H&N,JSB Comparison, FX Royale 400 .177


After some interesting results at my local range with JSB Exacts and Exact Heavies where I was having 3-4 from every mag go through the target either sideways or spiral wildly, then miss altogether I decided to trial them indoors while I had the opportunity, 15 metres is the maximum distance I can go. All groups were shot from left to right, Royale's power wheel set at 2, approx. 800fps, bipod with rear bag for rest, starting with the H&N Baracuda Match, 4.51, H&N Field Target Trophy 4.51 and 4.52, JSB Exact and Exact Heavy 4.52, all pellets straight from their tins, I found it interesting that the JSB's had a different POI to the others, aiming point for all groups was the red dot but for me it confirmed that my particular FX prefers a 4.51 headsize pellet. Target #11 has 10 shots just because it was fair dinkum fun watching those Bara's go into 1 hole even if its only 15 metres and target#15 is some RWS R10 4.50 headsize, surprisingly the best group I have managed with these.
