Quality!

Nothing at all

This is my top performer out of the airforce Condor SS .22. JSB exact, same weight, was a tight contender. Either will be a great pellet out to 100yds for small game such as squirrels and gophers.

well made . only a few bent skirts

needs a screw on lid.. price is a lil high.

very well made pellets. try some !

A good heavy pellet for most guns. Always compared to JSBs, but I find the Air Arms a fraction more accurate.

500 to can.

At their best in higher powered guns.

So far these are the best grouping pellet in my Air Force Condor. These pellets are clean and consistent in weight.

Make them available in larger quantities.

Some reviewers claim these are jsb pellets. The weight of the Air Arms pellets are more consistent and they are a couple thousands longer than jsb pellets. 10 shot groups with the A.A. Pellets are always smaller than groups shot with jsb pellets even when I sort the jsb's by weight.

I shoot these exclusively in my Diana 56TH and they group well. Fit and finish are great and weights are consistent.

500 count tin and SCREW TOP LIDS!

These are supposedly JSB rebadged for Air Arms. I need to weigh them out compared to JSB 18's to see if they are truly the same. These cost slightly more than JSB of similar size and weight so if your rifle shoots these well try the JSB's too and you may have an exact replacement at a savings cost on the 500 tin of $3 roughly since AA does not make a 500 count tin.

Dead on accurate in my springer. I killed a rabbit at 40 paces right in the head. I stepped up to this heavier load and my rifle loves em.

nothing

These loads are uniform in size and shape. Some of the other brands I have bought tend to be bent and lose accuracy.

Very very accurate on my Hatsan 135. Shooting over 80-100 yards open sight was just awesome. Recommend for powerful Magnum air rifles and for long distances.

Need more than just 250 in a tin. Atleast 500 per tin

If you want knock down power and long distance for your magnum air rifle this is it. My Hatsan loves these heavy pellets but not so much in the Benjamin np though. A bit too heavy.

Just buy the jsb even though USB makes these there not as clean. These pellets were damaged and nearly all are deformed can't shoot them so can't give a good review. Would have pay the shipping in order to receive another tin not worth spending any more money.

Just buy the jsb!

These pellets were clean, undamaged and consistent in size and weight.

Package in a screw top pellet tin that is designed for stacking.

What others should know:In my search for "the-one" pellet that gives me the best accuracy, I measure, chronograph and calculate. This methodology works well and I highly recommend it. The following information is based on 12 shots with the Weihrauch HW90. Numbers have been rounded and the average is based on the sum of the velocity of the total number of shots. Test No.:032113-FH, Location: Indoor, Temperature: 74º, Humidity: 34%, Elevation: 183ft, Ballistic Coefficient: 0.0330, Head Diameter: 5.47 – 5.49, Skirt Diameter: 5.66 - 5.76, Pellet Length: 7.73 – 7.77, High Velocity (fps): 707, Low Velocity (fps): 697, *Average Velocity (fps): 702, Extreme Spread (fps): 10, Average Deviation (fps): 2, Standard Deviation (fps): 3, High Energy (ft-lbs): 20, Low Energy (ft-lbs): 19. With a Standard Deviation of 3 I expected these pellets to test well at the range and they did exactly that. I sighted in at 18yds using the NRA A-36 rifle target and all shots (24) were 7-10.

Excellent pellet! I new they were JSB pellets made for Air Arms, I buy these as I do jsb brand, and as any pellet you hope there dies are up to specs, if so you have one of the best pellets available! One thing is a bit confusing to me is they are a bit higher in price that JSB? I think they would be the same price for the same pellet!

power and thump

lower price and more pellets

shoots great in both rws 34 and 350 mag

very uniform, 250 pcs

the price. These pellets are very comparable to the JSB heavys but cost a little more. They don't shoot any better

bad lid on the tin but they shoot ok. I have a XL1100 Benjamin that shoots these ok but not the leader of my test in accuracy. Try shooting longer distances 20y and up

I bought these and a dozen other 22 cal pellet types searching for what my nitro venom dusk rifle might like. but it didn't like these maybe your gun would.

Very well made pellets

Not much

This pellet is softer than C.P.'s making it easy to push and load through the magazine and into barrel, seems to seal perfectly. Very accurate.l

These pellets are perfect for windy conditions. They are as consistant as the 16 gr. AA pellets which give me 3/4" MOA at 70 yds. They do drop faster but still very predictable POI.

Nothing.

These 18.13 gr.pellets are shipped in tins of 250 to preserve their shape. Air Arms pellets are accurate and consistant because their skirts are thin and soft. Any more pellets in one tin would start to crush themselves.

Very well made pellet, not a one came defective.

500 count tin would be great...

In my experience this seems to be an extremely accurate pellet out of my gun, but remember all guns are different! Do your own pellet investigation, you'll be glad you did.

I tried many pellet types before I came across these Air Arms Diabolo Field Plus. They are perfect in my .22 Remington Nitro Piston Short Stroke. Very accurate.

A box of 500 with a screw on lid would be a nice offering.

It may seem odd but you will need to try several pellet types and brands before you find which one shoots the best in your gun.

Best grouping pellet in my AA TDR!

Larger tin size, 500 count would be nice.

With my AA TDR: Single hole groups with this pellet. JSB Exact's come in a close second, just a bit more inconsistent. H&N Green Baracuda's produce acceptable groups. the regular AA Fields do ok but you'll have to discard about half the pellets. Crosman Premiers grouped terrible in this rifle.

My Marauder likes these 5.52mm pellets. These are made by JSB for Air Arms.

I wish these were offered in 5.53mm

These shoot better than the JSB 18.1gr pellet

Best performing pellet I have found in my .22 Marauder to date, and I have tried tons. Baracuda's do well, Premiers do well sometimes. These blow them away. At 25 yards from a bench, they print one perfectly round hole. I have never seen that kind of accuracy from my MROD before.

They are more expensive than JSB's, and the tins are maxed at 250. Larger packaging that would allow for better economics.
