Air Arms Falcon, .22 Reviews

Very consistent. Shoots the tightest groups from my crosman 2250 of all pellets tried todate!!

Accurate

Produce the tin with a screw-on top; make the skirts stronger so that they resist deformation better; lower the price

I shoot these out of my Benjamin Marauder Pistol, and they are very accurate. Because the pistol has a moderate power level, I appreciate the flatter trajectory that these lighter pellets produce. They are made by JSB for Air Arms, and they exude the same level of quality. However, like other JSB pellets, they have soft skirts that deform easily in the tin. That's not a deal-breaker for me, but it's something to be aware of if you've never purchased JSB-made pellets. If you want to experiment with a lighter .22 caliber pellet, they are definitely worth checking out.

Very accurate at lower velocity using my Air Arms S510fac

I don't know what could be changed to make it a better pellet.

The skirts on these pellets are very thin and easily damaged. I estimate 10% have damaged skirts but are still usable, another 5% are very damaged.

Weihrauch 97/ tune kit: Chronograph numbers were good AV648 ES13 SD4, accurate

Screw on lid

Thin skirts so maybe 1% have bent skirts most of which can be straightened

These pellets shot really well out of my FX Timberwolf while shooting steel plate at 50 yards from a bench. Im glad that i bought a tin to test out.

nothing

Shoot competition with these - excellent results.

These pellets work well in my Hammerli 850. I averaged 635 fps, with an FPE of 12.03. The accuracy is good, but not the very best. They are effective at rodent control, with a very well placed shot.

Lower the price, use screw-on lids, and engineer tighter groupings.

These did not work very well in my Remington Express, though the velocity was high. I forget to write the chrono statistics on the pellet tin for the Remington. I have a composition book now, and will keep better tabs on my rifle/pellet statistics. I've run out of rats pretty much, so I will take notes for what works best for me.

consistant, accurate, clean

lower price

These shoot very well in several of my 12 ft/lb springers, nice snug fit in the breech without having to use a pellet seater.

Price, cleanliness, look/feel. They appear to have a consistent head size.

Compared to other premium pellets with a documented 5.52 mm head diameter, they fit more loosely in my Remington Express and Ruger Impact. I don't have a pellet gauge, but they seem closer to 5.5 or 5.51 mm head diameter. I would like to see this pellet in a 15 grain version.

They fit consistently in my Remington Express and Ruger Impact, although they are a little loose. With that said, they shoot consistent groups from the Ruger, but poorly from the Remington. They shoot very well from my Crosman 2240, and Benjamin 392.

These came in 2nd in my pellet shootout. They are very good but the jbs 13.43s are more available , so l'm sticking with them.nothing wrong with these baby's,!

The domed shape head and the weight makes this pellet perform well when shot from my .22 cal. Umarex Octane. This pellet is also quite accurate. I recommend this pellet and I would buy it again under circumstance.

Make the price more economical.

I have a tin of JSB Jumbo Exact RS 13.43 Grain Dome pellets. I have read that the JSB and the Air Arm Falcons were/are the same, including the tin, pellet count, and weight. Only difference appears to be the label on the tin. I examined both pellets carefully and could not see the difference. I chronographed these two pellets using strings of five consecutive shots from each tin. This happened on three different occasions. The Air Arms Falcons had a higher fps velocity by an average of 25 fps over its twin pellet the JSB RS. After about thirty rounds shot in strings of five, not one JSB had a higher fps. There has to be an unseen difference. Both pellets were equal in accuracy. They were shot in the same weather conditions when I conducted the comparison. The five shot falcon string used in this re view had a high of 820fps, a low of 808fps, with extreme spread of 12fps. The weather temp was 46 degrees. Shot with .22 cal. Umarex. Octane. Shot at a 3" target from 70' away.

Not much.

They haven't been accurate with any spring or gas rifle I have tried.

There are much more accurate pellets in the same price point. I would try other pellets unless you are shooting cans at 25 yards.

Really nice pellet in my Hammerli 850. No jams, accurate.

I'd like to see a lower price.

The Hammerli that I have seems a little picky on pellets. These work very well with that gun, almost to the exclusion of all others.

Nice quality pellet. Seems to shoot well in all my .22s. It is the only pellet I use in my discovery however. 500 count tin is nice.

Can't really think of anything

At 810 fps these are deadly accurate on small game from my discovery. Highly recommended.

Excellent pellet. Exact same as jsb exact rs. Works beautifully in my Benjamin trail np.22. Squirrels hate them

The same thing everyone else wants. Secure the lid with threads

Any pellets bought from pyramyd air will arrive at your door in better condition than they will when ordering from anywhere else and you get the fourth tin free. Excellent company that takes pride in being the best. Can't go wrong here

Great accuracy in a FX Super Swift. At the medium power setting on the rifle, I'm getting 50 yard groups with these that you can cover with a nickel. Have had no luck with these whatsoever in a RWS54 and HW95. In the these two springers, I get better accuracy with a Daisy Precision Max than with the Air Arms Falcons. They do however,also shoot very well in a FX Typhoon 12.

Standard complaint, please use a screw-on instead of a press-on lid.

Very nice hunting pellet, it's a keep for small game.

None

Keep them in stock.

Pellets in a tin

Had a lot of bent skirts. Not sure if this was a result of me trying to unscrew the lid - it is supposed to pull off. There is foam under the lid to help prevent this, but when you twist the lid, I think it has a tendency to bunch up and twist the pellets in the tin.

Really large diameter tin. Don't try to unscrew the lid even though it looks like it should.

accurate...inexpensive

these are EXACTLY the same as Air Arms Falcon .22 Cal, 5.52mm, 13.43 Grains, Domed, 500ct (this should be indicated, and these should be priced the same, IMO.
