Colibri pellet weights and range.
So i have been shooting the jsb 18.1 pellets out of my colibri with great results but i wanted to put it out there and see what others are shooting and the kind of range/accuracy you are getting? I have been toying with the idea of moving up to a H&N 21 grain pellet and slowing down my speed a bit to try and stretch how far i can group. Right now im shooting at about 888 f/s and can get a nice 1.2 inch group at 100-115 yards. Best shot to date was a ground squirrel at 142 but when target shooting and reviewing footage i sometimes get flyers that seam to just go way off target. Could this be a speed thing, a bad pellet or something else? Not sure if i am asking to much from a bullpup 22 to group well on 3 inch targets at 150. So with that in mind i wanted to see what others have to say on the matter and if i should try and get more out of it or just be happy with where it is at?
Thanks :5:

Steel try waiting 10 seconds between your shots then report back. Bet it’s going to surprise you

This is on my 50 yard range in the back. I had a little wind that day so its not as good as it could have been with a steady rest and no wind.
Do you have any pics of your groups to share with us?
I’m getting 904 with a 5 fps deviation on a 10 shot string from the 18.1 JSB
I would say leave the gun as is. Test some diffenent pellets and see if you can get lucky. I personally would be over the moon with 1.2 inch groups @ almost 100m :whistle:
Are you getting 888fps with 18.1gr or with the 21gr?
nothing hu well thats a bummer.

I understand the wait 5+ sec between shoots to let the reg settle and refill to max. Im not saying im unhappy with the gun, im very happy. Just seeing how much more i can squeeze out of it at long range. Again this was with a 5mph bucking winds and i have done better on calm days. Just putting the feelers out there if other people have done any extensive testing on different pellets with other weights and maybe done some crony testing to get the true BC of each for the best shooter. I have done a bit and keep coming back to the JSB 18.1 and wanted to see if others had come to the same conclusion and if not why?
