By bobbyjim from USA on 2007-08-21 08:11:18 Things I liked:The most accurate pellet I have ever used in my 1974 Sheridan 20 cal.Things I would have changed:The cans don't have screw on lids and they are not taped closed. They open during shipping and and SHOULD be taped closed before they are shipped by Pyramyd. What others should know:I have tried every type of 20 cal pellet I could find over the 33 years I have had this rifle. Everything from the original factory to Crow Magnums. Nothing better than JSB, I get 1/4" groups at 25 yards. |  |

- Things I liked:that you still make this size pellet for my old gun
Things I would have changed:nothing
What others should know:make sure you get the right pellet for the right gun - Things I liked:These are very uniform in size and shape and they fit well in my Sheridan Blue Streak. They are very accurate in a gun that was always impressive in it's accuracy.
Things I would have changed:I wouldn't change a thing.
What others should know:These are the most accurate pellets that I've fired from my Sheridan. The gun with these pellets is more accurate than I am. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the old gun could shoot better with these pellets. - Things I liked:Everything: Accuracy, range, and weight! Perform great with my Benjamin .20 cal C9A, I use them for hunting or target shooting and can hit soda cans with ease at 35 yards!
Things I would have changed:DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING! These are perfect.
What others should know:Some airguns may not like these, however I believe most will shoot superbly with energy, accuracy and range! If you own a .20 you should buy them and try them out. - Things I liked:JSB Diablo Exact .20 Cal. pellets are uniformed and fairly clean straight out of the tin. I rarely find a bent skirt. They are very accurate out of my HW97K.
Things I would have changed:Cheaper price.
What others should know:The pellet is uniformed enough to trim daisy stems in the backyard and stack'em 5 deep on a target @ 20 meters. Buy in bulk. - Things I liked:These are the most accurate pellets out of my beeman R-1 carbine. On a windless day I was able to get several groups under 1" @ 50 yards.
Things I would have changed:Should have a secure lid, but I always use small pill bottles for storage and hunting.
What others should know:Give these pellets a try, very consistent in there shape and very accurate. I have several cans and will be ordering more. - Things I liked: Price is good. Accuracy is great
Things I would have changed:I haven't had any problems with the lid. But I can see why you might would want a screw on lid
What others should know:I have a Blue Streak Sheridan and these pellets work great in my gun - Things I liked:I'm shooting these through my .20 cal Beeman hw97k Blue. Compared to the H&N spitzkugels and barracudas, and benjamin cylindricals, these JSBs shoot the tightest groups by far, to the point that I use the H&Ns only for very short range shots (8-15 yds)at cowbirds and chipmunks, for which those pellets are fine. Anything beyond that range, and for gratifying target shooting, I need these. I'm also glad these come in the 500 ct tin because it's hard to stop shooting once I've started.
Things I would have changed:High shipping cost. Next time I buy a rifle from PA I'll get several tins of these to take advantage of the shipping. I would also prefer a screw lid like the Benj. cylindricals come in.
What others should know:Pellet accuracy is very gun-specific. A friend of mine ordered the .20 cal Sheridan rifle and I asked her to order an extra tin of these JSBs for me. I spent an afternoon sighting in her scope and testing pellets between her gun and mine, and hers shot the Benjamin cylindricals in a 1 inch group at 20 yds, but splattered these JSBs all over the county. My Beeman flang the Benj cyls with a carelessness only slightly less flagrant than her gun's treatment of the JSBs. But my gun puts these JSBs consistently within .5 inch at 25 yds (a flyer or botched shot now and then), and I am 12 for 13 at 30-35 yd chipmunk head shots. Rushed that 13th... So I traded her my tin of Benjamins and we're both happier. - Things I liked:JSB makes a world-class pellet. Great consistancy and accuracy.
What others should know:These pellets shoot very accurately in my vintage Sheridans. - Things I liked:These pellets shoot good in my R9 Roughly 700fps. At about 60 yards 1.5 inch pattern. I also liked the small foam in the tin.
Things I would have changed:None - Things I liked:EVERYTHING! The uniformity is perfection, very few bent pellets and that's only due to me bouncing them around in the field. I also like the devastation these unleash on prey - cans & bottles;-) I love the tin, it actually snaps to close.
Things I would have changed:NOTHING. Please do not change anything!
