Page 12 - JSB Diabolo Exact, .177 Reviews

The 500ct. Tin.

Nothing.

Hold fairly accurate in my Gamo Silent Stalker Whisper .177 cal. Up to about 25 to 30 yds. Best pellet for accuracy is Kodiak round head golds in my Gamo hitting 45yds in the quater size target.

0.031 BC, consistency, accuracy

twist open tin!

I use these in a low power pistol (Baikal MP/IZH 46M) and got excellent results. Unlike wadcutters and hollow points, this pellet has one of the best ballistic coefficients (BCs) to go far and still pack a punch. Variations from pellet to pellet is minimal. The shape of the pellet is also very easy to load into IZH/MP 46M.

Easy chambering yet remarkable and predictable accuracy.

Better not change a single thing 'cept the container.

The .22 cal. version of these is the top choice in my Crosman Titan, and as I predicted, the .177's stay inside a quarter at 30 yds with my RWS 48 and also my IZH 46M.

This hit hard and accurate. Prone unsupported at ~25 yards are within a dime. I also believe these have excellent expansion properties as opposed to some of the harder pellets I had been using.

A pad on the bottom as well at the top for shipping. Alot of my pellets have little nicks in the bottom of the skirt, but it does not seem to affect accuracy at this point.

Well Im using a old Gamo Hunter 220 with these. It is rated for "1000" but Im sure its well below that. Anyway, to my point is that these "heavy" for .177 pellets make this old Gamo an absolute joy to shoot. Dime to quarter size groups out to 40 yards and excellent penetration without in and out on a squirrel. In the ranges Ive shot it has the power on a head shot or well placed body shot to knock the squirrel over like it has been hit by a run away train. More often or not, there is not much dancing afterward... one shot, one humane kill

This is the #1 pellet in my Air Arms TX200. Accuracy and consistency are superb. Chronographed a 40 shot string. Average velocity was 811 FPS, with an extreme spread of only 9.4 FPS and a standard deviation of just 2.2 FPS. Group for the 40 shots was the size of a dime. Long range accuracy is awesome. Hits a 2" plate at 75 yards every time. Great long range knock down power. One shot kills of squirrels at 80 yards and crows at 60.

AVAILABILITY! Every time I try to order, these are out of stock.

May not be the best pellet for every gun, but if you have a high power gun, this is one to try!

Nothing special.

Wider

Better than the white labeled JSB's.

accuracy, 5 shots all in 1/4, HW100, 25 yards.

no

easy rabbit head shot in 50 yard at night, 56 mm scope with eluminated cross.

Went from softball grouping to golfball grouping. Perfect pellet for my Ruger Air Hawk.

This is a very clean pellet and they shoot the same from day to day and tin to tin. They are the most consistent pellets I have found in all my guns.

I would like to see a screw on lid for the tin.

These pellets is some of the best shooting pellets on the market today if not the best. I use them in a Stoger X20 and a couple of Crosman a 1377 and a Custom 2400 KT all in .177 caliber. I have fired over 11,000 pellets this summer and 95% have been JSB because they are the best in general.

Uniformity, cleanliness, and no deformed pellets.

Nothing

Bought these to shoot in my Gamo Shadow 1000. Couldn't get much of a 10 shot group at 20 yd. Just under 1".

These are the best pellets to date and the most accurate. My gamo big cat 1200 loves them. I can hit bottle caps at over 175 feet. Pretty amazing I highly recommend these pellets you will not be disappointed. Oh by the way your fingers will not get all black. I love these pellets.

Just one thing a can that screws shut other wise nothing.

Good quality pellet.

Nothing

Shoots well in my higher powered air rifles.

Uniformity and cleanliness

Nothing

These pellets have been proven accurate in my guns as well as my grandson's Disco. With a good .177 cal pellet such as this, I would be hesitant to buy a .22. These shoot flat and have good energy for hunting.

