JSB Match Diabolo, .22 Reviews

Excellent pellet decent mid-weight,and the quality of the pellets

Pellets are accurate. Pellets arrived in a well padded package. I could see no damage to the pellets.

I use these in a hatsan 125. The gun is accurate, but extremely hold sensitive. If you have trouble with accuracy, keep trying different holds.

My most consistent pellet of choice. Works with all my air rifles. Glad these come in tins of 500, especially using semi-auto rifles.

I would still like to see the price drop. I get the buy 3 get 1 free but fees and shipping brings total cost right back up.

I purchase in .22 caliber at 18.13 grains and I don't know of any other value options out there at this pellet weight and tin size.

the undamaged ones shoot great

try to get quality control to reject the damage ones

if ordered from pymird air they come in foam protection packages to try and prevent damages but they are extremely soft lead so hopefully the delivery services handle with care

Thru my Trail NP, I've tested no less than 10 different pellets with varying degrees of performance. But these "eighteen/thirteens" as I call them, outperform them all.

My proclivity to search for an even better pellet. There simply are none.

These are very well made high quality pellets that fly straighter and more consistent than other brands. Fast shipping and each tin is packaged in foam to prevent damage

I think shipping should be free for orders of $50 or more

Shoot well , clean

None

If you're like me, you tested every pellet in your gun to find the most accurate pellet at "ALL" ranges. You've probably read every review you could hoping to find someone who could help you skip all the spending, and you thought you did when you read a review on the pellets you bought, lol. You bought them, shot them, and realized that each pellet was great at one thing or distance but not great at another. Then you came back, asked someone and they told you "every gun is different and you just have to find the pellet your gun likes". And you thought to yourself "uuuggghh, LOL. Well let this review save you the trouble. The JSB domers 18.13's are THE pellet that shoots accurate at all ranges in almost every gun. They have the best "balance" of weight, aerodynamics, ballistic coefficient, head/skirt ratio, etc. In many guns like all mine, they are THE MOST ACCOURATE at ANY distance. Don't believe me, rewatch any youtuber gun review, look on his table, and see what's under the gun. :)

Nothing. Only thing to stop you from getting what I consider the air rifling world's "gold standard" pellet is if you don't have the power to push them. If you have a low powered .22, then get his little cousins the 15.89's (regulars or Hades). They will shoot almost as well and in some guns equal.

Now you may have people reply to this review or disagree and say "my guns like the AA's or FX's better", and sure that may be true for their gun...... but let's not forget that those pellets are just rebranded JSB's. So the JSB 18's are the King of the pellet world, and if your gun doesn't like them, you're in the minority. :-)

These are among the very best pellets for a .22 cal rifle. Their accuracy is outstanding. I have tested these against many other pellets at 25 yards and with few exceptions these shoot the best in nearly every pellet rifle I have tested. I do not hunt with these pellets so their killing power is unknown to me. Lots of You Tube videos on the subject that test penetrating power, and they do well in those tests.

The price, of course. Pellet prices have been going up and that is not good for our sport.

great accuracy tight groups

they are a little expensive but worth it

Good accuracy in 500mm barrel. Sweet spot 880-910 fps.

Buy the 4 Tin deal. The packaging is much better . No damages pellets.

An excellent pellet, superb accuracy from my Weihrauch HW100S. These have a very high ballistic coefficient, shooting a good flat trajectory.

A few beat up in each tin

A very popular from JSB, they are frequently out of stock at many places.

They take out birds

The best.

These are great pellets. Every air rifle may be different but my RAW likes these. I have shot around 3,000.

Availability

I've only run about 40 or 50 through a Seneca Aspen, but they work well with the rotary magazine. The grouping is tight as well.

Still the best pellets out there.

Price

Evidently JSB lost their pellet washer to COVID because this last batch is the dirtiest I have ever seen.

very consistent no need to weigh or sort

nothing

Shot well.

Always accurate

Nothing
