they may come from the same die they may even be packed by the same bloke on the same day but it depends who by or how they are inspected or graded.its common for firms to use the newst or cleanest dies for them selfs or to have less quality control on some1 elses product.they are better or at least cheaper.

"stuff" is just"stuff" but happieness is hard to find!
Seen that before Barry. Positive proof indeed that JSB Exacts (Pellets) and Daystate FT's are one and the same.

Hi folks,
I had heard that JSB's where made in the old Daystate DI'S and that AA's where made in the same factory???
Has any one else heard this??
Who turned out the lights......
The first part is just gossip as no-one outside the factory would know and the second part is true. I'll go further, the quality of JSB pellets is always very good so IMHO the first part is malicious gossip.

Except that Mick.B has not tried them before, and the airammo minimum order is 10 tins (i.e 5000 pellets).Originally Posted by scottywong
Mick would be better advised to get a tin of Daystate FT's in each size from a local gunshop, figure out which size is best suits his gun, and then order the JSB's in bulk.
I've shot thousands of Daystate FT pellets, and must say I've not had a single deformed pellet or any swarf in the tin. Same for the JSB's.
I've compared Daystate FT to the JSB exacts with a magnifying glass, and they ARE the same pellet, exact same weight, same excellent quality. At £5 a tin at the gunshop they are not that much more than the JSB's from Airammo. The only thing to watch out for is dents in the tin, since they are not that robust.
I've read that the AA field pellets have had "quality" issues, but the one tin I've tried was fine, though the Daystate FT's better suited my gun.

HW95K .177 + Simmons Aetec 4-14x44 + Logun Silencer;
Just to add to the mix a little here's an email I recieved from the JSB factory when I enquired about importing some exacts for our club. From what I can see JSB exacts, Daystate FT and Webley LazaDome (I think it's the domes) are identical while the AA pellets although similar are not.

you can buy jsb's in single tins from the site.under test tins £4.50 may be a bit of postage though.
if all this is true then daystates are not especialy selected(or weighed) as some have said before(in mags etc)

Does Noel stock them?

JSB Exacts .... mmmm..... by far the most accurately accurate thingies I have ever tried. My toy has a special liking for the 4.52 version and has eaten nearly 5000 of them ... I'm down to my last tin .... arrrrgggggh !
snif snif
Infact, they're that good I'm going to add them to my signature.
So there.
A point to bear in mind regarding quality of the end product:
How many times is it packed, unpacked and reshipped and what is the quality of the packing each time. Pellets are heavy, poor packing means impact damage each time they are shipped. At AirAmmo they come in on a pallet and get shipped directly to the end user, hopefully packed well, so impact / transit damage is minimised.
Paul
that could well be the answer here!!!
