Quality control standards are usually stipulated by the customer , I find Falcons to be very good, I also keep several tins of Webley Mosquito (JSB Express) from 2008 which produce the best groups in my Hw100 of any pellet.
So from my experience branded pellets are not inferior to JSB branded products.
