Your picture gives some hope for the Monster Redesigns. The new skirts like they are in good condition. For the past year or so, the .22 RDM's have been absolute junk. Quality control has been very poor. At least 20 % of the skirts are bent, and half of those are bent beyond use. I'm hoping JSB got their act together.I've been testing the latest redesigned for a few weeks, RTI and Daystate showing good results.
Weather hasn't helped, but testing to 70 yards put a smile on my face.
I've a few left for when I can try at longer range.

I doubt the bent skirts are a jsb problem, but a shipping issue after the distributor and retailer. The deep skirt cavity pellets that shoot better will not be any better if the down line doesn't take better care of them. I don't bother buying any pellets from Zan because by the time I get them they are destroyed in travel. Pyramyd seems to be able to get them to me in good shape.Your picture gives some hope for the Monster Redesigns. The new skirts like they are in good condition.

Zan only sells a 30 cal pellet... Didn't know you played the 30 cal game?I doubt the bent skirts are a jsb problem, but a shipping issue after the distributor and retailer.

Hope JSB can add the KnockOut .177 MK3 in 13.47gr.Remember when the Monster Redesigned (MRD) pellets first came out? Well you and everyone else did and you all remembered them having really deep, thin skirts. They were really missed. That was the 2023 number one question we were asked at every event we went to, on emails, even the big shooters asked about them. Will they ever come back? Well, I can say without a doubt they are back. Wait, now... you have options. They will be available in 200 count tins and now 350 count tins. Who doesn't want options?!? 2017 called, they said "you're welcome.”

Ok, nothing really new about these except the item number has changed... oh, and they have a new name. Did I mention they not only come in 200 count tins, but now they are available in 350 count tins? Yeah, same great MRD, but now available in bigger tins. Bigger is better.

We bet you didn't see this one coming... an even heavier Jumbo Monster. There is more than enough pellet here to accomplish your goals in life. The increase in mass will give you better down-range ballistics... which is especially important for the benchrest shooters and if you choose to hunt with this Grand-daddy of a pellet, well... I'm pretty sure it speaks for itself.

The MK3 version of this great little slug now comes with more SMACK. They have been improved upon with the addition of a skirt (the MK2 version was the first and we will be getting those in later... yes, that is backwards). The skirt helps the slug grab the bore and improves accuracy, while that new HUGE hollow point means more energy dumping devastation in a smaller package. Giving this 10.03gr slug its greatest improvement. JSB has made this slug the ultimate in small game hunting and pesting.

Last year and the beginning of this year, the second biggest question was, "Why don't you make a heavier .22 Hades?" We sent that question over to JSB and Pavel said "I got you." Actually, he already had plans in the works. So we bring to you the MONSTER OF ALL HADES, the Hades Monster... 25.39gr of hunting devastation, but with more mass for even greater energy dump on small game. Happy Hunting!

Wuwhooo!!!
19 tins is ok.For a few years I was a big fan of the redesigned. Last year I purchased 20 tins. So disappointed.
These latest pellets honestly put a smile on my face. Hopefully happy times ahead.
Ideally I need to give them a test out to 100m or so, weather permitting.
Different barrels are preferring either the deep or shallow version. Something I'm still scratching my head about.
At least in the future we will have a choice of redesigned design. Sorry couldn't help but say that.
Just for clarification, I have no connection with JSB, simply a shooter that asked JSB a question about redesigned, then got some latest batches to test.
Fingers crossed that all that arrive in stores are as good as my test samples.
Hopefully they arrive in the EU stores soon, I want to do some BC calculations. Yes, I need some more
USA delivery early next year.
Now I'm still wondering what to do with the 19 tins of last year's redesigned.

H&N has baracuda match 21.14 in .22 caliber that shoots every bit as good if not better than the JSB 18.13 in my Alpha .22.A Christmas wish for JSB to come out with a 21.5g pellet in .22 caliber…
15.89
18.13
21.5 (wish)
25.39
28.55 (new)
That would be awesome spacing between weights in .22 caliber.
