JSB or Cometa .177 pellets?

[Penfold]

I already have the red tin of JSB Exact pellets...

I see the Cometa pellets in a green tin...

OK, carefully selected by JSB.
I have seen mention that the Cometa have a thinner skirt, and I'd like to try some.
Are they the same pellet or is there a difference? Maybe a different die is used for the Cometa?
Thanks for any info.

Hello sir, I cannot comment on Cometa pellets but I shoot Jsb, FX, and AA pellets (all of course made by Jsb) in the same caliber and weight through the same guns and the guns often prefer the AA and FX
I say go for it and try em out...Share results along the way
Are the Cometa cheaper than standard Jsbs?
I know H&N has the excite line, but they are billed as cheaper (quality) pellets too.

Tried the Cometa pellets. They were weighed and head size checked (Pelletgage)...and shot...badly.
Maybe I needed to shoot more than 20 of them to lead the barrel, but wouldn't they be the same lead as the JSB Exact which shoot quite well (in my 9015HP)?
Anyway, accurate enough for plinking and pesting I guess, but not good enough for my needs.
Plus I threw about 60 pellets out as they arrived with bent/squashed skirts (probably a NZ supplier issue, not the fault of JSB).
Won't buy again.
