.22 FX Crown and JSB (new) Monsters

950fps?! I'm sure those guys verified this but before showing up to compete but I would have thought the diabolo pellet would be unstable at that velocity. That is excellent news though, I am receiving a Kral PB in .22 from Troy tomorrow that is tuned for 45fpe. I purchased 4 tins of redesigned monsters with the rifle and really only asked for the gun to be tuned this hot for one reason - to shoot these pellets - I'm expecting these to have a better BC than the 25.4's in .25 cal. There's a video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpsJPgwNrOY&t=433sthat does a pretty in depth review of the pellet (as well as the beast) with some good math. The Monsters are doing about .036 and the Beasts are showing .045 I believe!

I'm sure that the Beast will have a better BC than the redesigned Monsters but accuracy, in most all cases, is better at distances of 75 plus yards with the Monsters. The BC of the Monsters measure from a Red Wolf at around 950 fps MV have been figured as high as the .055 vicinity. 

Most of the heavier pellets from JSB at 100 yards have a BC between .044 and .056. The difference of .012 in BC is an insignificant increase. A shooter needs to double the BC before noticing a significant improvement in downrange performance.

Hi Mike I’ve tried them and there not accurate in the ‘A’ liner. I saw a post where someone said they shot well below 800fps (at 35m..)which I didn’t try. Thayne Simmons must have had a ‘B’ liner if he was shooting them from an Impact at EBR. Did you here anything about his setup?

This!!! Means that Matt's slugs with a .07 bc shouldn't be that much better than a .30 cal Fx Impact @ .052 /w 44-50 gr!!! Well maybe a tad noticeable.

I can't remember what post or thread was it but, shooting the .22 Monster redesigned out of the Edgun lelya 2.0 would be in my opinion a great choice if you compare it with shooting the .25 King, flatter trajectory and almost the same performance down range.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, Brian have you tried that combo ?
