I just noticed my selection of .25 pellets was getting this so I started looking for my favorites . No one in Canada seems to have any in stock . No JSB kings or heavies to be found .


This is getting serious. I better start looking at getting a mold to make my own. And even that’s not possible. Looks like I’m going to have to go back to shooting .22 until I can get my hands on some.

I think after 22 cal, you need to cast or else it gets very very $$$

I just placed an order with the forum store. I had hit the wrong pellet in the selection. I bought ten tins just in case this happens again.

I believe the stores sold out the 22 cal earlier than the 25 cal?!

Looks at the moment, many popular pellets are all out of stock... Not sure we need to go back to Crosman pellets... :(

My good local online seller has been sold out of basic Exact since I got serious last winter. They're getting new stuff in, $4 - $5 more per can.

Believe the ammo hoarding down south, is partially to blame.

Well 22 is more popular with the general public, than 25 cal. So stores are going stock more 22, than 25.

I recently bought 5 tins of JSB 33.95gr. from Wes - LOL - last spring, I just realized.
Yeah - .25's are more pricey than the smaller pellets. I do have a 51gr. mould, but haven't
tried those in the Aselkon M9 yet. One of these days maybe.

For those that like JSB King, if they are out, make sure to take a look for the Air Arms equivalent 25.4gr. They are pretty much identical.
