Testing which is the best h&n pellet head size through the air arms xti50, but with a serious twist. the testing procedure is called running interleaved serials and is how the military test ordnance. I was genuinely sceptical about how it would work down range but i will have to do some more testing as the initial tests gave far more accurate results than normal pellet testing. i will retest with the various jsb pellets and air arms fields along with various qys. The results although only a limited sample size in this video are fantastic and show that this testing procedure may well be a game changer for those of us that regularly pellet test outdoors in the wind


the pellets on test are the H&N baracuda ft in 4.50 and 4.51 head sizes.
the 4.51 seems to be the best pellet for the xti50

lots of the top uk benchrest shooters use the baracuda ft and after the results of my testing its easy to see why.

i ran some control groups followed by the interleaved serials and the results speak for themselves. i really cant get my head around the results. conventional wisdom suggests it shouldnt work but its a potential game changer.
the rifle is the new air arms xti50 and has a falcon endura ffp scope. the new mounts are tier one 34mm dovetail.

a lot of the airability crew use the H&N pellets to good effect, i think i will look at these in more detail for some extreme range shooting with the sub 12 xti
