Page 8 - JSB Match Diabolo, .22 Reviews

My custom TalonSS groups these virtually as well as JSB exact heavies except with an extra 7 grains of SMACK!

Nothing, I think they got it right.

Although these are quite heavy for a .22 pellet, the skirts are fairly thin so make sure if you have an airgun that you load directly into the barrel(AirForce guns, break barrels, etc.) that you push in the entire pellet along with the entire skirt.

Heavy weight, Very uniform and clean, hard hitting. Best accuracy out of my Benjamin Trail.

Tins of 500 would be nice.

in my Trail, the back of the skirt sticks out of the breech a little bit but aperently does not affect accuracy.

Heavy hard hitting pellet. Very accurate in my marauder.

Nothing

I would only use it to get rid of larger pests.

Not the best accaury an any of my guns Disco, M-rod, 2250'S ect but they are nice pellets..

Nothing i guess....

the down range energy is awesome hits like a sledge hammer very accuret from 10yd out to 45yd & at that distance it still has enough energy to flip the 22 spiner that i have half way up at less yards it flips it over.

not a thing

this is a very good larger small game pellet this is my #1 25grain pellet. i got luck the rws 350 mag i have can shoot these @700fps giving me more than enough energy at those ranges so thank you pyramyd for every thing.

JSB makes fine pellets, and these uphold the tradition. They fit in the M-rods' magazine and the rifle shoots them really well. With the transfer port fully open and hammer strike maxed, mine shoots them right at 800fps for 36lb/ft. The Ballistic Coefficient of these Monsters is .044 according to what I have read on the Yellow Forum which is very high for a pellet. They fly accurately and don't drop nearly as much as others even out at 100yds. Very high power guns should be fine with these as the skirts are sturdy and shouldn't blow out even at the high settings on Condors' and the like. Have read about people driving them into the mid 900's with good accuracy as they are more bullet shaped than the traditional Diabolo pellet. I use Krytech on them and can shoot hundreds without cleaning the barrel. My pellet search for the M-rod has ended with these pellets. Going to stock up!

I would not change anything about these. Great job JSB!

You probably already know this, but these ultra-heavies are too much for most spring-guns even if they will shoot them accurately. I would call these PCP only pellets. If you have a moderate to high power PCP you need to give these a try.

Uniformity. Impact.

I tried these in my Discovery and 392. Accuracy was poor. Also tried, Eun Jin 28gr., Gamo TS-22, JSB Jumbo Heavy, and Big Boy Heavy-Weight. Jumbo Heavy gave the best accuracy in my guns. But, not as good as Beeman FTS. I'm sticking with FTS. Better a Precise hit than a powerful miss.

The size, great grouping and retained energy out to longer ranges

The tine the pellets come in is a little hard to open because it is smooth all the way around

One of the best fitting pellets I've ever used. Extremely accurate with a devastating hit. I feel that it's the best pellet in the heavy range available.

Nothing

Everything as far as ballistics go. Accuracy, energy, and fit are outstanding.

the freaking tin!! why do all good pellets come in a tin without a screw top! At least the H&N tins snap shut. Also like all other good pellets a larger tin maybe?

these worked great in my marauder, u have to use them in a powerful gun. if not the weight works against you.

Nice fit

Offer little more in shapes with this weight...Hollow points,flat? etc?

Good thumper! when it hits boy it hits.

good accuracy in the TF78PCP as well my TF99

add about 5-6 grains

I was pinching the lead out of remminton golden bullet shorts (40gr.) and winchester LR HP (36gr.), pushing them through a .204 drill hole to size them. Working around the tail with small end nippers to form sort of a waist and tail. Lots of work. Probably not too bright to pinch .22 cartrages for the bullet. They shoot awesome. Accurate. Thats why I think the Monsters could weigh just a little more strickly for the TF78PCP.

They works great with my benjamin disco, very consistent hits, same hole everytime,I really like the cylindrical shape,long and heavy, it's soo different from other types of pellets,give it a try,if your airgun like it,you gonna love it!!

none

very good pellets for long range shooting and desirable for hunting .

Finish was great; chambered easily, shot very good 25 yd groups from my RWS 350 Magnum, these are some hard hitting pellets, should be great for hunting.

Nothing.

These are my number 1 pick so far for my air rifle. Price is comparable to the Predator Big Boys but you get twice as many. Very well designed heavy weight hunting or silhoutte pellets - definitely worth trying.

A very consistant pellet. Outstanding accuracy and it hits like a hammer.

screw top lid

Everything, no really these pellets are simply amazing.

I can't think of a single thing. As far as the tin is concerned, it is fine for getting them home, but there is an easy solution for the slip-on lid. TRANSFER! I've read the complaints about the Crossman Destroyers' over-sized tin, but it has a screw on lid and will hold the Monsters with ease. I ordered Sierra Blitzking bullets for my .22-250 earlier this year and each 100 bullets came in a beautiful heavy plastic snap lid container.....with sticky labels ;) I put 5 of them to work immediately lol. I've found pellets shoot much better coming out of one of these boxes than picking them up off the deck, or out of the dirt.

JSB has done so much right with these pellets they seem to defy the physical laws of external ballistics. I've used them in low power stuff like the Crossman 2200, a mid-power Hammerli 850, and my new Benjamin Trail NP, all with excellent results. Compared with the substantially lighter Crossman domed pellets (which is sweet ammo for the money) The 2200 actually got the Monsters past the muzzle and I found I could even put them to work. I needed no sight correction to hit targets at 20-25yds with the Hammerli. This really surprised me. In the Trail NP they actually shot higher than the domers--- MUCH HIGHER! It didn't matter if it was 20 feet or 20 yards. I can't come up with a reason for this. It just blows my mind. No matter what I shot the Monsters out of they hit like a 16# maul, full swing. OK, maybe half-swing form the 2200 lol. They are definitely bone crushers, but all that power is useless if you can't hit your target and I was not disappointed in the least with the accuracy of the monsters in any case of these 3 rifles.

EVEREYTHING THIS PELLET WORKS GREAT IN ALL OF MY RIFLES

THE PELLETS WERE A LITTLE DUSTY AND LEFT LEAD ON MY FINGERS AND I HAD TO BARREL CLEAN MY RIFLES AFTER A COUPLE DOZEN ROUNDS

this very heavy pellet will shoot deadly straight at the cost of fps velocity BUT WHO CARES BECAUS I HAVE FOUND A SUPER PELLET FOR MY HARD TO PLEASE SHERIDAN NPXL 1100 OOOOOOHHHHHYAAAAAAA

very uniform pellets, they mushroom like a powder buner, they hit HARD!!!

nothing

get them you will enjoy them and what they do.

Good in condor and should work well in powerful pcp guns.

nothing.

Nice hard hitting heavy pellet.

1) the shape makes them easy to insert into my Airforce Talon 2) at 50yds, a couple of pellets in the same vicinity destroys 2x4 lumber

nothing

to me, this pellet seemed accurate at 2500 PSI and higher. Any lower than 2500 PSI and the pellet didn't land where it's aimed at (I shot at 50 yards). In my Talon this means I get about 10 to 15 accurate shots at power level 7
