NEW JSB Diabolo Pellets & Slugs (FACTORY INTERVIEW) JSB Airgun Slugs + Hades .35 - SHOT Show 2023

[@HanSolo__]

Damn, do they realize how much *LOVE* the community has for them guys from JSB and Predator? People used to think they shot badly. Whenever switched, to JSB, they were shocked at how well they could perform with the proper tools for the job.

[@heathhalfhill6401]

A 34 grain JSB HADES in 25 cal would be freaking awesome especially in my LCS. It absolutely loves FX 34 grain pellets and with the heavier weight they do not get pushed around as much by the wind and have better accuracy at longer distances when the moment requires. Softer lead would also be nice so they could open at lower speeds like in the UK with sub 12 guns that are basically just shooting a diabolo at those speeds. They just don't expand until you push them faster like 900 fps...from my experience.

[@Tradhunter]

Agreed , need that for my maverick.

[@Don.E.63]

Yeah your right, i was shooting FX 34 grain yesterday in some gusty wind and it barely had any effect on groups, but shoot the 25.39 kings and they were hitting everywhere.

[@hankvana2149]

YESSSS!!!!!! .22 Hades Monsters! Been asking for them! These are going to be great for hunting on the smaller permissions where ranges are sub 100 yards and slugs just carry too far to be safe to shoot.

[@LowkeyAirgunner]

Great interview as always! Jsb sure is a top shelf pellet producer. _I wished I could financially recover from my lead addiction._ *Help.*

[@Don.E.63]

Ive got it bad too! Real bad.

[@RedCornOutdoors]

An 18gr Hades would be awesome 👌

[@randycupp5925]

It would, but 25.4gr would be even better!

[@mriphone1000]

Definitely

[@rickoshea8138]

That pellet sorting reminds me of diamond sorting.

[@franciscopereirinha8580]

Sometimes it feels like that when you're loading the last of the tin too... 😁 They might as well make them out of gold... For the price...

[@yukonjack.]

It's nice to have a company that really listens to their customers, it only makes $$ sense yet there's many companies that don't, a big thanks to you all.✌️

[@michaelbogdovitz2157]

Great vid but KZbin has stopped suggesting your videos. Thought you should know.

[@giovannim5101]

Fifty years shooting air guns my opinion the JSB PELLETS SHOOTS THE BEST.

[@yamahabigwedgy]

What weight for the new hades in 22 cal, I don't recall anyone saying the weight?

[@Swamp-Fox]

Fascinating! I love my JSB Diabolo pellets!

[@BSJ-VT]

They obviously stopped doing final visual inspection and just pushed whatever they had out the door. Junk or not. I've got 4000 of the junk! Gonna wait and see if the quality actually comes back before I buy any more.

[@slayer9240]

I bought 50 tins a month ago spot on.

[@jameshagerman7681]

Is there any chance of some lead free slugs in the future?

[@thebeardedairgunner]

Hey Steve! Great interview brother! Very informative!

[@AEAC]

Thank you!! Steve

[@FirstStateAirgun]

A friend of mine is surprisingly good with slugs out of his Gamo Magnum break barrel

[@rossm1298]

Another great video!

[@murdoch451]

Good interview, thanks, Steve. David UK.

[@TacticalJackalope]

Question is the E.U. is facing a potential lead ammo ban which is already in its early stages in the U.K. Where is that going to leave the market?

[@Airpang100]

No issue in Sweden since pellets is not legally defined as ammunition. Ammo lead ban only effects ammo .

[@josephrickard7973]

I like all that info you get for us Steve. Thanks. I live in NH, I'm excited for the northeast airgun classic. Looking forward to meeting you in person.

[@AEAC]

Thank you, Joseph! Steve

[@giovannim5101]

Steve I been watching you from day one and I can tell you how much you have grown, you have your own style, you remind me of my good friend and Great writer Charlie Cutshaw of guns&weapons for law enforcement and many more. God bless you and keep up the Great work.

[@AEAC]

Thanks for this kind note Giovanni 🙂. Steve

[@JM10344]

Yes, please do a .177cal JSB KO video with Joe. That would be great. Thanks for being great, Steve.

[@michaelquatrano6189]

From here Steve it appears you have the best job. I like the information you help spread for the industry.

[@AEAC]

Thank you, Michael. I am indeed enjoying myself very much 🙂 Best, Steve

[@airgunoutdoorscolorado]

Heavy hades in .25 please!! :)

[@ceterfo]

Awwwwwwwwwweeeeee yeeeeeeee. It's printing day and a new aeac on pellets. yuaassss

[@bigearl8687]

Some 18g, 25g hades in 22cal would be nice....33g 25cal polymags awesome hunting pellets

[@ku4nz]

I wish I owned stock in JSB. Thanks for video

[@michaelb.42112]

Thanks Steve ! I've ALWAYS wanted to see you do a video on pellets and how they're made. I look forward to watching it now. EDIT : Gonna watch the JSB factory tour video. My Gawd that's a LOT of pellets ! It's pretty cool to hear that the (stupid, lame, messed up) pandemic created a huge demand. Air guns are WAY more fun than powder burners, to ME.

[@giovannim5101]

Steve did you stopped by JTS AIR GUNS.?

[@AEAC]

I did not, sorry. I hit everyone that requested SHOT coverage. Best, Steve

[@briandolson2941]

I really hope they catch up on supply of the Predator GTO's. My favorite pellet for both my Pcp's. Fast, accurate & better for the environment. Tune your gun, if you can, to make them fly @ 880fps and you'll be smiling!

[@joshuagibson2520]

I like Joe. In a world of suits he's a relatable guy.

[@masneobarbar573]

I remember once jsb hit the top, his place was replaced by H&N, we are waiting for a new bullet from jsb

[@Manson16v]

Bad quality control since Covid. Sometimes 75% of damaged pellets in a box. Jsb no more. I m very happy with H&N

[@hankvana2149]

I've had no problems with damaged JSB pellets, and I shoot a variety of weights and calibers. I would suspect that they were damaged during shipping. Easy to do, I knocked a can of pellets that I had sorted off the table onto the floor and many of the pellets were damaged.

[@Manson16v]

@@hankvana2149 most happened in 22 cal.

[@springpistonriflefeverlone9611]

Maybe JSB can open a plant in the USA😃👍?

[@Milkasalwa32]

👍👍👍♥️♥️♥️

[@theresamarie1379]

It would be nice if JSB would go back to producing decent .177 diablo pellets like they used to in former years as recently they have been awful. Useless down range BC and too shallow in the back and low in the head (more like a flying saucer than a dome which is more stable and aerodynamic) and short on length. Absolutely useless for HFT. Demand over the last few years is not an excuse for poor pellet design. In recent years we have had more and more issues finding a good die, but now it seems impossible to find a decent batch, let alone an outstanding one. I think half the issue is the people at JSB who are making them no longer care as long as they are selling pellets. But for us competitors, who probably shoot a heck of a lot more than plinkers and hunters, a decent pellet can make the difference between winning a comp/season or being an also ran. Check any of the current top shooters on the circuit, whether HFT or FT and I can guarantee they are using batches from 5+ years ago when standards were higher and JSB were interested. Many of the pellets we are getting through from JSB at the mo are incapable of one holing at 25y let alone tight grouping or clover leafing at 45-55y. And that should be just as important, if not more so for hunters!! I do hope JSB are back on the case, but recent history and batch testing does not fill me with hope. I feel like the competition community has been abandoned. If JSB want to get in touch with me to chat, I am more than willing to show them the difference between a good pellet form from a few years back and what they are producing now!
