JSB - Red vs. Gray Label

[cactusrat]

I did a little test today using the JSB 18.1g pellets with the new red label and the old gray label. Both red and gray label were 5.52 mm heads.

Target was at 30 yards and each group is ten (10) shots. The Daystate Huntmans blew the pellets down range.

 I also tested some JSB 18.1 with 5.53 mm heads with a gray label. I give you one clue, column C is the 5.53 mm heads groups. I pulled on one shot in the bottom group.

Column A top group is .55 of an inch. Bottom group is .54 of an inch.

Column B top group is .69 of an inch. Bottom group is .75 of an inch.

Column C top group is .55 of an inch. Bottom group is .57 of an inch (not counting the one I pulled).


Okay boy and girls, which column (A or B) was the red label?

Conventional wisdom would lead me to believe that the red tin is B and grey is A.  BUT, I would prefer if A was red and B was grey LOL

A was the red label.

The Huntsman is the only one I have tested the new labeled pellets out of so for, but they are looking promising so far.

Why, have you got a lot of the grey tins? lol

After this, glad I bought a Daystate Huntsman XL and 3 tins of the JSB 18.1 g RED labels!   

Thanks for your Test!

For me, the Huntsman and JSB 18s have been a good combo. Since this test was done (the gun was still new), the huntsman has broken in and is shooting tighter groups.  With the red label 5.53 mm the 30 yard groups average is .31 inch with .25 inch being the best group.

The red label 5.52 mm are averaging .53 inch at 50 yards with the best group being .36 inch.

I hope your Huntsman is as good or even better than mine. They are definitely a keeper.
