Air Arms Diabolo or JSB Exact Jumbo Diabolo (.22 5.52)

[Gaoler 83]

Hi all,

I have a HW100 & Falcon FN19 in .22, for pellets I have been told the above are both made by JSB, also I am told they use different dies. Which pellet do you think is better suited for my rifles?

Cheers

I think you've been given correct info but, the only way to tell which is best for your rifles is to test them.

 ......... it's all part of the fun

Probably will open a can of worms, is it worth washing & lubing the pellets before testing?

No.  Just buy a tin of each and shoot them.

In my experience, it won't make a blind bit of difference mate.

 ......... leave that to the FT boys.

You need to try different pellets , most HW like falcon accuracy plus , the fly faster and flatter 625 -630 FPS and with AA fields or JSB 575-580 FPS

Agreed.

                            Mitch, ( Villaman ) put me onto the lighter pellets some three years ago , Falcon Accuracy Plus in .22 and JSB Exact Express in .177.

                            I`ve just bought a classic MK1 HW 80, in .22 and the Falcons are very powerful and extremely accurate, here's her numbers Gaoler.

                            626.64 ft/second, 11.71 ft/lbs

 

                                        atb,

Hi Mark,

My HW100 is set at 11.75, with 15.89 grain JSB, never been one for figures, how will the lighter grain effect the ft/lbs and performance.

[villaman 9,982]

Fap will be about 11.5 ftlbs and will take the wind better as it’s travelling faster , so not in the air as long

If you want to add confusion Livens in Burton sell FX airgun 16g pellets that weigh the same as JSB,s are shaped the same color the same oh hang on they are the same. And 3 quid cheaper atb

[Dervburner 2,549]

Top marks vm , no arguing with that result. HW or BSA?

One of my favourite shops. I’m planning to get over there after this lockdown, have a look at their fx rifles
