Air Rifle Pellets

#1 Post by Polchraine »

I have just received some samples of JSP Diabolo pellets to try through my AA S410k.

In standard range there are 5.51, 5.52 and 5.53 and I need a nice calm days to try those with a chrono. There are also some heavier ones which will probably drop like a stone from 25m.

Also sent were the HADES pellets which are produced with what looks like a radiation symbol on the front and is designed to help them deform on impact. I tried them from kneeling at 25m into solid mahogany - they hit hard and flatten under the surface making it difficult to extract them and getting a 25mm group at 25m suggests they are a well made and well suited pellet. Now need some vermin to try them on.

They are certainly worth checking out.

I would say 99% of all the pellets we deal with, either shooting or selling are JSB, everything from .177 4,52 Exact to .25 Diabalo for hunting that go out of the door 50 tins at a time.

Have you tried the Hades yourself? I am just waiting for the real opportunity with Vermin ...

I have seen they do some 25.39 grain Monster Jumbo compared to their typical 15.89 grain pellet - on a sub-12 rifle the trajectory will be rapidly down.
