Does anyone’s guns NOT like JSB pellets?
And if not, what do they prefer?

My Marauder pistol prefers H&N Ftt (.22). Otherwise everything else I have like JSB or similar pellets from JSB factory.

I used to me a huge H&N fan but now a mixture of both brands. All depends on what the gun likes.

Overall biggest success whit accuracy and stopping power in hunting, and one I still have a soft spot in .177 is the H&N barracuda extreme.

I used to use H&N ftt .177 in my 97k, but a few years ago they must have changed the hardness of the lead, or made them bigger because they got hard to load into the breech, and consistancy suffered.

My old HW100 loved JSB exact.
And so did my little AA S410.
The dreamline liked the H&N baraccuda hunter (not the extreme), but I can’t find any anywhere, so it’s now on a diet of JSB hades which group “ok” at 40m. Not the “one ragged hole” I’m looking for but I think with some tuning it could get there.
My gamo CRF likes H&N barracuda hunter extremes.

The Heavies are a great pellet for high power .177.
AA Fields are JSB made, similarly with Cometa branded pellets - all good options.

I used to use JSB Exact Express in my TX200 when it was short stroked and TBT kit (11 fpe), now changed the setup and it prefers QYS Streamlined... only problem is sourcing the buggers!
