I have shot jsb exact 15.89grain .22, 5.51waisted diabolo for ten years through my Weihrauch 100 T. They have been reliable and accurate for all those years. Until recently when I started getting a high percentage of flyers. I had the rifle serviced at Hull Cartridge where the gun came from. I then had the gun serviced by an independent gun smith to see if the problem was in the rifle. The gun was passed safe and accurate to use. So then I looked at the jsb,s. And what I found was the pellets when weighed ranged into three distinct weight ranges. Heavy 16.5g medium 15.86g and light 15.00g all from the same tin using calibrated scales.Also jsb has changed the design of the skirt depth from an average of 2.367mm original to 3.471mm latest. An average difference of 1.107mm. In a deeper skirt length. With a pellet height of a constant 7.56 that makes a percentage difference of 6.829. That can have a major ballistic effect on a pellet of 7.56mm. The batch number on the tin is 40560018.
I used to use Prometheus and the Sussex Sabo in my old Airsporter Prometheus was meant to be high velocity and cause larger wound channels as it tumbled . It also made great sparks if it hit concrete say if you missed the target
Loved the wasp pellet as a kid I guess those diabolo are a modern equivalent. The Bisley was the regulation pellets for many of the competition shoots. Those hollow slugs were the typical fairground pellets. Oh the good old days when a range was common place at a fair.
The copper ball tipped ones you can buy them in lead with a metal bb ontop, I use to use them, can’t remember who made them but you can see till find them, I use .22 diablo Hades (awesome pellet, great quality) now and Premiere Domed (super cheap and not well made but they work well with my gun)
Back in the day I remember using those Prometheus in my Theoben. 22 Eliminator 30ft lb break barrel. Bad ass as the crack suggested that they were breaking the sound barrier even with standard theoben moderator. Theoben did not recommend these because of plastic residue left in the barrel.
Well I've thougherly enjoyed your video even though it was made quite a while ago now. Reading some of the comments just proves there are some stupid people about. I fully understood your using different rifles for the different types of pellets used etc. At least I understood it wasn't a comparison, but a demonstration of these pellets. I certainly wouldn't want to ruin a nice rifle either. I actually learned quite a lot as I didn't know about lead balls for a start. I actually used another brand I can't remember now but they were like the Prometheus, a Zink plastic skirted pellet. I used to have to use a brass brush pull through to clean the barrel after a good few went through to clean out the plastic but by God they were very accurate and powerful, they would easily penetrate the door of a steel clothes locker at 30 yds and put a huge dent in the back plate as well. That was using a PCP Daystate MK ll Huntsman. Happy days. I've watched quite a few of your videos now and have really enjoyed them all. 😉👍
Pretty neat target set-up. Cool seeing someone else using same loads I use regularly too, especially the Crossman pointed H-points. I thought I was the only one who'd picked up on these. Thank you very much for the insights and keep up the good times.
Nice to see results side-by-side, & compare on the same medium. A note about airgun darts, there are two styles; one has the "hair" tail, as shown here, which are meant for use in smoothbores. The other has a longer, fluted plastic tail, which are meant for rifled barrels. I shot the latter out of my Crosman 1377 pistol many times at a dartboard target, & with only two pumps, got excellent accuracy out to ten yards. However, they do impact far lower than standard projectiles, requiring major sight adjustment or hold-over.
Thank you for the great information. it always amazes me that alot of people think air weapons aren't that dangerous. nice collection of rifles! thanks again!
Thanks for the side-by-side comparisons. I'm in the market for a first airgun, and this has at least in general fashion given me a better understanding of shapes and use cases.
i have the gammo red tip and find they don't work very well in my gun, the tip separates from the lead skirt during flight making it essentially an off balanced hollow point that usually hits target sideways instead of tip first
Those zombie trackers are useless. The glowing tip is at the front so it flies away from you when you shoot it and you never see it. Pull out the glow tips and glue them in the back of the skirt of a diablo pellet. They're easier to charge with a uv torch when they're loaded and you can actually see them👍
Are prometheus still available. Had some when they first came out. Appalling accuracy but penetration was insane. They would actually go threw a car door skin and threw a tempered windscreen.
920 FPS is about the speed at which the transonic pressure wave begins, this presure wave is problematic for diablo type pellets because of the aerodynamic character of diablos and should be considered maximum accurate speed for diablos. Slugs don't have this problem and are usually heavier than diablos, so much better at delivering energy at distance accurately (all other aspects being equal).
I have 2 German rifles a Walther terrus an a Diana 34 both .22 for some reason they like the crossman hollow points better than the most expensive ones.....
I used the feather ones but didn't know my barrel aren't smooth I hope I didn't do damage as they shot terribly. My feather rounds looks like cast aluminium so they should be softer that the steel.
THx the the info - I've been trying to get my hand on some RWS Hyer Max (.221) everyone is out ot stock and I tried some plastic jacketed ammp that I was very disappointed in -

