True, I did shoot them.  They are heavy, but do a good job.  Shot them out of my Escape with a 24" barrel and my hard hitting Disco.  I will have to find the numbers.

They fit in the Disco Feed ramp ?

I have a QB78 that may be perfect for these, I'm waiting to hear your speeds compared to other heavy pellets ? I think if I could get 650-700 out of my QB78, I'm sure these have a tremendous BC... they could be the real deal !

They loaded fine.  Had numbers, but misplaced that info.  If I locate that info, I will post for you.

I may have the perfect .22 cal barrel for these sitting on the shelf, as yet untested.... Sean Pero and I designed one for Mike at TJ's that is 0.217" groove, 0.213" lands, with a 16" twist.... It has been extremely accurate with all the JSB Exacts according to the reports I have seen (nobody tested the 25 gr. AFAIK), and was designed with the faster twist to allow for longer, heavier pellets because we felt they would surely be coming.... I guess I will have to fit this to a gun and get some of these for testing.... A 70 FPE Disco Double repeater should be a very nice gun....

When somebody gets some of these, please measure the overall length and report back....
