Mostly interested in their makeup , mostly lead, or fairly high zinc like AEA/JTS?
Apolo pellets, what's the story?
- Thread starter rangur1
- Start date
I just did a quick seat of the pants test of 3 brands of .22 cal pellets. The hardness of Apolo seems to be in between JSB and Crosman.

Apolo tiene dos tipos de plomo, el que usa en la version domed lata celeste la cual son mas duros y el material es un gris claro, y la version Air Boss domed Field target, estos son de un material mas oscuro y blando parecido al de JSB, son muchos mas caros que la lata celeste por ser seleccionados supuestamente, pero en muchos rifles andan igual o mejor los de lata celeste, en el caso de mi REd Taget R2 (Avenger) 22 hay diferencia en las agrupaciones, en 6,35 los Air Boss de 25 granos son muy superiores, los domed celeste son muy volantes

Hola, teniendo al alcance JTS/AEA no se preocupe en usar apolo, no son ni la mitad de calidad que los JTS, ojala en mi pais entrara esta marca, me olvidaria para siempre de Apolo.

Apolo seems to have a “high end” line named “Air Boss”.
I’ve tried a .177 9g Air Boss in precision target shooting and it did quite well.
I tried a couple other Air Boss - including a .22 17.xg flathead - and they both did well.
I’d imagine with a little sorting that these pellets give high performance per $

On my bottled jet, it's all I use. 25 caliber. They've got like a 30+ grain and a 25 grain believe. I prefer the heavier ones but they are both great for me 30 yards and in

I ordered about their whole line in 22 cal. The Atomic I had shot them about the same as Crosmans. Nothing like JSB’s.
They are some dirty pellets the way they come, and the release agent they use is one of the hardest I’ve come across during the washing process.

Not sure about their makeup. I’ve tried the air boss .30 in several guns and they have been utter garbage in everything. I mean garbage. I bought several tins of 33 gr in .25. Had good luck at first in a 600 mm fx liner (impact m3). Then they just stopped shooting well. Don’t know if subsequent tins were a different batch or something but they didn’t work. They don’t shoot in my delta wolf or other 600 mm fx liner in my wildcat either. I have written the brand off 100%

@rangur1 I’m not sure what the story is, but here is a story that I recently read on Apolo pellets and slugs.
