I am planning to get the new Impact X in .22 preferable to shoot jsb monster .22 redesigned. Has anyone experienced shooting these pellets with Impact X?
Fx Impact X and JSB monster .22

Hi. Yes I tried them but couldn’t get them to shoot accurately. They where all over the place with the smooth x and shot better with the original smooth twist. Better but not good enough
They obviously have the potential to shoot very well as demonstrated by the Redwolf HP. I hope when FX releases the ‘B’ liners in .22 it will shoot them equally as well.
Interested to here what others have found.

Just yesterday I shot the JSB monster, 25.4 gr. 22 caliber pellet through my Impact using the X barrel. I remain impressed with the group size at 40 yards. However, at 50 yards my groups open up horizontally 2 1/2 inches. I do not understand the phenomenon.
I was informed, on this very forum, that Matt Dubber had this same experience with these pellets at 50 yards and beyond. I was also informed that JSB had redesigned this pellet caliber and weight in order to make them accurate at longerdistances. To date I have been unable to acquire these pellets based on their non-availability. The closest I have come in acquiring them is on Pyramyd Air, where they are on "pre order'

I don't know how the redesigned Monsters fare in an X barrel but I will say the originals grouped so atrociously in my conventionally rifled air rifles that I was hesitant to even try the new ones. But I'm glad I did.
Here is a control group with the originals:
And then here's the first group with the redesigned ones:
A few other folks have reported much better results with the new ones, but also a few guys say they get better groups with the originals. Just have to try and see. Every barrel is a bit different and every batch of pellets is different.

@nervoustrig that group with the redesigned is quite impressive. At what speed are they shooting and is it with the stock barrel that comes with the gun?

I was shooting at 50m. I think the LW barrels with 1:17.7 twist rate shoot them ok. The smooth x A liner and slug liner have the same twist rate 1:20.The slug liner has no choke. My guess is that’s to slow.

@hsnmz, the B51 was set up for the JSB 18.1and 15.9 so it was running the Monsters at a leisurely pace around 30fpe. It is the China-issue barrel that has been gone over with my typical shade tree gunsmithing regimen.

OK, then I have the averaged version. I measured both my pellet A and slug A barrels at 1 in 19". Are these things really different, or are we measuring them differently?

I haven’t measured mine just repeating what I’ve seen on the forum. But it seems to slow anyway. The Huben shoots them well and has a .22 rimfire barrel with a 1:16 twist rate.
Would be interesting to know if the RedWolf has the standard 1:17.7 twist or is a special order and is bit quicker.
If I had a lathe (and skill to use it) I would try to make my own liner from one of these $62 Australiain dollars is cheap. I might take to the local GunSmith and get him to machine it.

It seams that not choked polygonal LW barrel shots a little bit more accurate for bullets however they are still 20% of flyers.
I have read more times and have confirmed myself too that extra heavy/long pellets/bullets ( Piledriver, Monster REDESIGNED, another slugs) do not like choke and too tight bore as well. I am thinking that hardy barrel lapping may help too.
But some flyers we can avoid only via using faster twist rates. 1:16” is little bit better as 1:17,7 or 1:20” but 1:10-1:14” is our wish.
H@N have asked LW to produce faster twist rate barrel but they was not successful for now probably because is it not easy to do so fast TR via traditional way ?
FX twist technology is easier and therefore I was believing that they will producing also faster TR Liners.
But more liners make more many ( 4 liners 1.ST, 2.STX-B,3.STX-A,4.STX-X )