People just think these pointy pellets with little red or orange tip pellets look nicer so they must be better but they couldn't be more wrong. The flat top pellets are significantly more accurate by a huge margin
I'm new to air rifle. I have an remg express synthetic .22 Cal. For varmit control and small game hunting what distance would you recommend at zero target for sighting in 4xew scope. My friend and I are in disagreement. I say 50yrds. He's say 50-60ft
The point of the cocking lvr is touching the spring at the last cm of travel your spring could be pulling scew or you have a tightfitting od spring in your gun.
Part two of my comment: I also have an air-gun Kocks from the barrel, the Cat 4.5mm by pushing it down, Harrington & Son Walton England. And a Pioneer barrel breakdown China, and American Classic #1377 and a Crosman 177 model #115. With Co2 cylinder i’ve been collecting for quite some time when I was younger I had a very extensive collection but some people broke into my storage shed and stole them along with my comic books well anyway I still collect BB guns / pellet guns .🕶
A quick question if you don't mind? Drozd Blackbird (Russian made bb machine gun) From what I understand it is available in both smoothbore and rifled barrel...but both barrels are designed to shoot steel bb's only. This is contrary to the wisdom of that the steel shot should not be used in rifled barrels. What is your opinion on that?
Seriously though, you did a good job. It was a little slow a few times, but you did hold my attention for 24:35. I would have shortened the description of similar projectiles (do a quick showing of them) and would have focused more on comparing the exit channels. Showing which one created the most damage, deepest penetration, most takedown power, etc. Maybe use a piece of meat for a more accurate measurement in the future.
Hi JRH - very interesting - never heard of the sabotted pellets! Also the Predator Polymags you mention are quite accurate for a pointed pellet in many of my airguns - most other pointed pellets are like you mentioned not great for quality / accuracy. Thanks!
I've been experimenting with some of the new slugs that people are casting at home and selling on Ebay. I got some for my armada .25 that are elongated hollow points with a steel core. They literally shred apart on impact with hard surfaces. Very nasty when you think about hitting something live with it.
Nice video, good info, thanks for it. how far were you shooting the target board? 2 meters? the sound changed and i could't quite make out what yuo said
You did a good job but you should have shown the back side completely and slower on the camera to see the full effect of the damage done by each pellet.

almost posted about having black tip real ammo then saw the DARTS. Holy shit im finding a gun and those darts here in Murica Asap Gonna have the best dart board ever in the barn time to whip out the visa!
I dont see why the "pop rock" noise makers you throw on the ground couldnt be used in tandem with guns own pressure to super charge the shot... Any thoughts other than the increase of emergency room visits?
Louis Peters Because if my understanding of them is correct, they need to be crushed to go off. I fill the skirt with wax, same effect as dieseling (a little less actually) and way less messy, did a few with a drop of lubricant under a wax cap and those worked well too, just not accurate
@@FroznFox Yeah, 3 dry firings are unlikely to actually damage a spring. Don't do it though as it's not the spring that you need to worry about. The piston is what gets trashed by firing without a pellet, not the spring.
those Gamo red tipped ones are absolutely amazing for small game! got a rabbit through the heart at about 70 yards with iron sights with my remington nitro! they're almost perfect for that gun with a VERY consistent accuracy! most of what i use them for is squirrel and pest control and they're the best ones i've ever used out of all the ones i've tried! the crossman destroyers work great too but only at closer ranges ~15-30 yards, they lose too much energy with that cupped nose but they hit hard and make quite a cavitation sound when they impact! they won't over penetrate either.
What utter rubbish. You should never fire at any living creature with iron sights at your claimed distance as your more likey to miss and if you did by some fluke hit the animal you'd be lucky to not to end up injuring it and it going off to die somewhere. Comments like this, if your are really into Hunting are one of the few that give those of us a bad name. There are lots of us put time and effort into trying to the keep the sport in a good light.
@@Simon_W74 I know where all my shots go thanks, the pellets I use are extremely well performing and give repeatable accuracy with my gun which is why they're the only ones I use with it out of all the ones I've tested. I've been shooting since I was 6 using iron sights on a .22 and if I wanted to do big game hunting I'd have no problems using iron sights and a larger caliber pellet gun. I've been shooting for 30 years now and do bench rest with .22s and my father does long range .50 cal and is having a news article published about his method of bullet making for accuracy. Sit your privileged ass down kid because you have no clue who I even am!

