Since purchasing the (.22) Hatsan Flash QE in July 2019, I have been using only JSB pellets, based on the recommendation of Pyramyd Air, from whom I purchased the Hatsan. Specifically, the 18.13g Diabolos have been outstanding performers. Nonetheless, I did purchase JSBs "Test" pack, which contained 4 different types of pellets (https://tinyurl.com/y3hh3f2w). And although I was happy with the accuracy and consistency of the 18.13 Diabolos, I wanted to at least give opportunity to other weights and designs.
My experience has been this:
The Jumbo Match Diabolo Exact Jumbo Heavy 18.13 continues to lead the pack in effectiveness, accuracy and consistency. I consider the Match Diabolo Exact Jumbo RS 13.4 to be just about equal to the 18.13 in every way. The Match Diabolo Exact Jumbo Monster 25.4 were a step down in both accuracy and consistency. Finally, the Match Diabolo Straton Jumbo 15.9 grains were the worst of the group. I constantly struggled to get consistency and accuracy.
So, having said all that, I am really curious if others have had similar results, especially with the Hatsan Flash QE. I love my Flash, and love the 18.13 JSBs. Together, at least for me, they are a deadly combination, up to say even 85-or-so yards. (I hit a blackbird at what I estimate to be about 85 yards, the farthest for me so far.)
I'd be grateful for comments one way or the other.
Thank you.
