Based on MY OWN experience with JTS: Travis is always full of baloney. He makes promises that he never keeps, like ballistic data for the pellets. I usually find that the JTS pallets are more consistent than JSB but I can never get ballistics data from them. Same issue with JTS Airacuda Max. Lets of problems and complete denial from Travel et al. This has been MY experience and my own opinion.The problem with pellets at higher speeds is not that they become unstable, it is that they become gyroscopically too stable allowing yaw to build up, as they are unable to turn to follow the trajectory and thus give larger group sizes. Couple this with the rapid loss in forward speed giving greater stability growth, and then you have problems.
Numbers are great.....I suppose. But never forget the target tells the tale.
Thanks,. I am familiar with all of that BUT I can't get any ballistic data from JTS
In .22 caliber for AEA 21.9 and JTS 22.07.
They are NOT the same although they appear similar.
In recent testing with an older FX Slug A liner 700mm at 990 fps.
AEA BC 0.063 GA
JTS BC 0.059 GA.
Both very accurate at 100 yards but I’d give the nod to the AEA. The JTS flew about 10 to 15 fps faster than the AEA with the same tune, which tells me the AEA head diameter is slightly larger than the JTS.
FYI, both the AEA and JTS copies of the 25.4 grain JSB RD Monsters are not nearly as accurate as their lighter brothers. Funny enough, the BC of the 25.4 grain versions is less than the 22 grain pellets
