    Does it matter what country pellets come from?

    I bought some pellets on and they have just arrived from Hungary. Does it matter with regards to quality?

    I watched "how its made" once and they were making tape measures and depending on the tolerance in accuracy depended what country they went to!

    Does that same apply to pellets?

    Two layers. JSB are a name for pellets and they are czchec. Quality counts and JSB end being rebranded by other makers such as webly daystate air arms etc.

    The 2nd is your barrel. If they love bulldog megakillz explosive tipped armour piercing bunny slayrz then great. If they love jsb exact express the great too.

    Up to you to find the pellet that works in your barrel but bear in mind that even a small change from say 4.52 head size to 4.53 or 4.51 cqn have an amazing change in grouping.

    Even which die can have an effect as well as lead composition...is it pure lead or is there alloy like antimony in it?

    I bought them on evil-bay. £7 for a tin of 250 JSB Jumbo rs.

    Just had a look and that site is just over £14 with shipping.

    What matters is the brand and the batch details, different die's will produce fractionally different pellets.
