JSB Pellet Test - Part II - Daystate Redwolf - Which is the best pellet for this gun? 

I too have a Daystate Redwolf (.22 caliber), but my experience with JSB pellets has been dismal. At 25 meters, five shot groups measure roughly .5 inches, center to center. At 50 meters, they spiral out of control, making it nearly impossible to hit even the large 12" diameter target consistently. I have tested a variety of pellet weights from JSB, and all of them perform poorly at distances over 25 meters. The real shock came when I tested the cheapest pellets I could find in that caliber, which were Crossman 13.4 grain hollow points, sold in a tin of 500 for just over $6.00 at Walmart. At that low a price, I wasn't expecting much, but the results were nothing short of miraculous. At 25 meters, all my 5 shot groups made one ragged hole, with the smallest group measuring 0.15" center to center. At 50 meters, my best group measured 0.37" center to center. There was a lot of wind on the range that day, so my three other 50 meter groups weren't as good, ranging in size from .75" to 1.25", center to center. Switching power levels from medium to high seemed to make no difference in accuracy at these ranges. I have no explanation as to why my Redwolf is performing so poorly with the most expensive match pellets, while doing so well with the cheapest bulk pellets. I've spoken with several people at Airguns of Arizona about this, but they tell me they've never heard anything like it before.

Nice one boys!! Good to see you guys having fun with the pellet testing. Next time forget flipping a coin, why not take the x2/3 pellets you can’t decide on and shoot a group of 5/10 pellets at 30, 40, 50 and even 60 yards and see how each ones does. There will quite likely be a more clear cut decision to be made. Personally, I’ve gone from 4.50 JSB exact 8.44 in my HW110K.177, to the 4.52 JSB Heavy 10.34. The reason being I get a lot more hitting power on the bunnies I’ve been tasked with bashing. I also think the Heavys (sic) group better out at 40+ yards. Anyway, it’s always good to see you guys having fun. Go well! Rich.

8.44 for target & 10.34 for hunting in my hw100 nothing else comes close. Good tests lads from another devon shooter keep it up .

Nice shooting, very good consistency with your trigger pull is not easy. I have been using jsb heavy for the last year in 4.52 and have been having good results ( for me anyway ), several of my club members use them too. Last week I lent someone my tin of heavies to try in his r10 and his gun shot well with them too. Professor Ballinger often seems to have the edge out of you both, always good to watch how you both shoot.

How can you test these air rifles when the table is moving about all the time interesting videos but do yourselves a favour and make a proper table to take the rest

How are you finding JSB availability at the moment. I think I might have to find a second choice manufacturer as the JSB Exact 4.52 which my Redwolf’s like are getting hard to get at the moment.
