JTS Dead Center Pellet, pretty impressive stuff

Anyone know where I can buy a spy balloon?

Spy Balloon shooting should be worked into the curriculum at the next major long range shoot!

I know a source country.
You have options when ordering too!
A) econo (electronics package approximately the size of a bus)
B) deluxe (electronics package approximately the size of TWO buses)

Specify when ordering with or without rudder.

NO PAY PAL
 
Because its not the same at all. Several design features that are different that will allow them to shoot faster and also further with greater accuracy. But I guess well see shortly. Shipping to dealers this week.
When I said the same, I was referencing the price point. The accuracy of the design has yet to be demonstrated, but assuming the shoot "as well as" the JSBs ( that's a HUGE assumption) where's the motivation to switch?

"I bet most stuff in your house is "Made in China""
I bet that you're wrong.
:LOL: yeah righ easy to say on the net,.....I used to be a property manager and the Owner of the property a big "America first" guy could not stop putting down China over and over again, however, most of the stuff in the house and the tools and equipment was....."Made in China" big talk, very little walk.

If truly all the China made stuff was taken off the shelves today this country would collaps.

My main interest in the JTS pellets is if they start producing a .22/25.4grain pellet, contingent upon resolving the flyers that JSB/FX labeled tins are currently producing. I said it already in another post, but if JTS can get the quality to the point of eliminating flyers with that pellet, while also keeping a shape with a high BC like the current MRD...they'll sell a whole bunch of them to guys like me that are primarily interested in pellet-only competitions.

Jerry Kornfield has a couple of tins of .22s and says they are significantly "cleaner" than the JSBs he regularly uses.

I couldn't live without Chinese takeout!

I really hope so. I also hope the .25 Heavy is as good or better than the JSB. The true “litmus test” will be how many Pros shoot them at RMAC and EBR. For me if they outperform JSB then for certain I’ll be shooting them this year.
 
An observation that I have made is when the pellet manufacturing companies come out with new dies for making pellets, the first batches are more uniform in size and weight from tin to tin to begin with. Whereas with more production on said dies/machines and the mixing of said pellets increases the weight spread and deformity inconsistency between tins. Therefore, getting tins now, of the same "batch" as it is commonly known, will likely be in your benefit. (Providing that the pellets shoot or tune well out of the particular barrel.)

we have addressed that and will have mandatory Die replacements and also we have a three tier system to check pellets batches before shipping or processing. this really is of low concern to me. My biggest concern is making sure the designs are good and accurate as well as NEEDED in the ever changing airgun World. We are developing slugs for low power air rifles now to aid people overseas and here also as well as some new innovating designs. Its a good time to be a airgunner isnt it!

Aha!
Another opportunity to hi-light my lack of knowledge.

What causes dies to need replacement?
It seems to me that wear would not be an issue if the dyes are sufficiently harder than the material to be formed
