I had to try it. I ordered 200 34.7gr HP pellets from NSA. The order process is painless and easy. Confirmation of the order and the shipping was prompt and timely. The pellets arrived packaged USPS priority in a well padded envelope and cushioned box. Visually in perfect condition and as good as the best condition as any JSB's that I've seen.
I used my RAW HM1000X with the polygon barrel for my test. At the time of testing it was shooting the NSA's at an average of 838 at the muzzle and at 48.8yds it was still at 780avg.
FYI, just for information the maximum velocity I could get out of my RAW shooting the NSA's was 898-899, while the Heavies at the same gun settings was 920fps.
They measure .330" long and EXACTLY .250" diameter. Actually a tad shorter than a JSB Heavy MKI (.355"). They also work perfectly in RAW magazine.
As for the BC that I calculated to the best of my ability and not knowing exactly what type of projectile to compare it to in Chairgun I used the normal Diabolo profile.
I had a 11mph tail wind so your mileage may vary..
For accuracy testing I shot it at 50 and 80yds. This is just some sample groups that I got. Not great but not so bad either. One thing that I noticed is how clean of a hole they made. I didn't see any spiraling on the shots. I also didn't test it at maximum velocity yet either so I don't know if more velocity will help the groups or not.
50yds
80yds.
Overall they had about the accuracy I expected and I don't know that I would use them for anything other than hunting and the RAW being as heavy as it is probably won't be my hunting gun preference. The RAW was the only gun I tried them out of since the barrel is not choked. I have a FX500 that I might try them out of just for grins. Hope you enjoyed my review. Any comment or ideas are welcomed.
