FX Air Rifle, .22 Reviews

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.

Being retired means I have extra time. I received my FX pellets today, and I haven't shot them yet (too windy) but I did some measuring. First, the storage container is larger than other manufacturers, which means the pellets have more room and fewer crushed skirts. I did the measuring of the tin, and found the FX tin is larger: Lower section width is 3.6755", Height 0.9395", inside height is .8710" versus another popular brand that measures width 3.4690", height is .9295", and inside height is .8615". FX upper tin is 3.6915", height is .4475" and inside height is .4915" versus other company width 3.6905", height .4455" and inside height .4480". This means more room for the pellets and less damage. I counted a tin of pellets and found 508 pellets, none crushed. Then weighed them, 60% weighed 18.1 gr, 18% weighed 18.0 gr, 16% weighed 18.2 gr, and 6% weigh 18.3 gr. Average weight is 18.11gr. Next couple of days are forecasting wind, so I'll have to wait to shoot them for accuracy

Nothing, if they shoot as good as the other company, I sold. Maybe a larger quantity because shooting PCP means you can burn up a lot of pellets.

For the powder burners, and reloaders. Ammunition is non-existent, or too damn expensive to purchase and burn at the range. Components for reloaders is likewise, non-existent. You can get good trigger time in, and in your backyard, and have a heck of a lot of fun. I would suggest buy the best rifle you can from the start. I have two springs that are collecting dust. One doesn't shoot well and the other shoots pretty good, but nothing like a PCP. When you buy your pellets, buy four tins, because the fourth tin is free. These pellets cost less than $.03 each to shoot.

Super accurate!! Sub MOA on my Gamo Coyote, whereas cheap walmart pellets shot a horrible 4MOA at just 25 yards!! Stay away from cheap ammo!!

Nothing, but perhaps offer a super heavy hunting version

Buy with confidence and stay away from cheap ammo!!

Consistent pellet size. They have a very smooth feel to them and group consistently tighter than any other pellet I've tried.

They are pricey, but the quality is excellent.

Good looking pellets they shoot great out of my Hatsan flash

Try these you will like them, I like them better than jsb

Accuracy

nothing

Just as good as JBL

Very consistent. Premium quality. Extremely accurate in FX Crown, Umarex Gauntlet and Benjamin Marauder. These FX pellets are made by JSB.......and they do indeed replicate the exact same quality standards (and QC) of both FX & JSB.....combined.

I merely wish JSB (or FX) would create a stubby heavy pellet. These JSB/FX pellets are long!!!! ((( I call them: pencil-length! )))

With this (long) JSB/FX planform...... do not exceed 890-FPS. In-flight instability/destabilization will (most probably) ensue.

These pellets are very uniform and consistent in skirt size ad weight. VERY ACCURATE in my Hw100.

Nothing

Can't beat them.
