You might try a 7/32 bit. That comes to .21875, Which is closer to the .219 that a correctly sized skirt should be. I too have been resizing the JSB's that I find out of round. The 15.89 JSB Match are extremely accurate if everything else is working right.
You got the whole density story backwards. Lead is lead, if the pellets are harder, it's because the lead has been alloyed, just like for firearm bullets. Alloyed lead has a lower density. Also, using a hexagonal tool to make round holes is asinine. Grind the back of a drill bit or round rod to a nice shape and use that if you must.
I just received my first tin of 500 .22 JSB exact jumbo rs diabolo pellets fifteen minutes ago. Tin was tightly packed with no room in to. For pellets to shift around in and the foam disc helped to keep them from shifting during shipping. There were so many dented, malformed and misshaped pellets in the tin had I not ordered them online I would be on my way back inside the store to replace this tin for one that didn’t have even as many subpar pellets in it. I would be less disappointed in the product only if I had paid less for them. So far JSB has not impressed me with anything yet. Just their name used by some shooters who claim to use these pellets. Maybe they are accurate after one goes through and sorts them out.
Not a cheapskate pellet sizers weren't available back then in the U.S. I have them now but this technique worked flawlessly for me back then. Just sharing what worked for me hoping to help others
I also use another pellet from the same tin or a suitable ball bearing. your technique is superb
Good to know. Thank you.

Good solution, thank you
This is a old video before pellet sizers were readily available and worked well for many years with out any wasted pellets!!!
what size bit you use for .177?
Fine video🍻
AWESOME BRO !!!
Trenier outdoors is cheaper with shipping so is Krale you save $20 per $100! 😆
Pyramyd Air is good, but you might want to try Baker airguns
I got a tin of hn that looked like they git dropped out a plain...so many dented skirts....thay all worked fine
Equate "fine" into accuracy...pls...
just find a set of metal work dapping tools and and you can easily "square" your pellets... :D
He said ⅛ bit for .177 cal.
Directions unclear my pellets are now threaded 😅
i use the head of anther pellet to push them home ;)
It's the weight inside the tin! The mail service throws them around literally 🙄
I would never buy anymore JSB pellets because the quality control is so poor, I've thrown more away than I've used.
Where did purchase them
JSB Pellets are packed in tight and there’s not 500 to a Tin
Blame the freight company or couriers. Not JSB.
Cheapskate, buy a pellet sizer.
Hey if it works..🤘
