Page 5 - JSB Match Diabolo, .25 Reviews

These shot as good as the regular jsb kings out of my at44-10s qe just out edged the regular king heavies that grouped right at an inch to where the mkll's were right at 5/8 of an inch at 42 yards.

15.99 maybe for a 300 stack vs the 350 you get with the 25.39 kings? Not a deal breaker for me though.

The mkll's seem to have a slightly smaller head and skirt diameter to the regular king heavies.i can feel the difference in the rifling engagement between the 2. POI is the same for me other than the grouping size. And also 1 mil dot drop at 12x at 42 yards when sighted in with the 25.39 jsb. 42 is all I got before I start marching up the mountain side otherwise I'd certainly go out further. Curious to see how they'd do at 75 yards. Try a tin of each variant of the king heavies. Other hatsan owners seem to have similar luck with these pellets from what reviews I've read.

JSB are always the most accurate pellets made anywhere!

Nothing

Great for PCP airguns, maybe a little heavy for springers.

JSB are always the most accurate pellets made anywhere!

A padded tin so there are not so many deformed pellets from shipping.

Good & heavy

Performed excellent out of my Hatsan bull boss 25. I was getting 1" groups @ 50 yds with the regular 33.95 heavies and when I switched to the MKII's groups shrank to 5/8" @ 50 yds with consistentcy.

Price.

These pellets, out of an FX Royale 500, are simply awesome. I am talking dime size groups at 75 yards under great conditions, without sorting the pellets. If I could ever get in to sorting, then the results would be that much better. No pellet I have shot, or heard about, comes close to these dudes.

Not much - make them more precise if that's possible? size/weight, etc... ? That's a stretch, but since you asked...

Don't wait - get them while they are in stock. Notice they are not always in stock, so buy them when available.

LUBED PELLET VERY GOOD PERFORMANCE AT LONG RANGE TARGETS. BUCKS THE WIND AND IS MUCH MORE CONSISTANT FROM THE RIFLES I HAVE USED THEM IN AT VEL. OF 1100FPS DOWN TO 800FPS.

LARGER TINS 500COUNT WOULD BE GREAT! MORE FOR LESS.

THEY FIT THE HATSAN MAG.S, SUMATRA, FALCON, AND A NUMBER OF OTHERS BUT THE REALLY NEED TO FLY AT ABOVE 850FPS TO GET THE MAX. PIN POINT HITS. THEY REALLY MAKE THE SUMATRAS SHINE, RIFLE OR CARBINE!

JSB manufactures a consistent, clean and precise pellet. Packaging contains a foam disc that helps with preserving the pellets from deformation. The OVERSIZE of this pellet makes it fit the oversize bore of my Hatsan M-136, and has made the rifle an accurate shooter.

Not the pellets! I would prefer a screw top lid for the large pellet tin. The snap lids can result in a spill of the contents when trying to open them.

One will likely need a Pellet Seat Tool to set these into the breech given the oversize and the thickness of the skirt. Beeman no longer manufactures the old tool, but RAW, from Nashville, TN, makes a clone of the old standby and it comes on a lanyard! The ball end of the tool is all that is needed to set the skirt into the breech and prevent its deformation - particularly on break barrel breaches. This also has the happy consequences of starting the pellet in the rifling and saving the power plant energy for accelerating the pellet rather than driving it into the rifling.

JSB makes a clean and precision product. This is one more of them. The increased head diameter has FINALLY turned my Hatsan M-135 .25 into an accurate shooter. The over-size bore in the Hatsan was "fixed" by the larger head diameter of the Exact King Heavy pellets. Other quality pellets tended to be erratic from the rifle.

Nothing needs to be changed in this product, as I see it. Indeed, given the bore size issues with the Hatsan M-135, I hope that NO changes are made to the dimensions of this pellet.

A pellet seat tool may be necessary with this pellet. I use my venerable Beeman Pellet Seat tool, the ball end, to "click" these into the breech. The Beeman tool is no longer available, but RAW makes a clone of that pellet seat. Given the thick skirt of the Exact King Heavy, such a tool will likely be quite necessary.

very accurate

Screw on lid would be nice

haven't used them for hunting yet but I bet they wont disappoint me.

Grouped well in my Cricket 25 at 910 fps

My .25 modified MRod loves these. Best in the wind and rain. Hit like a ton of bricks, 44 FPE. Haven't missed a rat yet at 20, 30, 35 yards. These pellets are clean, with very few deformed skirts.

More to a tin, and a screw-on lid would be nice for us arthritic old geezers.

These really are the most accurate with my MRod, and I have tried everything. JSB 25.39 Grain are the other favorite. The MK II's have the edge in bad weather. Got 4/6 ants at 68 feet the other day using a Sightron 10-50 x 60. Light rain, 4-8 MPH cross wind, no correction required , except leading on a moving target.

