Well the story goes that they are now the only pellet manufacturer in China. They're so good that they were used by the Chinese shooters at the world champs of some sort and cleaned up - after that there were no sales for the other brands. I'm keen as mustard to try them in the Air Chief as it doesn't seem to like any of the other pellets I've tried! I grabbed the domed ones as mentioned plus some of the pointed and streamline? versions. I'm also trying to get them to source some .22 pellets for me. I've asked for the minimum buy they would need and waiting on a their response.

| They have 4.49mm heads or just 4.50mm? |

Sold as 4.50mm but will have a measure when they arrive and advise. I believe they are of very high quality and consistency. Frankly, even though we all know they perform well, I don't believe what JSB puts on their tins any more. ------------- FX Wildcat MK111 BT Sniper .25 Walther Reign M2 .22 Evanix AR6 .22 FX Dreamline Classic .22 Cometa Fenix 400 .177 Weihrauch HW50 .177 Air Chief Junior .177 ($100 Challenge) |

| It's a pity we don't have the communities of shooters like they do in the UK. I know all the FT guys get samples of batches and when they find a batch that works in their guns, they buy in bulk. I remember when I was in England, guys were buying trays of pellets like we buy trays of eggs. |

I was going thru the site for them and they put them out in 4.50 tins and 4.49 mm tins. So hope fully they are marked. Sig prefured 4.49mm in AA. Also according AA arms review, 2022, they only make them 177 and have no intention of making any other cal. Any site I've found that says they have 22 don't have them. |

The ones available here now (not many left by the look of it) are in 4.50mm only. Looking at the QYS site there is no 5.5mm option as you say. ------------- FX Wildcat MK111 BT Sniper .25 Walther Reign M2 .22 Evanix AR6 .22 FX Dreamline Classic .22 Cometa Fenix 400 .177 Weihrauch HW50 .177 Air Chief Junior .177 ($100 Challenge) |

QYS are a premium match grade pellet. I swore by JSB exact express in my TX200, but the QYS Streamlined grouped even better. I want to try the 9.56gr ones but they cant get them apparently.. I suppose the more they sell the more they may get different ones in. Also, if you want a good allround pellet for air pistols / lower powered air rifles then have a look at the RWS Club or Geco pellets - insanely cheap for german practice match pellets. Their RWS R10 are also top grade german pellets at an excellent price. Always good service from Shooting Stuff too. ------------- https://www.instagram.com/js_airguns/" rel="nofollow - J S Airguns Air Arms TX200('s) Theoben Sirocco HW77 FWB 300s Webley Patriot One or two others...

Received my batch this morning. The quality of the pellets and the packaging is impressive considering where it's come from. The Air Chief is going to get a workout tonight!   ------------- FX Wildcat MK111 BT Sniper .25 Walther Reign M2 .22 Evanix AR6 .22 FX Dreamline Classic .22 Cometa Fenix 400 .177 Weihrauch HW50 .177 Air Chief Junior .177 ($100 Challenge) |

Can't see the air chief doing much but wasting good pellets. Still we live in hope. Did read a 2022 artical that reckoned they would be making .22 pellets by end of year. Still find any but ppl advertise them. Be keen to see what results ppl get from thier guns with them. |

The issue is that Shooting Stuff caters very much for match shooters so even having the .177 dome / pointed pellets is quite a step away from their usual demand - .22 may be a step too far unless they had sufficient pre-orders ------------- https://www.instagram.com/js_airguns/" rel="nofollow - J S Airguns Air Arms TX200('s) Theoben Sirocco HW77 FWB 300s Webley Patriot One or two others...

I have asked them to come back to me with the minimum order quantity they'd need to proceed. They're very helpful as you said so I guess it's the best opportunity we have of getting our hands on some (if they're actually available of course). ------------- FX Wildcat MK111 BT Sniper .25 Walther Reign M2 .22 Evanix AR6 .22 FX Dreamline Classic .22 Cometa Fenix 400 .177 Weihrauch HW50 .177 Air Chief Junior .177 ($100 Challenge) |

Hardly - at $21 for a tin of 500? Sure, you can buy a tin of 500 for $15-$17 but they really are a waste and do nothing but discourage their users, especially those starting out. ------------- FX Wildcat MK111 BT Sniper .25 Walther Reign M2 .22 Evanix AR6 .22 FX Dreamline Classic .22 Cometa Fenix 400 .177 Weihrauch HW50 .177 Air Chief Junior .177 ($100 Challenge) |

