Title: Benji vs exact in 1964 Sheridan
Post by: oldnamvet on November 09, 2015, 12:47:19 PM
I got a couple types of pellets to test out in my Sheridan.  No opportunity to get to the range so I had to be satisfied to whatever distance I could get in my basement.
Comparing the two, it would be hard to differentiate.  If you discount the one slightly high shot with the Benji pellets, you couldn't tell the difference.  I'll have to wait until I get out to where I can have some longer distances to see if I can tell the difference.

Once you can get to where you can stretch it out to 25 - 30 yds you will see that the Exact will have a slight but, significant advantage. At least that has been my experience.

Hey if they both shoot well in your Dan, that's great. Like Bill said, once you stretch her out to a little further distance there may be a show of difference. The JSBs usually do well in most guns, but every rifle is unique.

Also true, I have a late '60s SS and a '70 BS that shoot both equally well.

Just the post I was looking for  ;D, - leaving Friday, pellets comming Friday... :( 

 I just got the regular old style, not Diablos though. G-Squirrels seemed to have gone underground, they were not popping their heads up at all late Oct. ??

Took a nutria with a headshot from 50 lasered yards, using a '64 Dan, a JSB and 8 pumps.

The JSBs outperform everything else I've tried in my '67 Blue Streak, including the "Benjamins".

Same here, but maybe not as radical as an advantage. The JSB's shoot super tight at 25 yards, pretty much one hole. The old cylinders shoot about nickel sized groups, maybe a tad under.
