EXCELLANT

PACS OF 1000/3000

NOPE

Very accurate in my maurader

Nothing

I thought my new gun was accurate with Crosman premier domed pellets. Then I got these based on reviews and wow! Sure they're 4 times the price of Premiers and those you can pick up at Wally World, but if you crave accuracy, get these. I'm shooting a Gamo Maxxim and can easily keep a 1/2" group at 50 feet.

Buy them here, not Amazon. Packed with care in foam.

JSB quality is good, the accuracy from my air rifles proves that. The fit Is the same every time, from what I can tell.

I wouldn't change anything about the product. You get what you pay for.

JSB is well known, give them a try if you haven't already.

The tins have top and bottom foam inserts. I like that. The uniformity of these pellets is remarkable. These fit and group very well in my Hatsan 155 Torpedo Vortex .22 caliber. I've been getting 1" groups at 35 yards on a Brand New rifle. I'm somewhat shocked that the accuracy should be so good with a brand new barrel, but it speaks well for JSB and Hatsan. It should only improve. No fly-aways. All misses from the bulls-eye were my fault. Great pellet!

This needs to have a SCREW ON LID!

I always add two or three drops of Ballistol to each tin, as a barrel lubricant. I've found that it keeps the pellets polished nicely and I do not experience any Deiseling from doing so.

Both the precise shape (very few defects) combined with the slightly harder than average lead makes these pellets quite precise. I saw a substantial increase in accuracy compared to to the cheap Walmart premier pellets. Also, the fact that they are heavier can increase accuracy also. Often times people want high velocity pellets but this comes at to the cost of both short range accuracy and especially long range accuracy. Slower moving pallets with more inertia maintain much more of their downrange energy.

Can't think of anything

I'm happy these pellets or NOT hollow points. From what I have seen, hollow points don't actually expand due to the relatively modest energy associated with air guns and I worry if the divot in the tip of the pallet affects aerodynamics.

Accuracy. I finally have some accuracy in my rifle, thanks to these.

Nothing

If you're having trouble getting your air rifle to shoot accurately, stick to round nose pellets and then change the weights of them to see what works the best. I have a Benjamin NP Trail, and it would shoot one hole groups with 14.3g pellets, but only out to about 20 yards. After that, it was a shot gun pattern. With these pellets, I can hit pop cans at 50 yards all day (if I do my part; I'm working on that).

These pellets are about as precise as you can expect. They have always arrived in good shape (very few if any bent skirts), clean, and ready to go. I apply several drops of airgun synthetic oil to the foam liner to provide a bit of lubrication, but thats it. Weights do vary a bit, but sizing is quite consistent.

Nothing

Serious target shooters know to weigh and size their pellets, and will be pleased with the consistency right out of the tin.

Best pellet for my AT-44 short.

Nothing

These pellet are my "Go To" pellet of choice for all my air gun needs.

Very consistent at 25 and 50 yards shooting out of my Marauder equipped with a hammer forged barrel. 1/4" c-t-c 5 shot groups at 25 yards and 3/4" c-t-c at 50 yards when I do my part. Not quite as tight of a group at 50 yards as the AA Fields though. I do wash all my pellets with Naptha and then lube with FP-10 and these pellets are a little dirtier and have a little more lead dust left behind in the wash compared to the AA Fields.

I do prefer the screw on lids. Lower the price.

There is a bigger spread of head sizes compared to the AA Fields, but the HF barrel doesn't seem to mind as they group unsorted just as well.

5 shots in a .24" hole with the .22 pellets at 20 yards using my Brocock Compatto. Very accurate and reliable for humane kills on rabbits and birds.

Nothing

Nothing

These are now my go to pellet. Great quality control and consistancy. All my guns love these pellets. Very consistant shot placement, with little to no flyers, ever.

Nothing.

Try them.

No matter what gun or what caliber JSB is the most accurate pellet.

Nothing.

Nothing if you want to hit what you aim at shoot JSB.

By far the best pellet in my RWS 54. I'll be damned if I had more than 10 pellets with *barely* imperfect skirts. Considering the amazing quality, these are CHEAP. I would never want to hunt with any other pellet manufacturers ammo because frankly, nothing else hits as consistently, or leaves as little grime in my barrel as a JSB pellet.

Nothing. I don't mind the non-screw caps since they fit super tight. Never have come open on me, even sitting loosely in my jacket when flying over hard bumps on my dirt bike.

I can only emphasize that considering these are hand selected, and virtually without "flyers", they are a true bargain. Make sure you buy from Pyramyd so that they come packed in good foam for shipping. If you still don't know better and buy ammo from Amazon, you had might as well buy crow magnums because the pellets will bounce around, bend up, a shoot inconsistently from their pathetic shipping standards. Truly an injustice to their paying customers and especially JSB's dedication to quality.

Excellent grouping! Five shot groups of under 1 inch at 45 yards using Hatsan AT44-10 QE with regulator valve.

A screw on lid would be nice.

I regularly dust sparrows and cowbirds at 35 to 50 yards.

This was my second order of the JSB Match Diabolo Exact 18.13 grain pellets for my AT44QE that I received for Christmas 2015. My rifle really loves these pellets. Out of the original 4 cans and the one can so for from this order, I have found only one damaged pellet. PA does the best job of packing pellets for shipment.

Nothing, except maybe drop the price by a dollar or two. I know some people don't like the fact that the lid is not screw on but that does not bother me.

When I got my AT44, I ordered every pellet sampler that PA offered in 22 to get a variety of pellets to try plus 4 tins of the JSB 18.13 grains. I had another rifle that also likes these pellets. I tried the JSB in the AT44 first and have never opened any of the samplers. I don't believe that I can find a better all around pellet for the AT44.

I just purchased a Vulcan PCP .22. The vendor where I purchased rifle from uses only JSB Match Exact 18.13 grain. The rifle was zeroed at 30 yards. 5 pellets were all within a dime size hole. Excellent pellets!

None

Uniformity in pellet size is important for accuracy as all airgunners know and these pellets are the best!

Everything

Nothing

I use these in my AA S410 SL EXTRA FAC regulated shooting 880 fps +- 5 fps. I have shot ground squirrels at 160+ yards. I dont think i have had a flyer yet.

These are my preferred hunting pellets for my Hatsan AT44 QE. Tack drivers, 10 shot one hole groups at 50 yards are common if you can shoot as good as the gun. Plenty of energy and consistent groups, all you need for plinking or hunting.

Nothing needs changing.

Groups 3/4" @ 33-yds. in my UmaRex Fuel .22

Nothing.

Only trouble is: The group is 2.75" High X 1" Left of my 14.3 gr. Standard Crosman UltraMag (domed) and the expensive 16 gr. Poly Mag. We should all be blessed w/ such choices. Think I'll keep my scope centered on the 2 Standards and revisit Diablo when I run out of present ammo.
