JSB IS On IT! JSB King Heavy 33.95gr

[Bwalton]

Lot 546398-150 : big ones
The skirts have a diameter of .261.
I forced five through a Hatsan magazine, and they all ended up with even symmetrical compression to a diameter of .256

David that is huge! I like these pellets so much! But I can not use them with a skirt that big, I mean they will work, but I know that  they can be much better....

If you guys think that the standard 25.4 gr. Kings are much smaller, you are sadly mistaken.... The heads measure 0.250", but the skirts are 0.006-0.008" larger, just as they should be, and are in nearly all brands of pellets.... I just measured 10 brand new Kings from an unopened tin, using digital calipers and a micrometer, and got anywhere from 0.256"-0.258" for virtually every measurement, and I did two measurements per pellet at roughly 90* to each other.... The skirts are all out of round from 0.001-0.002" on EVERY pellet, and on a couple of the pellets that were the most out of round, the largest skirt measurement ran 0.2585"-0.2590".... If I had to give an average skirt measurement, that would be 0.257"....

I understand that some of you are having problem with the way they fit in magazines.... However, .25 cal airgun barrels run from 0.250" - 0.254" groove measurement, depending on brand, so the skirt on the standard 25 gr. Kings are sized by the barrel even at the breech end, let alone if the barrel is choked.... If JSB make the new pellets smaller than the original Kings, I will be MOST upset....

Just because one JSB pellet will deliver 1/2" groups at 50 yards does NOT mean that a different one will in the same gun.... Try the 13.4 gr. RS, 14.3 gr Express, 15.9 gr. Exact, 18.2 gr. Heavy and 25.4 gr. Monster in a .22 cal, and I will almost GUARANTEE they won't all shoot the same....

That's exactly what I was thinking,....I say leave them alone they are shooting good as is.

on edit-
it case my comment above was taken in any sort of negative context, it was NOT intended that way.
I meant only to be joking around, and was not trying to incite anything, or create a less than productive exchange.

I apologize if anyone took it for more than me just clowning around.

Seem like they would make the shirks the same size as the Kings.  After all, the reason there is so much interest in the new pellets is because the Kings performed so well.  Most, including me, were looking forward to a heavier version with the same performance as the Kings.  I'm not too concerned because Barracuda pellets shoot well in both of my 25 cals and they're only 3 grains lighter than the JSB heavy pellets.