My .25 Airforce Condor shoots best with these pellets. The lighter JSB's are not as accurate for my gun so I stick with what works. At 75 yards, I can get dime size groups with ease even in windy conditions. At 100 yards, quarter and sometimes smaller groups. Although the weight of these pellets are not precise from pellet to pellet, I still think that a missing grain or two does not have a great effect. When you have a 3 or 5 grain difference, then you might. So far, the Heavies are within two grains of each other. These pellets are a bit bigger than most. Makes it easier to pick up and load into my Condor. Accuracy with these pellets are excellent.

A bigger count? A 500 tin would be nice. Seeing how these are the only ones I use, even a 1000 box would be great.

I shoot at the lowest setting on the AirForce Condor. I am still getting 875-900 feet per second with these pellets. Sure is nice having such a punch at such low settings.......I get at least 120 shots from an air fill up. These pellets devastate chipmunks. They almost explode. English Sparrows are just a puff of feathers.

Precision made

Nothing

If your looking for precision made pellets these are them

Accurate and hard-hitting. Turns starlings inside out at 25 yards.

More pellets, less money. Include a $50 bill in every third tin. ;-)

An excellent heavy pellet in my Benjamin Trail NP XL. Hits like a ton of bricks and is more accurate in my gun than the Eunjin heavies.

very accurate

flatter head design for better expansion.

they work perfect in a fx bobcat mk2.

I like how accurate the pellets are consistent in size and weight I shoot a 25 caliber FX wildcat I have a few fly aways I shoot dime size targets About 35 yards away with the these pellets I can put them through the same hole consistently.

More pellets in the TiN screw on top

Try these pellets hit like a sledgehammer you would not be disapproving

My FX Wildcat loves these 34 grain MKII pellets, and I like the way they buck the wind much better than the 25.4g Exact Kings. I also like the uniformity in size, shape, and weight.

I would change the cans to ones with screw on lids...but nothing else.

My fellow airgunners should know that I clean my pellets with Acetone to remove any graphite, wax, or other lubricants used during the manufacturing process. After letting them air dry I lubricate them with a light spray of Napier Pellet Lube. My very best group was on Mothers Day when I shot a four shot group that measured 1/2" at 100 yards. The Markham Park range master and several other range officers witnessed me shooting that group and many others like it that morning. None of my other 100 yard groups were larger than 3/4" that day. It was a flat calm, about 89 degrees, and 85% humidity here in South Florida at sea level. The bottom line? If you have the right airgun, clean and lube your pellets, and know how to do your part, these JSB MKII pellets will do their part every time. Because of the accuracy of my rifle and these pellets, I sold all my other air rifles and got rid of all other pellets. Would I recommend these to a friend? Not if he was going to be competing against me.

Hard Hitting, Accurate enough to Consistently hit paintballs on golf tees at 50 yards and beyond in my shooting. Packed with foam in can to prevent pellet damage during shipment. Pre-lubed.

Would like to see better consistency can to can which is pretty much a universal issue across all pellet brands (these are better than most others). Price could be better. Watch for discounts and sales then stock up.

If you are a .25 Airgunner then you already know about this pellet and it's attributes. If not then you have probably been living under a rock. I have 25+ cans on hand which speaks volumes about my like of this pellet. Perfect for larger birds and small game.

I like that this is an improved pellet, the result of JSB listening to the cry of the people, they fixed the Standard King Heavy that some guns hard a problem feeding and came up with the MKII, every bit as good as the great King Heavy.

With the pellet nothing, but I would pay a dollar more a tin to get a screw off lid.

Maybe it is just my rifle but the 25.39 gr. Exact King shoots to the same point of aim as the 33.95 gr. at 25 yds.

I'm shooting a new Syn-rod at about 700 fpe with these and getting most shots in 3/4 of an inch at 50 yards, but about three per mag fall outside that group and bring the group size to 2" at 50 yards.

Here's where these pellets frustrate me; I have a reloading scale, so I took to sorting them. They range from 33.1 grains all the way up to 35. Only about 20 per tin fall outside the range between 33.5 and 34.6 grains. The rest of the pellets are pretty evenly distributed inside that range; just slightly tapering off toward the extremes. Shooting these sorted pellets makes the group abnormality obvious. The 33.5s group like a scatter gun at 50 yards. The 34s would all land on a quarter. The 34.6s, of which there are only about 15 per tin, are .04" center to center at 50 yards. You read that correcty. .29" groups.

I see these tins as 15 pellets of pure beauty and 285 by-products. At over $1 a shot that way, there's no question that these aren't cheap, but having the ability to choose which feather I want to hit on a bird's head at 50 yards is worth at least $1 to me.
