Just got a batch of the new JSB Beast pellets

[blackdiesel]

Now that I see them I don't have high hopes on how they will perform.  The picture on the advertisement showed a diabolo style pellet.  These pellets look like a long cylinder with a round head.  Stay tuned- I will try them out this weekend.

[Dairyboy]

So there shaped like the 25gr monsters? Or like a .177 AA 10.34?

[blackdiesel]

There's a hink of a skirt so not exactly like the monsters. More like the 28 gr Skenco NewBoy Seniors 

[Motorhead]

Well if Akin to the .177 10.3 & 13.4 straight waist design which are STELLAR pellets in a PCP don't discount the design just yet 

[Ribbonstone]

Can only relate to the .177's. 

Heavy weight pellets tested (as out the box in L-R order)

13.4gr JSB
15gr H&N Sniper Mag
16.1gr Eun Jin
16.2gr JSB
16.4gr H&N Baracuda Mag
21gr  H&N Piledriver



Don't discount that pellet shape....of the heavy .177's tested, the 13.4 and 16.2 JSB's have shot well in every .177 tested so far (9 rifles).   The 21gr. PileDrivers haven't shot really well in any of the 9 and the "traditional" shaped 16.4 H&N Baracuda mag has only found 1 out of 9 rifles that shoots it well.

It's not a bad shape, has the potential for accuracy.

Wonder why they, the Beasts, don't show up on JSB's or Predator Intl. site. Not much info out about these new pellets.

I'm guessing they are too long for the AT-44 mag, right?  I know you got them for the Sumatra...

Cool looking pellet,...makes me wanna buy a Sumatra .22

[Whatsquirrel]

Let's some accuracy out of that Sumatra. I've been looking for a heavy pellet for my Sumatra to smack a pig with. Keep us posted.

[rsterne]

Well that is the most unusual pellet I have seen from JSB.... Perhaps they had had little success with a lot of the heavy cylindrical pellets so they have come up with a Diabolo with a long skirt with a shallow taper.... I'll be interested in hearing how these work.... They are about 0.005" longer than a Hatsan magazine, but the slot in the receiver is wide enough they might still work.... They will be too long for a stock .22 cal MRod magazine, but should work in a .25 cal MRod mag. with a .22 cal wheel installed in it.... I'm planning a new build with a .22 cal TJ's barrel that is 1/2" OD, so I will build the receiver around that idea.... The 16" twist of the barrel I have should tame those no problem....

I can't wait to see how they perform in various rifles. The Monsters in .22 are absolute blech.

They have a similar design for .177 pellets too.

I think you should buy one.  Then you could shoot all the pigs at farther than 25 yards.  Bacon for years!  Those piggies are a real problem where you are aren't they?

Nice! The magazines for my Rainstorm-I are 12mm = .4725" or 15/32". Just ordered a tin of .22 Beasts & JSB Ultra Shock Hollowpoints along with the .25 Heavies & MK-II.

Please let us know how they all do, especially if you can stretch them out past 50 yards

OK, now tell me something, how deep is the Skirt?

If that skirt is very deep your loading probe will not push these past the Transfer Port, just like the H&N Grizzly Pellets do, the hollow base on some of these pellets are so deep that with a multi shot AG even if they load in the Mag they will not push far enough past the air port and accuracy will be in the dirt! That is if the loading probe is of a needle style!
