Page 14 - JSB Diabolo Exact, .22 Reviews

The head size was very consistant and the lead was a great consistency, allowing for maximum expansion!

The durability or the skirts

about 50-80 of the pellets were damaged when the pellets arrived im not sure if this was in shipping or if the pellets were poorly sorted on JSB's part.

they work better than my last pellets that i purchased

when a gun is sold you should add a paper with recommendations as to what pellets works with that particular rifle. i found out about after i had a problem with the ammo that i was using and when i talked with the tech he explained that it was not the correct weight for my particular rifle, but all is well now. thank you

i have pesky squirrels here on the farm and i am having fun creating havoc for them. hopefully they will leave soon. the pellets seem to be more accurate than the last ones that i used and that is a plus for them.

I didn't give these pellets a five star rating despite the great accuracy from my R9 at 25 yards. I had a lot of issues of spiraling pellets at ranges beyond 35 yards. I could see the round spiraling down range through my scope, beyond 35 accuracy was atrocious.

See above, and the friction fit pellet tin.

I had bad luck with these pellets, I even tried sorting them out but still found many of them spiraling. Your mileage may vary.

Theyre just okay but nothing special in my Benjamin Trail Np

I received a tin and upon opening, I could see many many mis-shaped/deformed prllets right on the top. Obviously quality control is lacking.

Pyramid Air promptly dealt with the bad tin and mailed a new one at no cost to me. I have not opened it, so cant say if the new one is any better. I ended up picking through the first tin of 500 and about 80 were deformed. Not good. Accuracy is so so; i'll Only use for general plinking.

big heavy pellet.

not so great in my hammerli pneuma. did ok in the kodiak.

Nicely formed and clean pellet in a 500 count tin. Not a screw on lid, but it is a secure pull-off/push-on design. The best part is in its performance. It lost an astounding little velocity between the muzzle and 20 yards (less than 7.5%). Most pellets I have measured lose around 10% of their initial velocity at that distance.

The tin is a large diameter and unsuited to carry in your pocket. Minor complaint but I would change it.

I originally intended to use this pellet in my Benjamin Trail XP NP-1100. However, it shot a little left of my other pet loads and had a somewhat large velocity spread from shot to shot. Average velocity was 816 fps and the impact point was consistent even though left. I then decided to try it in my Benjamin 392. The average velocity was 651 fps and shot to shot variation yielded a very small standard deviation of 4 fps. The accuracy was a consistent tack-driving one shot after another spot on impact point. I was not shooting paper but a 1-1/2" swinging target at 25 yards. I never missed in a least a dozen shots and the impact marks were all near center. I believe this illustrates that evaluating a pellet from a one-gun perspective may be misleading of its merit. That is why it is helpful even if not definitive, to list the gun you shot your pellet from. In time as more reviews are posted, if a pellet does not perform well in a particular model (or in any model/or well in others) then the reviews become more useful because of the specifics that can be gleaned from them.

Pellet quality. Good value. These shoot great in my old Benjamin 342. One of my favorites.

Internal padding to better protect pellets. Make pellet skirt a little stronger so it better resists deformation.

These should always be included in the mix when looking for the best pellet for your gun.

The hope of using the pellets for their higher B.C.....

Make the head and skirt size variable like H&Ns. They fit very loose in my barrel and do not engage the rifling well at all. Cost less. These aren't even as consistent as RWS superdomes. The Germans know how to make pellets.

For years I had heard that the JSB Exact Jumbo are one of the best pellets. I finally forked up the premium price for these and I am disappointed. The skirts are so thin and they were dirty like Crosman pellets. Many of the thin skirts were dented and it showed in the accuracy. My modded 1322 w/ modded 2260 barrel is shooting RWS superdomes in the same hole at 10 yds @ 650fps at the muzzle. The JSBs are shotgunning. I should have gone with H&N. So far I am not impressed with JSB Quality control. My superdomes have no lead dust, have robust skirts, and are not dented at all, perfect. If you are using a crosman 2260 barrel get RWS superdomes not these. They were most accurate in my carbine. Less B.C. but more accurate.

These pellets shoot very accurately in my Air Arms TX200mk3. I have no problem hitting a target at 70 yards with these. Quality control is excellent. Every pellet fits smooth into my rifle.

Screw-top on the tins would be a plus.

JSB 14.35 grain and 15.99 grain are the best pellets I have found, followed closely by CPHP and Benjamin. The worst pellets I have found are H&N Crow Magnum and Gamo Match.

The MOST accurate pellets ever.

Price?

I have tried MANY different pellets in several air rifles, and the result is always the same, JSB is far the best.

What can you say about JSB? They have no equal for accuracy, and I have found the 15.9 to be the best in my Mrod.

NOTHING!

I have tried MANY different pellets in several air rifles, and the result is always the same, JSB is far the best.

These are the BEST and most accurate pellets I have even shot. I mostly shoot a .22 Marauder, and it loves these pellets, as did even my old BSA springer.

Not a thing, great pellets!

Love the consistency with these pellets, no damaged skirts, a very high quality pellet. So far most accurate pellet for my Bull Whisper Extreme.

nothing, quality and quantity is great. You pay a little more but its well worth it.

Very accurate pellet

These are well made and clean. The weight is my favorite in .22 caliber giving superior energy without sacrificing too much velocity. I choose to use them in my Benjamin 392 due to the excellent accuracy they delivered while still giving me a muzzle velocity of 651 fps. The most important advantage to this pellet however was the downrange velocity it retains. I measure every pellets velocity at the muzzle and again at 20 yards and keep records of the results. I have tested over 50 pellets and no .22 caliber pellet is nearly as good at maintaining velocity as this one. That enables it to deliver and maintain superior energy from the muzzle to the target no matter how far away that may be.

A tin with a screw on lid.

I shot these initially from my Benjamin Trail NP-1100. They gave good grouping but shot to a different point of impact from my favorite pellet and had a lot of variation in shot to shot velocity. If your rifle performs well with them they will deliver the best downrange energy I have found from a .22 cal. pellet due to the fact that they retain velocity so very well.

Size, shape, consistency and they look pretty.

Nothing.

They're a little pricey but you get what you pay for, in my opinion i believe these are the best pellets you can get. Though they cost a little more, definitly buy at least one tin to try them out. I know you'll love them. My review is based off the performance of a Gamo Bone Collector Bull Whisper

Solid quality, 500 count, foam in tin for protection. Buy 3 get 1 free makes them affordable as well.

Better tin and offer different head diameters.

Consistent in sizing, good go to pellet for T.P. and Hunting. Use in rws 34 and 350.

pretty accurate out of my xp 1100 dropped a rabbit with one shot sounds like its hitting wood you can here the pellet penetrate and hit the bone

some damaged skirts not bad though

clean, shoots well in several rws springers.Quantity

little soft. can we get over the non screw on lid thing--deal with it.

don't like tins with no screw top or foam(this does have foam)solve problem your self. multiple easy solutions

Thy shoot great out of Benjamin and AA S510 carbine

The lid

Buy three tins get the forth one free

Good consistency. H & N FTT shot better groups with my Remington NPSS, but that may be preferance. Either way the quality looked good.

Nothing
