Good Points

Choose heavy pellets for best accuracy!


General Comments

While 1,200 f.p.s. sounds impressive, experienced airgunners know it's best to keep the terminal velocity of diabolo pellets below the threshold of the sound barrier for best accuracy. Any object traveling at or above the speed of sound (a variable velocity that remains around 1,100 f.p.s. at sea level) creates a wave of pressure through which it must pass. That wave is disruptive to shapes not streamlined for supersonic flight - which the diabolo pellet definitely isn't. The pressure wave causes the pellet to flutter in flight, resulting in demonstrably wider dispersion at any given range. And, when the pellet slows to below the sound barrier, it has to pass through its own turbulence once again.

Faster isn't always better!
Diabolo pellets, with their light weight, open skirts and pinched waists, are very susceptible to the disruptions of the sound barrier. They were designed specifically for subsonic velocity, where they perform admirably.
