Page 3 - JSB Diabolo Exact, .20 Reviews

Most consistent with tightest groups from my RWS Diana 48. My preferred all around ammo.

Nada!

Shoot really well out of my Blue & Silver Streaks.

Screw top tins.

Probably one of the best .20 pellets. If you're unsure what pellet your .20 will shoot well, then this is a good one to try first.

I think these are the best pellet ever, so accurate, rare to have a flyer, works excellent in my Beeman HW100, dead on shots, shooting aluminum cans off wires at the tabs they are hanging from at 50yards distance consistently, also excellent take down power, take down Rabbits with precision at 50 plus yards.

screw on top for the tin

these are precision made pellets and work great.

what can I say, these pellets are great, perfect for My HW 100, shot groups of .25 at 25yards with a 12 mph side wind, very consistent pellet, large 500 ct tin, almost no defects, hits very hard out of the HW 100 and nearly perfect accuracy, almost penetrated the back quarter panel of our target VW bug, it put some very deep dents.

screw on tin cap

these work extremely well in a Beeman HW 100, from other review they work very good in other brand guns too.

These are every bit as deadly to tree rats as the old red box Diabolo's were. I took two tree rats this morning from 20 yds--each a one shot kill from my old trusty Silver Streak. Sighting in, these pellets group under .375 at 15 yds from the bench through a stock 1985 Silver Streak.

Nothing I can think of could be changed about this product. Wish more local retailers carried the .20 cal pellets but that has always been the bane of us Sheridan owners--availability of pellets and the variety of said pellets. Bring back the old Silver Arrows and Silver Bear hollow points!!!

I powder coat all my pellets with technical grade moly powder or Artists grade graphite powder--this acts as a barrier from lead on the fingers and gives about a 10 fps boost to speed once the bore is coated as well. Yes, your fingers get that shiny black coating as well after a session at the range but moly/graphite is non-toxic and washes off easily. It also leaves a perfect black hairline circle on white target paper to spot your shots.

I am occasionally getting 3/8" 5 shot groups at 15 yards from my Sheridan C9 rifle with these, the best by far of any I've tried so far. I will usually get 3 out of 5 into 3/8" or less. They usually slip right into the breach without requiring any force. With others, I suspect the skirt is being damaged on the way in and negatively affecting accuracy.

I do get a few definite flyers. Can't really say it's the pellets, but... A bit pricey. Not that long ago you didn't pay too much more for a brick of good .22 rimfire ammo. Also, wish they made some around 11.5 grains.

I am new to air rifles. Got this one at an estate sale. Just rebuilt the air valve in the rifle and still improving the trigger. Put a peep sight on it but was dealing with some glare off the front sight, plus my 58 year old eyes aren't what they were. I'm used to scopes. Hope to improve these groups with some fine tuning and better technique.

Very impressive pellet. Weight is great for 5mm.

Nothing. JSB, please make a wad-cutter for 5mm.

These pellets shoot extremely well out of my super-tuned Beeman R1. They are 13.73 grain which is more like a .22 weight and am getting 820 fps with incredible accuracy.

Awesome pellets - the most accurate I have ever used.

No changes

I shoot these with my Thoeben Eliminator and 2 Blue Streaks. I have complete accuracy at 75 yards. These pellets may cost more but they are totally worth it.

Fit. Shape. Size. Cost ($0.025 ea.) Come in a tin not a box.

Screw on lid for the tin would make it perfect.

Got these for my 1974 Sheridan Blue Streak 5mm. Great fit. Pushes in smooth. Tin does arrive very secure, at least mine did. The detents in the lid to secure it seems solid for on the bench, not sure if it would stay on if dropped. $0.025 per pellet. Haven't shot many yet, but my Sheridan seems to love them.

Soft lead, clean, and none were damaged in my sample. Seems like a very high quality pellet and is packed 500 per tin.

Nothing with the pellets themselves but a screw top container sure would be nice.

I Shoot these out of an R9 and they are the most accurate pellet in my particular rifle at ranges past 30 yards.

Fit and consistency.

Love to see a hollow point and a heavy weight added.

Can only speak to my gun which is a Sheridan blue streak which I've owned since 1969.I had the steroid tune done many years ago. It still shoots great. As for these pellets I'm getting one whole groups at 25 yards. Enough said!

I ordered 2000 rounds of pellets for my blue streak 5mm they were packaged very well and the prices I thought we're reasonable.

These pellets are clean and free from lead residue. Visual inspection proves them to look extremely uniform with no seams in evidence. They have also proven to be very accurate when shot from my Benjamin Sheridan Blue Streak.

Nothing.

Slightly more expensive than another brand of .20 cal, but I believe they are well worth the extra $.

Good quality and clean.

Nothing!

Great pellet for old rocker safety Sheridan. Easy to load; actually a pleasure to load, not the least bit tricky. Very accurate at 11 yards. Not one flier in the first approximately 250 shots taken. This pellet in this gun LOVES to hit its target!

I feel that it is so excellent, I couldn't begin to think how it might be improved.

So far all of my shooting has been indoors at about 11 yards. At that distance this pellet is very nice plinking and target ammo at 3 pumps.

Nice tool and parts, certainly adequate for the intended purpose. Perfect fit in the mid-1970s rocker safety Sheridan Blue Streak that I brought back to life for a buddy. We used to shoot the very same gun as kids, and now it's back in action. I found it a rewarding project and much more fun than packing and shipping the gun for service (to P.A., of course!).

I wish my learning curve was better! It took me three tries to get it right. No fault of the kit. It was my first time inside a multi-pump pneumatic. I think my main problem was poor job cleanliness on the first tries, I didn't get the old gunk out entirely at first.

If you try this as your first rebuild of a multi-pump pneumatic of this sort, be prepared to spend some time on trial and error. Definitely review the directions thoroughly, and also seek out additional instructions and tips that can be found in multiple places on the internet.

Performance and Accuracy is second to none. Best all around pellet for vintage Sheridan Air Rifles. I'm a collector of old Sheridan's and this pellet performs outstanding in all rifles.

Like the old saying goes. "If it ain't broke, Don't fix it" Please don't change characteristics or try to embellish on this product.

Biggest fear and concerns.....Availability of this product. Sheridan Air Rifles are no longer in production in .20 cal. The consumer doesn't have to many pellet manufacture choices and selections in .20 cal. I think .20 is going to be a end of a great era.

About 25 years ago I bought a new Beeman R10 air rifle. These JSB's are the most accurate pellet I've ever fired through the gun. They are superb!

Is it just me or is the JSB tin difficult to open? I, along with the many others who have written reviews, would appreciate a screw on lid.

The JSB's are a nice tight fit in the chamber. I always use the round end of an old Beeman pell seat tool to smooth the pellet skirt prior to shooting. Love the great carton packaging by Pyramid. My pellets came wrapped in foam with cut out cardboard taped to top and bottom. Terrific web site you've got, Pyramid.

All pellets are well built and consistent in shape and size. Using only iron sights, accuracy up to 15 yards very good.

If the price would benefit the consumer, make a 1000 count tin to lower the price.

I'm using these pellets on my Weihrauch HW 90. They average 828 fps which equates to just shy of 21 foot pounds of energy at the muzzle. Even for a dome pellet, they do expand a bit upon impact. Expansion can be seen on my youtube video.

Everything. Great price.

Nothing.

Most accurate .20 pellet I've used in my Sheridan Blue Streak. An excellent substitute for the Webley ACCU Pells that PA no longer stocks.
