Cole, I'm not picking on you. I certainly believe everything you say and agree you don't have an operator error problem. There is a million posts about how everyone has deemed the monsters as an unsolvable problem....despite their track record of great scores and many wins in ebr and other 100y events. How can a person overlook the history of performance that a few obtain when making a claim like that? The few are doing something different. Some say that they are shooting old pellets from whatever year they were good, and that could be true for some....but certainly not all.
The odd part about the monsters for me in 50y BR is that they are far easier to find good ones suitable for competition than any other pellet I've ever shot. If you want great 8.4s or 13.4 monsters in .177 you are going to have to do some deep digging. I pretty much use whatever I get at 50 as long as they are not damaged.
For 100 and monsters....you gotta look much harder, and you better have everything else as perfect as possible.
Guys use them successfully in 100y BR every year.
I've shot an untold amount of great 25 shot groups in succession at 100y with them and so have others. How can this happen with a pellet that doesn't work at 100? Something must be different somewhere, no?
