Page 4 - JSB Match Diabolo, .22 Reviews

I tried four different weights of the JSB Diabolo, and this one groups the best out of my Hatsan BT65QE

Offer this design at .30 grains.

These group very well, and with the heavier weight they are outstanding on small to medium sized game.

Solid pellet fits hasten rotary mag.

No

Accurate heavy shot

great weight, nice feel. accurate

nothing

This pellet is good in my Disco, but not very accurate in my Mod 125 Sniper Vortex, too heavy for my gamo big cat and my Hatsan Striker Edge

Weight in .22: You would get good FPE at range, if they were accurate

These simply don't work in my two PCPs: AA S510 and Talon SS. Both rifles shoot 13, 14, 15, and 18 JSBs excellently, but the Monsters simply shotgun. I have read that some folks have good luck shooting them >900fps, so if you aren't sure that your platform can send 25gr at 950fps, I'd look elsewhere.

High quality product and they shoot very well in my Hatsan AT 44 making 42 fpe out of it for deadly takedown power and excellent accuracy out to 75 yards.

As always cheaper price

great pellets for long range hunting.

heavier for better stability at higher velocities.

basically nothing but then what do I know about pellet design....

higher velocity air guns need heaver pellets to remain stable over greater distances.

Very nice, consistent and heavy pellet. These are very accurate in my Air Force COndor. Shot to shot consistency seems good with about a 50 fps difference between fast and slow shots. For a nice, tight fit in my barrel which helps with accuracy. Head and tail are pretty close to same size so the pellets line up straight in the bore, which helps accuracy as well. Shoots about 1.25 inch groups at 30.

These are definitely made for high pressure air rifles. Tried them in my Benjamin 392 pump gun and could not get them past 450 fps. Out of the Condor, I can get them past 1000 fps if I really open up the top hat; but only get 10-12 shot before I need a top off of the air tank. I would say that at that speed they will hit like a brick. ONe of the best pellets I have tested so far.

Heavy,hard hitting pellet.Great price.Almost like a .22 LR.

Put more pellets in the tin.

Need a powerful gun to shoot these pellets with accuracy.Less powerful guns "lob" the pellets to the target.

It's great to have a 25g pellet that works in my .22 hatsan AT44 qe. It helped me decide to buy a .22 rifle over the .25 version. There are other heavy .22 pellets but most are too long to fit in the mag. These fit and cycle well (at least in mine). They are accurate enough for small game hunting too. I'm not a target shooter but I can hit a squirrel's head at 30 yards which works for me. If you are only looking for pellets that group well at 50 to 100 yards, there are better (and cheaper) options. That's not to say that these won't work, I just haven't tried it. I used old 5" thick hardened wood as a back stop when zeroing my scope. These pellets only penetrated around .25" but the pellet was flat as paper when I dug it out. It was nearly .75" wide so lots of hunting damage. I like the shape of these pellets too. They look more like (small) bullets which is slightly cooler.

Quality control. There was a good number of pellets that had damaged skirts on arrival. My tin arrived with fewer pellets than there should have been too. Not sure what happened to the rest but I'll consider it a manufacturers error this time. It's impossible to prove that I didn't just use the missing pellets which makes it a frustrating problem. I would like to see more 25g (or heavier) .22 pellet options. Maybe some pointed ones. JSB make nice pellets. More please! Make them less expensive. There is no reason they should cost so much, given how little effort is put into quality control.

They work well in the Hatsan mags. I can't speak for any other brands.

The pellet recommendations listed under each rifle on the PA site are not necessarily ones that will work with that specific gun. They are just pellets of the same caliber. Many of the longer pellets don't work well in many repeater rifles.I couldn't find a list of all the pellets that work in my gun so I had to spend a lot of time reading through individual reviews. Note the sporadic bad reviews written by people who were disappointed when they bought pellets that didn't fit.

Many manufacturers don't even list the length of their pellets which isn't very helpful. PA should make of list of pellets known to work with each gun they sell, or at least, measure them for us and list their length.

Heavy nice looking pellets look like little bullets, I use in my Benjamin Marauder 22, first generation and work perfectly fine, very very accurate hit hart and knock down any Rat,crow, perform pretty good in medium hunting game i will order more of this pellets.

nothing

Work pretty good in benjamin marauder just add more power to your gun because is a heave bullet

JSB quality, fit, clean, accurate up to 30 yards in my 30fpe spring rifle. Hits hard. Penetrates deep.

Increases recoil in my rig, kicks like the 7+mm AK47, almost as much as a AR15, took me by surprise. W/ 30fpe rifle they start to drop pretty quick after 30+ yards. Which I expected at 25g. I got pellets that group tighter but ill be using these at 10,15yrds.

I shoot these through my Hatsan AT44-10 QE Long. So far these pellets have been the best for my gun. They are extremely accurate and hit it's mark very hard. I love these pellets.

Nothing to change that I can think of.

If you have a high powered PCP then you should give these a try.

the weight of these pellets,the consistant accuracy of these pellets, the knockdown power of these pellets

there is absolutely NOTHING i would suggest to change. don't fix it if it isn't broken!!

these pellets are awesome, so consistant so powerful. i love these pellets and i don't use anything else in my umarex octane pellet rifle. try these pellets out sometime, you can't go wrong!!

The Weight & the B.C.

The tin is clumsy with the amount weight it packs! Definitely needs a screw on lid.

Tested the pellet from my Hatsan AT44-10 @ 872 FPS. The pellet was also chronied @ 40yrds still doing over 800fps. Great BC! Carries alot better down range energy/velocity than faster pellets going over 970 fps.

The Size & Weight. Im Pushing these 872 FPS from my AT44 Long & they are still doing over 800 FPS @ 40 yrds.They have a Great BC! Wish they was more accurate from My rifle.

Screw on lid! The container is very clumbsy with all the weight in it.

Great Pellet! I would recommend trying it if you have a HP rifle.

condor loves them

price and tin count

WOW! These are hard hitting missiles. Very accurate out of my Diana 48. It hits with such authority.I have yet to try them in my Octane. I am having too much fun.

Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

I heard that Monsters were not very accurate in the 48 so do not believe what you read. Try them and find out for yourself and you won't be disappointed.

Hit like a stone, best accuracy across the board is several different custom PCP's I modified.

Like everybody says Tin Tin Tin... Please fix the Tin for a screw on type of lid. One other thing: JSB... Please make these in .25 cal. I can imagine 37 to 40 grainers at JSB accuracy in my .25 cals Wow!! Other heavy pellet makers are not even close to your JSB Kings 25.4g in my guns! Lets do it!

I never sort these and shoot <.25" accuracy at 30 yards time and time again with great smack down power.

The size of them.

Everything, they don't work in my .22 and I've used tons of other brands that work great so it's not my rifle.

I could not even hit a can from 10 feet away. Horribly inaccurate. I would never buy these again and wish I could return them.

Nice pellets..
