JSB Knock Outs 10gr .177

Well, that is one helluva list of defns Kruzaroad!
The M no. meaning is a secret huh? Just gummint codes probably with no logical meaning assigned by the Head Gummint Bean Counter...

God I miss working for the gummint, driving around in the 4WD all day, (Kruzing da road) easily keeping the boss happy by every now and then pinging a poacher. But with my big mouth there's no way i was never going to get promoted...and it took dumb me 11 years to figure out that you must tell the boss what he wants to hear rather than the reality of the situation.   No regerts though - I'd likely be useless half dead and rotting wood by now if i was still working for the gummint.

Ja it has to do with regulations from the Czech government.
Because JSB pellets are manufactured in Czech republic, I believe it is a code to indicate which caliber and class of ammunition it is.
I guess rim fire would probably have a different code? And military ammo another code...???

Hundred less slugs in one tin?

Hey Pete that pellet data base has jsb knock out slugs. Your research would be awesome on it. If you want to add it.

So after re-tuning little Emma for the 10grainers on monday, I took her out to work on monnday night.
12 rabbits and a hare. Collected 5 rabbits and the hare for further investigations.
Shots were mostly just over 40yards, with one at 76yards.

From the 6 carcasses I retrieved 5 slugs. All of them had deformed to some extent, 3 of them beautifully.
The pass through was a side on head shot at 43yards.
The hare was a diagonal head shot, through the eye, the brain and slug was recovered under the skin on the back of the head! Thats all of... 7 ? cm?
The 76yard shot was base of the back of head of a rabbit, slug recovered in the mouth/cheek just under the skin. That might be even less than 7cm! Amazing.

I am blown away by these little slugs, (and they really are little! Flippen tiny when you are trying to load them into a magazine with big sausage fingers!)
Their ability to mushroom, dump all of their energy into the target and come to a complete stop with in 10, 8, 5cm... is truly amazing.

From a pest control perspective, where I'm shooting on other peoples property it really gives you a little piece of mind knowing your projectile has a 95% chance of not exiting your target, and its going to give it a serious smack too!

But at 22FPE, I'll still reserve them for big properties
Little Elly with her 12.4FPE 8.44grain Exacts is still my first choice for small properties.

Last night I shot a rat at 32yards. Was a neck shot angled into the body.
Necropsyed it this morning
Slug entered left side of the neck, just behind the head, smashed through the spine completely severing it into two (a rats spine is about the diameter of a pen), top of the lungs and into the abdominal cavity.
Recovered perfectly mushroomed.
I’d love to know if it expanded before or after it went through the vertebrae, but I guess I’ll never know.
It performed perfectly, dumped all of its 22FP of energy into the rat (pole axed it on the spot) and came to a stop in 7 or 8cm.
You can’t ask for better performance!
