O'boy ..... good news & sure hope there head sized right and not coming out too small so as the dies wear they get to spec sometime later in life.
15.89 can barely be made out ... is that correct ?
-
It's either 15.89 or 15.69 ........ not much difference, but Likely 15.89 :D.
-
Awesome I'm sure they will shoot well out of my .20 Beeman RX-2
-
I was hoping they'd be more along the lines of 18 grains.
-
15.89 guys! Think it's long over due for the .20s
-
🔼 Agreed.
-
I want some, Looks good for the 20 cal thanks ,JSB
-
further fuel to justify saving my pennies for a .20 … Or hearing from Ex #1 saying "Here's your 'Streak"
-
Whoo-Hoo!
Long live the .20 !!!
-
I own 4 .20's...get 'em on the shelves and I'll add a few tins to my pellet stash.
-
And hearing only crickets from the .20 is dead crowd...
-
Join us or chase us pretty much ...
-
I will be trying some of these, too.
-
I know that the RX-2 likes the JSB pellets already so I will probably order two tins of the heavies to try
-
What does the M 72/09 on the bottom of the label mean?
-
This is great news for PCP's and MSP's; probably not such great news for piston guns.
What piston guns need is another 11ish grain pellet.
-
My Webley VMX rifles shoot the JSB 13.73 at about a 720 average, so they should easily handle the 15.89 weight.
-
Mine surpasses 800 , so this may tame the critter down a little.
-
They should be out around January. They are 15.89gr.
-

.
Here is your answer:
JSB is using a new indication of The Czech Proof House for Arms and Ammunition according to Act No. 156/2000 Coll., On verification of firearms, ammunition and pyrotechnic articles, as amended, for all our JSB labels from August 2017.
The pellets are the same, only labels are changed according to the new rules. No. 72/09 is new indication of The Czech Proof House for Arms and Ammunition. Now we use different numbers for each calibre.

Pacing the floor...
I just gotta try them even if only to show there is interest in .20 development
-
Where would one get a .20 barrel?? I may have to build a .20 early next year if these pellets do well in y'alls guns. I've always wanted one.
-
Good news! the more choices, the better. 20 is my fav caliber between 12-20 fpe
-

AMEN TO THAT
-
I'm definitely going to have to get a .20 Condor.
-
Call me crazy, but I want a .20 variant of my 2400KT. The cost of the barrel and probe would be worth it in every respect. A heavy dome would mean such a gun would be loopy but dang it, I lob .25 Polymags with surgical precision already, so these pellets just make it even more desirable.
-
Call me crazy
Crazy.
That said, .... a .20 based on the 2240 - 2400 platform? That would be SO nice!
I'd be all in! Somewhere there has to be a barrel... and I bet one could reduce a .22 probe a couple thou....right?
If you start a thread for info let me know.
-
Also from me-
"Whoo-Hoo!
Long live the .20 !!!"
Would also like to see some 18-19
but just glad to something
NEW
and .20
together
ya ;D

I knew I wasn't the only person thinking this is a great idea.
Smaller probe, sidelever action breech, shrouded with magazine, add a Ninja bottle set to 1350-ish with an RVA and massaged trigger. Yeah, be an expensive build but a compact bottle-carbine spitting mag-fed .20s? Besides, everybody knows 2240s are designed to be modified. Most of the leg-work for efficiency, trigger mods, and bottle-feeding is already there. Reason I'd lean toward a bottle and HPA is 15+ grains will be a little loopy on CO2. Not saying it wouldn't be fun, but for max effect, HPA would really make them shine.
For that matter, a 1701/2240 hybrid...
This is a great time to be an airgunner.
EDIT: LW has .20 listed for $112 before shipping. There's a number of ODs listed- .47, 59, .63 For a project gun, seems like a reasonable starting point.

Been researching "2040"

Been researching "2040"
I probably should have started there... About to go start some home projects but I'll be following.
-
For me, a .20 HW barrel on a Taipan Veteran. The inevitability of this happening is certain.
-
Your guys need to get into or back into the .20 realm. May have to do a giveaway of a tin.
Any ideas?

I did a review & testing of the new JSB .20 pellets last month. Below is the link ;

I wound up finding a NOS .20 LW 16" barrel on ebay and am building one in an old Benjiman 392P stock.

Lol. Sorry for laughing but according to those supposedly in the know about all things airgun related, .20 is a dead caliber, didn't you know?? People like me were foolish for wasting money buying the Beeman R9 in .20 I got from a fellow member and not one but 3 Webley Valuemax .20's because ammo for them was gonna dry up and we'd all have useless guns. Apparently those same people also never considered the 10's of thousands of owners who still have Sheridans in the caliber, still buy Weihrauch/Beeman, Air Force or Daystate rifles and the ones like Hoosier, Tony and likely a lot of others who are or want to build rifles in .20 and don't belong to GTA so you never hear from them.
You wanna consider giving one or three away, pick anyone in this thread with a positive response to those new pellets a tin to play with so they can, then come back here, review them and get the word spreading. Just my usual lame 2 cents, apologies for the rant :)
-
Steve, that was BRILLIANT!
;D 8) ;)
-
I think I have a rifle or two in .20. I would have to check the stable.
-
Ha Ha!
Wouldn't it be easier for you to count what you have that aren't?
;D
-
You are right !
I have 3 that are NOT .20.
Rare Colt Government 1911A .177
Gamo Rifle .177
Rare Smith & Wesson 77A in .22
-
on occasion I meet people looking for .20 pellets, I tell them about Pyramyd Air, and that our local Fleet Farms also carry them. Must be a few old .20's out there yet if people are looking for ammo ;)