Kiwi, are all those tins the same? Two looked like they were black tins. Id be keen to try out the domed ones in .177. What weights do they come in? I wonder if the do sample packs? I'm currently testing the H&N hunting pellet sample pack... Video to follow soon. ------------- Walk quietly, but carry a big stick. |

There's three different pellet types in the photo, domed, pointed and streamline. The pointed were old stock on special, the others are new stock at $21 per tin of 500. All three types are 8.48gr. All viewable on https://www.shootingstuff.co.nz/ Contact Julie, she's very helpful. ------------- FX Wildcat MK111 BT Sniper .25 Walther Reign M2 .22 Evanix AR6 .22 FX Dreamline Classic .22 Cometa Fenix 400 .177 Weihrauch HW50 .177 Air Chief Junior .177 ($100 Challenge) |

I don't think they have sample packs. Pete, I reckon they are worth trying. Especially for the S510. I haven't shot them yet, although I received my 3 tins today, but have heard and seen only good things about them, and the quality at first look is very good.

I might have to take back my earlier comments about JSB pellets  Put some QYS pellets of the three different types through the Air Chief tonight with pretty unimpressive results which was disappointing, but probably not surprising, considering how bad the gun has been. However, I decided to put some JSB's through to finish off the night and produced my best result to date with the gun! I'm pretty chuffed considering I'd gone back to a 1x32 red dot (Nikko Stirling this time) rather than the 4x32AO I had been using previously. Some of the credit for this though comes from the improvement in my technique and use of a more solid rest.   ------------- FX Wildcat MK111 BT Sniper .25 Walther Reign M2 .22 Evanix AR6 .22 FX Dreamline Classic .22 Cometa Fenix 400 .177 Weihrauch HW50 .177 Air Chief Junior .177 ($100 Challenge) |

That's pretty impressive for that rifle. Is it repetable and do ten shot groups hold up as well? |

I’m a long time fan of QYS so I was delighted that I was able to replenish my stock of domes - which are now sold out. Thought I’d mention that there are some very good reviews of the pointed pellets so they could be worth a buy, and especially at the discounted price. |

 JSB ROCK!!!  Having said that, I'm in the middle of testing the H&N sample pack of "hunting pellets" and I am suitably impressed with 3 of the H&N offerings. To the point where I'm considering buying a tin and using them for a while to see how they go. Just waiting to get out to 40m, ON A WINDLESS DAY for the final tests. But JSB still rock!!!

Both my crossman use jsb hades. I've sorted through the tins before, they arn't that uniform over all. Still crossman like em, followed by AA. Then stoeger, then fft. I've found h@n vary to much from tin to tin. Also over buying tins, that arnt any good. Having said that I turn to AA for dis tance,. |

How are those QYS pellets going in your guns? The H&N test pack was great at 20, two were good at 40, but shocked the heck out of me when I tried them at 80! Really weird! If you havent seen the video watch it., I cant explain what happened to the FTT's at 80m  Shooting stuff only have the pointed QYS and the streamline QYS. Any reviews or remarks you guys have on them? Ive just ordered a few more tins of JSB Exacts, price has just gone up from $25 to $35 Thats quite a jump! So the QYS at $17 and $21 dont seem to bad, although the one I wanted to try is the domed one and they are sold out??? Why didnt they order more? ------------- Walk quietly, but carry a big stick. |

I got some domed ones. Shooting them through my Uragan I tried a quick 50m group and got 4 within a bottle top. I also used them on a couple of pigeon jobs and at 12 fpe they dropped pigeons perfectly. I'm really pleased with them, and glad I got 3 tins. |

I'm only shooting at 10m at the moment, I don't have anything setup outdoors due to weather, neighbours and other current limitations. The JSBs shot better in the project gun than any of the three QYS types, but that's hardly a fair comparison. I have a new toy on order, possibly to replace the Cometa (lovely gun but still a little too heavy for the wife), which will be a better test of the difference hopefully. ------------- FX Wildcat MK111 BT Sniper .25 Walther Reign M2 .22 Evanix AR6 .22 FX Dreamline Classic .22 Cometa Fenix 400 .177 Weihrauch HW50 .177 Air Chief Junior .177 ($100 Challenge) |
