New pellets from Qiang Yuan

[DonC]

Domed, Streamlined, and pointed. The domes are retailed by Airguns of Arizona weight 9.56. The other weight dome is sold by Pyramid Air weight 8.48.

Their website shows lots of Olympic wins for their wadcutters. I intend to try them soon.

Do have any experience with these Qiang Yuan pellets?

Hi 

I have not tried them yet but I believe they are imported by Predator JSB.

Supposedly they are match grade pellets 

look forward to hearing how they preform for you 

Hope ‘this helps

Long ago, I had some wadcutters made by them that performed well in a Tau-7.

I tried some of the .177 domes recently and they grouped great at 30 yards, consistently around MoA. Molding quality on a par with the best JSB has to offer.

Have switched from JSB premiums to QYS streamlined after a day of comparing in the test tunnel recently.

In both my rifles the streamline grouped tighter than the domed.

Would like to see P.A. carry the 9.56 gr domed so I can try them out for Field Target. I will not pay the outrageous rates that AOA charges for shipping.

My HW100 likes the 9.56 gr streamline over any other pellets, by a significant margin and in my HW44 they're tied with the 10gr jsb.

The domes were just slightly less accurate in my guns. I have a number of friends with various guns who have had similar results with QYS vs JSB as well as streamline vs dome.

Overall I'd say they're at least on par with the best JSB makes and well worth trying.

I have tried both of the domes and streamline 8.48 grain pellets. Both are do well but have more drift in the wind since they are longer than JSB/AA pellets. They are a good cheaper substitute if you cannot get JSB or AA pellets. $11.99/500 tin on Pyramyd Air.

About 10 years ago I used the Qiang Yuan wadcutters. In 10M AP and AR. Very good quality back then when I used them, only they were hard to get and if I recall they may have stopped exporting them so their home club would have a supply?

Made in Czech Republic.

No wonder it’s consistent.

@ chasdicapua - exactly. I put a tin of them into my shopping cart and then when I saw shipping charges were practically double what the damned pellets cost . . . . ummmm - no. Ditto on wishing someone else would carry them - I'd like to try them out. I'm kind of curious re: Tom Holland's .177 slugs too . . .

20 ft/lb limit FT - say for instance you've got to hold over 4 dots for a 53 yard shot running jsb 10.3's . . . would that same shot only be 1 or 2 on the hold over with one of his slugs? Be kind cool if the trajectory flattened out that much. Tom - if you happen to see this?

I got some samples from the QYS booth at the Shot Show. The wadcutters are offered in match and 'olympic' grades;

Predator Intl., who imports jsb's, imports these wadcutters primarily for 10M competition, so they should be available through retail outlets. The other two mentioned above, the dome and the streamline, aren't imported by Predator, I don't know who brings them in. But they are labeled as being made in China;

The QYS pellets I've seen only come in .177 cal. I got a couple tins of pointed pellets as well, but like I say, I haven't tried any yet. Actually, I hadn't shot any of them since I wasn't aware that they were available anywhere here in the US. Why try a new pellet when you can't get more? These were going to be my plinking pellets. Now I'll have to try them out and see how they compare.

Update: finally got a chance to shoot the domed and streamline pellets through my Marauder. Good. But not quite as good as JSB 8.44gr or even the crosman premier heavy's. 

 

[Hasndleman]

I bought some 8.48 Streamlined

They will scare you.

At 35 yards on a bag, with a hw97 it is pellet on pellet on pellet in a 10 shot group.

At times you will think you missed the target, but you didn't.

Tried them in my TX200 same thing. Will out perform the 8.44 JSB hands down.

 

[MattJP]

It's possible their performance will vary by barrel or gun. 

I was excited to try them out this summer, and I loved their finish and feel in the bore. But I kept getting inconsistent fliers with my short-stroked 12 ft/lb TX200. I got very impressive early groupings, but then I also got too many dropped shots - impacts disturbingly lower than POA. I didn't see much difference in wind effect than with 8.4 AA's. This was after three or four sessions. I really wanted them to perform.

I also thought for a while that the QYS wadcutters in the red box shot great in that same TX at 10m, but then this winter I found they were inconsistent. So for now, I've shelved the QYS pellets.

Let us know how they perform for you!
