i love these pellets. they are the only ones i use in my rifle. they are very consistent and have great knock down power. i highly recommend these pellets to everyone.

no changes are needed as far as i'm concerned.

They work well with the Octane rifle ,and seem to hold a good pattern .

Make an easy load container that could be used with one hand !!!

Great Ammo,good solid hits .

Make an easy load container that can be opened and closed with one hand .

Very disappointed that this did not work as well as the 18.1 grain. I am shooting the synthetic maraurder and out to fifty yards these are just ok. The skirts on the tin I bought were not in very good shape so maybe that was the problem but will not purchase again.

Make them in 21 or 22 grains.

PA is the best place to buy all your air gun stuff.

first 10 shots from my rws 350 mag i zeroed the scope in about 4 shots then was consistently placing holes exactly where the crosshairs lined up, every shot...literally 1/4" group sizes at 30 yards bench rested. the recoil seemed to be slightly less due to the weight of these pellets too...maybe that's just me...

nothing

try as many pellets as possible...don't just settle on one or two...try them all...the educated shooter is a better shot across the board

Weight, uniform

The TIN!

Good pellets, nice and heavy, easy to load in my ATAC. But be prepared to change the tin, that's all. The lid fell off twice when I went to grab them and also spilt all over my ammo case before I eventually transplanted them in to a real tin . Enjoy them

I like the design and weight. They load and shoot well in a Umarex Octane.

Make these in different weights and keep the cylindrical design.

Outstanding hunting pellets

nothing

I am a bit taken aback as I read some of the other reviews here. If someone believes these pellets are too heavy, buy lighter pellets. They are not uniform. They are perfectly uniform. Skirts are damaged, skirts are perfect.
I think these are very good hunting pellets and I would recommend them for that purpose. If one cannot hit a walnut at 25 yards one should not be hunting with an air gun, one should be hunting with a .410 shotgun.

more about things I didn't like.. very disappointed in the damage to the skirts. This is NOT as a result of PA's packing (which is the best in the industry) the damage occurred as a result of the method of how the pellets are placed and distributed in the tin.

The tin is too small for number of pellets in the tin. Bigger tin please. The pellets are forced into the tin at JSB and the heads damage the skirts

you are paying for 200 pellets. If you cherry pick the good skirts out, plan on less than 150. I got just over 300 "acceptable" pellets from two tins.

Hard hitting & accurate what more can I say!

More pellets in the tin

I've had good accuracy in all air rifles with JSB's

Very clean and uniform with good shape and somewhat accurate in my Chinese gas ram rifle

Screw top lid and drop them down in grains to maybe 20 to 22 grains at best.

I shoot these from a Chinese gas ram .22cal and can get decent groups but have to adjust my scope or use all my mildots or both. They hit hard and are clean and accurate but are just to heavy for my gun to shoot all the time. Wish they would bring them down in grains and keep the shape but maybe I'll buy a hw90 in 22 and see how they do... Lol, I wish.

Can I say killers, death in the air, wacka-do wacka-do? If not just tell me and I will finger out a different way to say it.

nothing

They do not seem to tumble.

These pellets fly straight and hit hard just what I expected of them. A++++++++++

The can I would add threads to it so it would become securely fastened.

These pellets are heavy with a regular air gun you must be able to compensate for them, aim like an artillery shell. Aim with an arc to your target.

Very consistent molding, and well finished. Weight is consistent as well and these fly very true from my rifle. I am using them in a modified qb78 on co2 and launching them just over 600fps. Slow fire i get an ES of about 15fps for 20 shots then a consistent decrease to shot 30ish where velocity drops below 550.Accuracy has been good running 3/4" at 30yds, with the gun best being with the JSB heavies and CPH at right around 1/2". The lead is softer and skirt sizing is slightly larger then that of CPs, and it shows in rifling engagement and i think they get less blow by then the CPs.

As another reviewer stated, a larger box would be nice. Perhaps a slightly harder alloy would also be good in shipping. A large number of the ones ive had from multiple sellers have had slightly dented skirts. They DO tend to be less beat up then the lights ive ordered.

These are very heavy, but shoot well and from my testing are more aerodynamic then the more wasp wasted pellets. I would also suggest trying them in any gun atleast once. For anyone that shooting a maruader, or a gun using marauder mags, these fit perfectly length wise, but need to be pushed in with a starter or another pellet in mine. Once in they chamber easily and smoothly. For co2 guns these may be just the ticket, with the lower initial, longer sustained pressure these heavy soft skirted pellets seem to store more available energy then any of the lighter ones do. At least in my gun.

Heavy hard hitter.

They have their place, to heavy for my gun, but had to try.

Dont bother unless you have the air to push them as fast as they need to go.If not a bean flip would be better. If your gun wont push a 14.5 grain past 800 fps dont bother with these unless very short range.

Nice heavy pellets that are well formed, clean & consistent.

Screw top tin & 500 count quantity.

These are more of a cylindrical than a dome shaped pellet.

They were pretty consistent in shape and size. I had great success in some of my rifles. They worked great in my stronger rifles but had less luck on the weaker ones but that was expected due to the weight. I was able to get same FP on my .22 as I did on my .25 which was really impressive. They are solid hard hitting and will pretty much kill what they hit.

Larger tin with more. I rather pay a little more to get more than buying smaller tins.

They are heavy, do not use them if your PCP rifle doesn't shoot more than 1100fps with lighter pellets. With these pellets my rifle went from 1150 using lite pellets down to 965 using these. At 965fps with a 25g pellet my rifle was very accurate and deadly. But on my weaker PCP rifles that started at less than 1000 with light pellets struggled to push the pellet in the high 700fps. They did ok for a few shots but quickly started dropping. I would not recommend these for springers and I would not give them a low score because your springer couldn't handle them since that is not the fault of the pellet.

these are heavvvvvy love them

bigger tins

these are great almost the size of a .22 centerfire round , need a beefy gun to throw downrange though at least 1000 fps

JSB quality is evident in every tin I buy.

Make them fit in an Marauder magazine?

Some say these pellets don't group very well. My experience is that I can cover the group with a dime at 30 yards. My Marauder really seems to like them. That said, my Mrod also has none of the accuracy problems that others have complained of, so maybe I'm just lucky. If you own a .22 PCP, you owe it to yourself to try these heavy pellets.

powerful pellot , great hunting pellot

nothing

nope
