Page 3 - JSB Exact Beast, .177 Reviews

These were originally bought for my Marauder. The results were good, but not nearly on par with the Air Arms 10.3 Diabolo Field Heavy pellets in this particular M-rod. But as a real surprise ...my Hatsan Galatian II rifle shoots these extremely well. The 50 yard groups on a windless 5/20/17 shooting session were my best ever. Hmmm!

Do wish these were available in tins of 500 at a lower volume price. But on the other hand, I'd rather see pellet quality and consistency not suffer for price.

These pellets fit with room to spare in the Galatian .177 16 shot rotary magazine.

Beast 16.2's are my barrels favorite pellet. Consistent sub dime groups at 50 - 55 yards. The torpedo shape definitely cuts through the wind better than a domed pellet. At 50 yards it drops noticeably less than a JSB 16 grain 22 cal shooting the same fpe.

$10 for 250 pellets is crazy. $20 for 500 pellets in 177 is overpriced big time.

About 95% of the pellets were uniform and undamaged.

Very hard-hitting .177 pellet. More accurate then the Eunjin heavy pellets in my Crossman MTR77NP.

Screw-on lid for the tin.

An excellent heavy pellet in the .177. Accurate with devastating terminal effects.

I bought these along with a few other tins of different pellets to try in my Benjamin Trail NP XL 1500. It had too much power for any pellet under 10gr, and I was looking for the heaviest pellet i could find. These work great, very accurate, great quality control, and as always great shipping by pyramyd.

Include a $100 bill with every tin.

Shot these out of a Hatsan AT44s QE and at 30 yards got a inch group. They did group about 1 inch lower than JSB heavies 10.3 grains.

500 count tin.

Yes they do fit in Hatsan magazine.

Excellent hard hitting pellet for the .177 fans!! An excellent choice for tough squirrels, with a well placed shot they drop like a brick. True flight and accurate to the 50 yards (as of now) tested in my custom Disco 18" carbine.

Not much I would change except make a deep hollow point version as well. Some pellets I drilled a 1/16" diameter hole approx. 3/4 the pellet length and test fired in duct seal, the pellets were a perfectly round and flat mushroom, the largest diameter was .287".

This is NOT a pellet for anything other than a PCP rifle or carbine in my opinion. They are a tight fit in both the Crosman and LW barrels I've shot them in, a little more resistance closing the bolt. With the heavy weight and cylindrical shape there isn't much deformation on small game from what I have noticed though the higher FPE is perfect for hunting.

I have a powerful PCP and so I was looking for a heavy pellet to keep the velocity subsonic and so more accurate. At 16.2 gr it fit the bill traveling at 985fps. I also liked the streamline shape for long distance shooting.

I will purchase them again because of their performance but I don't understand why a few extra grs of cheap lead should raise the price that much per pellet.

I can't explain why JSPs of all weights work so well in all my guns but it's a fact. I also can't explain why the H&N sniper pellets I order at the same time and their silver point pellets do so poorly in the same guns. I must have JSP friendly guns. They are, Baikal izh 46m, Daisy 747, Hatsan at44-10 long.

They shoot well.

Screw on lid.

These are good pellets and offer a nice tight group.

Twice the mass of the JSB pellets I had been using. These are darned near slugs. They seem to shoot well and pack a punch.

Make the tins threaded so that the lid doesn't fall off. I'm getting tired of cleaning up 250 pellets from my range bag!

These are serious pills of Pb. You'll need some muscle in your gun to sling these.

It makes a big hole in a tin can at 50 yards.

Good take down ammo for small game.

I recoomend these heavier pellets if you are using the Air Force Condor. These have a much tighter grouping than the 8 gr pellet.

500 ct container.

Most accurate and consistant pellet I have shot out of 12 different types.

Nothing

I'm shooting these out of a Crosman TR77 NPS ***GAS PISTON*** This air rifle really seems to love the heavier pellets.

weight, its ballistic coefficient is amazing

nothing

dont be fooled if muzzle energy is lower then one of your medium weight pellets, with its efficiency it does not lose speed as much as a medium round nose pellets, wich means at distance this one will have double the energy despite starting off a little lower, light and medium pellets are only a quick burst of velocity and they decelerate more quickly then this pellet, so stay heavy with round nose pellets, these are even the weight of many middle weight 22 pellets, so your .177 gives you the power down range of a 22 at a lower price wich is a good option if you like 22 caliber air rifles, just make up for it by going heavy in .177, i own 22 air rifles and found this pellet makes the .177 rifles keep up, and pine tests down range shows more penetration then the 22 pellets, so you get the best of both worlds in this pellet, low cost and high power

This pellet is awesome in my marauder...accurate,quite and uniform. The jsb 10.34 and the 8.44 are also great pellets,but this one has the weight and the knock down power as the .22 cal. marauder using the 18.13 gr. grain pellets.I get 1/4" groups @ 25 yards and sometimes closer...good job JSB,very uniform pellets.

make 500 cts.at slightly lower price.The value for the money is ok.

The size of the pellet and the quietness of the gun makes shooting squirrels like popping balloons...awesome.

Huge pellet, also on the larger side as far as circumference. This is a seriously tight fit in my Benjamin Titan. I only bought these to see the FPS difference from the 10.34 JSB, which is the preferred pellet for that gun. The sound difference between the two pellet sizes hitting my target is amazing, you really can tell there is substantial weight difference.

same as all JSB containers, a screw lid please.

Anything I have bought that has the JSB name on it has performed exceedingly well. If you are thinking of trying different pellets, put JSB in your air gun, I would venture to say, you will be pleased

WOW!!! Is accurate and deadly strong, Incredible knock down power best pellet for hunting,

nothing!!

Just for powerful air rifles.
