4.52 has to come from somewhere and I took a punt it might be the average of the two...

Probably nothing to do with it though Geek

Pete, probably just a coincidence, but if you average the average skirt and head sizes of the Exact 4.52, you get 4.5225.....

Hi Kiwi,
It’s a rainy day here and after reading your post I thought I’d measure a pellets too, for my own curiosity.
I have two tins of JSB exact .177 8.44gr. One is supposedly 4.51mm (I won’t call it head size because we know no part of the pellets conform to those measurements 😂) and the other tin is 4.52mm
I randomly selected 10 from each half used tin and measured head and skirt diameter, as best as I could.
What ever inaccuracies there may be with my measuring should at least be consistent over all 20 pellets 😂.
My take always are as folows: the 4.52mm has a slightly bigger skirt, as you would expect, but seems to have a slightly smaller head… go figure? 😂😂😂

Then just for some extra frustration I measured 10 JSB express 7.87gr, which are also supposed to be 4.52mm.
Yes the weight is different, but you’d expect the measurements to be the same… Humm 🤔

And lastly some gamo 10X. I have always noticed the Gamos are tighter going into the breech, the head size shows why.

I then worked out the average of each, the max and min sizes and the extream spread for each column.

Rainy days….

Great, I had ordered a couple tins in April, and was waiting to hear of the stock coming in, so hopefully not too far away.]]> Sun, 24 Sep 2023 05:12:08 +0000 www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=895&PID=8129#8129 Extreme pellet testing : Are they coming from a NZ supplier?... www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=895&PID=8128#8128 Author: KiwiTR6

Are they coming from a NZ supplier? Was keen to try them, but were out of stock.
[/QUOTE]

Yep, they have been invoiced for them so shouldn't be too far away - I've ordered 4 tins at this stage.

Hi Gavin

Pricing will be $21.07 per tin (plus local shipping).

If you would like to go ahead can you please advise your address details and I will put an order in my system for you.

A pellet skirt thickness checker to eliminate possible unbalanced wobbles in flight hummm…
I’m sure it would help when shooting under perfect conditions, maybe like indoors.
But you’d need to be a really top class shooter and know your equipment very well to notice a difference in your pellet flight like that 👍🏻
Having said all of that, I’d have taken all the help I could have gotten tonight, trying to brain bunnies at 50 and 60yards in the wind and the rain! A exercise in frustration if ever there was one!
Finished up on 25, so not a bad night in the end, but went through 5 mags of pellets to get those 25 rabbits 😂
I hate shooting in the wind.]]> Sat, 23 Sep 2023 17:37:52 +0000 www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=895&PID=8124#8124 Extreme pellet testing : KiwiTR6 wrote:Wow that's... www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=895&PID=8123#8123 Author: Pauly5

For me, I have some QYS pellets on order.  It'll be interesting to see how they perform in the $100 challenge gun!
