DAYSTATE REDWOLF PUSHING THE LIMITS!

So, it seemed that the .22 JSB MONSTER REDESIGNED pellet just got better the faster you shot it, well at 1100 FPS it doesn't shoot well, too much of a good thing then and time to move up to the 34g JSB BEAST or slugs!

The .177 REDWOLF testing has been interesting also, the JSB 13.4g REDESIGNED MONSTER doesn't seem to shoot well past 900 FPS, in fact the best accuracy seems to be at around 820 FPS or a fraction under the USA 20 FPE competition limit which is handy, but does the RD MONSTER at a lower speed than the 10.3g JSB HEAVY offer any advantage at 55 yards?

The .177 16.2g JSB BEAST however seems to get better the faster you shoot it, I took it up-to a fraction under 1000 FPS and it was shooting brilliantly.

The NIELSEN 18g slugs at 960 FPS+ also seemed to get better and better, especially approaching 40FPE.

With 90V on the board some staggering velocities can be achieved, but it is always better to go faster? Laity will be doing some testing with the RW and a 700mm barrel soon, watch this space!


 
Did you check the BC on the 18 grn slugs at that speed?

Joe

Didn't do that no, been tinkering for a while and I now need to do some 100 yard indoor testing to remove the wind variables and see what the true level of performance is, only me that will affect the group size then.

I tried the lighter pellets, the 10.3g JSB up to the early 900's shoots really well in the HP poly barrel, the 8.44's may be a tad better from the standard rifled Walther barrel, some more testing required on those as well as the new JSB EXACT SHORTS as these didn't shoot well at all at 900 FPS.

Need to also try some of the 15.5g NIELSEN .177 slugs, I must admit it's really nice that the .177 HP just shot the first slug I tried without any effort.

Unlike the .22 Red Wolf HP where we tested how many ??? 😵😵😵
