Page 4 - Air Arms Diabolo, .22 Reviews

Fires nice and smooth from my Diana K98 which doesn't like most pellets over 15 grain. The pellets that weren't damaged fired accurately.

QUALITY CONTROL, QUALITY CONTROL, QUALITY CONTROL. Finding pellets in this tin was a treasure hunt. At east 75% of the pellets had either bent or severely damaged skirts. When I say severely damaged I mean jagged gouges and collapsed. In my opinion this is unacceptable for the price.

These pellets have great potential. I've read reviews of people praising these with only a few complaints like mine but even if it's my bad luck I don't think I'll be taking another chance on these in the future. I have the same problem with JSB having bent skirts but few with severe damage like the Air Arms.

tin crushed quick replacement

Super accurate in my custom Discovery At 10 meters consistently under .1". At 40 yards under 1/2" I Haven't tried them in my (nearly stock) Maximus. Slightly cheaper than equivalent JSB's

Would like see larger head size. My AT-44 doesn't shoot them well

They are soft pellets - the first tin that I got had a lot of strangely damaged pellets. Not dented but cut - looked to me like damage in packaging and not shipping or handling. Replacement tin was excellent!

Out of my AA Pro Sport, these were very accurate.

Nothing.

Very accurate in my ruger impact max

Screw top lid on tin

Hit hard at all distances

Shape and tremendous accuracy in both my Kral and Benjamin rifle

Nothing

This has become my go to pellet in my .22 cal. Kral Puncher Mega for everything except casual plinking. Lost count of the pigeons and rock dove I have taken with it on the dairy.

Uniform and fit the breach well. Shot very good out of a bunch of my guns.

Nothing.

Out of my RWS 48 and TX200 these pellets shoot very accurate from 20 yards to 80 yards.

Quality/Price

Offer on with same head sized but lighter weight, say 14.66 or 13.46.

Best groups in my TX200 Standard length and in my AA S510 TC.After washing and re-oiling (30 drops) with 2/3rds Hoppe's 9 lubricating oil and 1/3rd STP motor oil treatment, they shoot slightly faster and group tighter. Done this to my JSB's and the same result, faster/tighter. Each can may have 10 or so that are 5.50 vs 5.51. I always use a pellet seating tool in my Tx200.

Great Pellet, very happy, Highly Recommend.

Nothing.

Every bit as good as jsb brand

Nothing

Are generally a little cheaper same same quality as JSB I believe they are made by JSB ?

Great. Pellet! ! Very accurate. In my springer! I will buy again.

Nothing it is what it is.

Try a tin, you never know these might be what you've been looking for.

Accurate and well made.

Shot well in both my HW77k and 97k out to 30 yards where I zero. Slightly uphill, five shots all touching. At 12 yards, in my basement just slightly bigger than a one shot hole. I am excited to take them to the range and try them at distance. Chrono at slightly slower than H&N FTTs 14.66 pellets around 30fps but hitting with very similar energy. I am hoping to find they will be less affected by crosswind further down range than lighter pellets.

Very clean and well shaped (uniform) pellets. The weight is consistent also, and very close to the advertised weight claimed by the manufacturer. I am a big fan of the JSB pellets and this ones didn't disappoint as always. Great pellets for the price.

Noting other than a screw up lid.

If you like the JSB's , this ones are one step above them.Love them!

everything, good quality pellet.

put a screw on lid on tin.

these pellets shot very good after i weighed and sorted them, sub .250 in. groups @ 25 yards15.4 -16.2 grain spread on the weight. cant ask any more than that.these are very good pellets!!

Very consistent at 25 and 50 yards shooting out of my Marauder equipped with a hammer forged barrel. 1/4" c-t-c 5 shot groups at 25 yards and 1/2" c-t-c at 50 yards when I do my part. I do wash all my pellets with Naphtha and then lube with FP-10 and these pellets are very clean and have very little lead dust left behind in the wash compared to the JSB exacts which are excellent too.

Lower the price.

Very clean and consistent pellet. Only a half grain spread when checking head sizes. I shoot these unsorted since they are so consistent.

The ones that aren't bent shoot well.

I don't know if it was shipping, or what, but at least 1/3 of the pellets in the tin I got had bent skirts.

I think it may be hit or miss with these. I think if you got a tin that didn't have a lot of bent skirts they would probably be decent pellets. The lead is VERY soft with these.

Very good quality and excellent continuity of weight and head diameter. 90% of the pellets were either 15.8 or 15.9 grains in weight and 5.52mm in head diameter.

What I would like is for there to be 5.51mm head diameter pellets in the tin, as that's what they advertised! The other 10% of the pellets were 5.53mm. Not one 5.51mm pellet in the tin.

Don't expect to get 5.51mm pellets with this product. I wrote Air Arms about this and they did not get back to me...

Consistent size and shape. Very few damaged skirts.

Nothing, seems like a quality product.

Fair performance in my Walther LGV. None of my other airguns showed any accuracy with these.

These are really uniform in their appearance.... pellet weight and diameter.

Nothing....

These actually out performed my jsb's 18.13 which I thought was my magic pellet for my cricket .22, apparently not. I believe it's the 5.51 head diameter that my barrel prefers instead of the 5.52. These give me one ragged hole 14 shot groups at 55 yards that can be covered by a dime, the 5.52 average size group is a nickel. Which is still great at that distance in my opinion. But the 5.51 are tack drivers!!! I shot toothpicks off my back stop for **** an giggles. Love the combination of gun an ammo!!!

Besides the H&N Baracuda Match, these are the only pellets made with a 5.51mm head size which is what my rifle likes best. They are very good quality and fairly uniform with about 75% being 5.51 and about 5% 5.50 and 20% 5.52. Also, very, very few with an damage in the skirts at all. I'm almost sure these are repackaged JSB 15.89 pellets.

Nothing

Don't assume all the pellets in this tin are 5.51. The majority are, but some aren't. If that really matters to you, you'll need to size each one.
