FX Air Rifle, .22 Reviews

Great accuracy in all 5 of my .22 Cal. PCP air rifles. Killed a large gray fox with this pellet at 20 yards from a muzzle velocity of 870 F/S.

Lower price, but I know Pyramid Air is doing what they can to keep their prices as affordable as they can.

I tested these in my Avenger .22 against JSB and H&N several years ago at 20 to 25 yards in my backyard. The FX consistently grouped best. I used an “Eco Tune” from an Internet review; and have not changed my Avenger since. I may try upping my power as the “Eco Tune” gave me 70 shots and did not fall off the regulator. I’m not exactly ready for the ten-yard challenge; nor do I have a Chrono. So, you may have different results. Still, I have standardized on FX as my 18 grain pellet. When my friend’s new chrono arrives, if it works on pellets, I may get some better data. For now, it’s FX for my Avenger! Recently, I resumed shooting at a 100 yard indoor range. I found the FX pellets essentially on-target from 20 to 40 yards. They dropped about two inches at fifty yards. Beyond that, they were well below my 8.5” x 11” paper. I put one-inch target dots near the corners and fired standing from a Vanguard “shooting stick” tripod.

Not sure.

Worth the wait. When shooting seventy rounds from the tin, I discarded three or four pellets with bent skirts. Caveat: I recently moved; so these pellets may have bounced around a bit more than usual.

Best long range .22 pellet I've tried by far. Super clean with no lead flakes in the tins (I've gone through dozens of tins).

Nothing

I use these exclusively in my magnum springers when out hunting and I know long shots will be taken. My Diana 350, Diana 470 and Gamo Swarm Magnum laser this pellet. More accurate (in those rifles) than JSB Heavy and really not sure why because JSB makes them for FX.

Price, quality, PA packing and fast shipping, consistent accuracy. FX pellets work extremely well in my 22 Avenger and 25 Gauntlet.

Buy four or more to get the 4th free deal.

Out of my Benjamin Cayden these chrono at 980fps on full power, giving me some groups at 50 yards. I might get 1-2 flyers out of four magazines, opening the group up to 3/4”. I’ve been using these for ground squirrels and rock chucks with unbelievable accuracy. With a 12x I’m comfortable with head shots to 75 yards and center mass at 100.

Maybe a bit more padding in the tin.

Excellent product. Having a slightly larger diameter sized head greatly helped in the Benjamin Caden.

I can’t really think of anything.

If your barrel is crowned it makes a difference concerning head size of the pellet.

Quick deliveries

Consistent, Reliable, Economical

As these are made by JSB, the quality is there. My Marauder loves them!

They are good pellets.

Would like them to be cheaper.

Every bit as good as JSB.

Quality, Quality, Quality. These are my favorite and most accurate pellets in all of my rifles. Tuning the rifle to the best fps. These just lend themselves to be very accurate if you do your part.

Great pellets for the price.

I am shocked at the performance in my spring-powered Hatsan 125! Flat trajectory. Accurate. All understatements.I begrudge admitting that they amazing in THIS gun. They are above average in All my springers 17 ftlbs and up...but crazy powerful long range shooter in the 125 over 20 types brand weights. Sorry I did not buy more. I prefer heavy 20 -32.3 gr. Pellets for knockdown at close range since my guns handle them well @30 ftlbs. Now I see why guys are shooting bird eyes out to 100 yards.Right combos.

I cant figure WHY OR HOW they act like they do in this one gun!??? It boost for some reason. Look normal...but not...alloy density? What it is ...leave it alone!

It seem to hit its stride above 800 fps. My Mach 12.5 likes them also..but not crazy.

They shoot great in my tiapan Veteran. Have not shot them beyond 50 yd so YMMV

Nothing

I clean with Dawn and lube with Pledge and have had no problems.

I am shooting these from an Umarex Origin at 800-830 fps. Pellet uniformity seems better than the JSB siblings. I base this on the first 1000 shots of a 5000 round order. Accuracy is good as well, my benchmark is steel silhouette chickens at 60 yards. Consistent hits. Initially, I had a POI shift of 1/2 MOA at 50 yards when switching from JSB. Good ammo. My experience only.

Nothing to complain about. If anything, make more of it faster and get it on the ship. Its hard to imagine the world running short on pellets, yet here we are knocking on that door.

The undamaged pellets worked fine

Better packaging and handeling. This tin cam loosely wrapped in paper inside the box. I typically receive tins in the foam packaging style that you advertise on the website. I did notice these shipped from a different warehouse than usual too....

Not sure if I just got a bad tin, or if someone needed an improvised maraca for an impromptu jam session in the warehouse. About 20% of the pellet skirts were severely deformed. Those went right in the scrap bucket. Another 20% were "usable" but I don't trust the accuracy.

Everything including the size of the container

Nothing

One of the most accurate I have tested so far with my Benjamin Cayden because of the extra weight it’s a little slower than I would like but would be a good hunting round if I could bump up the muzzle velocity somehow

Lots of pellets

Shot in a scoped Diana model 34P. Pellets fit loose in the chamber. They can fall out while cocking the gun if you don't pay attention. Shot over FX chronograph - 26 fps velocity spread, average velocity 623 fps. Shoots 1 inch at 25 yards. Not accurate enough for me! These were recommended to me by Pyramyd Air sale person as a pellet that would fit tight in my gun's chamber. They do NOT and now I find out Pyramyd Air will not take back pellets. I am stuck with some expensive lead!

These are the most consistent I have found always fly the best you will not be disappointed at all

Nothing

From what I understand jsb makes these for FX but they really do seem to fly better in 25 and in 22 cal just my two cents

The idea that there was an alternative to JSB's when JSB's are out of stock.

Tin picking and consistency. The outer packaging was, as usual, excellent. The shipping box was in perfect shape and the tins were intact within the packing. The problem is that two of the tins were well dented - very visually obvious. Of course the pellets at the dent locations had mostly bent skirts. I was surprised however at the distribution of bent skirt pellets around the tin - those dents must have come from more than single blow. These tins should not have been picked, packed and sent. The consistency issue is not the fault of Pyramyd - three of the tins appear to be from one run and the fourth from another (?different mold) - their weight distribution is different due to height differences.

I'm not going to waste more time wading through this batch of pellets. They could be useful or slingshot buckshot.
