Anyone tried them? Ordered and got a tin of them today, they are in 4.52 looks shiny and the cloth in the tin got a brown yellowish stain, are they lubricated?
Some images compare to regular 8.44gr:

I haven't personally but one of the lads used them at my range. The problem he had
with them was they kept jamming in the magazine.

They go well in most guns, but aren't always the best pellet for the barrel. For me they are an excellent all rounder.
 
I have tried them in all my guns and haven’t yet found them to be the best pellet in any, but second or third best in some. My guns seem to prefer JSB heavies or QYS streamlined heavy.
 
Been using them for years.
Not always the easiest thing to get hold of.
My Redwolf loves them, very very consistent.
Can be more wind affected than heavies though.
 
I don't think I have seen them for sale here in Sweden, they might have and passed me by, so I thought it was a new shiny must have, gonna try them in my s200 and see if they deliver
 
Not sure why but the older shorts seemed to be brilliant in all my guns and as the years went on they became very batch fussy
The best so far were 2019 😎
 
Tried them today in very windy condition with my Kral Puncher breaker, have not shot with it for some time and the first shot I thought I had the safety on, i didn't, the pellet missed the target like a meter off... trigger is VERY tough before one gets use to it, shot with AA 8.44gr first for a while then swapped for the short 8.44gr, way off high to the right, I had 2 5 dot targets next to eachother and when I aimed at the left low target dot i hit the left dot up on the right ... they did perform just as good as the AA though just a totaly different path trough the air, i was thinking they spiraled first but need to test them further out to find out.
 
They appear to be made with the same dies as Exact RS and Express but with a different insert to for the skirt, so the external profile of the three pellets is the same but the internal profile and distribution of mass are different. The centre of mass must be close to the centre of pressure. @Ballisticboy can tell you the implications for stability in flight.

Some of the benchrest shooters at the club have been buying from Germany ( I think) but apparently they are going to be available in the UK.
