I've been giving this some thought, and although I know why I am using JSB 44.75 grain .30 caliber pellets in 100 yards competitions, why are you? The only reason I am using them is because my gun prefers them, and shoots most accurately with them. Plus with the older ST barrel in an FX Bobcat Mk2, the gun won't shoot the 50.1 grain JSB as accurately.
It seems that perhaps shooting a pellet with a better BC in .30 caliber would be preferred, like the 50.1 JSB which has a significantly better BC. I know the new Daystate Safari shoots them accurately, and is the preferred pellet for that gun at approx. 855 FPS. I also question why more shooters are not using the .25 caliber JSB 33.95 grain pellets in competition, since they actually have a BC that is superior to the .30 caliber JSB 44.75 pellet? Ted won EBR with a .25 Heavy pellet in 2016.
So if you've tried both/any of these, or even the .22 caliber JSB RD Monster (BC approx. equal to the .25 Heavy), what are your reasons for sticking with the .30 JSB 44.75 grain pellets in competition? Food for discussion if interested...
