ASG Schofield Chrono Test

ASG Schofield 1877 pellet. This pistol has a smooth bore barrel and uses rifled shells. The Webley MKVI shells are dimensionally with same but smooth which is good for my first pellet test.

Using H&N Field Trophy Green Non-lead 4.50 5.56 grn in the Webley shells as I did not want to chance damaging the rifled soft brass Schofield shells.

Accuracy was fairly good and much better than with the Colts and their rifled barrels.
So it would seem that these pellets are better suited to smooth barrels.

Second up was the RWS MK 4.50 7.0 using the Schofield shells.

Nice and consistent with excellent accuracy.

Third and last up was the JSB RS Diablo 4.52 7.33 and again using the Schofield shells.

1. 372 2.24
2. 373 2.25
3. 375 2.26

10. 359 2.08
11. 359 2.08
12. 368 2.19

Average 367 FPS 2.18 ftlbs

These being the heaviest were the slowest, but the most consistent over a string with a 26 FPS variation. Accuracy was excellent so overall this pellet is the winner.

Total number of full power shots from one capsule is 84 at 12 degC ambient.
