Yeah 14.3, I'm trying to do one pellet at a time now. What I really need to do is to look for the optimal power setting / speed for each pellet while getting the best accuracy. But I have very limited time, 3 kids, and a wife, not to mention job, meetings, house, etc... But I will do what I can and keep posting as I go.

yes I understand as iv only shot a few through the chrony. 16 air arms 16 jsb and 18 jsb seems the 18 are the best up to 50 yards as my yards not big enough to go farther out. and the 18 are at 860 and 16 jsb are mid 890 .

JSBs are probably shooting the best through mine. If you see the short report on them above, even a bad tin was a ragged hole at 30. But I want to see what else works as well. and get excited when I can use something as affordable as the CPHPs

I'm very impressed with these numbers I got today. Please keep in mind, this stuff is fairly new to me and I'm still learning. I shot other pellets today, but took full data on the JSB 16s only. At 30 yards, these are pretty much hole on hole. Will continue to post on different pellets as I go. Thanks.

That's no challenge lol - break out the daisy wadcutters. The ones that come in the little tubes.
And wow - nice string. Looks like it's breakin in just fine.

I tried getting the data for the JSB 18s today. But things were just not lining up in the PM. Maybe mañana.

Groups were probably less than 1/2" with the 18s Dough. I was just having technical difficulties with chrony, etc.

great that's about mine also at little longer range haven't tries those 14.3 yet kind of wondering how they'll do yours shoots the 16 better than mine maybe the speed little to high on mine

Try playing with the power a bit. Keep in mind that mine was tunned by GA, one of the things did was change the factory Spring. What FPS are your 16s going out at? Also bear in mind I'm only shooting at 30 yards. That suits my needs just fine, but if you are shooting longer range, then that may explain that.

Is the rifle discussed in this thread regulated? Available in .177?
sorry for the very basic questions-- just couldn't find much info so far re: the mini carbine on the interwebs...

Yes, it is regulated. No, it's not available in .177 (yet) there is some good discussions already started here on the Mini. Do a search. Mick and Dough have one and have posted.

About those JSB 15.89s
I put my crosshairs right at the tip of this S. This is a single shot into that tip.
These are 3 shots into a piece of 2x6 I use as a backstop. I aimed at the black dot to the right. All three shots fell into a 5/16 group.
Needless to say the JSB 16gr are by far the best shooting pellets I have put through the Mini so far. The chrony numbers are also the best I have seen since I have been Testing pellets. These will probably be my go to pellets when absolute precision is required, followed by the CPHPs for general pesting and plinking. If penetration is needed I think the H&N hornets will do a fine job as well as the Polymags. Will try and do chrony strings on those when I can and continue to post here. If you own a Mini, and have a favorite pellet, let me know to see if mine likes it as well. Cheers!

OK. More testing on those 25gr JSBs. Here is the Mini doing it’s thing. 3 shots, 30 yards, same hole. No Chrony data. Lighting not favorable.

Very cool. Waiting on my shipment of those new pellets to arrive. I actually wouldn't have thought to try them in the mini since it's a little lower on power. I was thinking something that could shoot around 40-45 FPE.
Out of the mini, they probably are only flying @ 720-740 fps.

Yeah Mick, I would have loved to have more data and time to test. I don’t know about power or speed, but they seem accurate enough. I tried the 34gr Beasts too, but they don’t even group. Don’t even know what gun would have enough humph for those. I will update as I can. Have some interesting data to share on POI.
