can anyone tell me which of the jsb redesigns work best in the huben k1? There are now shallow and deep versions available as well as the original ones. I’m not sure which to try. Thanks

@nathandore I use the original MRDs. You can try them all and let us know what works best for you. These guns are not exactly the same. There are variances from barrel to barrel. What works great for you may not work great for the next person, especially since we tune our K1s differently for different purposes. Beyond that, I suggest perusing the pages within the Huben K1 Master Thread and read what others have done and used. There's enough information compiled here within the first 10 pages to answer your question.

I’ve ordered some of the jsb monster lights to try first 20.83 hopefully they will work well as they seem like an ideal compromise between the 18.13 and the 25.39, if they don’t group well I’ll start making my way through the other redesigns. I’ll let you know my findings.

I want to go ahead and clarify that the only slug with inconsistent sizing at the time was the BT slugs all other ammo I've ever tried have been excellent in terms of size.

@JaceSpace1369 That is understandable with cast slugs. Did you rotate the slugs and mic them at different orientations?

Yes I did, I tested them at different bands and diffrent spots for each one. He siad they do well in 249-250 barrels which I believe, I just wanted to test them out in a larger one to see how they managed.

@JaceSpace1369 Since you did that and your stated results were your results then it sounds reliable to me. I shoot them in .22 on occasion. I haven’t taken much time with them. I shoot pellets with much more frequency. I have some Varmint Knockers and haven’t shot them yet. Do you still have your Huben? I saw an add you placed looking for a .22. I almost PMed you, then I pulled mine out again, shot it a little, verified my DOPE and started hunting with it again. Still not my favorite to tote through the woods, but I’ve nailed four squirrels so far with medium weight pellets. 2 with lung shots, 2 with brain shots shooting 18.1 grain domed diabolo pellets.

I actually sold my k1 .25 early this year and I just got a k1 .22 with the old 12 grove mag. I am going to be testing the huben 28.5gr .223 skugs and the peanut slugs out of this one. I managed to shoot some 38gr .218 H&N slugs without any jams, they get partially stuck if you have the barrel pointed downwards when you fire. But I've managed to fix it by rotating the mag half a chamber back with the muzzle pointed up. They did decently at 950fps. I turned it down to shoot pellets so I can break in the regulator so currently it's set to shoot 25.39gr FX pellets at 960fps but I may just turn it down further to shoot 15.89 or 14.3gr at 900fps till it breaks in since I've got another 23k pellets to go through

i just about sent my K1 .22 in for kelly to find out why it would not shoot .219 or any other pellets
consistently without jamming several times per mag. even NSA, VK and AVS slugs would occasional jam
using the correct size but then, i tried the Huben Peanut Slugs and problems solved and accuracy improved
also....so now thats what i use. about thru my 2nd tin and not one jam.
they work very well on crows out past 100yrds

@gendoc I have had a partial jam where the skirt of an 18.1 grain pellet was sheered off. I used a wire bread tie to push out the damaged pellet. I’ve also had hams that created several dry fires with pellets. I know I have a chamber or two that are slightly wider in diameter so to see ammo loose in those is understandable because they do not seat the same or much at all unless it’s .222-.223 diameter ammo. The largest issue I see is what JC and the manual point out, when tilting the rifle forward with loose fitting ammo has a higher probability of causing jams. Because I’m squirrel hunting, on the sling the muzzle is pointed downward. When I shoulder the rifle, I’m often shooting into the trees with the rifle angled upward. I haven’t had a jam afield, but I do believe that I took a shot that didn’t exit the mag on one occasion. Unfortunately the squirrels scatter at the report. I ordered a moderator adapter to help quiet the report and the wrong adapter was sent, so I have to get that sorted out as well.

I need to get more of those. If your mag isn't a 2020 model and newer it has the 6 grove mag, rather than the 12 grove. The 12 grove it supposed to work very well with the .219-.2195. Other wise these newer mags require .2213 or biggeri just about sent my K1 .22 in for kelly to find out why it would not shoot .219 or any other pellets

i walk for miles hunting my swamps here, even strapped to my 4-wheeler and our boat.
never a jam with the peanuts. and another great thing is you dont have to seat them......
just roll and go
i cleared out most of the shops that sells the peanuts and recently ordered some from airgunheaven
in the Netherlands. man what a shop !! and they pack better than PA does!!
same ending price as the U.S. shops.
which i think most of them have been restocked by now.

Yeah so talk to Kelly and ask him if he has any of those older mags we can sell you and put on your k1
For pellets I suggest using AEA or JTS. I haven't tried JTS in the Huben, but I will forever swear by the AEA pellets in the GK1, which is supposed to be the same as the K1. Of which I have one of each so I will retest the 21.9gr with both platforms but the 21.9gr AEA do fabulous from 860- 980fps

i remember you told me about the JTS/AEA pellets and i tried them with no luck. there is just something about this K1,
maybe its me, you can remember the .25 K1 gave me fits also until i found what it liked, then it had to go !!

That's right, I trade my k1 for your vulcan 3 .25 the only slugs it like were .254 nsa. I could shoot 5 shot groups at 140yds with all the shots touching. Most of everything else was bleh.
Had I know what I know now I would've told you to contact TJ, or VK because they have .250 sized mags
