F,A,P/ JSB JUMBOS/ JSB HADES

[bigmac 97kt 13,796]

Mitch (VMAN) kindly sent me some fap,s up to try in the crown now iv had a few problems at home lately

so have not been able to get out and test them out to 50 60 yrds

so only been able to test them out to 18yrds at home today

And if there as good out to 60 yrds ill be a happy chappy

all pellets are in a 5p group or under ,

The hades are good at 18yrds BUT AND A BIG BUT they open up over distance like a scatter gun

to a point ill not use them to shoot vermin in case i end up wounding them ,

Now you all know i love the jsb jumbos all ways have but im going to try the fap,s out to distance soon

Cheers Mitch for your kindness mate

Hi Jimmy,

           Not sure if this helps you any but might wet your appetite a little with the F.A.P pellets ?

           Credit where its due, Mitch also put me onto the FAP .22,13.43 g , 5.52. and the JSB Exact Express 4.52, 7.87g ,which as you know, I use exclusively ,all the time. 

           Well mate, here's the FAPS .22 cal through the HW 100 KS at 38 yds and at a dead 50 yards finalising her calibration.

       All under a 5p coin " ish " an at sub 12 in the 100 performed 

 

            629 ft/sec - 11.8 ft/lbs - yes I watch her power like a hawk.

                       atb Mark.

I saw an episode of 'Ted's holdover' the other day where he had been testing the Hades in his FX rifles which as he is in the US, his rifles are full power and he was saying how the Hades is a game changer producing very good groups. Perhaps the performance is different Jimmy in fac.

It's a pity they are not available in .25, I want to see what they are like at fac levels.

I have tried hades Phil in my FX crown FAC 

great to about 50 -60 yards but after that they opened up a lot

All i know is there ok out to 25 28 yrds then they open up

and as for the cross in the tip jsb jumbos open up and flatten more on impact

the hades tend to keep there shape

I think they will be like the jsb heavy's and travel strait through the vermin

If you were to lay in wait for them where you could set your distance they would be fine spot on in fact

i may get out tonight to test the fap,s

if im lucky lol

oh well, I won't wait in antisipation in that case.

Jimmy, do you want some JSB RS to try as well because if I remember correctly, I was going to bring you some to Doncaster but as we didn't meet up, I can send you some. I don't know if they are the same as FAP but I do know that in my old Wildcat .22, the FAP didn't produce good groups but the RS certainly did and I use them in my 110k to good effect so let me know matey.

FAP are made by JSB but different dies , same as AA have their own dies but made by JSB 

[bigmac 97kt 13,796]

Out to 45 yrds

not good at first mind had to settle my self down to much going on in my head

but the little targets had two mags in them

fap,s are ok in her

but this may be my last as im thinking of letting the crown go and stepping back for a while

iv had enough

thanks for the offer Phil its very kind of you but i dont need them any more

my health is not to good any more and i cant justifie keeping a gun like this sitting in the cabinet

for weeks or months ,
