Taipan Veteran .22 JSB 18gr. Vs. JSB Hades

Beach-gunner · Sep 4, 2019

I shot these groups today after polishing my barrel with JB bore paste last night. Target distance was 25yds, targets are dime circumference. I really don’t see a difference at 25 yds between the two pellets. Gun was rested on 2 sand bags from kitchen table, shooting through window (raised lol) to pellet trap in back yard.

Nice groups.

Rocko · Sep 4, 2019

So, did the JB improve your groups ?

Peskådot671 · Sep 4, 2019

Repeat the test and extend the distance to 50 yards and 100 yards. If you're using it for hunting within your range of 25 yards then I say those groups are awesome. BTW, what airgun?

Rocky,

These groups are slightly smaller than previous groups before using the JB. I really want to stretch out to 50, 75 and 100 to see if groups are any better. I’m shooting these groups with my Taipan Veteran .22 shorty (compact). I primarily use this for squirrel hunting in forested woodlands of Alabama. Best group I had at 100yards before JB was 1.50 inches (10 shot group), so mIm anxious to see if I can improve. I really have to pick a good day when testing for groups at 75 and 100 yds....no wind.

Most of my shots while hunting are less than 60 to 65 yards.

Beach-gunner,

I see your comparing 18.14gr round nose to the 15.89gr hades but have you done any testing the 15.89gr round nose to the 15.89gr hades?

Thanks for your time John C

Do the same test at 50 yards... many pellets shoot well at 25. At 50 you’ll see which are more accurate.

25 yards is to close. You need to stretch it out like others have said. 50-100 would tell the tale.

Beach-gunner · Sep 26, 2019

I tested out to 50 and results were still very good. Squirrel season is now in and been hunting 4 times got 8 on first hunt (limit in Alabama), 5 second hunt, 4 third hunt and 8 on the fourth. When I shot at 50 it was just to confirm that the pellet would stay accurate, then hunting season came in. I will do agin and post the results...going to Auburn football game this weekend, so will probably be next week.

Elbowgrease and Leon,

I was able to stretch out to 50 yards today with the Taipan Veteran to test JSB Hades and JSB 18.13 grain pellets.

First 4 pictures are of JSB Hades 15.89 grain at 50 yds, 230 bar fill shooting from sand bags, 10 shots per mag...2 mags

second 4 pictures are of JSB 18.13 grain at 50 yds, 230fill shooting from sand bags, 10 shots per mag....2 mags

Wind blowing 5 to 10 mph at 10:00 (left to right 135 degrees).
