Page 4 - JSB Match Diabolo, .22 Reviews

These pellets produce smaller groups while shooting my older RWS Diana 34 at 20 yards than can be achieved shooting RWS Superdome pellets, which were my favorite pellet for many years.

These pellets group so well that I am planning to try some of the other pellets JSB offers.

These pellets are very soft. A dropped pellet almost always appears too damaged to shoot. Fortunately, Pyramid Air packs their pellet shipments very well, which is probably the reason I have NOT found damaged pellets in the tin. Admittedly, this is my first tin of 500 pellets.

This is the best ammo I ever tried in my Walther LGV..

Nada

Get a good supply while they last!!!!!

They shoot well and accurate, especially from lower powered guns. They are the most accurate pellet from my FX Royale 200 set on low power.

Cost less. Pellets have gone up in price tremendously in the past 5 years. It seems to correspond with the rise in interest in air guns. Which leads me to believe that the price increase has more to do with the opportunity to make more money based on more demand than it has to do with increased production costs. But that's just a theory.

For some reason, the percentage of damaged pellets with the 13.43 grain is much higher than any other the other JSB weights I've experienced. It is markedly noticeable. I called the folks at Pyramyd Air and they kindly replaced the tin, and sure enough, those too had lots and lots of damaged pellets. Something in the order of 40 - 50 per 500 tin.

Consistent weight, soft lead, very few deformed skirts in the 4 tins I purchased. The best sub-14gr domed .22 pellet around.

A screw-on lid would be nice.

These are excellent for backyard pest control in low to medium powered airguns. I'm shooting these from a Flying Dragon-tuned Xisico XS-12 with great results. Very effective combo inside of 30 yards for winged and 4-legged vermin alike. They seem to hit with more authority than my previous pesting round, the CPHP 14.3gr.

Very accurate in my Beeman R9

Nothing

Good pellet and fair price. Nice pellet to have on hand

price for quality

screw on lid

Found these to shoot the best, so far, in my Bam-50.

Pellet shape

screw on lid, yes I have had the lid fall off

These shoot THE BEST out on my old Crosman 150's.

Most accurate pellet out of 27 different pellets I tested in my new pellet gun!!My Benjamin NPS liked 3 pellets, but the hands down winner was the JSB Jumbo RS 13.4gr.

Test your gun and see which pellet works for you!!!

Size and shape is awesome. Definitely a quality product.

I have mixed feelings about these. On one hand, comparing with JSB 15.89s, these were more accurate. On the other hand, these also dropped about 3-4 inches lower every time at 25 yards (consistently more accurate but more of a drop). Could just be my rifle, I used the Hatsan 1000s spring.

Good pellet, might work better in yours, but if you want distance shooting with an 800 fps rifle, go with the 15.89s. Judging by mathematical laws involving tangents..... these lighter pellets will drop pretty fast compared to what other pellets will.

They shoot consistantly good quarter size and smaller groups at 20 yards, there is an occasional flier (I will take credit for the fliers).

Nothing.

I shot these in my RWS 34 with open sights (new gun Aug 2014), they shot quarter and smaller size groups at 20 yards, but there is the occasional flier. I think they are very good and consistent overall.

They work very well in my Walther LGV Master. So well, in fact, that I didn't bother trying any other pellets.

Nothing

They're lighter pellets as .22 goes, but this may be best for 12 ft/lb guns.

Best pellet for my Air Arms S200.

Nothing.

I get ten shot groups on average less than 1-3/8" at 52.5 yards.

the weight of these pellets is very consistent according to my digital scale,which leads to good accuracy.

nothing

I've read a lot of reviews where individuals complain about the skirt of pellets being damaged,...to me that is a moot problem,you can take a good pellet and insert the dome or head of it into the damaged skirt of the problem pellet ,thereby eliminating the problem,...I've used airguns since I was seventeen years old,now am 51 and can't believe the complainers have never figured that out,...the skirts of most pellets are soft lead ,so if it can be bent it can be straightened out just as quickly,....but anyway these pellets are just as accurate as my superpoint pellets from rws out of my model 52 .22 cal rws rifle.I've heard jsb uses harder lead and I believe that to be true at least on the dome of the pellets ,...shooting through 1 complete milk jug filled with water and into the 2nd milk jug leaving an indention at the back wall of the 2nd jug without passing through and having 4 inches of air space between jugs is what the jsb 13.4 achieved compared to the rws superpoints at 14.5 gr

Excellent pellet for my Air Arms Pro Sport. Shoots very tight groups!

Nothing

accuracy, clean, uniform pellets

screw on lid

These are the most accurate pellets for my lower powered Walther LGV .22.

Typical high quality jsb's.

Nothing

Can't go wrong with jsb's

These pellets are pretty consistent in grouping

Quality control on manufacturing

As I was shooting targets, I noticed that I was getting more and more pellets that looked like someone had walked on them....". I actually went through the whole tin and ended up with about fifty pellets that were unusable . Not much quality control here................

Accuracy and flat trajectory !

Nothing.

Carries a lot of energy to the target. It blows through where 14.3 gr. won't, shot from the same rifles.

Conformity and performance. I have several air rifles and pistols that LOVE these things!

nothing really!

Try 'em. I know I'm glad I did..

This is a very accurate pellet out of my Benjamin discovery. I am able to hit starlings at 75 yard off a mono pod. These are the best pellets to shoot out of the disco but the h&n field target trophy copper coated are a close second at 25 yard, but past that the jsb are the way to go.

maybe more in a tin. But for the money, 500 is worth every penny.

If you have a Benjamin discovery try these you wont be disappointed.
