelok. Here is the part I left out, and probably the reason I posted in the first place, this little rabbit did the biggest and most energetic death dance than just...

    Head shot thread

    I took a headshot today on a bunny at only 8y away, using 10.03gr JSB KO Mk3 slug @980fps. The result shocked even me. I would not take a picture of it. It took me a few seconds to understand what I was looking at when I retreived it. The bunny had been looking away from me, and I put the .177...

    JSB is still the king of pellets...no takers?

    Yeah, this thread is a great time capsule. I have tried the AEA 50.1gr in my .30 Paradigm and the same weight JSB still shoot better. As far as .25 goes, the 34gr MKII's have never given me a reason to try anything else. The 18.13gr .22 seem to still be close to the JTS/AEA for others, but I...

    In my younger days,I always wanted a Crow Magnum or the Theoben Eliminator

    Congratulations on the win! I had wanted one too, but at the time it was more than I was willingly to spend. That was "real" gun money. I really have been spoiled by the smoothness of the PCP shot cycle and while I'd might like to just have one, I don't think that I would shoot it much at this...

    What's your favorite .25 pellet/slug

    JSB 33.95gr MKII, favorite piece of lead so far.

    What happened to the JSB Knockout 20.83 Slugs???

    I have found that Utah Airguns and Talon Tunes, both, have a confusing menu system where they show a tin of the brand that you are looking for but you don't see the actual size. The drop down selection menu does list it correctly. I use this same slug, it's awesome, and I have bought them from...

    Benchrest rifle

    You're missing my point that I read conversations about poi shifts on FX guns all the time too, and they still win all the time. The problem certainly isn't specific to the Avenge-X. I had read the list of guns, once, when C'cut checked if she had used an aftermarket barrel, because everyone...

    Benchrest rifle

    All comers at the event, yes it does. Sorry for you, but hers worked great, and if you saw the list of the other guns you would have even less to say. I don't remember exactly but it was mostly FX, a few Daystates, and two Thomas I believe. Her gun was at the same level for the two day event, it...

    Benchrest rifle

    You all have pretty short memories. Recently, Ana Rose Spanagel, using an Avenge-X .25, with a factory barrel, beat all comers in a 3 card 100y benchrest match.
