pellets and slugs drop into all of my barrels, deep enough for longer ones to be flush or below end

PUSHED a pellet

Not bad. But haven’t shot it much yet. Trying to get it in better shape so it’s fun to shoot. Not a PITA

Just made a few pictures, where i had to delete half of them of course CUZ i used my damn phone and not the Dslr.
Anyway still got 3 pictures to share, ammo used are a .177 Beast and one of the new 24 grain Zan slugs.
And as mentioned the barrel is the 12 grove CZub barrel of my Two.
24gr slug dropped into breech end, to seat it, well you need more pressure than i can do with my 3 mm CF ram rod, so i had to tap it a little to get it going.
Shooting the same 24gr slugs a few days ago, did absolutely not require any additional pressure to " chamber " these long slugs.
The Beast pellet, well take very little initial pressure to get it going in the groves, and contact surface so little the weight of my 3 mm Carbon fiber ram / cleaning rod is almost enough to push it thru.

Looks like you got a .17 and not .177 lol
Also, anyone else notice the 16.2 jsb in question at the beginning looks nothing like any other 177 jsb 16.2? This looks more like a diabolo pellet like a 22 cal 14.3/15.89

It's .22 barrel. And the pellet looks like JSB Diabolo Exact Jumbo .22 Cal , 15.89 gr or JSB Diabolo Exact Jumbo Heavy .22 Cal, 18.13 gr. They don't have .22 cal in 16.2 gr. I would bet that it 18.13 gr with some weight "shaved" by rifling when pushed through IMHO. @BABz58 can you please confirm the pellet?

For a $150 airgun it looks great. Heck it looks great for any break barrel. Nice clean lines. Better to be tight that too loose.

JSB marketed these as 16.2 but the container says 1.037 which translates to 16.003 gn so they DO exist... just older than the current packaging. The date code on one of these shows 2005 but this one is actually older and doesn't have a date code...
Just keeping things real...

I don’t disagree that’s it’s great for the money. But it doesn’t mean I won’t tinker with it until I’m happy

Think it’s the 15.89 that was on the heavy side of the variation in that tin. But you may be right. The tin is at our property where we have our camper setup. I’ll check next weekend to confirm which pellets they are

I shot 2 brands of pellets through my HW77 AA's 10.3gr with a loose fit and H&N 8.64gr that fit much tighter. The 10s are faster because of the fit but the H&Ns are more accurate. Maybe you could try another brand of pellet to see if it would fit your barrel better.

Wow, that's almost an antique item, maybe the last tin available, better keep them on display under glass
. Nice!Upvote 0
I wouldn’t complain about snug. But I’m talking tight. As in I’d lay money that a 15lb weight on top of a probe. Would not budge the pellet down the bore. I wouldn’t be surprised if it took 30lbs or more to force the pellet through the bore and into the barrel. It’s hard to tell how hard I’m pushing. But it’s a good bit of force.
