Air Arms diablo field air gun .22 pellets

🎯 Key Features & Benefits

• Designed for consistency
  Manufactured by JSB for Air Arms, these pellets feature an inner stepped ridge that flexes to grip rifling perfectly upon firing—resulting in excellent accuracy.
• Precision weight control
  A 500‑pellet tin typically weighs ~16 grains with very tight tolerances (e.g. 15.8–16.2 gr), ensuring uniform performance.
• Clean and high-quality finish
  Produced with minimal lead dust and deformities; tin packaging includes foam cushioning to protect pellet skirts.
• Reliable accuracy across distances
  In field tests: ~9 mm groups at 20 yd, ~5.8 mm at 30 yd, still under 17 mm at 40 yd—consistently fitting under a 5 pence coin (~18 mm). Ideal for hunting or HFT competition.
• Versatile performance
  Great for hunting, target shooting, and precision plinking. Often favored in sub-12 ft‑lb spring rifles as well as higher-power PCPs.
• Good value premium pellet
  Priced around £19–£22 for 500 rounds of .22, offering match-grade quality without match-grade cost.

⚠️ Considerations

• Some rifles prefer harder pellets
  These are on the softer side. If your gun prefers firmer pellets (e.g., H&N), skirt deformation may affect performance.
• Not always top performer in every gun
  While most rifles love them, a few don’t; personal testing is the best way to confirm a pellet match.

🗣️ Real User Feedback

“In my Theoben Fenman .22… worst pellets shoot 2‑inch at 30 yds whereas Air Arms Diabolo Field brings 5‑shot groups down to just over ½ inch.”
“My BSA R‑10 Mk2 (.22)… consistent accuracy even beyond 50 yds… combination of accuracy and retained energy makes them my first choice for reliable hunting pellets.”

“They’re the best pellet for my Weihrauch HW100KT.”
“If there is no wind, they can hit the target right out to 55 yds—crazy for a sub‑12 ft‑lb .22.”

“These are personally my favourite pellet for accuracy and I’ve tried a heck of a lot of them! The air rifles I use are the BSA R-Ten .22 air rifle with Black Pepper stock (gorgeous!) and the Weihrauch HW100BP Bullpup .22 air rifle. Both of these are super accurate sub 12 ft/lb rifles with the HW100BP really packing a punch right out of the box!”

• Hunting enthusiasts who want clean expansion and dependable kills
• Field target or precision shooters aiming for tight groupings at 20–40 yd
