Pretty interesting test! Like you said at the end I am not sure my OCD will allow me to use them in any serious testing but I definitely need to get better at keeping them for quick chronograph tests or backyard fun
I basically done this same test out of my Crown Mkii with .22 cal 18.15 JSB Heavies mkii....I had purchased a few tins online but when they arrived, 3 of the 4 tins were damaged and lots of the pellets inside as well. After sorting thru and seperating good from "bad" I tried them just to see.....And both shot very similar to each other. + or - a few.....
I would be very tempted to try and catch the bent skirt pellets in a fabric trap, maybe from a couple of pairs of old denim jeans. I have a suspicion that the 100 bar+ launch pressure instantly reforms the the skirt area. It probably changes the actual profile of a pellet anyway, whether it be a perfect example or a bent one at the time of loading into the breach. Karl..
@@johnvanberrgem286 I have used soap bars before. Fabric slows the pellet where soap tends to just stop the pellet. All I do is hang the fabric as if it were drying on the line which tends to steer the pellet in a steady arc, ultimately just relatively slowly dropping to the ground intact. You do get some interesting patterning on the dome of the pellet from the fabric but the skirts are generally as fired.
I have had good results with smk spitfire domes which quite often have bent skirts, I can only guess that because the lead is fairly soft that with a blast of air behind them they sort themselves out….
Good test, thanks. I’ve found that with minor skirt deformation, the air spreads them out, especially with higher reg pressures.
The boy is back in town! Good to see you again. Greets from GERMANY
Good to see you again.
Pretty interesting test!

I think I have thrown away way too many pellets.
Thanks for the video and nice to see you back.

Use soapbars to catch the pellet works great.

Gert! Does the skirts not perhaps flair open again in the barrel due to the air pressure from behind? Ek vra maar net?
Korrek, hulle maak oop tot op 'n punt
Good test....thanks
Excellent

Damaged head. Bad shot. But the same happens with hunting pellets. Not the best aerodynamics.
Een fijn weekend gewenst gert 😉👍🇳🇱
Velen dank mijnheer
Ik zie je overal waar luchtdruk is! Groet'n uut🇳🇱! 😊
