Anyone shoot these heavyweights in their Condor ? Want to know if they are accurate and at what speed you shooting them at ?

I shoot the Kodiaks at over 1000 in my Condor SS, but I'm putting in a 24 " barrel just because I want the extra speed for heavies at around the 1000fps area. I want a flat trajectory with a heavy pellet (The Beast may be a little much as shooting in the 850ish fps area is not what I want, I want 950+, I'm sure I can get that with the Monster). This gun will have a 53cc 3000 psi tank and a Mad Dog stock for it. It will also have a R&L Shroud. Scope to bore distance will be in the 3.5" area so my OZR should be pretty small.

You will find over the long term that 950 fps is about the upper limit for accuracy with pellets. They just aren't intended to be shot faster than that. You might find a gun/pellet combination that does shoot accurately into the trans-sonic region, but I have never seen one. Then again there are a lot of things I have never seen, soo.... Just my two, brother. You might look at bullets if you are trying to get flatter trajectory and longer range. Most everything I've ever owned shot more accurately at velocities below about 925 (ish).

Did you shoot the Beast or the Monsters ? how did they perform ? I will only shoot them out of my Condor with a 24' barrel to be in the 950ish area.

Were they accurate ?

"ajshoots"Not a condor, but I built a custom marauder that shot the monsters at 924fps avg and they were absolute tack drivers. I actually shot my smallest 100 yards group with that gun. I found the near waistless design of the monsters responded more like bullets than pellets.

Exactly what I thought. being that that particular pellet is much more of a slug shape than a waist pellet shape,I look forward to testing that pellet out tomorrow. The beast may weigh to much, but I don't know ;- ?

I find the exact same thing in my Shin Sung Career II 707. The Monsters act like a bullet.

Went out this am, with the wind blowing at 12mph at 8am (just a total PITA) ... anyway fired off a few shots before my chronograph blew off my truck bed.

Monsters (25gr) were averaging ~945 fps and the Beasts (34gr) were coming in around 885 fps. I Have a new 22 cal 24" barrel on the way which I think should give these pellets another 50 fps. PW was at 6 for the Monsters and 7 for the Beast, 7 is pretty high but did not have a chance to do much testing because I was busy trying to shoot in between wind gust.

When I get the 24" barrel and shroud I will test for accuracy at 60 yds, and the winner will be the pellet I use ... I'm not going to stock both these two weights .. I will test in my Career 707 .22 also ;- ) If I can get in the 950ish fps with the beast (with the longer barrel I should be around that speed) .. that will be a a heavy smashing bench air rifle for sure.

I did some calculation on ChairGun but I have no idea the BC of these two pellets ... so I just took the BC of a 22 cal Kodiak at .0360 and gave both of these a BC of .0380 to be conservative. I'm assuming the BC is better than the .22 cal Kodiak ?

If anyone has a rough BC please post as I would really like to get an idea of what it is ?

Thanks Guys.
