I read the article with interest as it appears to completely contradict the findings of Gary Wain's extensive series of damaged pellet tests, published last year in the same magazine!
I am pleased to see this as it falls far more in line with my own experiences.
I have now stopped using JSB Exact Jumbos in favour of H&N FTTs, as the long, soft skirts of the JSBs are too prone to damage in the tin. Not to mention the mixture of types that I am finding in my current batch!
