Hello everyone,
Normally I sort the Pellets when I am installing them into the magazines. This second Tin of 500 pieces JSB Jumbo Heavy 18.13gr pellets is full of damaged Pellets and I posted a photo of some earlier in this thread. Anyway this morning I decided to load several clips straight from the Tin and even when I saw a bad Pellet that I would go ahead and load into the mag and shoot them as-is, and there were quite a few that really looked ugly. Very little wind this morning so the POI would be the result of the condition of the Pellet. The red star indicates it took more than one shot to hit the 10-Ring and on #22 it took 4 shots.
I originally purchased 5-Tins of these 500 piece JSB pellets and have shot almost all out of this second Tin. So it appears I have a lot of “picking” to do with the remaining three Tins

Hello everyone,
OK time to shoot some more paper targets after a huge Holiday Lunch. Same target that I shot earlier but this time I switched to AA Field Heavy 18gr pellets and I did cull one but after looking at it real close saw that it was OK. Shot a perfect score of 250 and the majority of the hits were well within the 10-Ring.

Hello @igolfat8
You are so correct, and the quality of the JSB is shameful and I am NOT trying to bash JSB. I took my time to inspect each AA pellet before loading them into the Mags ( normally I do not look that closely at each pellet ) but I wanted to have a fair chance of a good score. Now I have 1500 JSB pellets yet to cull through and shoot.
Tim, I hope you and the family have a GREAT Holiday Season.

The BRK Atomic is no benchrest gun! It does have a high shot count and can definitely shoot 10s all day. but center X is hard for this puppy to reach. I still enjoy shooting it because of its high shot count per fill.

Good shooting Ross. How many shots do you get from yours? I get about 30 before I’m off reg on my Atomic.

I get at least 40, maybe close to 50. Mine is set for 700fps and I shoot on high TP setting. I start about 225-230 and usually shoot about 40 shots (2 cards) then hit the compressor so I've never taken it down to reg pressure.

Wow, wish I could get that many shots. I’m at the lowest transfer port setting and shooting Hades at 585. Is yours at the OEM stock settings or have you tweaked the tune? Any idea what your reg is set at?
Is yours the air tube or bottle?

Mine is bone stock settings. I tuned hammer spring till I got 700 fps and have just left it on high transfer port setting. I have no idea what reg is set at - whatever factory setting. 40 shots is high to me cause I only get 10 shots (1 mag) from my HW44 before repumping it. But it only takes 20-22 pump strokes! This Atomic takes over 50 back breaking strokes or a few seconds on the compressor.

I wish I could shoot mine at 700 because I know that’s the speed this gun likes best. However, I did find another sweet spot at 585 using 15.89 domes and Hades. The transfer port really doesn’t gain you anymore shots but does affect the velocity. We bagged 224 flying rats today and I only had two misses and both were all me.

I might be shooting down below factory reg setting since I have no idea what that is. Doesn't seem to affect accuracy much.
