First Time Sorting Pellets By Weight

[jps2486]

3 tins of FX 25.39. Head size seemed to be a consistent 5.55.

Sorted a couple tins of JSB 25.39 and these 2 tins had a consistent head size of 5.57.

The majority of the pellets fell between 25.2-25.5. From ALL the .22 RDM I have sorted the head sizes in JSB run from 5.52-5.58.The FX branded seem to be either 5.55 or 5.56 head size. I have never found a tin of JSB with 5.52 head size.

Those outliers are responsible for those bad shots on your targets.

Have you found any improvement in accuracy? I have a pile like that too, haven,t had chance to shoot them yet.

I have found that sorting by weight does make a difference. Haven't had a chance to test sorting by head size. As I've said before, I AM PROBABLY the major factor in accuracy. I do have some environmental factors as well - wind, etc.

I don't shoot pellets much but I did do a random wight test of the jsb pellets I had. I had one pellet measure 33.1 grain as a low and as high as 34.9 grains. Almost 2 grain difference! Kinda hard to expect them to be accurate I suppose.

WOW i have sorted a lot of tins and never had a spread like that .

My first tin of Hades 22’s were the same. Ended up sorting by .20.
