A while back there was a shortage of JSB .25's. My Confession:

[eelect]

I bought a whole bunch late year too only to sell them last week. They don't shoot that good. I'm looking for the older type thin skirted ones. In the two batches I bought one had thick skirts and one batch were identical to Air Arms pellets. Go figure.

Shop around if your happen to be in an area where there is more competition. Walmart allows its managers some room in prices. I live in a semi-rural area and they are $9. At my brothers place they are $2 cheaper per tin. When you find a deal, hoard away.

I'm ordering mine from a vendor in Whoville; I very recently heard there is a large inventory there!

When you get back around to doing reviews, I would like to request the Hatsan at44. It is a very reasonably priced pcp that I have been drooling over for some time.

No guilt required. I'm sure you learned this from professional shooters and Olympic shooters who all do the same thing. Find a batch number that goes straight and buy them out.

Just received three tins of 2015 .25 JSB (Kings in the Netherlands) The 2014 pellets have thinner skirts and the finish is not as nice as the 2015 pellets. At 50 meters the 2015 pellets seem to group a bit better too. (Shot from my LW barrel @ 900 fps) btw In the Netherlands there is still red tape on the cans.

I buy Air Arms .25 cal 25.4gn pellets because I find there are fewer damaged pellets and generally give a "touch" better accuracy in Daystate LW & Hatsan barrels (though not BSA; which doesn't matter). I genuinely don't want to prefer the more expensive AA pellets, and I certainly don't have any bias toward Air Arms. A lady from Air Arms made claims/suggested to me, from which I INFERRED that their brand pellets could be either made specially to their design/specification or that they go through some extra quality control checks.

Strangely, a few years ago I came across boxes (and therefore it must have been entire batches) of Air Arms .177 & .22 pellets that contain many damaged pellets; and that soured my view of them.

If someone of credibility to the airgun world knew someone credible at JSB who could clarify processes for all such brands and then relate such here, then that would be useful. There are a range of conflicting claims on the internet over the manufacturing/processing/branding of JSB pellets.

Consumer and clarity are often strangers.

I have a Hatsan AT44 10 tactical. I had put up a review of it on the reviews section. Used it for the last year or so with more than 10000 pellets put through it. Fantastic gun for the price. Super accurate up to 60 yards. Let me know if u would like to know anything in particular.

These are my empty JSB tins. 36,400 pellets in two years out of a FX500. Wish I could say I hit every time. Have fun, Scott
