Page 2 - JSB Diabolo Exact, .25 Reviews

JSB quality. PA packaging. Accurate.

These work great in my Hatsan 155 bolt action, very accurate. On my Hatsan 135 i have to press them in cause the skirt wants to stick out a little and when you close the breach it can dent the skirt. But if you press it in w/ sumpn there fine. Just as accurate as w/ my 155. W/ a 30fpe rifle its a short range pellet, although accurate at longer ranges the trajectory comes into play. Great in the barn on possums & coons, one shot head kills at 15 feet. The weight keeps the noise down a tad.

big, heavy, nice feel

nothing

it worked ok in my hatsan mod 125 sniper vortex .25. nothing to brag about but I wont put a bad review or ratings bc I see the potential it has

Everything

Nothing

Used these in my Hatsan Vortex 125 Sniper. The fit was excellent and accuracy was great and they really hit hard, any pray is just out of the game.

They are all uniform no damaged skirts. I love the foam discs top and bottom added to the tin. My marauder loves these. I am shooting them at an average 750fps and they will stack at 30yrds and open up to dime sized groups at 50 and are quarter sized at 65.

Bring the price down!

These cycle perfect in the 2nd gen maurader 25 cal.

are a good pleasant pellets for hunting

should not change anything

these are really made for all rifles Hatsan Use them and you will not regret

First off, I shoot these out of a Sumatra carbine in .25 caliber so my comments are geared toward that gun. Most accurate pellet out of about a dozen I've tried out of the Sumatra. Some people complain that they're tight fitting but that seems to be what this gun likes. Took out a groundhog with a heart/lung shot at 60 yards. One shot, one quick, clean kill. This is now the only pellet I use in this gun.

Nothing

If you use a Sumarea carbine at high power this is the pellet for you.

These fit in the magazine of marauder just fine. As usual the packing is great also. I have shot about 60 shots and they are all grouping at about 1/2in @ 60yrds

nothing

What more can be said about the JSB Diabolo I shoot them in all my guns one of the most consistent pellets out there!

Everything. The best a pellet can get.

Nothing

Nice weight and consistency.

Reduce the skirt width to match the 25.4s.

They group well in my springers, but they all grouped to the right in my 3 guns. I suspect this is due to the pellet being in the barrel longer, so recoil can mess up your shots. I would recommend them in break barrels with short barrels. They hit like a hammer in break barrels. But, I keep the shots to 35 yards and below. Also, Im sure they would perform better if skirt was a little smaller and best if used in a shorter barreled breaker.

Like all JSB pellets, the quality is excellent. I shot it in my BSA Scorpion, and the accuracy is almost as good as the 25.39 grain pellet, and about 100 fps slower due to the higher weight. For a high powered PCP, this pellet will be very good at longer ranges.

No complaints. JSB mentioned that they may offer a lighter weight .25 caliber pellet. It would round out the 25 caliber line of pellets.

The skirt is larger in diameter than the 25.39 grain pellet, and may be sticky in a magazine, or may chamber with slightly more friction. My BSA may like the 25.39 grain pellets better due to the smaller skirt. I will try out the MKII which has a smaller skirt.

JSB quality is fantastic, every pellet was uniform with none damaged in shipping, I did not clean or lube the pellets - I wanted to see how they performed "out of the box". They performed very well, very similar speeds to H and N barracuda 31.2 gr with noticeably more knockdown. I really thought that a springer could only handle the 31.2 gr H+N's as an upper weight limit, but I was stunned at how fast these JSB's are out of the same gun, they bore a drill-like hole through 1" fir and put a heckuva dent in the 2x4 backboard I was using. Good work JSB!!

Oh gosh, ummm way more production? A few different shapes pointed, HP and the and perhaps push the upper limit as piston guns start to come into their own like a 36 gr dome, pointed and/or HP.

JSB apparently can't answer the demand, so when the 300 count tins are available, buy 'em up -- after I do, I mean.

JSB Have always paid attention to quality control. While waiting to go shoot my .25cal I've been jonesing to try them out. All I hear are good things.

Grt the 300 pellet tins in

Half inch group at fifty yard out of my ss condor

Established JSB quality. These shoot better than Kings from my bottled, Gen1 Marauder. Best accuracy found to be at 950-960 fps.

Go heavier still

These pellets will need a capable power plant to move them quickly.

These are very uniform and clean & seem to be very accurate. I received 4 tins of these as a gift and have only used 1 of those tins and my rifle is a Hatsan 125 vortex sniper and i have used a few different pellets & what you should know about these is i had to seat every pellet and this is i think meant to be done with these and this can be seen as positive or negative. These are heavy hitting and i wanted them for max FPE in my rifle for hunting and while they do deliver in this respect I am not sure i will use these as a pellet of choice for hunting as i dislike having to seat each pellet, but they might well be the most accurate hunting pellet on the market.

Though i understand the need for a pellet like this, but i would like to have a version that had a more standard skirt diameter and did not require seating.

You will likely have to seat every pellet if my gun is any indication and it takes a bit of force and it is not something i like doing, but this pellet seems to be designed very well for this as the trailing edge of the skirt is thinner than the rest of the skirt. If you have a gun that has what you think is a loose bore this is the pellet you have been waiting for as this pellet i am sure would transform such a rifle into a semi accurate hunting rifle at the very least. I have used H&N barracuda, barracuda hunter, crow mags, Benjamin round nose and even a couple of Gamo raptors [yuck] and these are the only pellets i have used that have required seating. Some people seat every pellet and to them this might be no big deal. I don't know perhaps by the time i use the other 3 tins I will get to where i don't find seating each pellet tedious, but i think i will stick with Barracudas as my go to pellet.
