Testing JSB 13.43g Knockouts @ different velocities 53yards

Programmed new settings for Low Med and High on the Pulsar HP .177 and testing it on the 13.43g JSB Knockouts @ 53 yards, pretty good results but I think the "TAKE AIM" slugs, at least in 15g may still do better, had some samples before and gonna have to order more once I burn through a couple more tins I have of these Knockouts.

Nice documentation and very promising on medium power. Thanks for taking the time to post this, it will give prospective knockout buyers a target velocity to explore.

The 13.43 or any trash can always seem to do well.
I don’t know how much wind, well you were rested on bench, if clean polished bore and lubed sorted pellets.

Does your Pulsar have the slow twist ART barrel?

No idea about the barrel, just bought it used. Shot off bench with bipod and just opened a tin, not lubed or sorted. 0 wind
 
So was in a hurry to get out and get a rabbit or two but got in a few rounds at the range to check zero...after the last shot made small adjustment to scope and went out and got me a rabbit and squirrel, links below. This vid is just on the target shooting.

Lothar-Walther 6groove RH 1:17.7 polygonal


That would be awesome.
I was reading the polygonal rifling was common with daystate for bigger bore, some .177 came with it but more common with conventional rifling in .177....can you tell from the rifling you see in these pics? I can't tell but it does seem pretty shallow so maybe poly

Those are relatively flat and wide striations. Are there 6? It kinda looks that way.

I dont know maybe im trying to see it. The slug is a bit mangled. Im seeing this

Just shot the heaviest slug I have (20gn H&N HP) on the lowest setting into a 5 gallon bucket and it went through the bottom! No expansion at all, I can shoot my 30 cal at 1000fps and it opens up so fast it doesn't go through the bottom...anyway, looks like 6 shallow groves so Polygonal it is

I did that with a 40gr .25. Tuned for 980 with 26. Giant dent in kitchen sink.
