Page 4 - JSB Match Diabolo, .177 Reviews

Consistancy of pellet dimension and accuracy. I shoot these pellets through my Crosman 2100 and they chamber very easily and group very tightly and consistantly. "flyers" are very rare.

Nothing, they work the best for my 2100 out of all the different pellets that I have tried so far.

Great accuracy in Umarex Fusion at 10 and 15 yrds (0.2" pellet pattern). Pattern still good at 20-30 yrds on calm day (0.6"-0.75" center-to-center). Work well in my Crosman 38T 177 pellet pistol at 10 yrds (3 inch pattern).

Lower cost would be nice.

Good pellet for calm days or at shorter distances.

These are excellent pellets at any speed. All I see is comments about not to shoot them in faster guns. While they are the best in my Gamo Recon I also shoot them in a Benjamin Regal 1 inch groups, and Benjamin Discovery at 972 fps, one little ragged little hole all at 20 yards.

Nothing!

Air Arms Falcons do just as good.

Good consistency, shoots well in all of my guns & is the best in a couple of them. Good pellet in low to mid powered guns, good BC, turns my 747 into a 20-25 yard shooter. Good price.

Occasionally find quite a few deformed pellets in a tin but it is sporadic, other than that nothing to change.

This should be on the must try list if you shoot a low to mid powered .177 airgun.

excellent pellet,foam in tin to protect soft lead

nothing

consistant quality - shoots best in my QB78, AR2078B and QB2079B. Shipping was very secure and well packed from Pyramid Air.

Lower cost ;-))

THe BOLO end makes them want to tip on end when I put one n the chamber. Sometimes I have to use a small pick to roll them back on thier side.

a slightly heavier pelletover 7 gns. ) it gives slightly more impact,but has about the same trajectory as 7gn. I also think the round nose design gives more impact and stability. I use .177 exclusively for my Hatsan model 25 Supercharcharger in .177 that is why i'm disscussing light pellets.

I was putting these pellets in one hole at 30 ft. with a green laser sight.

It's all about accuracy and this pellets has that in spades. Several of my air guns get very accuracy with this pellet.

nothing

Buy four and pay for three.

I like that the pellet is very consistent in size and the fact that their domed shape in which it gives them good flight.

nothing but the tin they come in.

If you've got a magnum springer the speed is stupid great but will crack like a rim fire 22, unfortunately their just to light for the Big boy guns, they'll shoot better with a pump air rifle like the 880 or 760 pump master. I shot them out of my Octane and wow,popped a dove at about 25yards and it sounded like a board being smacked. They don't group well for the muscle of my gun.

Soft, clean lead.

Quality control.

In my opinion, JSB has let their quality control slip, and none of them are as consistently accurate as they were since switching from the all gray tin.

One of the best shooting types ammo in all my air guns

Nothing I can think of.

Tried a number of different pellets and came back to these...

Not much.

Better quality control.

Accuracy is terrible. Other pellets I have used produce dead on dime size groups. These produce a quarter size group at ten meters at a 7 o'clock position three inches from the bull. Can't figure out why.

Consistent pattern in my Ruger

nothing

My Ruger piston likes these pellets but didn't like superdomes which are the best for my Octane. Try several types and weights of pellets to see what patterns best in your gun.

These are darned good pellets, both accurate and fast.

They are pricey so I don't shoot them too much.

They often produce the best velocity and smallest groups in several of my air rifles.

I love the accuracy I get out of these pellets. I shoot them out of my umarex fusion and daisy 880s. On my fusion I can get quarter size groupings at 20 yards and this is on a windy day with 15mph gust. For my daisy I only can get 1.5 inch groupings. I love how soft these pellets are also. It's probably the main reason why they are so accurate. Soft pellets tend to grip into the rifling better.

Nothing really,I even love the non screwing lid.

If only it was two dollars or so cheaper but for the accuracy they give and it's a 500 tin it's good price

Fairly consistent pellet weights, easy pellet insertion and uniform unbent pellet skirts.

Screw top lid on container.

I bought these pellets primarily for plinking with three match pistols. A Feinwerkbau 90 Match, Beeman/Diana "Original" Mod.10 Match, and a Russian Bikal IHZ-46M Match. The only reason that I mention the makes of the pistols is because two of them are spring air and one is a single stroke pneumatic but they are all recoilless which gives them superb accuracy. Also, all three pistols have Leupold/Gilmore 1 moa Red Dot sights which also helps to improve their accuracy. Normally for match shooting I use RWS R10 7.0 Grain Match pellets. If I bench mount these pistols and use R10's, I am able to get one hole targets at 10 yds. and the hole is not much bigger than the pellet. This is especially true with the Feinwerkbau and Diana. However when I used the JSB's Exacts, at 10 yds., I found that they will also give me just slightly larger one hole groups than the R10's (no kidding). When shooting both R10's and JSB's bench rest at 20, 30 yards and (even at 40 yds. just for grins), there is no contest. The JSB's beat the R10's by a fair margin for for both accuracy and less pellet drop. but that was to be expected or was it. One last note: Finally I tried these pellets in a Feinwerkbau 300S Match Rifle at 10 yds. and things got even better. One hole, 5 shots .190 dia., not to shabby for a dome pellet. These are now my PPP's (plinking pistol pellets) of choice and maybe after further testing, even for some of my slower rifles. Give'em a try.

Consistancy

nothing, good pellet

I also tried the the Exact 8.43gr, but switched to these because these shoot a bit flatter in my FWB 124,averging 830 fps..

works great in s&w m&p 45. My favorite so far.

Tin is real poor, it needs a screw.

Look very nice. I will by more.

Great pellet in some of my lower powered spring guns. Very accurate and consistent when the barrel likes it.

Price could be lower.

ice pellet to try in those old match rifles like the FWB 300s, Walther LGV, Diana 65,etc. Some guns really like them. Some don't.

How well they shoot out of my QB78. Less than a 1/4" c-t-c group from 10 yards. Best pellet yet.

Some of the skirts of the pellets on top of the tin are damaged. It seems that the container for the pellets may not be large enough, so when the container is closed after manufacturing, some of them get crushed.

If you have a low to medium power air gun, give these a try. They may be just the pellet you're looking for.
