JSB Lead Free Pelllets

[nurek]

It looks like JSB are preparing for the lead ban by introducing a full range of lead free pellets:

Has anyone tried them?

I might have to stock up on the traditional lead ones, you never know when these will be banned...

Small tins no doubt full price!!

The weight of the .25 cal pellets at just under 17 gn look interesting for sub 12fp.
More than likely expensive though.

...agreed Les. Also the .22 under 12 grains could be pretty flat too. Look forward to hearing about serious road tests on these

I can't seem to find a price or stockist ??.
I have some Pax Dynamic lead free pellets,they are similar to the Exterminator pellet at 9.5 gr but are longer and the material they are made from is a lot harder then lead,they don't distort much on impact even on a metal plate target.
I will get some and report back, provided they are not to steep in price.

Maybe I'm a luddite, maybe I'm just plain old boring, sceptical and cynical, but these lighter lead free pellets I fear will exhibit inferior BCs to our trusted, well-developed lead pellets, and those higher muzzle velocities won't be replicated downrange.

Coupled to the high cost and my (maybe unfounded?) fear of potential damage to our delicate bores, this translates to me never feeling the need to try them out.

If certain types were found to be superior to good, old fashioned lead at some point in the future, and the bore damage fears allayed, I might at that point be prepared to give them a go, but then there would always be the cost issue to consider, especially as I only shoot for pleasure.
