JSB pellets still a shortage here in the USA.
- Thread starter luxurycat
- Start date
if you're looking for 18.13gr jumbo heavy diabolos, you might find fx pellets in stock somewhere, which by all accounts are the same pellets from one particular jsb die.
for comparison, here is one fx pellet and 4 pellets from a tin of jsbs.

It's going to be this way for months to come. You are just going to have to pay attention to the retailers and buy when they get stock. We're still waiting for a container to leave Houston. It's been at the rail yard since the end of last month. There's not one thing we can do about it.

What do you need? I have a small stash of .177 JSB 10.3, along with Air Arms if you are in a pinch and need to borrow.

2 times in the last 10 days I had my finger on the "add to cart button" for a Brocock Sniper XR Magnum .22 from AOA and didn't go through with it ONLY because of lack of quality pellets. This may be stupid but I equate it to buying a new 8 cylinder truck during a gas shortage. Wish I could see a light at the end of the tunnel.

Midway has some pellets in stock maybe not the best deal or the ones you want but you may be able to keep shooting.

I can relate to that.
Actually bought a PCP in .22 only because I had inventory in that caliber. Had I not, wouldn't have purchased.

Thank you all for the offers. I am not looking for a new supplier. I am only commenting with frustration on the lack of fresh JSB supply available since January 2021. I buy 20 to 30 tins a year for events alone. I shoot Exact King Heavy .25 33.95gr. After sorting 5-7 tins I find my needs for ONE event. I am frustrated that I may have to limit the events I can participate in on a particular weekend due to short supply.

May I suggest another hobby until things sort themselves out? I have four hobbies, and most have been affected by the pandemic, but I keep busy flip flopping back and fourth. If you have family, now is a good time to get to know them a bit more.
If none of those ideas sound decent, a lead recovery machine may be just what you need.

Complaining about a lack of JSB pellets is like complaining about a lack of Perrier water while sitting next to a stream.
It sounds snobbish as if the only thing preventing people from shooting accurately is a lack of JSB pellets.
When I am not accurate I am looking at myself first and wind second.

My hobby is target shooting and I am doing it with:
-airguns
-traditional recurve bows and longbows
-slingshots
If you enjoy shooting there are many ways to shoot.
If you feel like you are not challenged enough with airguns, try traditional archery and slingshots and your should be quickly humbled.

Unfortunately the world seems to revolve around three or four pellets, KING MKII HEAVY, MONSTER RD .22, .177 HEAVY and 18g JUMBO's, so these will be the most difficult to get.
Perhaps if competing is very important then don't sort? use all of the limited amount you have and make it a bigger challenge for yourself?

I heard from a local seller, that orders to JSB made today can be fulfilled in early 2023
If that is true people better expect more than a single year of supply issues.

I too heard from a dealer that spoke with their JSB rep who said JSB will be in full production in 2023 for their line of pellets……