What others should know:I bought these for my old Beeman RX-1. This rifle used to shoot the boxed Premiers best until it met these recently. The groups are unreal. At 25 yards it's getting match accuracy, we're talking serious 1-hole groups. I'm getting about 19-20 fpe from these out of the muzzle and that's plenty of energy for what I need. I need to keep those pesky bottles and cans off the streets. - Things I liked:This is the pellet of choice for both my HW95 .20 and Theoben Crusader .20. These two rifles shoot many pellets very very well. It faced tough competition from The H&N/Beeman FTS and Crossman Premiers. But hours of testing and comparing groups at ranges from 25 to 70 yards proved them out as best of the best in these guns. They retain high energy at range and have an excellent ballistic coefficient. They more than do the job for varmints in my area.
Things I would have changed:Nothing.
What others should know:If your gun like them as much as mine. I can only quote what another has said "Buy Lots" - Things I liked:This product has a secure lid! It isn't a screw on but it has detents all around the circumference of the lid and it takes a deliberate effort to get it off. The pellets are well formed, free of defects and reasonably clean.
Things I would have changed:There is nothing I can think of to improve on this product. The price is very good compared to other offerings, the accuracy better than more expensive pellets tested alongside these, and the downrange performance was the best. Maybe a pellet weighing about 15.5 to16.0 grains for higher energy transfer would be nice.
What others should know:I test pellets extensively firing thousands of rounds each year, recording the results and collecting them in a database on my computer. One of the things I do is to Chronograph the muzzle velocity and the 20 yard velocity and then calculate a performance factor which can be used to determine how well the pellets maintains its velocity downrange. These pellets are the new champions of velocity retention! I have records of 44 pellets thus far and none equal the velocity retention of these. Their accuracy was also first or second among 7 pellet products tested in both my Sheridan Blue Streak rifle and E-20 series Sheridan CO2 pistol. The initial velocities were slightly lower than anticipated from both guns but they made up for that very quickly in the first ten yards of travel. Interestingly, the former 1ST place velocity retention champ had the same characteristic and was also made in the Czech Republic. - Things I liked:Typical JSB consistency pellet to pellet, and small variations from pellet to pellet in diameter. This is the most accurate pellet in my 40 yr old Sheridan pump. Still shoots about 1/4 inch with 5 shots at 20 yards.
Things I would have changed:I like JSB pellets, but not their tin designs. Too bad they can't make a hollowpoint version.
What others should know: Ballistic coefficient is about .027. - Things I liked:My sheridan likes these pellets, they shoot as good as crow mags and Silver bears. 1/2 the group size of the old sheridan cylinderical pellets.They get the best out my favorite airgun.
- Things I liked:Wow! I shoot a RX-2 .20 cal at usually ~75 yards; I'm amazed how little these drop at that distance. Very consistent, the only thing close is the H&N Barracuda/Kodiak's and they drop about an additional 2 inches at that distance... And these are heavier!
Things I would have changed:The lid on the tin I got is a nighmare to get on and off, maybe just a one off deal, but I am scared to spill 500 pellets fighting with the tin.
What others should know:These hit hard, fly straight, and are great in magnum springers. I'm impressed. And they're a pretty good bang for the buck. Very few bent skirts, strange castings etc. - Things I liked:I use these pellets for hunting and target shooting. very clean and uniform.
Things I would have changed:nothing, excellent pellets - Things I liked:I love this ammo. I used it to sight in my R7 rifle. Great value for the amount of pellets you receive. Uniform and accurate.
Things I would have changed:Screw on lid. - Things I liked:shape of these pellets is outstanding. very aerodynamic, clean right from the tin and accurate.
Things I would have changed:screw top tin
What others should know:I've been shooting air guns for more years than i care to say and i find these pellets to be among the best, if not the best, pellets I've shot from my .20 caliber Beeman RX1. i was sighting in a 'new' scope, recently, and was becoming frustrated with the groups i was shooting with the XXX pellets (the groups were adequate for hunting, though, at 1.5"/1.25" at 35 yards) i purchased some JSB's and tried them...the groups dropped to less than 0.75" @ 35 yards first time. need i say more?CommentsBy Niko from USA on 2012-05-06 0 
Thanks for the review, Don. Nice to hear these pellets worked out great for you with the RX-1. I also have an RX-1 in my arsenal and it shoots the Premiers very well and now (it's all your fault) I'm going to have to try these too! - Things I liked:Most accurate pellet I have ever used. Nicely encased with foam.
Things I would have changed:They are pricey but hey, each pellet is quality checked for uniformity. - 12
