JTS 18gr vs JSB 20.83gr KO slugs

[Dairyboy]

I was testing out the KOs to see how they compared at accuracy and drift in some wind today. Shot at a dirt bank we had about 100yds away. 3 shots with the KOs then 3 with the JTS. Group wise actually both did very well I'd say under an inch shooting out the door of my truck. KOs were about half the drift. But what surprised me is I saw the backs of every KO. They opened up so well in that dirt it's comical compared to the JTS they got some hard lead lol. Only found one of them but literally looks like I just pushed it through with a cleaning rod lol it went in about an inch and a half deep into the dirt.

Hey that's pretty damn good expansion and accuracy for just shooting around!

Amazing expansion, but even more amazing is, "...under an inch shooting out the door of my truck..."

What did you shoot them out of?

Yeah I've had lots of practice lol have a sandbag I rest on the window sill. I can get surprisingly steady that way. No where near as steady as a proper setup but I'm not going to lie sometimes I feel I can shoot better like this than properly setup with a tripod and rear bag. Also the gun being extremely accurate doesn't hurt.

Dillon, what a difference in EXPANSION plus less drift! That's a beautiful stock on your Gen1! Excellent shooting!

I feel you on this, 60% of my shooting now is from a car window. It used to be closer to 80%. What better protection from the elements than a 1.5+ ton vehicle lol.

Nice! Make sense that the .216 shoots were out of that rifle, from my experience cz barrels like .216

Ok so I changed the tune on my Vet. Previously was shooting 920fps with JTS 18gr which put the 20.83gr Lights at 870fps and 20.83gr KOs at 820fps. I bumped it up to 950fps with 18gr which puts the 20.83gr Lights at 900fps and 20.83gr KOs at 850fps. I'm curious to see the groupings after the change. If it's worse I'll back it back down but we'll see.
