Getting great accuracy at 50y+ is no small feat. So I’m not blaming the pellet production and I’m only half suspecting the pellet design. My rifles have a bit of a pellet stability problem shooting JSB 13.43s as past 40y.@degeesman I was hoping that accuracy was going to be there 50-75 yards at least. It seems like the machining cost differences will be a large determine factor coupled with the performance of the pellets produced that can make or break this product.
@dgeesaman This is precisely what I admire about your endeavor. I think this is the closest I've followed this type of testing and I'm learning a decent amount. I'm also not familiar with .177 and .20 caliber ballistics. So it sounds like an acceptable range for .177 pellets is around 40-50 yards before accuracy starts falling apart. Am I understanding this correctly? I hope I didn't come across like I was criticizing the pellet design here.Getting great accuracy at 50y+ is no small feat.

As we all know, it’s academically ideal to only change one variable at a time so that differentiating factors are clear. The reality is that there are usually several important factors and when ultimate precision is the goal, all of them can matter.
