Yep wait till you got a bit more space and let the longer range decide.
I found that AA heavy and exact were both really accurate in the sig but the just seed to preform that bit better at distance. Having said that I brought a tin of exact which sits unopened as emergency back up. |

Finally got hold of some Jumbo Exact 15.89grainers in .22
The Exacts have worked for me all my rifles so I decided to test them against the Hades that the CFR is currently zeroed with. Can only shoot a max of 12.5m in my garden, but it gives a good idea of what the pellets are doing. Had a 3 shot one hole group with the exacts, not bad đđ» but also had a 3 shot one hole group with the hades đ so not sure if itâs worth changing and rezeroing. Think Iâll just leave well enough alone and stick with the hades đ€ |

Just changed scopes on the CFR. Fitted a NS AirKing 4-12x40AO, because the Nikon didnât have mil dots.
Re-zeroed it at home today, can only get 10m in the garden, but Iâve zeroed it 2mil dots low at 10m. Will need to check it at 20 and 30, and maybe further if I can hold a tight enough group. I know itâs only 10m, but those Hades 15.89gr are looking nice and tight so far⊠|

Oh yeah, theres those too.. Extra heavy. In .177, i'd go for the Exact Heavy in a NZ 'high power' rifle - usually 16-18 footpound. I used them in a .177 Cometa Fusion and it could group nearly as well as my TX200. Anything over "heavy" id say is more designed for high power PCP, you will start to lose efficiency in spring / piston rifles

Ooh⊠never heard of the exact RS, Iâll have to look them up, but just out of curiosity, I donât think the extra light is the way to go for this CFR (or me, I tend to lean more towards the heavier for caliber side).
Is the âexact monster re-designedâ the extra heavy version? |

JSB, Cometa, Air Arms are all made by JSB so technically the same pellet. Along with FX and a couple of other brands too. Try for the Cometa ones at Airgunsnz.co.nz In .177 they have JSB exact (mid / "standard" weight), Exact Heavy (good for 18fpe rifles we have here), Exact Express (lighter weight good for UK sub 12 fpe), then Exact RS which is lighter again. |

And of course the Air Arms are basically the same pellet.

Hi J-S,
Iâve been trying to get hold of some JSB exacts in .22 for a while, but neither guncity or H&f carry them. Have made an enquire with my local sports store and if they canât source some Iâll have to buy on line. Once I have some Iâll definatly post a pic of how they went in the CFR, and compare to the hades. Also been trying to get my head around the naming of the JSB Exacts⊠there seems to be 3 versions in .177, and the same 3 versions in .22. If I understand it correctly the âexact expressâ is the light weight version, the âexactâ is the middle weight version, and the âexact heavyâ is the heavy version. I think the same applies to the .22 sizes, they just add the word âjumboâ to show it is a .22âŠ??? I havenât gotten to the .25, kings, and all the rest, still trying to understand the .177 and .22âs. đ |

The hades are an expanding version of the JSB Exacts, which are a very good pellet for most rifles. Id be interested to see the grouping of JSB exacts as a comparison
