Anybody shoot the Apolo Air Boss 177 or 22 domed or match head pellets. Tom Gaylord gave a good review. Forgot what gun he used. Looks like a good price in Amazon although I would get them somewhere else due to their poor shipping. I saw a prior post on 30 cal and slugs for this brand but thinking this is a new thread. If not, please direct me.

My Notos loves the Air Boss Domed .22 cal Apolo pellets and I shoot the Air Boss Domed .30 cal pellets from my AEA Challenger with good success. All my Apolo pellets and slugs are purchased from Field Supply. They are packaged well and shipping and communication is very good.

I shoot the 22 domes from my PP 750 and they shoot as well as or better than AA 16s which is stacking them at 30 yds and 3/4" or better at 50yds. The pellets all look real good but there are a lot of flakes in the tins and many have flakes hanging in the skirt. Don't know why they shoot so well but they do, in this gun. I get mine from FS also.

I’ve not had much success with them. The apolo .30cal are just rebranded Hatsans. They are ok for plinking but not for target shooting or precision hunting. The tins are full of lead shavings and they are filthy. My Kral just doesn’t like them.. My Impact M3 .35 doesn’t like them either. I’ve actually resized them with ok results. But yes you definitely get what you pay for. I may try some of the slugs they have. We’ll see.. Grass

Im using for precision on my Feinwerkbau P44 the .177 or 4,5mm 7gr, 045grams and for practice is nice but not lubrificate and there is better finish on ex RWS Club and is cheaper….

Thanks for the feedback on the metal shavings in the tins and on the skirts.
Actually, if anything is rebranded, Hatsan is buying from Apolo/ Air Boss and rebrands them "Hatsan" — which they have been doing with H&N, JSB, and others.
Attached below is the pellet and slug catalog from the Apolo/ Air Boss factory in Argentina.

You’re saying some Hatsans are rebranded H&N and JSB? Do you know which ones?
Also, a nice thing about Field Supply is free shipping over $25, though I don’t recall if they charge sales tax now.

I just checked my notes — sorry for my error on JSB:
● JSB has rebranded for the following:
Air Arms | EdGun | FX | Daystate ("Rangemaster") | Cometa | Weihrauch | Diana | Webley
● H&N has rebranded for:
Daystate ("Rangemaster") | Beeman | BSA | Diana | Stoeger | Bisley | Hatsan ("Vortex") | Webley
For details cf. the attached PDF.
Cheers,
Matthias

my notos likes the 21gr slugs and the 18.1gr pointed pellets from apollo. i shoot them out to 65 yards with decent accuracy.
i’ve even tried the 40gr .25 slugs in my huben k1 and it shoots them well too.
i think the apollo’s are nice ammo after cleaning the lead flakes from them. lead flakes are my only problems with the apollo ammo.

Good afternoon! In the most regulated section of my Feinwerkbau P44 which is from 150bar to 100 bar that gives about 120 shots at 155 m/s with RWS R10 Match of 0.45g,7gr, has a variation between shots of 1.3 at most and with the Apolo AirBoss of the same weight there is variation between shots of 7 to 8 meters per second BETWEEN SHOT! Between 150bar and 100bar the maximum variation is this one with the R10Match is 6m/s (the maximum because between shot as I said is 1.3)! I'm going to see the RWS Club that will be cheaper than the Air Boss (almost half the price) and I guarantee that they will do better!!!

There was a time my 600mm fx liner liked the apolo 33gr domes. Then I tried them again awhile later (possibly a different batch) they didn’t shoot well at all. My epoch hates them and it shoots all the jsb 33.95, fx 34 and jts 33.95 absolutely great. I have given up on apolo. I also have a couple tins of the .30 cal 50 gr. Top of the tin is yellow. Forget the exact name but I think they are basically hatsan or apolo. They are straight up dog 
and haven’t worked in anything.

I have not found the Apollo pellets to work in any high-end air rifle.But I have surprisingly found them to work in turkish rifles. Apollo slugs, on the other hand have worked in my impacts, huben k1, vulcan, taipans, crickets, edguns
