JTS Dead Center Airgun Pellets .22 Pellets (16.08g) x 250

JTS Dead Center Domed .22 5.5 mm Airgun Pellets – 16.05 grains

Craftsmanship & Construction

JTS spent nearly two years developing the Dead Center pellet line using the latest manufacturing machinery and refinement processes. The result is a waisted, domed-head pellet with a semi-hollow skirt — a design that enhances flight stability and penetrative power.

The rigorous production standards ensure tight tolerances and consistent pellet geometry from shot to shot, delivering uniform performance whether you’re hunting or bench-rest shooting.

Performance & Use-Case

At 16.05 grains (approx. 1.069 g), this mid-weight pellet carries its muzzle energy well while offering good stopping power. That means sharper impact and reliable performance downrange — ideal for pest control or small-game hunting, while still accurate enough for target work and competition shooting.

Key Features

• Domed (round-head) design for aerodynamic efficiency and stability.
• Waisted pellet profile with semi-hollow skirt for optimal flight and impact.
• Precision-manufactured for shot-to-shot consistency and accuracy.
• Mid-weight 16.05 gr load offers increased power over standard pellets while retaining good range and trajectory.
• Compatible with PCP, spring, CO? and pump-up air rifles — including high-power FAC models.
• Supplied in a 250-pellet tin with foam-lined lid to protect pellet integrity during storage and transport.

Materials & Care

The pellets are manufactured from soft lead alloy (standard for airgun pellets), using precision tooling and finishing to ensure smooth, uniform surfaces. The tin storage container with foam-lined lid helps safeguard the pellets from deforming or oxidising during storage — simply store in a cool, dry place until ready to use.

Size & Fit Guidance

These pellets are 5.5 mm (.22 calibre) — ideal for any .22 airgun barrel. Ensure your airgun is chambered for .22 calibre to get optimum performance. Each tin contains 250 pellets, providing a solid supply for multiple sessions before needing to restock.
