Got three big tins of the new JSB .25 King Heavies 33.95gr pellets and shot a couple magazines.First, the skirts are huge and difficult to load. I mangled a few trying to stuff them in. Second, at 25 yards they appear to be more accurate than any other pellet I have. Max distance I can get in my yard is about 35 yards and that's pushing it.I really didn't try hard for the best group and did not have a steady rest. I suspect if I had a comfortable and steady rest I could just get a 3/8" or better group. The dozen shots were at mid power.Sure wish they weren't so flipping hard to load. Fighting a gut issue today and just don't feel like pumping, otherwise I'd continue shooting at my max distance and see how well the pellets group.Steveoh
If you ever want to get rid of them tins give me a shout
Like I have been saying long ago, I do not know why they changed the formula, if is not broke don't fix it. I can push them at 960fps with a crazy low ES....it hurts my heart that they will not fit right.
I think I'd have to hand deliver to you when you are sitting in a blind waiting for a little piggy. Wink, wink, nudge, nudge. I think I have a fix. I just load up a magazine with pellets nose down. Force them through with a prod, and turn the magazine over and poke them out. Now they drop in just fine and dandy. Of course I haven't shot them yet to test if accuracy remains.SteveohQuote from: Nomadic Pirate on June 22, 2015, 09:39:23 PMIf you ever want to get rid of them tins give me a shout
The next size down work perfectly also. These group a little better for me. Then I've got rat snipper slugs that fall through the magazine and jam up the works. Need to rig up a single shot tray for them, or pay someone to slot the magazine and o-ring it.I sure do like this Sumatra. I mean, LOVE my Sumatra. Was all set to buy a 909s, but to tell you the truth this Sumatra is so much fun and versatile, that I really don't need a big bore right now. Can't hunt hogs or big game in California anywho.

So Steve, you've only shot these at mid power so far correct?
