Anyone here in USA using them for FT? Just curious - ( .177 ) How do they compare to AA / JSB 10.3's? I just googled a little, AoA has them for sale. A little lighter at just under 10...
QYS pellets? The Brits on the other side of the pond giddy over them

I use the 9.56grain streamline domes in my 0.177 HW100. They're the ones with a slightly pointed dome similar to h&n baracuda match. In that gun they are unbelievable. Far better than anything else.
In my HW44 they're tied with the AA 10.3 grainers as it's favourite pellet.
I have some shooting buddies that have tried the lighter 8 grain domes and they found them very similar to jsb 8.44's. Some of those guys tried the streamlines and they they mostly ranged from similar to better than JSB, with only one gun hating them for whatever reason.
Overall they're very well made and consistency and finish are exceptional. Bottom line is they're at least as good as JSB, and better in some guns. Might be they're currently pushing out lower volume batches of their sporting pellets than H&N and jsb, allowing for better quality? Just a guess really. Either way I bought a ton of them. Well worth getting some to try at least. And the streamlines are the ones I'd try first.

Macros - thanks.
I just went to purchase a tin from AoA then got sticker shocked at their shipping costs .... ummmmm - no. I'm going to try them out but will have to find them somewhere that will not charge me more than double the cost if the pellets in shipping fees. Aiy yai yai .... (lol) {sigh}

I have shot one tin of the domed QYS 8.48 grain pellets. They are good but are longer than JSB pellets so they have more wind drift. I am now trying the streamlined slightly pointed 8.48 grain version now. Looks to have the same characteristics so far. Good alternative to JSB/AA pellets if you run out. Pyramyd Air has them in stock and cheaper by $1 than AA.

@KDog has said before that he really likes the QYS pellets. He might be able to offer some thoughts
