Page 6 - JSB Exact Monster, .177 Reviews

This is my first experience with JSB. I fully expected to be somewhat disappointed with an Eastern European product. I was amazed at everything about them. The quality is at least as good as H&N, and on a par with RWS. They are the ONLY heavy pellet that shoots well in my NPS. At 15 yards they are as accurate as RWS Meisterklugens. The down range accuracy is even better. I don't expect to use an air gun at more than 40 yards and these shoot flat and group the same at 30 yards as they do at 15 yards...and that is with open sights.

If JSB could give me back 25 years, or so, I would be grateful. But if I have to remain an old good-for-nothing, I will be happy with these pellets.

I am a very picky consumer when it comes to shooting. I had to modify my NPS in order to install open sights because the power plant is just to harsh for anything other than a scope that costs 2 or 3 times as much as the gun...That seemed silly to me, so I installed a nice set of Weirauch sites and now the accuracy is very close to that of an old springer....after all, who really needs a scope to reach ALL they way out to 35 yards? I had trouble finding a pellet that would give a strong air gun good overall results. For me, if this 1000 fps gun couldn't land a hit on a squirrel at more than 10 paces, it wasn't worth the price of shipping. I went through at least 8 different pellets before I found these. In the end I found that these have a trajectory 95% as flat as light weight wad-cutters out to 30 yards, but maintain their grouping and flat flight WAY further out than a skirted pellet. If you plan on getting over-confident and shooting past you probable kill zone, these are your best bet. Remember, accuracy is far more important than velocity. On top of that, heavy pellets offer much more energy on impact.

Very accurate pellet. very clean to start with. I love the weight, it makes for a very good windy day pellet. also increases fpe if the gun is a magnum.

mabey make an 11.5 grain or ten grain version?

Very deadly on squirres, (even when you don't hit them as good as you want). lol not very accurate out past 60 yards in my nitro venom dusk.

Crazy heavy weight that flies right. Accurate!

Nothing.

I'll push heavy pellets with my wimpy guns. It is not the norm, but when plinking I like the blooping trajectory and the long pause before impact. These are HEAVY but work like a regular diabolo pellet in my low and medium power spring guns. It's a goofy but fun thing to do.

13.4 grains cylindrical

not a thing

to be used only in hi power or magnum rifles you will get hard hitting pellet accurate pellet @ a long distance

beautifully crafted, uniform, consistent, smooth loading and shooting

better tin

Waayyy too heavy for my 1000 fps crosman TR77. had to try.

Pellet has some real knock down power.

nothing

Works better in higher powered air gun 1,000fps or more.

Shoot these from a PCP in around 900fps getting DIME SIZE 50 yards groups.

500 count and NOT 400 ? ... come on use a larger tin !

Being the weight of this pellet is quite high for .177 caliber, IMO pretty much makes these for HIGH POWER Nitro / Spring or PCP guns only.

I do like these pellets. They can carry an extra punch given their mass and weight. They seem to be very uniform and well made. Some visible quality in this ammo.

The price is a little too much for plinking but if you are a hunter you may want to try these.

I believe you have to try these pellets if you want to know how your different guns perform. I find them very accurate but then again I use them mostly with my PCP guns only.

size,weight and amount per tin. These are the most accurate pellet I have shot and the knock down power is second to none. These pellets are the best bang for the buck out there.

nothing

if you plan on hunting or just doing some varmit removal this is the pellet to use. After a day of small game hunting seeing the devastating knock down power these pellets provide using my Benjamin eleit 1500 I was sold on them. The 400 count tin for under $15 bucks you can't go wrong. If your looking for a pellet that can handle the higher power of todays air rifles this is the one. These are very uniformed pellets quality control at JSB is top-notch

Weight! More accurate than I thought they would be.

Better quality control for skirts.

These are heavy pellets, I am shooting at 1050 FPS out of my .177 Marauder with 10.65 pellets so wanted to try these to see how much drop I would get at 30 meters and how good they would hold POA/POI. I did not change the dope on my scope just used the mil dots and was pleasantly surprised to see the grouping I got. Held a quarter sized group using a sand bag that was low and to the left of center but easily could be adjusted with the scope. Drop was only about 1/2" from the 10.65 gr. pellets. If you want to have good hitting power out at 30+ yrds these may just be the pellets for you.

The uniform shape, length, and weight of the pellet. at 13 grains, all of my break barrel rifles perform exceptionally well. This pellets helped quiet down my ruger air magnum, and also helped narrow down the groupping at long distances. 50+ yards. My Hasan striker 1000s hits so hard at 20yards with this monster pellets that my brand new gamo pellet trap which was supposed to withstand a .22 air rifle with a velocity of 1000fps got destroyed after 12 shots. and not to mention my ruger hair hawk elite is just pin point accurate at 40 yards with great knock down power and extremely quiet.

The actual lid to the container just doesn't work. A screw on lid would be perfect. Don't let the lid discourage you, just get a pellet holder like the crosman pellet holder that attaches to your belt. that actually works much better than any tin can holder as it is much quieter and versatile.

In my opinion@the jsb monsters have the perfect weight and shape for hunting and plinking with powerful spring air rifles. it helps quiet down supersonic speed capable rifles without sacrificing ftp (knockdown power) or distance. yes I said distance. The jsb monsters have a cylindrical shape which helps reduce drag allowing it to travel longer distances. you just have to adjust your scope to compensate for the extra weight of the Jsb monsters. your ordinary pellet has a skirt shape which slows down the pellets. I will continue to buy this pellets as I cannot find any reason why to go back to the smaller, louder skirted pellets. after all the point of having a spring air rifle is because they are quiet and powerful right?

Will from Horatio,S.C.. Like the shape @ size. Not to bad of a pellet for my WTM NP .177.

The lid!

These are nice. Accurate and very well made. Leaves a nice size hole in a tin garbage can at 75 yards. Love them.

Wish they came in a container that has a screw on cap. Plus came in higher quantity

You love them. Get some. You won't be disappointed

Love these pretty accurate

Nothing

I love pyramid air but hate buying ammo when it coast almost as much as the ammo to ship them but the retail price for ammo is good just not shipping

exellent

nothing

these even at .177 pack a hell of punch the sqirrels hate them for good reason.and if you own a fx rifle they work in those magazines,sweet!!!

These pellets are pure awesome!! I like the shape and how many grains it has.

Nothing

I usually use lighter grain pellets in my .177 for plinking but if you are looking for a pellet with lots of knock down power and you have a .177 buy these. Plus they are super accurate in many air guns I have tried.

Shape, Size, Consistency, Accuracy

Performed best in our moderate wind tests. and 3rd best out of 12 brands for overall accuracy in low-no wind.

These pellets perform very well in my RWS 350. Inside 25 yards many pellets shoot reasonably well. Outside this distance, and on long shots (50-60yrds) these pellets produce much better groups. Even though the velocity is lower at the muzzle it is higher down range compared to most other pellets. This helps when shooting pests or hunting at long distances.

I would always ask for more uniformity, athough these pellets are very good.

If you own a magnum powered airgun (>18FPE) heavier pellets may help your results.

The pellets are great in my Fwb model 2

Nothing

Very nice pellets

Most accurate pellet in my Marauder and with 20 fpe in .177 very powerful

Screw on lid would be nice
