By sam from USA on 2010-01-31 11:36:57 Things I liked:everything, the best of the best. hard to find any pellet to out perform this one. This is my favorite and works best in my Walther Talon Magnum 22.Things I would have changed:Nothing What others should know:Dont waist you time with other more expensive pellets or ones that look fancy, these out perform any pointed and hollow point pellet in all categories. These run circles over the preditor polymags also |  |

By Brian from USA on 2013-04-09 21:12:10 Things I liked:nothingThings I would have changed:should have bought hn or crossman or benji or anything but these. What others should know:almost all of the pellets were bent at the skirt. they will not pattern well 2.4 inches at 20 yards. For the price these pellets should be made better. cp are made much better and cost five dollars less and shoot better. Shame on PA for selling a poorly made pellet.I by this from them they should do a quality check and discuss this with JSB. Don't believe all reviews you read go to you tube and look at the pellets yourself to see how poorly made they are. |

- Things I liked:shoot well in my airforce talon ss & my glowing review of the product that pyramyd declared was not publishable is still TOO TRUE!
Things I would have changed:pellets shoot consistently well...minimal +/- variation
What others should know:airforce talon is "ONE FINE AMERICAN MADE AIRGUN WITH SO MANY VARIATIONS AVAILABLE"(barrel extension may prove beneficial too those who may prefer a lower decible level under certain circumstances) - Things I liked:Some guns excellent accuracy, other guns just ok.
Things I would have changed:Nothing
What others should know:Will work well in some of your guns. - Things I liked:The fit, finish( not excessively dirty), the accuracy.
Things I would have changed:Nothing
What others should know:Be sure to give your airgun a chance at being as accurate as possible. Try to put legitimate groups together with as many different pellet types as you can. For me, JSB's are outstanding. - Things I liked:Sponge insert(s) some have two one on bottom also, I like the idea one is on the bottom I use to turn the can upside down and place sponge under the pellets.
Things I would have changed:Price is a little high, supple and demand I guest.
What others should know:Shooting for 45 years now and on for the first things I want when acquiring a new airgun is a pellet that shoots straight consistently in that new gun. This one is one of two brands that I can say almost all my airguns like from springers to PCPs. So if you're looking for that Magic Pellet try is one out before spending a lot of money testing out other brands. The other one of two is Air Arms pellets there very similar in accuracy when comparing them in the same pellet weight category. - Things I liked:nothing
Things I would have changed:should have bought hn or crossman or benji or anything but these.
What others should know:almost all of the pellets were bent at the skirt. they will not pattern well 2.4 inches at 20 yards. For the price these pellets should be made better. cp are made much better and cost five dollars less and shoot better. Shame on PA for selling a poorly made pellet.I by this from them they should do a quality check and discuss this with JSB. Don't believe all reviews you read go to you tube and look at the pellets yourself to see how poorly made they are. - Things I liked:very uniform, only found 1 with bad skirt out of 500. EVERY pellet went into the chamber with ease, and very accurate.
Things I would have changed:nothing, going to try the 14.3 gr and the 13.4 gr next
What others should know:yes, buy them and give them a try. Pyramid Air ships pellets in a padded box to eliminate any deformities, REAL nice. - Things I liked:My Benjamin Trail NP XL 22, Loves these pellets! I can get a .50” group at 35 yards (shooting with a rest). Have gone through 200 or so pellets so far and need to get more. I still get a flyer on occasion, but then, that just may be the shooter.
Things I would have changed:Nothing!
What others should know:Like "they" say, keep trying different pellets till you find the one the gun likes. They cost a little more, but let your groups speak for them self. - Things I liked:As usual very uniform weights and head sizes.
Things I would have changed:Screw Top Lids!
What others should know:Like any pellet you have to find the right one for your rifle. These were bought for my Diana 56TH .22 and did not group like I wanted. But they are consistent. I am sure I will find another gun they shoot well in. - Things I liked:Excellent ammo, fits perfectly in my .22 Cal Crossman Nitros.
- Things I liked:The Crosman Nitro Venom .22 shoots these fairly well...if you can get them to fit.
Things I would have changed:QUALITY = FAIL! Out of 500, I could use maybe 200 of them due to most of the skirts being bent, smashed, or rolled in or up. I paid good money, a lot more than I should have, for these and was left with an unusable product. I refuse to by JSBs again until they can get quality control standards that meet industry standards. Price = FAIL 2x as much as Crosman Premier HPs and don't work nearly as well. I would also change the fact that the lid isn't a screw on...for the price I better get all the bells and whistles.
