Page 18 of 18 - JSB Match Diabolo Exact Jumbo .22 (5.5mm) Cal Reviews

I am torn on how to review this pellet. I hate to give it a poor rating, but the accuracy from my Evanix Renegade was simply awful. The .22 Monster is beautifully made, very uniform in sizing, shaping and weight, and you get plenty for your money versus some of the more expensive pellets. I found no defective pellets at all in looking at 400 rounds. Velocity was very consistant from shot to shot, but for whatever reason, these just weren't compatible with my rifle at all. Wish I had another .22 to test them in, they could very well be superb in a differently designed rifle.

As always recommended, buy a tin or two to test fire before committing to a bulk order.

Consistent shape and weight. Soft lead alloy. At 50 yards, they produce groups between 0.875" to 1.8125" at speeds of about 930 fps at 45 degrees F. The group size grows at higher speeds. At 100 yards, they produce 10" or larger groups (Kodiak averages 2" and Eun Jin 28.4 gr and 32 gr 2.5" at 100 yards.) Accuracy is way below that of the Kodiak. Both power and accuracy are way below that of the Eun Jins. But it does have a higher point of impact at 50 yards which suggests it shoots a little flatter than a diabolo-shape pellet. Personally, I like the Kodiaks and Eun Jins much more than this pellet.

Anything to make it more accurate. Well, that might just point us to the JSB diabolo pellets.

These pellets were shot from a Sumatra 2500R (380cc) that has passed the break-in period and the barrel cleaned per the Pyramyd report.These pellets were "sized" by inserted from the end of the magazine. Also, there is more lead debris left in the bore due to the thinner pellet skirt.

This was the heaviest pellet that would still fit in the clip of my benjamin marauder. Pellets are well formed. Excellent groups in my gun, some ten shot groups at 40 yards under a half inch which is stretching my abilities with a fixed power 4x scope anyway. Haven't had a chance to hunt with them yet but at 25 grains they are sure to hit hard.

Nothing really, could always be cheaper or have a screw on lid, but I doubt either is going to happen.

Skirt is on the thin side as is typical with JSB pellets.

A smooth clean pellet.

Absolutely Nothing!

I never thought that I would find a pellet that would out group a Beeman Kodiak at 50 yards in my AIRFOCE CONDOR. Man how wrong I was.I have the power setting on 11 and shoot 5 shot groups smaller than a dime at 50 yards.I have not shot any further than that yet but I sure these pellets will be accurate on out to past 75 yards.They are also more resistant to wind becuase of thier shape and weight.In my opion these are the best pellets to buy for a CONDOR.If you have a Condor or any PCP with the power close to a Condor you have to try these MONSTERS . YOU WILL BE IMPRESSED.

G-R-E-A-T: they load and shoot well in my Marauder.
