My data for the slugs heavier than 22 gr. is a bit messy as the data was collected at different velocities. Keep in mind this is 4 different sets of data that were taken on different days and in different weather conditions. Data was collected at a distance of either 50 or 54 yards. I only do precision testing on days with light wind and have excluded the worst group from each data set to try to reduce the affect of wind. We are looking for a trend to emerge in the data from all 4 data sets and I think the data comes out with fairly consistent (reliable) results and likely to be replicated in your Taipan Veteran.

All data averaged summary:
Data Set One Summary:
- The use of slugs in the Veteran comes with a 10% - 20% reduction in muzzle energy.
- The JSB Monster Pellets are the most precise projectile.
- All the slugs (except for the Griffin Hollow Base) are almost as precise as the JSB pellets.
- Why do the Griffin Hollow Base shoot at 4 FPE less than the Griffin Low Density Core (LDC) slugs? Too much surface contact with the bore?
Data Set Two Summary:
- Two slugs out shot the JSB Monsters in this data set: THe JSB Knockout Slugs and the NSA 24.8 gr.
- The Griffin HB data reiterates that the Veteran doesn't like them.
Data Set Three Summary:
- The JSB Monsters are starting to show consistently better groups than all the slugs.
- The JSB Knockout Slugs appear to be separating themselves from the other slugs.
Data Set Four Summary:
- The NSA 24.8 gr. slugs did better than the JSB Monsters.
- The Monsters did significanly better than the other slugs.
All data averaged summary:
- GOLD: The JSB Monsters have the best combination of precision and muzzle velocity.
- SILVER: The JSB Knockout slugs are a hair less precise, and sacrifice 10% of the muzzle velocity compared to the Monsters.
- BRONZE: The NSA 24.8 gr. suffer a 20% loss of muzzle velocity compared to the JSB Monster pellets.
