JTS Dead Center Heavy Airgun Pellets .22 Pellets (18.13g) x 250

Craftsmanship & Construction

The Dead Center pellets are the result of nearly two years of development by JTS Airguns, utilising advanced manufacturing machinery and quality-controlled production processes. Each pellet is precision-engineered to strict tolerances and produced using dedicated tooling — with a design emphasis on standardisation and consistency across the batch. This level of build quality helps to ensure remarkably uniform aerodynamics pellet-to-pellet, which in turn enhances accuracy and reliability.

Design & Aerodynamics

The pellets feature a traditional domed (round-head) shape — chosen for stable flight and predictable trajectories — combined with a waisted body and semi-hollow skirt. This configuration promotes stable flight, efficient transfer of energy, and balanced performance across a variety of airgun platforms.

Materials & Care

As standard for airgun pellets, these are precision-cast lead pellets. While no special maintenance is required beyond standard pellet storage etiquette, storing the tin in a dry environment and ensuring the lid is closed keeps pellets free from moisture or deformity. The foam-lined lid helps protect the pellets during transport and storage.
