Pellet sizer?

[LewesNick]

Normally I use JSB Exact Premium 4.52, 8.44gr in my Steyr Challenge and get good results at 25m benchrest.
I'm running low and do not seem to be able to locate a fresh supply that are not at stupid prices.

So I'm considering buying some standard JSB Exacts in 4.53, then weighing and sizing to produce my own 4.52/8.44gr Premiums.

KarlC kindly sold me a jewellery scale so the weighing bit is sorted.
I have a couple of tins of 4.52 Exacts so will test them too, hopefully they will just need weighing.

Suggestion on pellet sizers please gents? I'm looking at the T.R.Robb (https://www.trrobb.com/Adjustable_Pe..._19548899.aspx) offering, any experience?

TIA.

I have a Terry Robb one and if as well made as mine they are good and adjustable

I have a Fenton pellet sizer in 4.52, if you know that's what you need, save the money and need for adjustment and get one of these for a tenner. Precision made, pop pellet in, push in with pusher out pops the pellet...simple. For the price of the tr Robb you can get every size you need and it quicker.

TR Robb has a video on the pellet sizer worth watching if you do get one, its a good little bit of kit and will allow you to size to what you want whereas the push through jobbies while cheaper are obviously a one stop shop so the former will allow you to tweak

A pellet sizer is definitely a good idea. A few years back I measured a selection of half a dozen different pellets, head dia. and tail. dia and none of them corresponded to the nominal sizes stated on the tins.

Thanks all! Mr Robb will be slightly richer today.

Pellet sizers will not work 9/10 times, and your 4.52 pellets will be no different in size to your 4.53 pellets, but they might shoot differently only due to the batch or die.
Just try different batches until you find a nice one, ignore the tin size it means zero. Good luck.
