Q:

Big Boy vs Kodiak and JSB Exact Jumbo’s

Hi Ya all, I ran some velocity and accuracy tests today in my Talon SS.
Mind you the talon has a 70 gram hammer and an 18″ barrel.
The power wheel is set at 10:8 and the top hat is set at .75.
Here is what I got useing 5 shot strings.

Kodiaks 21.1 gr. tank filled @ 2900psi
shot fps
1) 839
2) 828
3) 829
4) 831
5) 831 final tank pressure 2800psi
5 shot group at 25 yrds 1/4″
6) 830
7) 829
8) 827
9) 826
10) 824 final tank pressure 2700psi.

Predator Big Boy 26.2 gr. tank filled @ 2900psi
shot fps
1) 794
2) 790
3) 789
4) 788
5) 787 final tank pressure 2800psi
5 shot group at 25yrds 3/8″
6) 783
7) 783
8) 777
9) 777
10) 776 final tank pressure 2700psi

JSB Exact Jumbo 15.8gr tank fill pressure 2900psi
shot fps
1) 920
2) 914
3) 913
4) 912
5) 910 final tank pressure 2800psi
5 shot group @ 25yrds 1/2″
6) 908
7) 908
8) 907
9) 905
10) 902 final tank pressure 2650psi
The JSB’s fit pretty loosley in the barrel and I believe that is the reason I used more air for these 10 shots than I did with the Kodiaks and the Big Boy’s. The Kodiaks and Big Boys fit the barrel tighter.

Mind the group size is up to the shooter and I’m sure some of you can shrink the size down a bit.

I think the Predator Big Boy pellets are a good pellet and they hit harder than the Kodiaks. They group just about as well. The only drawback is the cost. At 8 cents a shot for the Big Boy’s I think the Kodiaks are my kind of pellet.

Personally I think the Big Boys hit the scene too late.

The EunJin 32gr outperform Kodiaks in my .22 (24″) barrel. I was kinda shocked by that. I was able to push them around 925fps with a 90gm hammer setup, and they group consistently around 1/2″ at 50yds.

I still went back to my .25 cal though, LOL.

How accurate are the new JSB big boy pellets? I have been looking at trying them if they are accurate.

Good Info. RHIGHZ THANKS 😀

To add a little:

not averaging, just using the #5 shot from each string as “average”

FPE comparison

Big Boy 36.04fpe

Kodiac 32.4fpe

JSB 29.06fpe

Nice job documenting.
