How Much do the JSB .25 Exact King Diabolo Pellets "really weigh"? I know...

Thanks Tom. Enjoying the process. Appreciate you blazing the trail for us. Here I go down the rabbit hole!!! HOOKED.

I shot the sorted pellets today.....
In the world of experimentation there is a term that I think fits my results.....simply......inconclusive, at least at 30yards.

Let me summarize my process. Two guns were used, .25Bobcat and .25 Vulcan. I grabbed three tins of the weight sorted tins. <25.1gr,..... 25.4gr,...... >25.6gr.
I filled my Bobcat .25 to 220Bar and shot off 5 rounds to get the regulator adjusted to the new fill. Point of Aim (POA) is the bulls eye (BE)
I started with the <25.1gr, which is the lightest category that I sorted.

The results are the center bull in the pic. The three shots were slightly above the BE, so I thought hey we might be on to something here.

Next three shots are with the Bobcat using the pellets that weighed in excess of 25.6grains.

First shot was below the BE, ok this seems to be promising, these are the heaviest pellets out of two tins....then the next two shots were high....bummer blew that theory.

I shot a couple more groups with mixed results but the results are still inconclusive with these two pellet groups of the lightest and the heaviest.
So I then used the Bobcat to shoot the middle of the group pellets which are the 25.4grain.

These results were nice to see and somewhat repeatable since I have more of these pellets than I do of the two extreme weights of pellets.
This particular group is 5 shots all in the same ragged hole using the 25.4grain


Then I decided to get the Vulcan out and try the same group tests with it. Only problem is I am out of the pellets in excess of 25.6grain, so I can only shoot the pellets with a weight less than 25.1grain and the pellets that weigh 25.4 grain.

First up with the Vulcan is the 25.4grain. I did shoot 5 shots before this group to get the gun warmed up. Pictured is a group of 5 shots. I also filled it to 220bar prior to the shooting.


I then loaded up the less than 25.1grain pellets and shot 5 in this group. 4 are pretty much in the same hole with one to the right.

So I'm thinking the Vulcan really likes these 25.1grain pellets, so then I load up the 25.4 and shoot 5 shots in the pic below.

So that is pretty much 4 in the same hole and one just outside to the left.
I won't bore you with the pics of those shots between the 25.1 and the 25.4 as they pretty much repeat the two examples above. I am now out the two extreme weighted groups, so until I sort more pellets I can't get back to my experimentation, but I must say I am happy with the Vulcans groups and would say they are as good as they need to be. The Bobcat is going to require some more experimentation and maybe who knows, I might find a perfect weight of pellet that it really, really likes? I hope so. I will continue shooting these sorted pellets thru these two guns and the FX streamline, if anything interesting happens I will post.

My question to you more experienced sorters is: "Does sorting head size and weight, make a marked difference in your POA vs POI and if so at what distances and what weights and head sizes do you prefer?" Thanks guys!!
