These shoot great out of my Beeman P17. Fast, accurate, and consistent.

WHAT CAN I SAY JSB MAKES A GREAT PELLET . BEEN USING JSB PELLETS FOR OVER 15 YEARS .

This is a very light pellet, and yet it stays true. Also, after thousands of rounds I haven't thrown out a single pellet. If that isn't consistency I don't know what is.

Nothing.

Practice your marksmanship before you blame the pellets, or the gun for that matter.

My favorite .177 pellet. I buy them in bulk when I can because they go fast!

Screw on lid

Buy more than you think you need.

I wanted a lighter weight pellet to try in my HW35. This is a mid power airgun, and I wanted to boost the velocity to get it flatter shooting. Uniformity is good, and fits the breech taper well. Accuracy is good also.

A bit pricey for high volume plinking, but if you don't mind the cost, it is a superb pellet.

JSB does make high quality pellets.

I have shot these in my 1720T and my IZH46M and they do very well. I have used about 2000 of these. Howver,lately I have noticed the skirts are almost always damaged and this requires smoothing out. I am sure that is why the pellets are the weight they are, i.e., keep the head weight the same and just reduce/increase the skirt density to reduce/increase the weight. Too, they are very short and do not feed very well with the 1720T bolt. They require a little encouragement from your forefinger. Other pellets I have used of additonl weight (and possibly length) feed very well.

I think JSB should consider some type of packaging that would protect the skirts better.

Just that the pellets will require some preparation before use.

Very consistent product that preforms well in most of the air guns I've owned.

As always price is a consideration. Lowering it by 33% would certainly secure the majority market share across the majority of the products in all price points.

All the JSB products I've tried are produced at an above average standard of consistency. However, like all pellets there is substantial pellet to pellet variation particularly in weight. Best results will come for those that weight and sort each tin into at least two weight categories if not more.

Very consistent no damaged pellets

Bigger tin options

These seem pretty soft so if you have a high velocity spring gun/pcp I could see lead fouling being a issue

Good grouping

Unsure

I bought these pellets because they were suppose to be 4.52 head diameter. I have a TF-99 Premiere Under-Lever. I also have a very good selection of .177 pellets to go with my five .177 pellet guns. All of my pellets fit fine in all my guns except the TF-99, most pellets go in too far, and if I raise the barrel they fall out. 4.52mm is the largest pellets I've been able to find. So I bought four different tins.
Most tins measured 4.48mm to 4.53mm. One tin I got only 3 out of 20 that measured over 4.50. (I am a machinist and for ten years a quality manager. I am using a Starrett 0 to 1" mic.) 20 of 20 from this tin of JSB measured 4.48 to 4.50 They fall out of the breech. BUT, they ARE the most accurate shooters in this gun. All the other pellets I have shot 5-shot groups over 1 inch at ten yards. These JSB Exact RS pellets gave me a TEN-shot group of just a half inch. This is not on a bench, this is standing up using a tripod. I tried 5 more pellets. Same hole.
Confused.

They shoot great out of 1720T pistol. One hole at 15yards and 1/4 inch at 25 yards. Over a chrony 677 FPS average. This is too light of a pellet for the Benjamin marauder, AT 15 yards 1/4-1/2 inch groups and at 25 yards it's all over the place shooting over a chrony 1100 FPS. So just to light for the marauder.

Nothing

It's a good pellet over all, but the crossman 7.4,7.9, and 10.5 shoot just as good through the 1720T pistol, and are much cheaper.

My reference pellet for spring pistols, which are generally most efficient with light domed ammunition. Shoots well at maximum range in HW45's, LP8's, MP53's and others.

If you shoot a lot, these'll cost 'ya.

they llive up to the JSB reputation. Accuracy out of my guns is always good with these pellets

price

1/2 inch group at 15 yds with QB Chief. group could be even tighter if i didnt count the flyer. They work decently well in all my air guns

Very impressed with the performance and quality.

Nothing at all.

Excellent pellet. Well worth the money.

I order 12 tins of the JSB RS pellets every 3 or 4 months. All of CO2 rifles and pistols love these pellets. Only very rarely will I find a damaged or deformed pellet. Quality is excellent.

Nothing

See above

I had used these before this purchase. I bought one tin of the Expresses because I was out and needed it to test in a new airgun. I am currently using the 8.44 grain JSB's in a 12 ft lb gun and thought that the Expresses might work a little better. Time will tell. Personally, I like JSB pellets better than the other brands I have tried because I find less variation of both size and weight.

Nothing.

JSB quality and accuracy . SECOND TO NONE !

I purchased the JSB Exact RS based on a previous purchase of the JSB test pack . DO YOURSELF A FAVOR ,and buy test packs of ANY brand of pellets ! Saves an INCREDIBLE amount of money !!! Good luck in finding the "1".enjoy the journey , shoot often , and above all , be safe out there , people !!

Very accurate shooting pellet. Of course accuracy is mostly in the hand and gun of the shooter, but with a good gun and steady hand these are very accurate.

The most accurate pellet I have tried in an Air Arms S510 Extra Ultimate Sporter when shooting at the lowest setting. You can stack them on top of each other at 35 yards. This pellet seems to really hit a sweet spot with this configuration. I have compared it on a bench with JSB Exact Heavy, Crosman Premier Destroyer, Gamo Whisper, Red Fire and Blue Flame. The JSB Heavy is the closest, about 1" off but with a consistent grouping, likely due to the increased weight at the lowest power setting. The other tested pellets are just fliers, all over the place.

Only issues I encountered are the same with any other pellet tin: a few skirts are deformed, but somehow they still shoot great. I believe this is simply unavoidable with delivering pellets in a tin, unless they are packed individually.

Buy more than one tin because these are awesome.

This pellet is the most accurate round nose in both of my FWB 300s...I get the speed I need with JM springs while keeping that one hole accuracy out to 50 yds...

After 35 yrs of some pretty serious airgunning, $12 for tin of 500 pellets seems steep...I guess my attitude is what I'd change.

Your magnum airblaster is a PELLET gun!!
It's not a laser death ray...accuracy is everything.
