Pellets - poor design or poor manufacturing?

Just an observation which raises my question. Shooting Resigned Monster pellets in my Pulsar HP results in one tagged hole for as many as I shoot, yeah maybe a flyer once in a while, but very rarely. When shooting the old style monster pellets I'll get maybe 5-6 shots in a row into a small ragged hole, then the next shot might be to the right then the next shot might be to the left or high or low, then the next few shots back into the same hole, and so on. In other words the old style monsters are inconsistent. Okay for backyard target practice but I'd never trust them for hunting.

It seems to me that if the fault was in the design then those pellets would always give me consistently bad results. But this isn't the case, the results are always mixed, and consistently more good than bad. And this isn't just with one odd tin, I've been through a number of tines and it's always the same. That leads me to conclude that the fault must somehow be in the manufacturing.

Just wondering what others may think?
 
Ever since I started using CARM MAGAZINES in my select few (one of each example for example) Daystate Pulsar and Renegade the head scratching fliers seem to have went away when shooting JSBs.

YOU REALLY got a PROBLEM if you're SHOOTING yours SINGLE LOADED though!


I altered the Daystate magazines myself and now they work fine.

Like I said the old style Monsters are always inconsistent and the Redesigned are always spot on.

The CARM magazines won't allow a blank fire shot. The last 10th chamber is blocked off.

May I suggest a 2nd test, if you are shooting out of a magazine, try single loading and see if you get the same or similar results. I size the heads of my pellets .02mm smaller than the skirt as I feel there is just too much inconsistency in off the shelf Diabolo pellets. I do other pellet preening too. 
 
Single loading exact same result. This is not a complaint, the gun obviously like the Redesigned pellets. I'm just trying to understand the reason for the old style being a combination of both good and bad, not completely one or the other. Other guns I own shoot a given pellet either always good or always not good.

I would have to believe it is a manufacturing issue, not a design issue. As you note, why would "most" (5-6 then a shift then 5-6 good again sounds like most are good) shoot well and then a few shift left or right randomly? Seems like it would be a quality control/variance issue but this stuff is so strange sometimes one may never know.

I recently got an HW100 carbine and took some 7.9 Crosmans to rough zero it. They shot so good I didn't even try the "superior" JSB's or H&N's and probably won't as long as the Crosman's continue to shoot into one hole. Never can tell what to expect.
