I received two bags of the new BB Bastard this week and while I had high hopes, I am very disappointed.

I measured 48 fresh ones and found an average variance of 0.014mm, with a maximum variance of 0.025mm. That would normally be somewhat prone to jams in a tightbore barrel but because they are undersized jamming isn't a problem.

Accuracy is significantly affected though. For a premium brand anything over 0.01mm variance is absolutely unacceptable.

To put it into perspective, here is a few other brands I've measured:

Old BBB 25 Tracer : 0.007mm average variance, 48 readings
HPA 30 : 0.008mm average variance, 48 readings
Krytac 28 : 0.009mm average variance, 48 readings
Valken 32 bio(TW): 0.012mm average variance, 48 readings
New BBB 28 Bio : 0.014mm average variance, 48 readings
Old BBB 25 FRAG : 0.015mm average variance, 48 readings

By my testing these BBs come closer to the old FRAGS than the original BBs. These new BB Bastard BBs probably wouldn't even measure top 10 in terms of brands currently on the market.
