EXCELLENT PELLET

NOTHING

TRY MANY BRANDS & WEIGHT!

Shooting these pellets out of my AA S500 +/- 25 yards was consistently spot on and all inside a dime.My FX Wildcat MK2 also like them equally.Pyramyd Air packaging was excellent I received my shipment in good condition and zero damaged.

Nothing at all.

Is a bit pricey but you get what you paid for due to the fact that the accuracy of these pellets are excellent.Good for small games hunting or just plain target/plinking.

Everything. about this product.

Nothing at All.

You GOT to try out different kinds and brands of the pellets until you have found the kind and brand that you rifle shoots the best. My Hatsan Flash QE performs well with Air Arms Diabolo Field Heavy .22 Cal, 5.52mm, 18 Grains, Round Nose and JSB Match Diabolo Exact Jumbo Heavy .22 Cal, 18.13 Grains, Domed. Very accurate and consistent shot group at 50 yards or less. Any air rifles products, you can find it here at the Pyramydair.com

These have become my favorite pellet for 2 rifles. They have smaller head size and the weight is more consistent than JSB Jumbo Heavies.

Screw on lid for tin.

Try some.

Consistently accurate.

Nothing.

Try these pellets. Gives me the best accuracy in two of my guns and second best in the rest. Very good ammo.

The product is great if you're using JSB's in your gun and they shoot well the air arms will shoot just as well for half the price.

Shipping if you're going to charge us for shipping at least make it 3 to 5 days delivery.

Nope

These pellets have the best consistency and accuracy overall for all three of my bench guns. These out perform the like JSB 25.39 Diabolos and are less expensive.

The tins often come in dented up (rarely seen in the JSB product).

Very consistent from pellet tp pellet, very accurate in my pneumatic pump guns and hits very hard on impact, will make a great hunting pellet , used in a custom built Crosman 1322 with a 14 inch barrel. Looking forward to trying in my breakbarrels.

Not one thing

Try using different pellet brands and weights in all your guns to find best performers.

Veey uniform is size and weight also shoot very good

Nothing at all.

They are one of the most accurate pellets iv tried so far got my 0.41 inch 30 yard groups down to 0.21 to 0.26

Shoot great, Best I have found

screw on lid

good price

Accuracy, pretty clean, little damaged.

Better quality control on head size. Very few 5.52. -- 60%=5.51. 39%=5.50. 1%=5.52

Shot these in my Sig Sauer ASP20 .22 and was satisfied. Less than 1/2" @ 40 yds.

Shoot great in my umarex guantlet and flash.

500 count tins

They shoot just like jsb 18.1

Pellets seem to function well in my Gamo urban 35yds 1ragged hole

nothing pellets are like opinions every gun favors a different one

Air arms Diablo pellets work well in my pcp and the price is real close to fair

This is nice that it a 18 grain that helps me to reach out to 60 + yards with my hatsan flashpup I can a 1 1/2 inch hole grouping.

Nothing

These shoot pretty well

Better packaging some had deformed skirts

Consistency Well shaped. Great flight round. If your guns got legs this is an excellent round.

Price point. But I guess we would have to give up some quality.

Make sure as your cycling shots through trying to find the pellet for that picky rifle to include this one.

Pellet on pellet accuracy, no fliers, no bent skirts and better quality control compared to standard JSB's.

As most have stated a larger 500 pcs tin of pellets would be nice though I will admit the smaller size tin makes it easier to carry around.

As most of you already know Air Arms pellets are made at the JSB factory with the only difference being that Air Arms owns their own dies. Now I've been shooting JSB's almost exclusively for years. I mention this because these AA pellets remind me of the older 'Grey Labeled' tins of JSB pellets that were so incredibly accurate in my guns. The newer JSB's are by no means bad and pretty much shoot the same as the AA pellets except for one major difference. Fliers! Yes, I was shocked to see that I got zero fliers while shooting the AA pellets. Where as with the standard JSB's I would get at least 1-2 fliers in a ten shot group. With the AA pellets I shot 5 ten shot groups with no fliers. There was no sorting of any kind, the only thing I did was wash the AA pellets as I do with all of my pellets. Other than that they were shot straight from the tin. While I do love the standard JSB pellets and like the larger 500 tins I will admit that I will be shooting the AA pellets from now on. Ymmv.

Consistent Pellet. The tins are clearly marked with the date of manufacture, batch number and machine center used. This allows you to police batches you like if they are still in stock. I ordered 4 tins to Canada, as nobody in the country sells these pellets. Three of the tins were from the same run and ARE ACTUALLY 5.52mm head diameter; confirmed with a PELLET GAGE. The forth tin is from a newer 2018 run and is 5.53mm in diameter. The newer tin shows a slightly cleaner tail with a little more flash around the outside of the pellet where it was made, and a brighter look. This is to be expected in a newer tin as they have been handled less. There are a couple in all tins with deformed tails; this happens in every tin of pellets. The important thing here is they are ALL THE SAME SIZE IN THE TIN.

Screw on lid to prevent disasters.

The JSB exact heavies which are for all intent and purposes the same pellet made under the same roof but with different dies. The issue with them is The range anywhere from 5.49 - 5.54 in the same tin with majority being 5.50. Every single tin. This does not make for good consistent groups and lots of flyers. At least if they are the larger size they can be sized back to 5.52 with a die which is what I do. All the rest that are too small are no good in my gun which is 3/4 of the tins, and I had to bin them. I believe the runs are mixed together with JSB, and not so with AA Pellets. This is reason enough to pay for the AA brand.

All 10 shots touching

Nothing

All 10 shots touching at 15 yds from Gamo Urban. Harder metal than the equivalent JSB pellet, less prone to deform

These shoot very well in my Umarex Gauntlet. They'll take out prairie dogs at over a hundred yards.

Can't think of anything. This is a pretty nice pellet.

All air guns are different. Give these a try in yours. They worked out very well in my Gauntlet. I haven't tried them in my Gamo Coyote or Benjamin Disco yet but I'm pretty sure I'll have the same results.
