Over the last year, I have tried about every slug made from all of the manufacturer's looking for the absolute perfect combination in my .22 Ken Hicks tuned RW HP. In the end, none of them ever shoot as well as the JSB Jumbo Monster 25.39 pellets. Each time after investing in more slugs and giving them a try, I always say "never again" until someone comes out with the next greatest slug promise, and here I go again.
Today was no different as I looked to practice social distancing utilizing the 100 yard indoor range I am so fortunate to have. As you can see from the targets below, the 18 yard sight-in target with the latest NSA 20.2 and 17.5 grain slugs shot .52" and .70" C-t-C groups respectively (see below). While not shown, the RW shoots the JSB Jumbo Monster Redesigned pellets into basically a single hole at this distance.
At 50 yards, there is no contest either, as the JSB pellets shoot one large ragged hole, while the slugs open up to well over an inch in each case.
I didn't even bother measuring or showing the 100 yard group results. The slugs opened up to +2.5" while the pellets shot a terrific group of 1.27" C-t-C, about the same results I have gotten over and over.
Bottom line, I now have a vault of left over .22 slugs that don't perform nearly as well in at least my rifle as do the Jumbo Monster Redesigneds. Save your money and use it on more pellets.....
