Just got a batch of the new JSB Beast pellets

[Habanero69er]

Do the Beasts fit the Rainstorm mags?

Not sure about RS-IIs, but they fit easily in the RS-I mag. You see the difference in length between the 32gr Eun Jin & the Beast, well the Eun Jins just fit, barely.

Do the Beasts fit the Rainstorm mags?

They might, they look to be quite a bit shorter than the EunJin 32gr

If they do, it might be a great pellet for the Rainstorm II in .22 cal

[Habanero69er]

They're 10.68-10.7mm. So if you have an RS-II, measure the magazine. The magazine for an RS-I is 12mm deep.

My .22 is a 1

A guy on the yellow reviewed them, the Beasts have  a .132 bc!

A bc of .132 at 21 yards is extremely high. Wonder what it is at 50 & 75 & 100.

If that is accurate this pellet hae literally broke the mold for whats to be expected from a skirted projectile & done so by a very wide margin. Its performance would be comparable to shooting cast bullets.

I will have to order some before I go to the range in the next week or two to try in my RS II .22

I'd like to see performance of these in a Sumatra long gun.

I had just a few minutes to shoot a few Beasts over the chrony. Here's what I came up with @ 2yds:

1) 783.8
2) 792.9
3) 796.3
4) 800.3
5) 805.1
average fps: 795.7
average fpe: 47.75

I tried to do a BC calculation, but my 27yd chrony wouldn't cooperate. I was able to only get 3 shoots to register @ 27yds. If I take my high reading @ 2yds & my high reading @ 27yds, I come up with a Ballistic Coefficient = 0.176868

Those readings are just a bit suspect at best.

The Sectional Density is 0.100.... I would be shocked if the BC was even that number, let alone higher....

Agreed! 
I'll try again later today. Yesterday the sun was shining directly across the chrony windows & was probably the reason I couldn't get an accurate reading at 27yds.

[Habanero69er]

Has anyone noticed if the Beasts seem to have a different lube than the usual JSB graphite-like lube used on most of their pellets?
Yesterday before trying to come up with a BC rating, I weighed several pellets to make sure I was shooting consistent weighing pellets. The Beasts were very slippery, but didn't leave that usual gray film on my finger tips.

I wonder what they would do in my Condor SS ?

Only one way to find out.

I get it later this week, I think on Friday, maybe Saturday :- ) within an hour of picking her up the scope will be installed as will a sling, light bipod and maybe a few other accessories.

How do these compare overall to the JSB "redesigned" pellets?

Tad LATE on this thread ...
JSB came out with the design this thread started talking about back in "16" and have come out again with the redesign which by what we have reading many times is appearing to be better yet while also being able to be shot faster w/o giving up accuracy.  1000 fps many are shooting these redesigns.

Thank you Scott, good to know. The Beasts may be too heavy for most of my guns to shoot anyway...although I do have one Avenger 

[oneshot61]

This may be helpful. At around 4 minutes into the video he gets into bc measurements.

[JungleShooter]

This guy did three BC tests in total (calc. with the GA model in ChairGun):

32FPE @ 31y:  BC = 0.02235FPE @ 50y:  BC = 0.02249FPE @ 32y:  BC = 0.027

I'd love to see some test results from a Labradar...! 

Anyone?!  😊
