tariffs raising the price of pellets

[Firewalker]

No country has been hit with tariffs yet, and more than likely won't be.

I know! Why do people think it's a done deal?

3 words. Always Be Prepaired.
We know when the new Sheriff in town says he gonna do something. He generally does it. He don't dither, moan and whine about anyone's hurt feelings. And lord knows China is the big bad on the world stage currently. It does not take a crystal ball or divining rods to see where Uncle Sam's foot is gonna be put down hard, and 1st in a biglee way.

No, not concerned about tariffs but, I am concerned that a weak dollar and inflation could

Boredom? Cronic need to get to 1000 points. I'm just guessing. lol

It's usually enough to announce the tarrif to get the attention of the country that is affected. Just because it's announced, does not mean it's in force.

I read somewhere that if, for example, a 10% tariff is placed on pellets that the pellets will shoot with 10% less velocity.
Will someone corroborate this please?

I expect them to shoot 10% faster and hit 10x harder with 50% improved accuracy, after all we deserve more for our money.

Is there a tariff ballistic coefficient now? Man, I’ve got so much still to learn about this sport…

Yes indeed @Dadwag
It is inversely proportional to the rate of the tariff

Doc , just got them at Walmart a week ago, I never see 22 caliber in the local walmart just 177 , So I got them,
My only guns that shoot them OK are PP 700 , PP750 and Reximex Pistols, My pistols are just expected to kill the can or pill bottle at 25 to 30 yards , My bull pups are expected to shoot aspirins at 100 yards , JTS and JSB pellets is just about all I shoot for accuracy,

I thought they were still made in the USA. Mine are but I have had them a long time

I have been dealing with the tariffs for almost a year now since Biden put the 25% tariff in place. There are ways around it like JTS has a Texas address and most likely gets the product in as part of the process. Like in the US they put a sticker on the can before it is sold therefore the pellets in the can were just part of the assembly done in the US.

They are a mixed bag Doc. Depends on what walmart has. One trip for me anyway, they will have the light colored boxes of .177 and .22s out in the crosman. Next time, it be these, or some of both types.
