Page 2 - JSB Diabolo Exact, .20 Reviews

these were freebys from the sale of a blue streak now I know why kant hit the braud side of a barn if your standing inside flyers every 3rd or 4th one the ones that were on paper were fairly good3/4 to1 in at 30 yrds leaning on doorjam

again make them in graduated sizes like h&n 's trophy's are

my weirouch 97 k loves them but you have to seat them

Very accurate in my Beeman R7, great for target shooting and dispatching blackbirds, squirrels, crows and chipmunks.

A screw top can might be only possible improvement.

Bought about 8000 of these thru the years, Pyramid Air is a fine company to do business with.

Wonderful pellet! JSB quality in a .20 cal pellet. Very accurate in my Sheridan Bluestreak, as are the H&N Barracudas. Thank you JSB for making a high quality .20 cal pellet!

I may be getting picky, but I really hate these "snap" type tins. Make some "screw top" tins already!!

If you have just recently got a .20 cal airgun, I suggest you start with this pellet. It just possibly will be the best!

These seem to be the best pellet overall for my AirForce Talon SS. Although I did have a tin of the HN Barracuda that were holding a LOT smaller grouping at 75 + yards.

Maybe nothing?

These are the most consistent shooting pellets I have found. Tin after tin. That's not to say you might not stumble upon a tin of seemingly "magic" pellets that out perform these but very seldom.

I have found that JSB Exacts to be the most consistent pellet in giving the best groups from every one of my rifles and pistol. These .20 pellets will put a sub-dime group at 25 yds with my R-10.

The most accurate pellet I've tried (and I've tried lots of brands) in my Sheridans. Great, accuracy, price, and delivery from PyramydAir.

Screw top lid.

After you've tried all the other brands give these a try and I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

This is the most accurate pellet (and I've tried many brands) in my Sheridans. Great accuracy, price, and delivery from PyramydAir.

After you've tried all other brands in your airgun, give these a try and I think you will be pleasantly surprised.

Very accurate, very accurate, very accurate. Price is what you should expect , or less than what you should expect for high quality pellets in a caliber other than .177. Effective hunting pellet.

Having every gun shop in America stock them.

When Sheridan created their .20 cal./5 mm air rifles, one result was that instead of low quality .177 or .22 pellets, shooters had to purchase Sheridan's own produced pellets, which allowed Sheridan to control the quality of their product. For years no American pellet producer rose to the challenge of improving the quality of their pellets. This all changed when Crosman introduced the 'numbered die' produced, cardboard box packed Premier pellets, which gave us very high quality, very accurate, American made pellets in .20 cal/5 mm, that often out-shot even the best European pellets available. All that ended when Crosman stopped production of those pellets without so much as a 'By your leave!' At the time I was shooting Hunter class Field Target with a Sheridan (yes, I am crazy), so what to do for accurate pellets? The answer for accurate, quality pellets in .20 cal./ 5 mm has been JSB Exact domed pellets for target, hunting, of just plinking!

Accurate and exact just as the name says.

Can't think of anything.

These shoot better than any other pellet in my R9. They weigh consistently 13.73 gr and hit in the same hole if I do my part. Predator Polymags are the only other pellet to shoot as well and I have tried them all. These are my go-to pellet for all around shooting considering price and function. Never without them.

Fantastic accuracy, best of all pellets tested.

price in 20 cal. is very high.

Pyramydair has been very helpful each time I called with questions about pellets or parts to rebuild my air gun.

The time it took to receive my order after I placed the order was a little long or perhaps I'm used to Amazon's delivery schedule. Anything over a week is annoying.

I'll be recontacting this company for future air gun needs

These .20 cal pellets seem to be very accurate out to 15-20 yards in my Beeman R7.

Nothing

I will add what other Beeman owners seem to find with the EXACT .20 Diabolo , that they perform very well in most rifles and are consistent in shot groupings.

Nice, inexpensive, accurate ammo.

Nothing.

Best deal in town from Pyramid Air.

When we moved to the country 3 years ago we found our property overrun with gophers, so I dusted off my '66 Sheridan Blue Streak (that I bought new) and went hunting. I was pleasantly surprised at the advancements that have been made in pellets since the old days. These JSB's perform extremely well in my old gun. They are accurate and hard hitting. They all seem to be uniformly well made. I had to site in my scope again because they were shooting high, which leads me to believe that I am getting more velocity than I did with the old Benjamin Diabolos I was using. I like the weight for hunting. With 500 in the tin, this is a good deal for the price.