The shape is pretty cool, shaped like a really small bullet, weight is a plus increasing the FPE in my particular rifle compared to the standard 7.9 gr pellets the accuracy is AMAZING very consistent, very tight 3/8" groups at 25 yards very clean as well JSB has consistently pleased my with the quality control, consistency, accuracy and cleanliness of ALL the pellets in their line. The foam line on the bottom and top of the inside of the tin was great thinking to protect the pellets because the skirts are pretty weak but thats only because their designed to expand in PCP or CO2 air guns when their shot so they can grip the rifling in the barrel more to give superb accuracy.

Absolutely nothing I could think of to change about the pellets, so just a screw cap on the tin so I wont have to be so caution when carrying the tin around.

BUY THEM! They are very accurate in PCP and CO2 air guns but don't do so well in break barrels with a spring piston.

I love this pellet and so does my rifle. I have my Benjamin Trail NP sighted in at 25 yrds. with these now. I used to have the good ole' Crossman Premier Hollowpoints at 15 yrds. because of groupings but not anymore. These JSB Exact Diabolos are awesome, giving me quarter size groupings (could possibly be better with a better scope) with a 4x32 Centerpoint scope (planning on getting a new scope). They Penetrate much better than expected. I shot a pigeon at an estimated 50 yrds. and the pellet went right through. I think that with this pellet i have increased my FPE(foot pounds of energy) by some giving me a better chance at some small game. It hits Hard with Lots of accuracy!!! I plan on getting me some more and shooting some more. Price is Just right. So far, all my tins have had no pellets with deformed heads or skirts. Cleaner than most out there. Overall i give this pellet a 5 out of 5. If your considering, consider no longer. Just get them. They are worth a try. If you get them most likely you wont regret your decision. Just an Awesome pellet!

Nothing. These are absolutely one the best pellets i have shot so far.

Even though i have sighted my rifle with these JSB. I have been able to shoot other pellets as well. Although they dont hit dead center where the JSB's are hitting. But they are close. I just conpensate for the difference. I shoot predator polymags (8 g) and they hit 1/2 in. higher & 1/2 in. to the left. I also shoot H&N Baracudas (10.65 g), H&N Baracuda Hunters (10.34 g), H&N Match (8.18), Beeman Kodiak Match (10.65), Beeman Kodiak HP (10.34), all these pellets are hitting left about 1 inch and high about 1/2 inch. but grouping of these pellets are also above my expectations. All in all, my rifle loves all kinds of pellets. From light, average, and heavy pellets. I have yet to try a heavier pellet that the 10.65 g. I will possibly be doing that real soon.

Very consistent and good quality.

Availability

Quality control, clean.

screw top lid.

Shoot good in my lp8.

Nothing...

Theses appear to be 2009 production when they changed the pellet shape. Find some 2010 or 2008 these are horrible.

Has the Predator International label on rear instead of the orange head size label. There is no way theses are 4.52 head size way to loose fit. I get piston slam on a RWS34 bigtime with these. The older 2008 version shot and fit great in a 4.52 head size. I am afraid the supplier dumped his bad 2009 version in a head size of 4.50 on Pyramid Air

Shape, weight, accuracy.

not much. I feel I'm getting a good value for the money.

After some pellet testing, these are now the standard pellet I'll be shooting with my RWS Meisterschutze Pro Compact. They represent the best in accuracy and power for .177 in that gun. I also tested some JSB exact 8.4gr and they performed fine, but these excelled even more. Just a slightly rounder ballistic trajectory, but easily compensated for with a mildot scope. I found these pellets to be uniformed and only 1 or 2 had dented skirts. Although I have no proof to offer except my word, but for fun I was shooting a coke can at about a 100yards with these pellets pretty consistently when the wind wasn't blowing with a 3.5 - 4 mildot hold over zeroed at 40yds. With the JSB exacts 8.4gr every now and then I could connect at 100yds but I could tell the heavies were holding a much tighter group at that range.

everything, I shot them out of a benjamin trail np xp so far they group very well. I bought 4 tins and only found 1 bent pellet. so far these are as good as any pellet i have shot.

lid came off and dumped out all but 3 pellets in my pocket

these don't fit as tight in the barrel as premiers but i cant tell much difference in the way they shoot. I really like them a lot and do plan to buy more
