Page 6 - JSB Match Diabolo, .22 Reviews

Consistent in size, only a few bent skirts, one of the most accurate pellets that shoot good groups in my Benjamin Discovery. Crosman Hollow points 14.3 grain and these shoot very well and tight groups at 25 and 40 yards. These pellets shoot in the 825 to 840 FPS range from my stock Discovery. They also seem to shoot well with the gun filled from 2000 PSI down to 1300 PSI.

Would like to try these in a copper coated pellet.

If you are using a Benjamin Discovery 22 cal. You will have to try out many different brands and types of pellets, even though these shoot the best in my gun, your gun my like some other type or brand. So far the Crosman HP's and these pellets seem to be the best and shoot pretty much in the same POI. I have tried H&N and other JSB pellets, but they will not hold a group beyond 20 yrds. I have ordered 4 more types and will try them to see if I can find some other pellets that will shoot good, so be on the look out at some of my reviews and see what i find. Bellow is a list of what i ordered from PA to test further. 1. Crosman Premier .22 Cal, 14.3 Grains, Domed, 500ct, 0.220 cal., 500, 14.3 grains. 2. Beeman FTS Copper Plated .22 Cal, 14.72 Grains, Domed, 200ct, 0.220 cal., 200, 14.72 grains. 3. JSB Match Diabolo Exact Jumbo RS .22 Cal, 13.43 Grains, Domed, 500ct, 0.220 cal., 500, 13.43 grains. 4. Beeman ECO Kodiak .22 Cal, 12.65 Grains, Domed, Lead-Free, 200ct, 0.220 cal., 200, 12.65 grains .

Very accurate in both my RWS 48 and RWS 54. A clean, pure lead pellet that fits snugly but not difficult at all to load . Pyramyd packs their pellet tins in foam cribs when shipping, which is outstanding quality assurance, provided of course the OEM does their part.

Fewer damaged pellet skirts. Without lots being 100% defect free, JSB has the opportunity for tighter specifications/sampling and inspection in its manufacturing process, particularly between pellet casting and sorting. Skirts do not get bent inside their tins. Damage occurs before/as they are packed. They should be working to constantly improve their processes and control protocols.

Quality control is fair relative to competitively sized and priced pellets. I received two- 250 ct. tins, with a combined defect count of 18 defective pellets (bent skirts). In the quality arena, that defect count equates to a short term Six Sigma quality level of 3.3 They should be able to deliver much better. As an aside, I routinely transfer pellets from their tins to the plastic containers I have left over that held rolls of 3-M electrical tape. The plastic is soft on the pellet skirts, and there is no rattle when I tuck a smaller quantity of pellets and their new container in my hip pocket. Also easy to open/close. To me it’s odd why manufacturers don’t use plastic containers in the first place.

Good consistency in weight, and, shape. I found two pellets (out of 250) with slightly dented skirts. This was easily fixed by using a ball point pen to stretch them back into shape. Pellets are consistently accurate, time, and, time again. Tree rats don't stand a chance when hit center mass with these pellets. I've seen them knock tree rats right off their perches. Excellent retained energy downrange.

Cheaper price, and, screw on lid, of course! The lid is the only weak link in this product. It falls off easily if you don't put an indent in the side of the lid.

Expect these pellets to completely pass through when shooting small game. These things blow through tree rats like nobody's business. Additionally, they are plenty accurate enough to suit anybody's needs.

Shoots nicely in all regards from my RWS 350 Magnum P. Went through 1" redwood back stop from 10 yards. Clean through. No shredding. Very accurate.

Shape consistency is not as good as the Beeman pellets.

This pellet works well in my RWS 350 Magnum P.

Very consistant and well liked by my Maraurder. Only a few damaged.

Egg shaped pading would possibly help with the few damage.

Accurate and hard hitting

Nothing !!

My Benjamin Genesis seems to favor a heavier pellet, and these fill the bill, nickle size groups off hand at 25 yards with minimal effort is routine now after most of one tin used Just ordered 2 more tins to stock up!!!

I've tried several different pellets in my HW 97k, but these and their little brother (JSB Exact ) seem made for the gun. The Heavies give me dime-sized groups at 25 yd if I do my part. Look forward to using these for pest control.

Screw-top can! Rather "dusty."

consistent accuracy, one hole groups at 50 yds. are the norm with this pellet in my Huntsman.

screw top lid would be nice

this is the best all around pellet I have come across. Seems to shoot well in all my guns.

Very consistent in shape and weight. The skirts are very uniform as well and a nice slight resistance in the load port of my rifle.

SCREW TOP LIDS JSB!

Very consistent. I have seen some disturbing QC issues lately with JSB pellets and from friends but these so far have been spot on. I am using these currently in my Diana 56TH hoping they will group like the Air Arms 18 grain pellets I am currently using in this rifle since they are slightly cheaper and come in a 500 count.

Uniform pellets. Good penetration. Accurate.

Screw top container. More pellets per can.

Good plinking pellet.

These pellets are phenomenal. The most accurate pellet in my disco and talon ss. I've tried more then a dozen kinds of pellets and these are hands down the best for me.

Screw top lid

Pellets are very consistent and shoot extremely well. If you're having a hard time finding an accurate pellet for your air gun I'd suggest buying a tin of these.

Very accurate in all my guns. A go to pellet anyday.

Nothing

This is my number one pellet of choice now.

incredibly consistent, accurate, hard hitting able to punch through 5/8" pine board at 80 yards.

color them metallic red they deserve the distinction.

Prepare for an excellent experience in accuracy, performance at all ranges. you will be amazed.

These jsb match 18.13 22cal. pellets are the only pellets I'm going to use in my benjamin np1100xl rifle. I tried alot of different pellets, and these are by far the most accurate and have excellent penetration and are a breeze to load. They are pricey but you get what you pay for if you want to be very accurate.

Very consistent pellet shape and size. Upon measuring three tins, the spread in head size was only .03mm The diameters ranged from 5.49-5.51mm. Very consistent!

Offer different head sizes.

Clean, decent weight, and very well made. Great fit in my Talon SS breach.

Nothing

These are ultra accurate out of my Talon SS. I shoot these out to 100 yards with no issues. I am very happy with this pellet and recommend these to anyone to give a try. These are straight shooting hard hitting pellets. I love them

They have been consistent from tin to tin

Screw on lid

These were the most accurate in my .22 Maurader out of at least 10 other pellets tested

Excellent weight and accuracy at distances from 5 to 55 yards. Wind resistance in a moderate 10knot breeze is very good out to 40 yards from my RWS 350, after which there is measurable deviation at 45, 50 and 60 yds. This is a good choice for shooting dimes at any range out to 50 yards.

As others have said the tin. A screw or lockable tin would be preferred. Also, heavier gauge container to prevent accidental denting of the tin and pellets contained within.

Check skirts, while an excellent pellet, if the skirt is damaged accuracy is highly questionable; and these pellets have a thin and somewhat fragile skirt.

Perform very well in my Marauder .22. Better accuracy, and increased knockdown power on small game.

These pellets are good just like they are.

Pyramid air takes GREAT pains to get these pellets to you in good shape. The packaging is very padded to prevent deformation during shipping.

These pellets are very consistent in shape and size. In my pcp rifle these grouped the tightest in my testing. Not every rifle will be like mine but they shoot well in most of mine.

Tin design please! No more tape lids!!!

Retains energy better than light weight pellets down range. Pellet fussy guns might do very well with this pellet.
