JSB 44.7 grain vs. JSB 50.1 grain

I’m not sure what you mean. What specific distance is long distance in this context? I have not encountered accuracy issues shooting the 44.75s out around 100-110 yards aside from my mediocre shooting abilities. In my experience they shoot better than the 50.1 grain diábolos. I attribute that to the tune of the rifle. I can shoot the 50s though. I was really trying to determine which pellet my rifle shot well.

You should go with whichever one is the most accurate in your gun. The BCs are close enough that it doesn't make a measurable difference. When I actually measured them at 100 yards in my old Bobcat, the 44.75 were 0.042 and the 50.1 were 0.046. Very close... In my .30 Bobcat, the 44.75 were very slightly more accurate than the 50.1. However, I'd get an occasional flyer from the 50.1 and never got a flyer from the 44.75.

I have notice some flyers out of my Vulcan 3 with the 50.1
But I have just some shots with it and I do not trust yet my own experience.

@Emu At what distance(s) were you shooting from? Do you sort, weight, wash, and/or size your pellets?

I have been shooting at about 80 yards.
I have not sort at all the pellets. I took them out of the tin and load the magazine as they came out.
I never sort pellets. I never compete with anyone except myself.

@emu In that case I wouldn’t worry too much about an occasional flyer. Without visually sorting I shoot bent skirts and and I get flyers. I’ve also sized some .30 pellets and from the variances I’ve seen I don’t expect unsorted pellets to perform as consistently as I once did. I don’t like shooting the 50s out past 75 yards because of my tune and I don’t care for their trajectory in comparison to the 44.75s. That’s about all I can really say about them from my experience shooting both. I shoot from a .30 Evol.

I shoot a lot of the JSB 50.1 grain pellets and do weight sort them. They do have a very big difference in the weight variation per tin. For longer range shooting the sorting does make for more consistent and tighter FPS spreads, along with smaller groups and fewer fliers.

i got the china star...AEA challenger .357 standard.
just back ordered 4 tins, i was told they were in stock !@! about 15min before i purchased.

IMHO totally depends on whether your gun likes them. My .30 prefers 44.75's. When I tried the JSB 50's in my Boss they didn't do well, HOWEVER, FX 50's do better than the JSB's (which is wierd because they're virtually the same pellet!). Just go with what your gun shoots most accurately & CONSISTENTLY!
