Page 5 - JSB Exact Monster, .177 Reviews

Almost as heavy as a .22 so the winds don't affect them as much.

More pellets per tin. B-)

Excellent quality

JSB makes good stuff. These are a little too heavy for my Crosman springer rifle - they're OK at close range, but too much drop at longer distances. Otherwise very accurate and hard hitting. I like these in my 1377 pistol inside 15 yards.

I wanted to shoot a heavy pellet in my modified Benjamin Discovery and tried several. This one worked when others from Skenco and the JSB Rabbit Magnum II would not.

All is well with this product.

I do have a Lothar-walther match barrel on my Discovery and modifications to the valve and porting, but I also tried this pellet with the stock barrel and got good results. My groups for 5 shots at 25 yards are consistently around 7/16" with a muzzle velocity of 830 fps. I have also measured downrange velocity and this pellet is near the top in ballistic efficiency. That makes it a 5 star performer with a lot of benefits over other pellets.

Very heavy for max impact. Overall quality appeared excellent with consistant chamber fit.

Wish it was as accurate as the Kodiak Match in my Silent Cat. Found it had too many flyers. I have put three consecutive rounds within or on a nickel's boundary at 30 yards then have flyers going everywhere.

With tuning and a higher quality scope this pellet may actually be the best.

These are very nice pellets...heavy and accurate. That shoot terrific from my 1377. They are consistent in weight and shape. And I also liked that they were a very clean pellet. Meaning they were polished and the mold lines were faint.

Nothing I can think of

No

Uniformity, weight, accuracy.These packed a greater punch in my 1000fps Gamo Hornet then anything else ive used.

Make a 500 or 1250 round tin! When buying in bulk 400 is a bit of an awkward number.Also I didnt have much problem with it, but the lid is a pop-off instead of screw on

Don't use these badboys for an extended period of time exessively, unless you can easily have your main spring replaced. And keep your scope screws nice and snug because these things kick alot more than your usual 8-10 grain pellet!

I like the weight of the pellet. It fits good in a Crosman Vantage and a Umarex Octane. Both are break barrels. These pellets hit hard. Cylindrical design.

Make these pellets in different weights and keep the cylindrical design.

I have only used these pellets in the two air rifles I have. They load well and shoot well.

shoot greatwith my rws34 and disco.

tin needs screw on top.

these are for a strong shooting rifle.

These pellets have worked the best in my NPXL 1500. Tightest groups, most consistent.

nothing

Have tried about a half dozen different pellets so far. It seems the heavier ones work best.

Works well in windy conditions up to 80 & 100 yrds. With high power springers like my tiger airhawk fully tune.

Nothing

Use only with rifles fps @ 1000 1200 fps only and do not over use these monster for exceed period will ware main spring.

Excellent shaped pellet. Accurate. Upper level weight for 177 that hits hard from my hatsan vortex. My gun loves these. Fit very well. Shoot extremely hard and am seeing roughly 24 foot pounds at the muzzle. I have no problem shooting these from my gun that's rated at 1000 fps. Know that the hatsan line of guns are no joke. They don't elevate any of their statistics like other gun makers do. They are honest stats from a really well built and powerful gun, so heavy pellets work great. I also just reviewed the eun Jin heavys at 16.1 grains and my hatsan ate those up too. I highly recommend either heavyweight if you have a break barrel that has the guts to shoot them. I would say that the more powerful break barrels will actually shoot better with a heavier pellet. Subsonic, quiet and hits like a ton of bricks. Small and now medium quarry won't stand a chance. Takes your gun to the 22 realm

Screw lid needed for the tins. On the higher cost end, but worth it. Maybe could have a 500 count for the cost, but not complaining.

Exceptional pellet. Weight is right in the hunting sweet spot. Not overly heavy to reduce velocity too much, but heavy enough to generate a ton of fpe at the muzzle. Over 24 foot pounds and accurate will stop most hard critters where they stand. I really like these accurate cylinders. Quarter size groups at 25 yards that hit with authority.

These pellets are the best out of my benji np trail 1500 xl

After trying various pellets in my Crosman Optimus .177 these pellets made quarter size groups at 25 yds. These pellets seem to fit the barrel rifling a little tighter, and increased accuracy.

Nothing !

By doing ALOT of shooting with several brands, shapes and weights of pellets I was able to discover a pellet match for my Optimus.

Wind bucking ability !! ... throw these 800fps ++ from a PCP and they get down range with less windage correction than lighter pellets. In my particular PCP used in Field target nearly one hole accurate placing 10 shots inside 1/4" at 30 yards. Damn accurate for gun purchased for ... not so much in other guns.

Give us 500 pellets per tin please ....

These are HEAVY pellets that for most but the higher power PCP's likely will not shoot very well.
Ballistics however are BETTER than the equivalent 13.4 weight in .22 cal ! ... which for those guys thinking a .177 cal just can't do what a .22 cal can ... Not true.
Even at just 800 fps your making @ 19.5 ft lbs with these pellets.

Heavy, made by the Czechs who are a very smart people. I got these because they're just a grain under the standard .22 pellet. These are heavy as a slug for .177 and whatever gets hit with these is going down for the count. Accuracy is there. Heavy, which is nice for .177. I give this five stars completely, for all the above: it knocks down with confidence.

Nothing. I got them for knock-down power, accuracy and penetration. They're perfect.

These are made for magnum air rifles just as the description states here online. This is my main pellet for my air rifle. Excellent for dispatching pests. I feel comfortable with this pellet. I got this very pellet for long range shots, so the energy stays down range. All that needs to be done is practice and more practice.

Have not shoot alot with this yet but the few I did right on the money.

Like the weight and energy produced with these pellets and they are accurate. Nice for larger pests, head shots.

Nothing

To use these make sure your gun will have enough power.

My TX200 likes these.

Price could be a little lower, but they are a premium pellet.

I say try all the pellets you can. That "magic" pellet for your gun is out there.
PA makes it easy with their buy 3 get 1 free deal!

Uniform shape, cleanliness.

As always, a screw lid would be nice.

These shoot well with my 177 Discovery. I ordered several tins of various pellets for several airguns at the same time. The packaging was EXCELLENT.

I tried these in a RWS48/52. Initial 5 shot group measured .37" CTC with 4 of the 5 going into a .18" group. This was a marked improvement over the groups I was getting with RWS 8 and 9 grain match pellets.Best groups with those were in the sub.5" range. All of these were shot at 10 meters off a bench rest.

Nothing.

The heavier pellets definitely perform better than the standard weight pellets in a high velocity air rifle. Next step will be heavier pellets to see if the improvement continues. These do shot about 1.5" lower than 8 grain pellets.
