Page 9 - RWS Diabolo Basic, .177 Reviews

These pellets are really good, uniform, and consistent. I used these in my IZH-53M and found that they loaded very easy, almost as easy as some coated pellets I also tried. These were the most accurate pellets I tried in this pistol (of about 8 or so different ones).

They are very clean and uniform. This pellet makes tight groups with my Daisy 953. No ribbing on the skirt.

Nothing

This is a must have pellet, it is light, clean and performs well in a variety of my airguns.

Value, great pellet. Looked good and performed as expected.

The tin. OF COURSE!!

I have two of what I would consider magnum airguns and these of course will break Mach 1 with ease. I use them in my Mendoza RM200 and they get along very well together. What I liked about these pellets the most is that there is very seldom a flyer. Nice groups at 30 yards. Hits with authority on small pesty things. My RM chronies these in the neighborhood of 725fps. So stay away from Mach 1 and all is good. Get some, you will like them, typical RWS quality.

Great 10m pistol ammo or low powered rifle ammo, at a price I can afford to buy a lot of them at.

Nothing. They are not as consistent at Meisterkugeln Pistol, but they also cost 50% less, so no complaints. They shoot almost as well as Meisterkugeln Pistol, too.

When you're buying pellets here, buy 3 tins of these for the 4th free. You don't want to buy 3 tins of a more expensive pellet, then get the Basic cheapies free. ;) For most people and most guns, this will be just as accurate as the more expensive guns. Even if you're a match shooter, give these a try: you will be surprised at how well they shoot. These seem to be aiming to replace the old standby, RWS Hobby. (they shoot about the same, too) These shoot better in my guns than H&N Match, and cost a good deal less too. I just bought 4 tins of them and will probably buy more too.

Clean, consistant, and accurate for pistol and low power 10m target rifle. These are easy to shoot and they hold the POI when going from bench to offhand with my Daisy Avanti 853cm.

Nothing in design quality, or value. However would be nice to have them in a heavier pellet like a 7.9 or 8.0 grain for target rifle. I can just imagine the accuracy and potential of a RWS Basic Rifle 8.0 grain punching holes offhand with a target rifle. It would be my go to ammo for parctice.

They do very well on the bench with my Daisy 853CM, less than the size of 2 pellets. But they are light and harder to control when shooting offhand vs the heavier RWS Meister 8.2grain. Neverthless, It is a great pellet for pistol, and is great value of quality for target practice.

Accuracy and price

Nothing. These are an outstanding pellet for the money.

I have a Crosman Storm XT with an upgraded GRTIII trigger and a 4-9x32 Centre Point scope. At 30 yds these pellets consistently group from about 0.4" - 0.5" using a bench rest.

fit and finish is outstanding, clean and all around one of the best of the best pellets out there for accuracy.

dont change a thing its perfect!

i find all of the RWS brand pellets that i use to be of the highest quality and a good price..and the tin covers are easy to open and close. the folks who make these pellets set the quality bar vary high.

Good,consistent accuracy,at a bargain price

Nothing

As accurate in my Webley Alecto Ultra as pellets costing twice as much. Clean,round and every one feels the same as I press it into the loading chamber. When I got this shipment, I fired 6- 5 shot groups without cleaning or changing a thing on my red dot. Shooting from the bench all 6 groups could be covered by a dime. At less than a penny a piece with pyramids fourth tin free. I'm sold.

Nothing

weight is only 7 grains but It will kill paper or pop cans

Nice finish at this price.

Pellets are not even, some are bigger and some are smaller. Good for kids plinking. Worst pellets tried so far.

Not the pallets you could group within a penny at 30 feet.

Very accurate

The pellets were clean, polished, and accurate. The price for these pellets are practically a steal!

Maybe one of those Crosman style screw-on lids for the tin.

great plinking pellets for low velocity guns. I have not performed a true accuracy test yet, but from what I can tell these are going to be very accurate pellets on the range.

I have a very accurate CP88 with a scope and these inexpensive pellets are as accurate as any I have tried. Very good price and design.

Nothing

I have not tested at more than approx 20 feet. but deadly accurate at that range so I can't comment on greater distances. But since I got the scope I will be testing them at further distance targets.

Price. Manufacturer. Consistency.

Nothing

I bought the 177. The quality was consistent. Groups were very tight and consistent with Gammo Silent Stalker.

Inexpensive target practice pellets. They also work well in the H&N Finale Match Pellet Box; I've had other 7.0 gr pellets get hung up, but these are no problem.

Fancier tin, so it looks like I'm shooting expensive pellets and I can impress the babes hanging out at the range. ;-)

There may be some increase in group size over a premium pellet, but you'll never know it. Unless you are a top competitor, your own wobble will swamp the variation due to the pellet. Use high-dollar pellets for competition if that gives you confidence, but lots of practice helps confidence too and these pellets make practice more affordable.

The price and reutation of the RWS brand were the reasons for me purchasing these pellets. They load well in all my gun clips and are very uniform for being in a larger size tin.(They really packed them professonally at Pyramid)

I honestly would not have anything changed on these and that includes price. I have six high quality pellet gun pistols and three rifles and lots of back-forty for my grandkids and their friends to shoot. They go thru alot of ammo and CO2 so these are nice as they don't break the bank. They are just right for hitting pop cans and such.

Feed well, shoot straight, low cost. We don't compete so I don't know if you could win any matches with them.

Accuracy, price, dependable

nothing they are great!

They are surpisingly accurate for the price. I haven't seen a deformed one yet. They hold x-ring at 10meters out of my walter LP-201.

I've been using this pellet with the Umarex Berretta M92FS and Walther CP88. For the price, you cannot beat these pellets. When compared to pellets costing almost twice as much (like the Meisterkugeln), I notice little or no difference in accuracy, they just look nicer.

Nothing.

Try as many different types of pellets as you can with your air gun to see if they make a difference.

Super accurate in my VERY pellet-picky 12-groove long barreled RWS Diana 34.

I'd change nothing about the pellet, but screw-on lids are nice.

This is a very accurate and inexpensive pellet for target practice. I was beginning to think that no inexpensive pellet were ever going to shoot well in my 34. RWS is still selling these pellet-picky 12-groove 34s (just got mine) but at least they came through for me with an inexpensive pellet that regularly shoots into the same hole from my 7-yard basement range bench rest. My other Diana 34 "same-holer" pellets are the H&N Baracuda Power and Hunter, and the Crosman Premier Ultra Mag Heavy and Super Match. This RWS wadcutter shoots so well from my 34 that I'm planning to try some other RWS pellets too!

clean, accurate, and very uniform. with these and my Crosman 1377 American Classic, i was able to shoot the bottoms out of glass bottles...through the neck!!! yes, thats right, the bottle was laying down, with the mouth towards me and from 10-12 yards away, i was shooting down the mouth and blowing the bottoms out of the bottles. again, great pellet, and definintly worth the cost. buy more than one, you will be glad for it.

nothing except the tin, i actually spilled all of the pellets while taking the tape off the can... wont do that again.

nothing except get a bunch and stock up, these can sell out quickly.
