Page 4 - Air Arms Field, .177 Reviews

This pellet is very consistent. Very few vary more than .2 of a grain than the listed weight. The head diameter is also very consistent. I use a pellet gage to check the head diameter and these pellets are either 4.51 mm or 4.52 mm.

Change nothing on the pellet design. This pellet is what my rifle is tuned for and shoots the best. The tin could have a better lid but that is very minor.

If shot to shot consistency is your goal find what diameter shoots best in your rifle. Buy the diameter that your rifle likes the best and weigh a tin or two to get an idea of the quality control the maker has on their product.

I like the shape of the pellet. Very clean and packaged quite nicely. I used these in my Remington xgp rifle and as far as I am concerned, these will be my go to pellets. Trajectory is flat and impact is very solid. At 30 yards pellet stacked on top of pellet. Moved to 60 yards and pellet was on to of pellet. Accuracy is easily achieved with these pellets; something that I cannot say of other pellet manufacturers. Squirrels and rabbits here I come!

I would change nothing about the pellet. If the tin were a screw on top or snapped together a bit more snugly, is the only thing I would change about the product.

Well made and extremely accurate.

Shipped wrapped in foam and no dents in tins or pellets.Great for brake barrel guns.

Shoot great in all of my guns.

better lid retention on the tin.

Excellent pellet, shoots better than JSB's in my FX whsiper and Crosman 1720T.
Only gripe is the lids on the tins don't have great retention so I've accidentally spilled a few.

Accuracy and consistency. After years of trying to find the perfect pellet I have settled on the Air Arms 10.3 177 pellets. They are clean and a very consistent weight from pellet to pellet in any given tin.I very rarely weigh these pellets any more. Most importantly they are accurate. Every competition rifle I own shoots these pellets well.

Nothing

Not only are they a great pellet, they are the bargain of the premium pellets.

The Air Arms 10.34 grain .177 pellet has become my "go to" pellet. Have a stock Diana 34 that never would group consistently until I tried this heavier pellet. Now I achieve consistent groupings at 30 yards. My Walther LGU also prefers this pellet.

Nothing.

One of tins I purchased was slightly dented; not sure how-the packaging showed no damage- to Pyramyd's credit I reported that about 1/4 of the 500 pellets showed some type of damage and they sent a another whole tin. Thanks-that is great customer service.

Best grade pellets available in my opinion. No defects noted.

Change to a screw on lid.

JSB pellets are very good pellets, but when I switched to Air Arms the fliers were eliminated. I shoot a BSA Scorpion SE, and 50 yard sub half inch groups are now common. The discussion over which brand is better may continue, but I will be shooting these AA 10.3 grain pellets.

After weighing and measuring the head sizes of two full tins of Air Arms 10.3 then doing the same for twol tins of JSB 10.3's I found the AA to be more consistent. I also found Air Arms averaged more pellets in the smaller head sizes. Using a pellet gauge most AA 10.3's were 4.47, 4.48 and 4.49. Majority of the JSB 10.3's were 4.48, 4.49 and 4.50. Last observation, most of the pellets weighed 10.3 - 10.4 grains in the AA tins. JSB pellets ranged between 10.3 - 10.6 grain.

Spin on lid. How much more can it possibly cost to make tins with a locking lid?

If your bore likes smaller head sizes 10.3's the AA is the way to go.

Consistently accurate in my RWS 52, R9 and HW97, Same POI as JSB Heavy 10.34, price

terrible tin.

I used a hair drier to loosen the label and then transfer it to an RWS pellet tin. Problem solve.

This pellet is loved by my Mendoza RM577! It's amazing how nice it shoots them. Tried several pellets to find the one it liked. Size, shape and weight are very consistent from pellet to pellet, I'm getting .5" groups at 20 yards. If your searching for a pellet for your rifle, give these a try.

Nothing.

Great quality pellets, they speak for themselves.

This is definitely the most consistent pellet in both my Marauder and TM 1000. Not just in the rifles themselves but also by measurement on the scales and with calipers. They shoot great right out of the tin with no additional prep. Very pleased with them.

A tin that has a secure reclosure once you have opened it.

I have to say these pellets are awesome....but the tin they come in is horrible. The lid just falls right off will not stay on for anything. I still gave this pellet all 5 stars because i based it on the pellet,and the pellet only.

For the love of god please make the lid a screw on. This pellet is far to good to put it in such a terrible container.

Shot very good out of my Stoeger x20 .177. Impressed on how well they do on critters. They seem to flatten out, and do their job well

they shoot well but not great. JSB's hold a tighter group for me. Shooting a RWS 34P

the tin, the fit on the bore.

these fit lose in my guns compared to JSB. I shoot springers and these can drop out of the barrel. JSB's are slightly more accurate and fit tight. I know there has been a buzz that theses are the same as JSB's. They are not. They are made in a different mold. I can't help but think there are really PCP pellets.

Quantity is good, clean, consistent shape.

These pellets are very clean out of the tin, consistently shaped, and sized. The only gripe I have is that these were way too loose in my Octane, and shot terribly. The pellets are marked as "4.52", but fit very loosely in my gun's breach.

This pellet review is based on my experience shooting these with a .177 Octane, so if you own the same type gun, I might suggest you not try these. The overall rating is based solely on the shooting characteristics of this pellet out of the Octane. I cannot vouch for this pellet's performance out of any other gun.

Good price and great consistency of the product

Nothing but could be cheaper

Best 177 heavy pellet for FT use there is available.

Very accurate in my rifles

A little cleaner. Accept I find so far all pellets do better washed

Same as similar weight JSB pellets

Consistent, accurate.

Screw on lid for tin.

Great accuracy in a Kalibrgun Cricket and Walther LGV Master. Shoot exactly to the same place and equally well as their JSB counterparts. Supposedly, the Air Arms and JSB 10.34 gr. pellets are made with different dies, but I don't see a difference and neither do the guns.

Screw on lid would be great.

These have proven to be very accurate in my FX's Smooth Twist barrel, at the full-on power setting, all the way out to 55 yards (field target range).

nothing

Rumor has it these are made by JSB. An examination under my 20X biological microscope shows they are remarkably similar, in fact exactly the same.

I like these better than the parent JSB heavies. Main reason is that these are in stock more often. My Cricket is laser with them.

Nothing

Haven't had a gun that didn't like these.