What others should know:On the tin it says "Hand Selected" but I swear mine where sorted by the Iron Fist because 60% of my pellets were just smashed or unusable. When I got them to fire out of the Nitro Venom they shot "ok". I found that Pred Polys and Crosman PHP work way better and are more useful and a better value. - Things I liked:Honestly -- not much. Had high expectations due to my very positive experience with JSB 18.1. Wanted somehting in the 14.5 graing but these were a disappointment. About 100 fps slower than H&N FTT and beeman 14.6 FTS and about 110 slower than the cheaper Crosman pointed 14.3. Yet not any more accurate
Things I would have changed:Better manufacturing standards and quality control
What others should know:May work in your rifles but will ulitmately find better. - Things I liked:Good Pellet, good performance, good price.
Things I would have changed:nothing
What others should know:In certain air guns these JSB Diabolo Exact 15.9 grainers shoot extremely well. I bought these to test with my new P-rod. These shoot Ok (3/8 inch ctc at 15 yards) I am very particular when accuracy counts when it needs to be a clean head shot on a starling or ground squirrel. These shoot very, very, very well (1/2 in ctc at 40 yards out of another air rifle I have). - Things I liked:The head size was very consistant and the lead was a great consistency, allowing for maximum expansion!
Things I would have changed:The durability or the skirts
What others should know:about 50-80 of the pellets were damaged when the pellets arrived im not sure if this was in shipping or if the pellets were poorly sorted on JSB's part. - Things I liked:they work better than my last pellets that i purchased
Things I would have changed:when a gun is sold you should add a paper with recommendations as to what pellets works with that particular rifle. i found out about after i had a problem with the ammo that i was using and when i talked with the tech he explained that it was not the correct weight for my particular rifle, but all is well now. thank you
What others should know:i have pesky squirrels here on the farm and i am having fun creating havoc for them. hopefully they will leave soon. the pellets seem to be more accurate than the last ones that i used and that is a plus for them. - Things I liked:I didn't give these pellets a five star rating despite the great accuracy from my R9 at 25 yards. I had a lot of issues of spiraling pellets at ranges beyond 35 yards. I could see the round spiraling down range through my scope, beyond 35 accuracy was atrocious.
Things I would have changed:See above, and the friction fit pellet tin.
What others should know:I had bad luck with these pellets, I even tried sorting them out but still found many of them spiraling. Your mileage may vary. - Things I liked:Theyre just okay but nothing special in my Benjamin Trail Np
Things I would have changed:I received a tin and upon opening, I could see many many mis-shaped/deformed prllets right on the top. Obviously quality control is lacking.
What others should know:Pyramid Air promptly dealt with the bad tin and mailed a new one at no cost to me. I have not opened it, so cant say if the new one is any better. I ended up picking through the first tin of 500 and about 80 were deformed. Not good. Accuracy is so so; i'll Only use for general plinking. - Things I liked:big heavy pellet.
What others should know:not so great in my hammerli pneuma. did ok in the kodiak. - Things I liked:Nicely formed and clean pellet in a 500 count tin. Not a screw on lid, but it is a secure pull-off/push-on design. The best part is in its performance. It lost an astounding little velocity between the muzzle and 20 yards (less than 7.5%). Most pellets I have measured lose around 10% of their initial velocity at that distance.
Things I would have changed:The tin is a large diameter and unsuited to carry in your pocket. Minor complaint but I would change it.
What others should know:I originally intended to use this pellet in my Benjamin Trail XP NP-1100. However, it shot a little left of my other pet loads and had a somewhat large velocity spread from shot to shot. Average velocity was 816 fps and the impact point was consistent even though left. I then decided to try it in my Benjamin 392. The average velocity was 651 fps and shot to shot variation yielded a very small standard deviation of 4 fps. The accuracy was a consistent tack-driving one shot after another spot on impact point. I was not shooting paper but a 1-1/2" swinging target at 25 yards. I never missed in a least a dozen shots and the impact marks were all near center. I believe this illustrates that evaluating a pellet from a one-gun perspective may be misleading of its merit. That is why it is helpful even if not definitive, to list the gun you shot your pellet from. In time as more reviews are posted, if a pellet does not perform well in a particular model (or in any model/or well in others) then the reviews become more useful because of the specifics that can be gleaned from them. - Things I liked:Pellet quality. Good value. These shoot great in my old Benjamin 342. One of my favorites.
Things I would have changed:Internal padding to better protect pellets. Make pellet skirt a little stronger so it better resists deformation.
What others should know:These should always be included in the mix when looking for the best pellet for your gun. - 123 ... 78