Nothing.

Just check how your gun is shooting if you change pellets. Different pellets perform differently in different guns.

these czech pellets make all my sheridans into american superhero guns.....i've tried all the old sheridan and beeman pellets in various sheridan rifles. i honestly dont know how we did it back then (when getting quality pellets was harder)......but not only are these jsb's the highest quality 5mm , pyramyd makes them cheaper, too....... i also like that these 13.7 gr exacts are comparable to the .22 jsb lites (air arms falcon pellet) at 13.5 grains......so i compare a lot with .22.........

other than this pellet being a little heavier than that 12 grain area that most suits the .20 bore......nothing....perfect pellet. in fact, this is the one particular jsb pellet that doesnt loose velocity when launched from more powerful springers. the .22 jsb skirts dont seem to hold back the slower explosion of air from spring piston. co2, pumper, pcp rifles love all jsb's...... but this 5mm exact has a little more lead in the skirt area, making it sturdier for us piston guys ..... and it's cheap - $13.00 / 500 well packaged highest quality .20 cal pellets.........i still dunno how the american 5mm pellets kept things alive here......i tried the 1980 cylinders thinking they were better than these current .20 benjamin pellets scarcely available now...but they did worse from my 1970's bluestreaks. - they sell for $17 / 500 and are ok from a lother walther match barrel, which is choked for 2" at muzzle.....most anything should good through those barrels......

..........but sheridan barrels are different. brass - not steel. before they merged and later got into crosman corp around 1990, the benjis and sheridans were quite a bit different. i have been on a 2 year quest now to find a .22 benjamin pumper that is as accurate as my bluestreaks. all 3 of my bluestreaks shoot dime size hole at 45 yards using jsb's and a 7x scout/pistol scope mounted up on barrel. my steroid leaves one ragged hole at 40 yards on 8 pumps (580 fps on 5 pumps - 800 fps on 14 pumps).

.20 cal ... Huh, such is love of a near dead caliber. These pellets shoot GREAT in those heirloom Sheridans exceeding the original barrel / point shape made originally for these guns while also exceeding accuracy of the now obsolete Crosman pellet. Am lucky to also have a custom Daystate MK-3 in .20 cal that shoots the JSB's stellar !!! Do you part & at @ 30 yards hole in hole in hole making at most a .25 hole after 10 shots. Quality is JSB at it's best with these and awful glad we can still get a quality pellet for the .20 caliber !!

Nothing ....

Soft lead ... if the distributor, shipper and handling in general has been gentle you will have tins of 500 match grade pellets !!
If tins get handled badly & knocked around you will have damages ... soft lead and thin skirts make these pellets fairly fragile IMO.

Very accurate thru .20 cal Beeman R1 with Vortek high power kit. .50-.75 inch group at 35 yards. 50 yard Campbell soup can full of water it goes thru without the can moving but water shooting straight up. The pellet expands about 25%. Fits tight in bore

Provide a heavier version.

This .20 caliber pellet is the best of all .20 caliber pellets I have used, and I have tested 16 of this caliber measuring accuracy from 6 different rifles (2 Beeman R-9's; 2 Sheridan Blue Streaks; a Sheridan FB-9 CO2 rifle; a Crosman Model 2100 modified to .20 caliber;) and a Sheridan E-20 CO2 pistol. It was the most accurate pellet of 16 in every one of these guns. It also had the highest percentage of retained velocity downrange as measured by comparing chronograph readings at the muzzle and again at 20 yards.These pellets are well formed, well designed and well protected in this large tin with padding above and below.

If I did not have smaller screw on lids to transfer these in for field carry, I would advise such. However, being that these pellets are so well protected by the container they arrive in, I will not complain other than to say the tin is too large for pocket carry. The lid is secure even though it is not a screw type lid.

Take advantage of the buy 3 and get a 4th tin free if you shoot a lot of .20 caliber pellets. The selection in this caliber is not what it once was and in the past few years several of the pellets I have are no longer being made. Thanks to JSB for supplying the best. I have stocked up just in case.

Awesome pellet. Very acurate in my R1 in .20 cal.

Nothing

Fine quality good price

Nada

Fine product after almost thousand rounds. Haven't seen a bad pellet. Amazing accuracy and ballistics. Can't wait to get more. Only mistake I made was only getting two, not seeing buy three and get one free from pyramid. Shipping was super fast. Ordering more asap!!!
