I've never heard of anyone here using firestar pellets. Plenty of videos on YouTube on them.
Thanks. Lots of tests out there but none of them have enough replications to make the standard deviation calc worth much IMO (have some training in stats). And not varying bullets or primers makes sense from teh logistical nightmare of doing that--but limits their repeatability IMO. I would think the velocity differences might carry across different bullets though.
And the suburban hunt guy talking about
6 pellets of Firestar? That would be way above any manufacturer recommendations from what I know--nearly 200 grains!!!!--kind of colored my trust in his work.
Watched them and a few more, my take home is--I need to compare white hots to triple 7's!
FWIW my initial inquest to what to try with my MZ was to talk to the manufacturer. Still think that's a good plan for those new to it.
At the time--maybe 6 years ago? Traditions said blackhorn was both the cleanest and most consistent when I asked but for pellets triple 7 was decent, but they recommended remington kleanbore MZ primers as the best at the time. If I recall the primer recommendation was based more on their being hot enough but cleaner as much as anything.
Not sure those remington primers are still made? I still have 35 or so left so am good for awhile but might need to switch if they aren't.
The winchester triple 7 primers are new since then I think might give them a try unless there's another common favorite out there.
