JTS Deadcenter ammo .20 cal
- Thread starter JTS
- Start date
That new comp ready wood stock springer selling for $150 according to your rep would be perfect in .20 cal.
Can we also get a comp ready under lever with a Woodstock in .20 cal? Please…no magazines. Single shot is still very viable (notice the competition from Weihrauch and Air Arms have not gone to magazines for their break barrels).

You get a higher B.C., maintain some of the higher speed, and most of all maintain the more stable configuration for the pellet. Jam packing weight into a .177 cal isn’t helpful when you could move up a caliber and maintain the more stable shape of domed pellets. Notice how different the JSB monsters look compared to an 8.4 grain; an 8.4 grain is more stable and used more readily in FT for that reason

They sure did name those good.
0 - 50 M fine
Somewhere between 50 M and 86 M, Chaos
Or that is here i am thinking the Beasts, i actually never shot a single monster pellet.
I have realized the monster redesigns, are,,,,,,,, finicky VS a regular pellet, also why when i have shot 86 M with pellets it have always been the 10.34 gr ones.

I am a fan of NSA .20 slugs 18.9 grain in my Air Force Escape UL, and the 14.9 do great in my Blue Streak, It will also shoot the heavies with good down range energy.
Maybe something in the heavier weight no other pellet brands offer now ?

You may not, but the bottom line is an airgun company is interested and willing to bring new things to the market, that's not one bit a bad thing and a win for the sport/hobby.
Other companies see it happen, they might step up themselves and either bring back old product or make a few new things themselves.

Sure.
I should maybe have emphasized my personally more in that post, i would hate if i was a nuisance or a outright problem for other people.
I am 100 % pro more individual choice, something you dont get as a Dane, where you have 100 % choice,,,, among the merchandise in the company shop only.
Actually just read a news article, 33 % of Danes would be OK with government totally banning the sale of tobacco, tobacco is to blame for about 16000 Danes dying every year.
That i think say a little about " my " people.
I would never tell another person what to put in their face, i might tell a child of mine that some things are not good to put in your face.
My sole problem here is, ppl that are not good to them self ( myself included to some degree ) well they are a big item on the annual budget of the public healthcare here.
drugs ( illegal ) and alcohol cost society here about 4 billion DKkr a year,,,,,, you could buy a few F35 planes and 155 mm shells for that, maybe even get the cannons on your warships to be useful / able to shoot and hit something, which they have not been able to for well over a decade now.

Should have never sold my HW97 in 20 cal. Still my favorite springer. Would like a lighter weight PCP in 20 for around the house pests.

Not a nuisance or any kind of problem, my friend, was just the idea that any company actually wanting to step out and give something a chance is a good thing for the sport/hobby we all enjoy and just maybe, it might well find it's way to you, all the way over in Denmark.
I'd never try and tell anyone what to put in their face either. The risks are well known around the world, no matter what the bad habit might well be and if they still choose to, it's on them for taking that risk.
Maybe someday, some company, somewhere can just possibly get some rifles in .20 cal to retailers in your country so if you wanted to, you could at least give one an honest try. You might well end up disliking it and that's all well and good, but at least you'd have the chance

I still enjoy shooting my 20 cal 95 & 97 & Diana M48 springers and my 20 cal Air Force Talonor and Weihrauch HW100 PCPs

Love to see a pcp in the 18-30 fpe range. Lightweight, 30+ shots per fill. Short for taking into the brush woods. Quiet. Not too long for easy carry.
Pellets, hmm? 12-16 gr round nose in tins of 500.

That JTS is willing to produce .20 is very smart on their part as it is an under appreciated caliber. Not that I would run out to buy a .20, but there “are” many that are loyal to the .20, through performance. So? Maybe a good opportunity for JTS to grow the base…? Sincerely rooting for you .20 shooters to have more choices.

I would like to see a couple of light weight slugs in .20 caliber.
My very favorite rifle is this Theoben Rapid that Allen Zasadny built.
It shoots the JSB 13.73 with incredible accuracy, it also shoots the heavies well, but not like the light ones.
There’s a bit more power available if tuned again, but no way I’ll touch what Allen has done!
It has a LW barrel and I heard that it’s not for slugs, but I’d be very interested to try a slug in the 13 grain area.

And thanks again for thinking about us. I just relocated a SMALL stash of five cans of light FTTs. SMALl because they are not more than 250 count per can. Please pack them 500 per tin ! ¡ ! Thanks brother. Be Well, Bandito.

Was the downside to having to wait awhile back when no one had the FTT's. No one did because H&N was downsizing the tin size from 500 to 250 and claiming it was issues with the company that makes the pellet tins for them.
Definitely fully on board with 500 count tins of whatever they decide to make (hopefully wadcutters in a couple weights though...lol).

I was out shooting one of my bluestreaks yesterday and I’m into my 2nd to last container of Benjamin 14.3’s. I’d love it to see these reproduced.

Typically it takes 1 calendar year to bring a tested new product to market. Ammo can be quicker though.
