Title: What's the best ammo for Bluestreaks??
Post by: airkrazy on February 08, 2015, 09:20:54 PM
I recently obtained a older bluestreak with the rocker style safety. Looking to get some ammo and I'm not sure which to choose.

both of mine like JSB exact, they are slower with the discovery cylindrical pellets but they are still fairly accurate with them

All three of mine like the Benjamin's and the EunJin heavies.

Results of 2 pellet types with mine;

JSB's = a little better accuracy than Benjamins .

Benjamins = Shoot pretty well, too. Penetrates better than JSB's .

I guess I didn't comment on the Benjis. As everyone has already said, mine perform fairly good with them. I find the JSB easier to get and a little less expensive considering PA's deals, discounts, fast and low cost shipping and un-matched packing.

I think that the slightly better accuracy with the JSB's may be due to their consistent size. Every one on them seems to fit exactly the same way & tightness into my Sheridans. Some Benjamins do not.

I've bee trying the Eun Jin Sam Yang heavy .20's in my rocker Sheridan, and it seems to like them. They hit hard, too.

I've been doing some accuracy testing for group size at 10 meters with our various air guns as a winter project.

Our 70s and early 80s Dans have done the best, so far with the Benjamins, which are a noticeable improvement over the old original yellow box Sheridans. Tried the H&N Match with great expectations, but to my surprise, my two Sheridans did NOT like them. Did much better with the Benjamins. Guess that's why you really do have to try different pellets. Based on other comments, will have to give the JSBs a try.

JSB for shooting & light pesting and Eunjin for serious hunting. LOVE THEM!
