JTS .25 vs JSB .25 vs AEA .25 ? AGNs thoughts?

[_CTAIRGUNNER_]

I have been out of shooting for a while and with a Ghost .25 HP on the way I have been looking for ammo,


Just looking for AGN input on which ammo they have really liked? Looking for accuracy more so than power, I noticed that JTS has a couple different weights that JSB doesn't, like the 29gr for instance

Anyways, I appreciate you guys chiming in advance!

Congrats on the Ghost! I'd say you're back now. Good question, I'll be following this one. I still haven't tried JTS but I am curious how their 34gr would work in my guns compared to the JSB MKII.

I bought I bunch of the JTS 29.63g - hoping for a nice 30g solution to fill the gap between the JSB/FX 25.4 and 34g weights (both excellent pellets IMO).

My initial testing shows a lot of promise for the JTS 29.63 for precision target work from FX barrels. (see photos).

Daystate Renegade HP (LW polygonal) @880 shows solid results in the wind, but more flyers. (Renegade loves JSB 34g, even detuned to 840fps).

All results are at 40 laser measured yards. Pellet speeds noted. Red circles are 1/2” edge-to-edge. Wind speeds noted - if I’m shooting groups it’s because its too windy to target shoot for score. Note some groups are more than 5-shots.

First 40-Challenge card shot with JTS 30g is shown - 192. This is very promising. X is 4/100” diameter, 10-ring is 1/8” (.125”) diameter.

First time I’ve encountered a non-FX/JSB soft lead pellet the can keep up using FX liner barrels.

I’m looking for the JTS 29.63s to be a long range (75 and 100 yard) performer. I freaking love the JSB/FX .25 25.4g at 50 yards in. The 25.4 also has done great at 100 if very little wind, but moderate wind and the drift is tough to manage.

I have a few year old delta wolf in .25. Should be the same barrel they put in the ghost I would think. Mine absolutely loves the jts 29 gr domed (not semi domed) pellets. Actually not super pellet picky at all. In the lighter pellets it also loves the fx 25.39 grain.

@EPG , I too was looking at the 29 gr to be a 100 yard performer, I do find the 34s to be highly underrated but being only slightly lighter than the 34s ,I figured id like to give them a shot.

Kevin - the JTS 29gr do really excellent in the .25 Red Wolf we shot out to 100 yards. Everyone seems to agree this is the top pellet to try. Mine are going around 950fps.

Thanks Sean! When I come back from Florida in a couple weeks we should plan to link up whether your way , or up at my place, either way we can figure it out!

Yes, those, like the AEA21.9/JTS 22.07 in .22 cal, are extremely good pellets. Surprising thing about the 29.5 is that its BC is as good as the 34 grain JSB. The .22 version in approx 22 grain has a BC that is actually better than the 25.4 grain RDMs.
