Nielson swaged .22 100 yards tests

[shutik]

Hi guys, I've ordered sample pack of Nielsen Swaged hollow point ammo and did 100 yards shooting with it from Daystate pulsar, here are my results.

21 grains 800 FPS

23 grains 756 FPS

27 grain 675 fps

28 grain 700 FPS.

18.1 grain JSP pellets 890 FPS
Pellets were shot on medium power, while bullets on high power.

Don’t see much improvement with bullets.

In terms of accuracy, no, but in terms of energy delivered, yes.

These bullets are made for hunting and they deliver twice the energy of the pellet at 100 yards.

I don't see the improvement either. I think the Daystate Pulsar uses a Lothar Walther barrel. Makes one wonder if FX's Smooth Twist X barrel system can give bullet shooters the accuracy they need at greater ranges. Thanks for posting these groups.

If you miss by an inch with 10 times the energy it's still a miss.

My conclusion is that accuracy is comparable between 18gr pellets and 23 grains swaged bullets.
