Jsb batches

[DEAN C.]

Well, I've seen that original post/thread as well but it gives no machine press number and it's the press & die that matter.

I have an e-mail from AA telling me how to read the label on their tin (JSB made) which says press & die are all that matters, their first 2 are the press & best I can work out, by cross referring the tins, what you call the batch is actually the die number.

I'd also contradict the "always 00" bit because it isn't on any of my tins.

edit, I've just e-mailed them to ask.

You are not making much sense Angrybear.I think what you maybe don't realise is that AA JSB's do not use the same numbers or configuration of numbers as on the JSB branded tins. Press and die is the same number really, ......on AA tins it is the first number before the date. Then the supposed size(which is usually wrong), then batch.

By the way it is now well proven that the sizes on JSB and AA tins mean absolutely nothing, so forget that bit. Also a die number with a different date is most likely not the same pellet as something will have changed.

Most JSB and AA pellets have been quite good over the last year or so in most guns that suit them, but they do vary from batch to batch. Die 8, 54,45 and 10 seem to have been quite good recently. Not too many bad ones though.

No, the press is the machine that the dies are fitted in to,
if the same set of dies is used in two different presses it's likely that different levels of wear & tear tolerance within the actual machine will produce slightly different finished pellets as a result.

The numbers may be in a different order but they will/should contain the same required information.
