Page 3 - Air Arms Falcon, .22 Reviews

Grouped reasonably well with Crosman 1322 and Crosman 2289 with 5 pumps (At ten my group sizes tripled).

Loose fitting in Crosman 1322, 2289 and Benjamin Trail NP rifle. I would look to sizing the pellet larger.

Lowest measured FPE with my Benjamin Trail NP rifle; 13.4 FPE. I expected > 17. I found this to be the least accurate pellet tested yet in my Benjamin Trail NP rifle. With the Crosman pistols (1322 and 2289) this is as accurate as the Daisy Precision Max pointed pellets (3/16 CTC at 20-feet).

A basic, well engineered pellet.

Price, i would purchase theese again if they were equal or less than the competition.

For my gun, a break barrel 800/950 FPS .22, I did find out that a heavier (18 grain) pellet works best all around.

'Appears' to be high quality ammo. Clean and consistent. They don't shoot well in my Benj. Marauder and I don't know why. Perhaps the very thick skirt won't expand into the rifling.

Nothing.

Why don't these shoot good in my M-Rod?

Awesome pellets. Very consistent, nice quality.

The tin. I'd prefer to see a screw on lid.

Very good quality pellet at a good price and quantity. Definitely recommend!

AA Falcons are well made and uniform pellets. The Thinner skirts catch the barrel rifling very well.

JSB makes these pellets for AA so the quality you expect is in this product.

well i got theses pellets in .22 cal for my benjamin marauder an im getting 1/2 groups at 50 yard. They are the most accurate in my M-rod so far. Also they hit hard for a light pellet

find a better tin set up. Some of the skirts where bent. I think thats more from shipping then anything.

just look out for the bent skirts if you are going to hunt with these pellet. most of the bent ones are flyers

These pellets work well in both my springer and gas spring rifles. They do will for me @ 25 yds, averaging .75" groups and open up a bit @ 35 yds to 1" groups.

Package them with a screw on lid.

A good universal pellet, works well in all the springers CO2 and PCP rifles that are appropriate for this light weight. The skirt is thinner than most and I suspect it engages the rifling better when flared by the shot.

Screw top lid's

A better buy than JSB's own branded pellets and the quality is as good or better judging by eye and use.

Maybe I got a great tin of these, but they have been the best out of a dozen different pellets so far -- All the crossman/benjamins, H&N 12.6gr, Gamo 13.4, Daisy pointed, JSB exact, really old but clean and light copperheads from the 70's (have some in .177 too), rws hobby 11.9, and these. Great price!

Tin is fragile AND has a friction lid. Whats up with that y'all? They refuse to jump into the gun and load themselves.

Skirts are thin and wouldn't survive in a pellet pouch for long. A little louder than all others mentioned above. Pellet pen/seat may be advised depending on your dexterity and type of weapon. I will buy them from PA again.

these pellets shoot good. really good. they have a very nice air pocket that goes deep. they have a very thin skirt right at the end. they feel soft to the touch and seat very well. they shoot like a precision pellet should, consistantly. they are very uniform.

nothing.

after shooting eveything else, i probably will not be shooting anything else but air arms falcons. done. over. but em. shoot em.

Very accurate out of my TF 97 (.22 cal). Dime size groups at 15 yds. Pellets are clean, and the skirts are in perfect condition.

Nothing

These are the 5.52mm head size. I tried the H&N FTT .22 cal 5.53mm head and got really amazing groups as well. Give a try to different pellet head sizes and see what works best

Uniform and fit good. Clean. 500 to a tin.

So far, nothing

I shot these through my Titan GP with GRTII trigger and 3-9-40 Centerpoint scope. Grouped actually better than the CPHP;s @ 20yds and 30yds. But I'm on my 3rd tin in this new rifle so I'm trying different flavors of pellets. But so far I like the quality better than the last batch of CPHP I bought. Please allow the fact I haven't picked up a ar in 5 years so I'm a little rusty.

I had been using the .22 H&N FTT (Beeman FTS) pells in my .22 Weihrach HW80k as the FTT are highly recommended. The FTT shot well, but I have found my HW80k likes the AA Falcon 13.43 gr domes (re-badged JSB's) better, getting groups of about 50 percent smaller at ranges from mid to long (about 40 to 80 yds which is as far as I generally trajectory plot).

A Beeman pellseat or at least a ball point pen is a good field accessory as these JSB pells are soft lead (good for hunting as mushroom upon impact better) but have thin skirts. The thin skirts are easily deformed without careful handling, but once seated in the breech the deformed skirts are easily reformed with gentle pressure of the pen. r.hamilton

Accuracy, accuracy, accuracy

Not a thing

1/2" groups at 20 yds using a Titan Nitro with GRTIII trigger and CenterPoint 4-16x40 scope. I have shot ~100 of these pellets and don't see an issue with size/shape but have not mic'd them. Excellent pellet in this rifle for a good price.

These are the same pellet as the JSB RS 13.43 grain for less money

Nothing

Nothing. The tins had led particles in them that I assume caused by a bad die they used to make them. The quality of this pellet is nowhere near JSB RS. I should have known because they were cheaper they would also be inferior.

Manufacture.

Beware of cheaper priced pellets. The old saying you get what you pay for is true. I am also surprised that Air Arms would put their name on a product that could make their airguns to shoot inaccurately.

Just about everything, including accuracy. Others have mentioned or complained that the skirts are too thing and subject to bending, some have said they got deformed pellets. Mine were 100% fine, and I handled them like any other pellet.

GREAT improvement in accuracy, even better than my poly preds.

I have a chronograph and have accumulated data and measured the downrange performance on dozens of pellets. These pellets have the highest retained downrange velocity of all the pellets I have tested. They also have a very consistent point of impact in all 12 guns I have shot them in.

I would love to get them at a lower price. The tin is also large and does not fit well in a standard pocket. It does have a secure lid however.

Muzzle velocities in a Benjamin NP-1100 were surprisingly low but the high retained velocity allowed them to catch up at 30 yards and they increase the advantage from there. However, they do not have the energy of the mid-weight pellets due to their lighter weight and lower initial velocity. In guns of lower power (Muzzle velocity at 700fps to 350fps) they started off lower than expected but slightly faster than the standard weight pellets but once again had lower energy and penetration. They are not my first choice in a hunting pellet for squirrels but do yield excellent accuracy and downrange velocity for long range target shooting.

hard hitting pellet , good value for the price ,

make them fit the barrel a little better

good pellet for birds , fast , hard hitting , good price for the count

NIce clean pellet. I like that I can buy them in 500 tins for .22. Slightly lighter than stad weight SHOULD make them a good choice for most mid power .22 springers.

Skirt is very thin and deforms easily. Screw top lid.

I'm very disapointed in the pellet. In comparison to the other pellets I've tried,At 13.43 gr, this SHOULD be right in the 725 fps ( sweet spot) range out of my NP Trail. In reality they consistantly shoot at just over 620fps. ( Thats at least 65 fps slower than ANY 14.3gr pellet I've tried and a full 120fps slower than the 12.6gr silver bear!) I can only guess air is blowing buy the flimsy skirt. Not even sure these are tin can worthy :-(