There is one downfall to the Diablo style pallet it’s stability at higher velocity‘s your modern standard pill or slug round handle higher velocity is much better with a better B.C. FX makes A fantastic round
For hollow points or any hunting pellet if using sub 12 ftlb you wont be getting much expansion, for that to happen youll need an FAC and around 40 ftlb so focus more of the most accurate pellets for sub 12 ftlb. The wand chooses the wizard so biy sone sample packs, see what your barrel likes and dislikes and make sure you always keep the same point of aim

Just bought my first Air Rifle today and I'm excited to watch many more of your videos, thanks for the great info!
The best pellet I ever use is crossman hollow points good for hunting and targeting

Love the camera in back of target. And again the lead balls shot straight and true. Love Lead balls.

Food for thought, I shall try and remember what you have shared with us. Many thanks
This video is legit! I enjoy trying all kinds of pellets and the variety is a bonus to the hobby!
Can I buy darts for my 177 pump air rifle? I believe it’s probably smoothbore because it’s an inexpensive Daisy Crossman gun.
Well done very diligent .It took a lot of time to do this a great effort. congratulations on a good product.
Through my experiences, I found the Prometheus and similar types are best used for penetrating hard surfaces and high projectile velocities.

Very educational. I learned some new things. Well presented. Thank you Sir.
Thank you for your time and information,,, Enjoyed and learned,,, Excellent Sir,,
So the lead balls can be used in rifled barrels?
Yes the ball will engage the rifling but you want the ball to be smooth
Thanks for the side-by-side comparisons. I'm in the market for a first airgun, and this has at least in general fashion given me a better understanding of shapes and use cases.
I used to get these pellets that were hollow points with a copper BB seated in the nose. Those were awesome.
i have the gammo red tip and find they don't work very well in my gun, the tip separates from the lead skirt during flight making it essentially an off balanced hollow point that usually hits target sideways instead of tip first
Maby get a lower psi gun of clean the barrel if that doesn't work just use hollow point
Interesting and valuable information, thanks
The pellets that you describe as "slugs" were originally known as "Singles" and were mostly used in smooth bore guns.
Those zombie trackers are useless. The glowing tip is at the front so it flies away from you when you shoot it and you never see it. Pull out the glow tips and glue them in the back of the skirt of a diablo pellet. They're easier to charge with a uv torch when they're loaded and you can actually see them👍
Are prometheus still available. Had some when they first came out. Appalling accuracy but penetration was insane. They would actually go threw a car door skin and threw a tempered windscreen.
What is the best all round pellet for a .22 hw80 please and I'm using Diablo 14.
5 grain at the mo??
920 FPS is about the speed at which the transonic pressure wave begins, this presure wave is problematic for diablo type pellets because of the aerodynamic character of diablos and should be considered maximum accurate speed for diablos. Slugs don't have this problem and are usually heavier than diablos, so much better at delivering energy at distance accurately (all other aspects being equal).

Cheap The smk B2 there Is dirt cheap okay entry level, there the co2 bolt action qb78 too
Want something good, mid range BSA lightning
High end Tx200, Air arms s400, HW77
There is one downfall to the Diablo style pallet it’s stability at higher velocity‘s your modern standard pill or slug round handle higher velocity is much better with a better B.C. FX makes A fantastic round
Idk a diabolo hitting sideways is still a win at this size if still precise and accurate
Good video thank you👌🏿
Good brevity makes sense
Fun fact: hollow point pellets don't expand at all on lower powered air rifles. So for most people, it's not worth buying them.
i don't do shooting of any kind, (though i would if i was able) but still found this really interesting.
Great vid.
No incendiary rounds? I know they're mostly fabricated at home but I think a few companies manufacture them in small batches. Still fun though.
For hollow points or any hunting pellet if using sub 12 ftlb you wont be getting much expansion, for that to happen youll need an FAC and around 40 ftlb so focus more of the most accurate pellets for sub 12 ftlb.
The wand chooses the wizard so biy sone sample packs, see what your barrel likes and dislikes and make sure you always keep the same point of aim
How many fps do your guns shoot? Without a firearms certificate, they have to be under 500 fps here. They are mostly 495 fps.
