JSB rebranded pellets...the truth.

[BryanH]

Well i just checked the cost of everything 10.34 grains/.177 at PA. I feel as though there would be a price discrepancy if there were any advantage to any of the rebranded ammo. That is not the case, just saying

8-10+ cent rounds make AG's lose their appeal.

Are you referring to big bore? The most I’ve ever paid for JSBs is about 4 cents per pellet in .22 or about 6 cents in .25. Nowhere near 10 cents and up.

 

[Spartan]

How about a video tour / walk through of the factory showing discrepancies if any between the brands of pellets made within?

Short of the above, people going to stir the pot and perpetuate rumors. I honestly don't give a rats ass, just make pellets cheap again. 8-10+ cent rounds make AG's lose their appeal.

Far as I can tell, the pellet prices are mostly tied to the price of lead and freight costs. So not much they can do about the pricing.

If you consider the buy 3 get 1 free sure but their listed cost is commonly 8 cents or so per pellet, so buying 1 or 2 tins..this is for 25 cal

Pyramyd’s pricing is artificially inflated where you have to do the buy-3-get-1-free to see a reflection of the actual fair market price.

Trenier’s pricing is a better indication of the actual market price.

25.4 is 32$ for 350 after tax on Amazon. Which is 9 cents a round...beg your pardon?

What is 'actual market price?'

Makes sense to a degree but I wonder what profit margins currently are.

If you want to spend more than necessary, you are free to do so.

 

[Stubbers]

If you want to spend more than necessary, you are free to do so.

You are claiming volume pricing is fair market value on a per round cost basis...it's not about what I want to spend it's fact and reality that rounds are going for 8 to 10 cents for not just big bores unless you buy in volume

 

[nervoustrig]

They are only 8 to 10 cents if you choose to buy from the most expensive sources. So spend that much if you like, but the rest of us do not and will not.

 

[Stubbers]

They are 8 to 10 cents base cost. Not sure why you woke up today to argue face value facts but you do you.

 

[Pelletpimp]

They spoke of FX. They are in this tread and did not indicate AA's statement was inaccurate. If it was I expect they would do so here as well. Silence.

They dont need to. In the Video it came across pretty clearly that no special tooling is used for any other brand.
When the South African FT Team did a tour of the factory a couple of years ago they asked, and were told exactly what Steve was told, no special tooling for anybody. I don't see why JSB will lie, I can see why AA would though.............................................

 

[Stubbers]

Just went to trenier...still 8 cents round for 25.4 if I don't buy volume...that's not fair market according to nervoustrig!

 

[abslayer]

@abslayer i think have enough crosman pointed and crosman destroyers to fill a shoebox that i never even use. I used to burn a tin or two in a afternoon of plinking. Now i pretty much just hunt, rarely have time for practice, and i like to use the best i have when i do.

For the time being it’s barracuda hunters or jsb hades. Fortunately when i run out i wont have to adjust the scope to shoot the fx domes. Not for the distance i shoot anyway.

Hades .22 15.89 is what always works great for me

AMAZON SUCKS AT PACKAGING AND SHIPPING

 

[Stubbers]

BEFORE taxes its still 7 cents a round in bulk @ treiner outdoors, after tax its .75 cents a round.....sheesh, this applies to 25.4 and 33.95 gr.

Some people should do their own research before spewing their thoughts that only big bores cost in the neighborhood of 8-10 cents a round. You could offer an apology, or just remain silent and build resentment over such a trivial matter...

 

[jarmstrong]

you sure are combative, it is trivial,,, ,if you need an apology, go see someone else and the big yellow arrow??? is it an arrow?
well amazon still sucks PERIOD

Big yellow arrow? I don't follow, you referring to the Amazon symbol? Standing up for the truth is combative? Lol

Also..he was insta-replying to all my replies, and HE began the argument...now hes hush hush.

Oh, you’re right. My apologies for being argumentative. I guess it was the “8-10+ cents” claim that had me bewildered. A statement which had no constraints on caliber so it could have been construed as .30 cal and above, but I guess I boxed you in a little with the “are you talking big bore?” question. I want to give credit where credit is due…you have managed to make it to 8 cents by buying the largest small bore caliber in the least favorable way possible. Can you now put a bow on this by scouring for a way to push it up over the 10 cent mark to substantiate your initial claim of 10+ cents? At that point, you deserve the satisfaction of running a victory lap while I hang my head in shame for having been owned in front of my peers.

$83.91 divide by 1400 pellets = 0.0599
350/tin x 4 = 1400 pellets
