N/A Chinese lead JTS

Pellets are machine made, where the machine is “set it and forget it” for a few hours. The only advantages the Chinese have are the environmental laws and ironically the low pay allows them to do better quality control on what comes out of the machine. There is very little Union labor involved in transporting pellets from US factory to Walmart.

The US manufacturers should be investing heavily in optical and weight check quality control machinery, but they won’t unless their margins start shrinking from Chinese competitors. They may even decide to just relabel Chinese stuff in the future. I love America, but there is a lot of hubris when it comes to American companies. I wish more US companies were proud of their work like the Germans.

Even the Germans run to china.. like how Diana seems more German snowpeak.. but true here you got to pay and deal with €pa, osha, liability, worker benefits, wages, corp tax , ect, ect,..

In china just pay off the ccp man his cut and go ...

You make a brick here you can sell for $100 but your cost to make it is 70$

Make it in china + ship it around the world and sell it for 80$ and your cost to make it is $30. So make it here and deal with all that mess and make 20$ or move to China and pocket $50 ?

Tough call... 🥴..lol

That's probably the most correct comment so far.
JSB quality went down. China and h&n up the stakes . So far I'm happy with H&N.
When I start buying Chinese I'm quitting this hobby.

I toured their plant a few years ago and shot with one of their employees at the Pyramyd air cup. He said no union. At that time, starting pay was 8-10 dollars an hour depending on job. They have changed hands since then and l think most of their manufacturing is outsouced now but I could be wrong about that. Don

I can see your point. Buying from anywhere but China is a nice goal but about 90% of everything avaliable today comes from China. I hate wally world but can't afford to go elsewhere due to cost. About 95% of everything they sell, except groceries, is made in China. If you drive a car, 90% of the parts come from overseas. They are "assembled in America" so they can say made in America. If I didn't buy anything not made in America, l would probably starve or be arrested for walking around naked. JMHO, Don

The CPHP that I get from Amazon in the blister pack tins are the ones from Brazil and in several of my guns they shoot as good or better then JSB except for a occasional flyer. I have about 22,000 of them in my cabinet.

Read the package, in your pictures. Says "made in USA with globally sourced material". Pellets and or tin could come from anywhere but USA. Don

My thoughts: open cases of pellets from somewhere, not USA. Open cases of metal tins, from somewhere, not USA. Insert proper amount of pellets in tins. Inserts tins in packages, that probably came from somewhere, not USA, seal packages on machine, probably came from somewhere, not USA. Pack proper amount of packages in boxes, might be made in USA, who knows. Now you have cases of pellets "MADE IN USA". Don

I dont have any of the packaging left took all out of blister packs but almost all of the ones Ive bought from Amazon said Made in Brazil or Brazil on the cardboard no matter if you seen it or not, I have no reason to say otherwise I actually could care less.
