smooth twist barrels, are they pellet fussy February 6 2012 at 12:37 AM		anewguy (Login anewguy) YFOT


I heard there are a few versions of the smooth twist from the early ones to the current production barrels. Some said they were designed for JSBs and I'm seeing a lot of guys report the 18 grain work great. I don't have any 18 grains yet, they're on order. The 14 grain JSB express work ok good but it's not a 1 hole deal like others have reported. Anyone notice accuracy differences between the 18, 16, and 14 grain JSB in smooth twist barrels?
