Page 32 - JSB Match Diabolo, .22 Reviews

5-shot groups average 0.6" @ 25 yards out of my Gamo CFX with gas ram. These also somehow strike exactly the same point of impact as the somewhat lighter JSB Exact Jumbo (non-heavy version) pellets that I sighted in my rifle for, so these will probably have a flatter trajectory out to about 50 yards. JSB also puts a thin piece of foam on top of the pellets to cushion their fantastically uniform and clean pellets. The 500 count tins also have a very robust lid that does not come off accidentally.

The expense, but I am under no illusion that you pay a bit more for quality, and JSB has a richly deserved for producing the finest pellets available.

When you are seeking the pellet that performs best in your particular rifle, it would be best to buy several different brands and models in small lots, take them all to the range for a lengthy shooting trial. Then, you make up at least five separate five shot groups for each specific pellet, measure with calipers, then choose accordingly. All you need to do then is to buy large quantities of the best pellet for your rifle.

Accurate, clean, and precise, these pellets are simply the best. Perfect balance between the lightweights and the heavyweights, at 18 gr these give great ballistics when used at 30+ FPE. My BSA Sportsman HV launches these @ 925 fps and literally "stacks" them at 20 yards! Paintballs are no match at 50 yards!

Absolutely Nothing!

Both my RWS52 and my BSA like the 5.52mm head size.

These things are down right mean, bad to the bone. Im shooting them in a 34 diana and wow, i have to be careful of my backdrop for sure.

shoots real good out of my mag springer

Dale-USA Vary good all around pellet. Found no bad ones in tin, vary accurate even over 100 yds.

Nothing

Works excellent in my TX 200

My Marauder shoots these pellets very well. They group better in my gun than the H&N 21.1 Barracuda Match. I can buy these in the 500 count cans. JSBs pack these with foam liners to protect the pellets.

I would like to see a 20-25 grain version of this design.

These pellets are softer than other brands (which is a good thing for accuracy and it's a great thing for hunting. These pellets are top notch.

Works well in the RWS 350 magnum.

Make it a screw top container.

This pellet was the best of the 3 JSB pellets I tried. (14.3gr, 15.9gr. 18.1 gr) My RWS 350 magnum can take advantage of the extra weight without sacrificing much trajectory loss. I can average around .60 in. at 32 yards with this one under good conditions. This pellet ranks about 3rd in my gun behind Crosman Premier and H&N Barracuda at longer ranges.

These shoot better than the 14 grain pellets, but the 14 grains shoot good too. These are just more closer on the group. These hit harder.

Nothing keep em like they are

These shoot good in all my air rifles,.

These are very clean with very little visible damage. Nice and smooth finish with no flashing at all. They are easy on the fingers to load in single shots (Condor) due to being nice and soft. Excellet quality for the price.

Use a screw top tin.

These are great for PCP rifles such as the Condor, Evanix S10 and the Marauder. The 18+ grain weight is a good offering for maximum velocity while maintaining good energy retention at longer ranges. I get good 1/2 inch or less at 50 yards with all of the above rifles. These hit at vitually the same POI as the Premeir and Kodiak so little or no scope adjustment is needed. If using the 15 grain JSB's there is no real difference in POI other than the lighter pellets are affected by wind much more. These seem to like the 925-950 fps mark in my Condor, 950-975 in the Evanix and 850-875 in the Marauder. Try these if the heavier Kodiak or H&N Barracudas are hard to find. For the price they are probably the best buy out there.

Easy to load by hand. Accuracy. Downrange energy. This jumbo .22 cal. pellet has everything I wanted in a hunting pellet as I prefer a domed shape to the pointed ones. I've found both RWS and JSB domed pellets to be more accurate, and kill more quickly, than any of the other nose designs

Nothing.

The bearing surface on this JSB domed pellet makes for top accuracy out of high velocity air rifles like the nitro piston guns. No flyers out of the groups with this jumbo.

Outstanding accuracy in my Marauder and Discovery out to 50 yards (and maybe more - I haven't tried). With the right hold and technique I have been able to consistently produce one hole 10 shot groups at 25 yards. In my opinion that is outstanding accuracy.

These are among the best pellets Ive used - I have found no issues so far.

Without a doubt, JSB makes some of the best pellets out there (in my opinion). While they may not work well in every gun I have found them to be surgically accurate in my Marauder and even Discovery. Their hefty weight really lends itself very well to the power of the Marauder and for me they seem to compliment its already outstanding accuracy perfectly. I will continue to buy these as long as they're available.

