Page 7 - Air Arms Field, .25 Reviews

Pellets function through the Marauder but due to many having bent skirts, did not freely drop into the Marauder magazine. However they seem to shoot just fine. For the slight difference in price. I will stick with the JSB Kings.

Better quality control at factory.

Very similar to the JSB Kings in the same caliber. Great uniform shape and no bent skirts that I could find. Very clean pellets exactly like the JSB Kings. The can is padded with foam both on the bottom as well as on top to prevent pellet damage.

A screw-on lid would be nice.

If you're looking for a slightly cheaper alternative to the JSB Kings in 25 cal, get these as they are almost identical. I shoot them out of a Benjamin Marauder with excellent results!

Value

Nothing

Good pellet

These and JSB are my favorite. I know that the .22 version of this pellet isn't that big of a hit, but trust me.... 23 5 star reviews, and 1 four star review can't be wrong. In my Hatsan 135 Vortex, the *only* pellet that outperformed these was the JSB 25.39. All others fell utterly short, including H&N Field Target Trophy, H&N Barracuda, and H&N Barracuda Hunter.

Nothing! I'd only suggest that air Arms maintains the top-notch quality that these pellets represent. I love them!

My groupings with JSB were only because I'd been breaking in my air rifle and shooting them all day. Whenever I change to a different pellet, I notice that the first shot is always a little off. My first shot with these was right on target, in fact, these had less drop than JSBs. My second shot was right on target again. H&N's third through fifth shots were all good, but they had some fliers. These had no fliers. Period. All 5 shot within a quarter group, 3 of which were practically stacked on top of each other. JSB stacked a little better with a slightly tighter group, but remember..... my JSB stack wasn't just out of the blue. The stack with these was.

Very good all-around pellet for general-purpose shooting. Accurate, hard-hitting, and fairly economical, as .25 pellets go.

These are good to go, as is.

If you shoot at tin cans, make sure you have plenty of them. These pellets really tear them up.

Great accuracy in my marauder

Nothing

Try these . Best I've found

Well made. They work very well in my Benjamin Marauder and are quite accurate at 25 yards.

Nothing

When PA is out of JSBs this product is almost as good.

Pretty good.

I clean my rifle after using these. They seem to build up lead in barrel after a few hundred shots.

Same as JSB pellets, very nice grouping from 20-100+yards with .25cal AF Condor SS.

N/A

These are real shooters. Like that they are a little less $$$$. I already spend WAY more on amo to keep my gun happy.

High quality, heavy .25 Cal domed pellets at $1 less per tin.

Nothing.

Awesome performance at an awesome price. Buy 4 and get one free!

Cheaper than JSB's. Shoot just as well from my Condor.

Nothing

If you like JSB's will probably like these just as well for a little less money. In 25 caliber.

These pellets are very accurate in my Benjamin Marauder, nearly as accurate as the JSB Exact Kings. Very good pellets, and the 350 count tin is a plus for them as well. One of the best.

I would probably change the formulation of the lead to duplicate what is found in the JSB Exact Kings.

JSB makes these pellets for Air Arms. They are essentially the same thing as JSB Exact Kings, except that the lead formulation has been changed slightly to conform to Air Arms' specification. In my Marauder, groups are nearly identical to JSB Exact Kings. I buy the JSBs, but if they are out of stock I would have no problem substituting the Air Arms pellets.

Excellent pellet. Excellent accuracy.

Nothing

A go to pellet.
Will always have this pellet on hand.

JSB pellet in different label. Found no difference at all.

Nothing

Excellent pellet for the 25.
I shoot these out of my Edgun R3 Matador 25 Long at 915fps with stable flight out to 200 yds.

Weights are consistent; head diameter are very consistent.

Screw top lids as usual on any pellet tin.

I bought a tin out of curiosity as a replacement for the hard to get every so often JSB Exact Kings. These are identical folks and have heard JSB makes them for AA. But the proof is in the pudding they say. So I set up a 35 yard target and benched the M-Rod and took 8 shots per target. CTC measurements were .44" best and one ragged hole to a .74" and same. I think the 2nd group I got lazy and it could have been smaller. All in all these are same if not better and if you shoot JSB Kings as your go to pellet and are finding them hard to get go to AA and pick these up!

Uniformity consistancy not one bent skirt in about 1000 pellets .work great in my marauder

Price of course We all would rather pay about 12.00 bucks for a can of pellets.

I hear a lot of people talking about these and other pellet cans not having screw on lids.
Look in the candy section of your store. There are many candy containers with a flip open lid like a tic tac container for example that fit great in your pocket and provide pellet protection for in the field .I mount some small homemade foam blocks ono top of my scope ring with Velcro to hold about 8 pellets Instead of a large capacity pellet holder because it seems like some of the skirts always get bent just from normal handling before they get used.hunting is usually never so fast and furious that you instant access to 40 pellets wrapped around your scope or
stock.or if you have a rotary mag such as a marauder carry three and then load undamaged pellets out of the candy containers. I came to this way of doing things because I used to shoot jsb exact RS 13.43 grn out of a couple discos I had with magical results. , but anyone that uses RS's knows how thin the skirts are These i think are made by jsb although they are 25 and stouter they still
can get bent and make you miss that squirrel or crowthat youve been waiting all day for. Try the tic tact containersit works well.

Consistent weights; head diameter size; and design.

Screw top lid!

I bought these to try out as a replacement for the hard to get JSB Exact Kings in same size and weights. I shot these from my Benjamin Marauder which is tuned to shoot this pellet weight at roughly 810 fps give or take. I charged the gun to 2800 psi begin pressure and loaded 4 magazines. I was able to shoot CTC 1st 8 groupings of .44" all touching and in fact one large .44" hole. After a few clicks in elevation and horizontal I shot a 2nd 8 groupings of .50" all touching as well. This was all done at 35 yards benched utilizing the guns bi-pod. I shot two more 8 shot groupings and was able to get a .79" CTC all touching as well and the 4th 8 shot grouping was .99" CTC and the last shot was the reason the group was not 3/4" or better. I think the air fell off enough on that 32nd shot to negate the group. If you are looking for an exact replacement for the hard to get JSB Kings this is the pellet you want. In fact I hear JSB makes them for Air Arms so there you go. Same price and count so you cannot go wrong with these.

These are typically in-stock whereas the JSB Exact Kings are often out of stock. These are the exact same pellets... just in a different tin.

Nothing. These seem to be the big winners in all of my 25 caliber rifles: Marauder, Condor, Matador

These are the exact same pellets as JSB Exact Kings... just in a different tin.

Accurate and similarly shaped to JSB Exact, At 35 yards my Benjamin Marauder .25 consistently placed pellets in a nickel sized grouping.

Make a 500 count unit, nothing else should be changed!

Very similar to JSB Exact, These should perform excellently in most .25 air guns! My Hatsan 125 Sniper and Marauder are both precise with Air Arms field. Happy shooting!
