I've been reading where a few AGN members have had good results with the 14.66 gr. H&N FTT pellet. Got my tin today so I had some time to play ! First thing I did was weigh them. They are heavier than their rated weight of 14.66 gr. Very few weighted in at 14.7 gr. Most were in the 14.8 to 14.9 range. All my chronograph and accuracy testing today was done with pellets weighing 14.8 gr. I chronographed pellets sized (.217" die), and unsized, deep seated, and flush seated. No real difference noticed between seating depth or sizing vs. unsizing this pellet. I liked sizing though because it was easier not to distort the lead skirt inserting it into the tight bore of the ASP20. The velocity of 830 fps was better than expected and tells me this pellet is quite efficient in this rifle. I have shot the 14.5 gr RWS Superdome pellet that averaged about 825 fps. Or the 14.3 gr Crosman Premiers that average 835 fps. I plan on doing more testing with the heavier pellets ( 14.9 to 15.0 gr ) in this tin of H&N's and sizing with my .220" die.
Enough blabbering and lets talk accuracy with the H&N pellet. Distance was 30ft and pellets were sized and seating just until they snapped in with the ball end of my seating tool. The first group was before resting the butt end of my stock on a bag. Only shot 3 shots before I said " something ain't right here " ! I then shot the 5 shot group on the right taking everything that I learned from Tom Gaylord into account. The good old artillery hold ! This gun will do even better once I can shoot from a comfortable bench instead of two chairs and sitting in a very uncomfortable position. I got to say that I am liking this Sig more and more .