Nice consistency, clean pellets and very accurate. Well packaged too. Seems to be a good all around pellet for my Talon SS. Plenty of punch.

SCREW TOP LID!!

It's a BIG TIN but all were shootable.

The JSB 18gr. is one of the best pellets on the market do to it's weight. If you find that the 21gr. Beeman Kodiak too heavy and a 16gr. pellet too light then look no further. The JSB is what you've been waiting for. And with a build quality second to none. You will find it hard to beat the JSB's match grade quality. Accuracy of this pellet is extraodinary outstanding. JSB also does a great job on packaging with foam on top and bottom of the tin to better protect there fantastic pellets.

I find it hard to imagine why anyone would want to change such a remakable pellet. So for me i would change nothing.

This has to be the biggeist tin of pellets I have ever seen! They must be twice the size of regular tins... not that it's a bad thing. If you just wanted one pellet to do it all the JSB would be the one. Extremely stable in flight, phenomenal accuracy and tremendous knock down power even at long distances. great for hunting and plinking. indivdual results may very. But if you have a high power PCP airgun I think you will greatly benefit from what the JSB have to offer. In case your wondering what i'm shooting these JSB pellets with. I have the Air Arms S410 and a Daystate Airwolf MCT both in .22 cal

awesome hope to nail the 10 ring

Very accurate out to 60 yards with a little drop compensation, they hit hard all the way out. Clean pellet very little residue on your fingers.

Price. This is just a chunk of lead alloy why do they cost near the same as firearm ammo? Had quiet a few dinged skirts, maybe they are too thin.

Good pellet but many deformed or dinged. They shoot higher than 15 grain pellets from my RWS 34P at 25 yards but just a little lower at 35 yards.

I love the new 18.1g. I am sooo glad there is a heavier JSB, not the heaviest, but a nice intermediate weight that rounds out JSB's selection of pellet weights very nicely. It had the same POI as the 15g JSB at 30yds and only a bit lower at 50yds, but only needed a few turret twists. Put a much bigger dent in backstop, but I did get some 28g EunJins and they blew a hole in my backstop.

It's a JSB! What exactly would your highness like to mess with perfection for?! Well. for starters I would love to see a 28 and 32g JSB after seeing the EunJins devastating results on my backstop especially how much smoother JSBs are compared to the EunJins. I bet the improved aerodynamics may get faster speeds and POSSIBLY geting OVER 60ft/lbs (see my review on EunJins for explanation)

PyramydAir is the best and JSB's are fantastic pellets. I dont care if you have "one you like", if it's not a JSB you could be missing out. Yes, lots of great pellets exist and, I think the "best" pellet depends on its application requirements, but a JSB IS one of the best pellets for nearly all applications. I run a co2 condor and a benji 392 and I shoot daily at distances of 50yds; this is a go-to-pellet because I can trust its results and don't have to buy tin after tin of other brands to find the "one". I did buy some 28g EunJins ONLY because JSB doesnt make pellets in that weight class yet, but if they did I would buy them over the EunJins. But you dont have to take my advice, that just leaves more JSB's for me.

These are very good pellets for my .22 Marauder and my shooting environment. If you're having accuracy problems with other pellets you must give these a try. I shoot at 10m targets exclusively so this review does not include ranges farther than that.

More secure lid.

Another pellet to try is the cardboard boxed Crosman Premiers. Between the two you should have Marauder one holers.

Fast, good penetration and very accurate

nothing

This pellet had incredible accurate. best at 50 yards.well fit

they shoot great out of a blizzard s10

make the skirt a little thicker

great hunting pellet

Clean. Well packaged.

none

These didn't shoot worth a hill of bean in my Marauder. But, don't read too much into that - they shoot very well in other guns (even other Marauders) Every gun is different. So, while I can't give them a great accuracy review, I'll also not hold that against the pellet. They are clean, smooth, and well packaged (between layers of foam to prevent dents). They are much softer than Crosman Premiers, and their skirt is not thick like the Beeman Kodiak. They are also softer than either of those. JSB makes some great-looking lead, and I've seen awesome results from other guns. My gun didn't like them. But, I had to give them a shot.

These shoot great in my Beeman Kodiak. I had a gas ram installed and with these pellets I'm grouping under an inch at 55 yards. Hard to beat the price, also.
