Shot mine today at 25yds, starting at 2500psi. Getting good groups (when there ain't flyers) shooting off a bench. Groups are nickel size except for the flyers. I am shooting JSB15.8gr and they have a soft skirt. I'd like to be confident in ALL shots (you never know where the flyer is going to come) so any suggestions on pellet choices to try?
The head dia on my 15.8's is 5.52.
The new tins I have of JSB 18.13gr are not marked with head dia. any chart available?
Thanks for any info you folks can give!

Should be a sticker on the bottom of the JSB tins with the head size on it.
If its anything like mine was (ok groups but lots of flyers with JSBs), it won't shoot any other pellets too well.

Hey Paul, don't automatically jump to the expensive pellets with the QB guns. A lot of the guys have reported excellent results with unexpectedly cheap pellets, so try different ones and you might be surprised. My QB's all like a group of different pells including the daisy and cheaper Crosmans. Let us know what you find.

My QB really likes the JSB exact expresses at 14.35gr. I mean REALLY like 'em.
Surprisingly, the CPHP's shoot well enough out of the gun too. So do the RWS Super HP's. Still, the JSB's are the best. Mine didn't really like the Eunjin pellets and I'm thinking that staying on the lighter or mid weight range is better.
Mine is regulated at 1100 psi.

The tin that I just received from Amazon measured dead-on 5.50mm as typical.

OK thanks nervoustrigger....I don't have a caliper marked off in mm., just 1000ths.
Thanks for the jsb info, my newer tins aren't marked like my older ones with a sticker.
