Maybe it\u2019s just me, but I\u2019ve always been a little confused about the names on JSB pellet labels. So I checked around with some friends and they weren\u2019t too sure either\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it was also clear to me that obviously JSB has a system behind the words on its pellet labels. It\u2019s just that I had not been able to comprehend it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, some time back, I spoke to Pavel Kolabec \u2013 JSB\u2019s main man \u2013 and asked for his help to translate the meaning of the words on JSB pellet labels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you might imagine, it\u2019s actually quite simple when you know! Pavel did explain also that these names have grown up over the many years JSB has been manufacturing pellets. This means that some of them have a more complex, historical, logic behind the name that I\u2019ve omitted here for simplicity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So here is your easy-to-follow guide to understanding JSB pellet labels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below, the JSB Exact Diabolo 8.44 Grain pellet<\/a>. Exact means .177 caliber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Calibers<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Firstly, it\u2019s important to know that some of the words on JSB pellet labels actually describe the caliber of the pellets. These words are used in many cases instead of the numeric caliber itself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, some calibers are actually identified by numbers. For example .20, .35 etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Weights<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Some of the words are used to describe the general weight of the pellet. The precise weight is also indicated on the label in Grains and grams, of course. And note that there\u2019s no name on JSB pellet labels for middle weight. It\u2019s a middle weight pellet if there is no other weight name on the label.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Below. The JSB Jumbo Monster is a .22 caliber, super-heavy pellet. In fact, it weighs 25.39 Grains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pellet Types<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Some of the words indicate the pellet type. These can cover the pellet shape, or its intended use. Like these\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note that EXACT is also used as an overall brand name on many JSB pellet labels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More Pellet Types<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

There are also other descriptive words used for more pellet types. Really, I just broke these out to avoid making the previous table too long and complex to read!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below. JSB King Heavy pellets<\/a> are for .25 caliber and weigh 33.95 Grains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Special Match Pellet Types<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Given JSB\u2019s historical background in developing and manufacturing wadcutter pellets for precision match competition, it\u2019s not surprising that there\u2019s also a group of names specifically dedicated to this type of airgun sport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So that\u2019s it. Really it\u2019s easy and obvious to understand JSB pellet labels when you know how! I hope that this guide will help you in future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, you can find a wide variety of JSB pellets<\/a> in stock at Airguns of Arizona.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
