Daystate Rangemaster Powermax Bullets .177 15grains 600pk

Product Information
Daystate Rangemaster Powermax Bullets - .177 - 15grains - 600pk


This brand new pellet from Daystate is the result of a joint development between Daystate and innovative British pellet manufacturer Pax.
Daystate was impressed by the Defiant pellet made by Pax, but wanted to improve it for optimum performance in Daystate airguns.
They came up with the Rangemaster High Energy.
These high quality, domed, lead pellets are subject to a selection process and then pre-lubed to ensure consistency.
Tony Belas of Daystate states that these pellets have a better ballistic coefficient than any other pellet available. The shorter length of the pellet allows it to fly flatter and with up to one-third less windage than other well known brands. "Daystate told me that, uniquely, their Rangemaster has been developed in conjunction with award-winning pellet manufacturer Prometheus for the sole purpose of handling windy conditions better than any standard, waisted pellet" Nigel Allen, Airgunner Magazine

Independent Results ( Daystate Rangemaster vs JSB Exact )

"Tipping the scales at 15 grains in .22
and 8.5 grains in .177, the
Rangemaster has been specifically
designed to have a highly superior
ballistic coefficient (BC). The ‘BC’ is a
mathematical figure that indicates how
well a projectile performs down-range,
and is determined through the
relationship of shape, weight mass
distribution and air friction. The actual
BC number is pretty
meaningless to everyone who
doesn’t have a PHD in
external ballistics – but, in
short, the better the BC,
the better the pellet."
Nigel Allen, Airgunner Magazine

MASSIVE RETAINED ENERGY
The superior BC of the Rangemaster
was immediately apparent at 30
metres. The Exacts recorded an
average velocity of 595 f.p.s. (6.62 ft.
lbs.), whereas the Rangemasters
tripped the chrono over 60 f.p.s. faster;
they averaged 659 f.p.s. (8.2 ft. lbs.).
What’s more, they did so with far more
consistency, having a spread of just 6
f.p.s. compared to the Exacts’ 29 f.p.s.
Effectively, that meant that at 30
metres, the Rangemasters retained 74
per cent of their energy, while Exacts
only held onto 60 per cent. In hunting
terms, the Daystate will arrive at its
target with a lot more ‘stopping power’,
fully justifying its ‘H.E.’ suffix.
Nigel Allen, Airgunner Magazine


"At 50 metres in a strong
wind, the Rangemasters needed
only half as much windage
allowance as the JSB Exacts"
Nigel Allen, Airgunner Magazine

"the Rangemasters
were deflected only half as much as
the JSBs – and they produced groups
half the size to boot."
Nigel Allen, Airgunner Magazine

"What I couldn’t fail to
notice through the Leupold’s high magnification
optics was the way in
which the pellets flew toward their
target. The Exacts (and all the other
waisteds I have since tested) seemed
to ‘wobble’ in a kind of horizontal zigzag
as they zipped through the air,
whereas the Rangemasters flew
without any of this ‘chattering’
whatsoever."
Nigel Allen, Airgunner Magazine

This item is scheduled to arrive May 15, 2010.


The long and the short of it is, the JSB Exact was the most accurate in still conditions but when a significant crosswind developed, the daystate pellets were more stable and accurate.
