Air Rifle Pellet Database
An Air Rifle Pellet Photographic Database (updated 19/08/09). All the pellets have been photographed at x2 life size and then resized for the database.
For a reliable source of Pellet weights and BC values I would recommend this list provided by the Chairgun site. Please note that the stated pellet weights can easily vary by at least 5% due to manufacturing tolerances, if you are using a chronograph to check your rifles power output you should consider weighing the pellets being used.
A Selection of Pellets sectioned to show their profile. All of the pellets were photographed at x2 and x3 lifesize.
It should be noted that the profiles do seem to vary depending on age, batch number and head size.
JSB Exacts, the first two digits are the die number (unless there is a dash in front in which case it is the first digit), the last two are the year of manufacture and the batch number for that year is shown below the long number. The numbers between the first two and last two are not relevant.

If you are prepared to send me upto 4 pellets of any brands that are not included in the database so I can photograph and measure them please contact me. If you see any errors I would appreciate you contacting me so that I can correct them.
Using a chronograph can be made simpler using a new software programme called Chrono Connect. This software allows a computer to be connected to your Chrony or Combro chronograph to record and analyse your pellet string data.
Another pellet list and air rifle power calculator can be found here on the Extorian website.

This is an awesome database for the air rifle pellets i’ve never seen anything quite like it. Thanks for your time for the rest of us out there!
Here in Mexico, we have some companies that build their own pellets, for example:
Mendoza
Cabañas
If you need pictures of them, I can take some.

In this photo appears Cabañas (the red one) and Mendoza (the ones that are in front of Cabañas and back, front of the Gamo Rocket., but also Gamo.
Very good job, NICE!

DB has been updated
Thanks for spotting the error
hi KEV, i think there is a listing error for the prometheus Z25, it is a .25 calibre.
you have it as a .22 calibre
@GERRY
sorted kev, just what i have been looking for. i have been collecting .22 tins, boxes and all containers, often stated with original contents.
now i can compare them, and if neccessary, re claim some money back from those who have clearly tried to deceive me and other collecters, for financial gain in the auctions.
if there are any pellets that you think i might have, that you may require, drop me a line.
how about the old jackel pellets
@photosbykev
thanks for reply GERRY .00 for me
hi its stated to weigh pellets if using a chrono would a 0.01g be adequate or would i need to go as far as 0.001g set of scales
Hi I use scales that measure to 0.1 grain
hallo kev,
what is the distance between mpe65 and the dias? do you have a werkfoto of your equipment?
if your mpe65 is wrong, you can reech the same results with old ef 28-105 + retroadapter ring
)))))

Hi Zoltan,
this is my basic setup and I use a very small studio setup to photograph the pellets. The distance from the objective to the pellets is approx 1 inch
Pellets I’d like to see: .177 Gamp Raptor P.B.A., .177 Daisy Precision Max, .177 Gamo Red Fire
I think I have at least two of those pellets waiting to be photographed. I use a Canon MP-E65 lens to photograph the pellets and that is currently away being serviced so I have a backlog of about 100 pellets waiting to be catalogued
Kev, thank you very much for a well thought out overview of the wonderful pellet selection we have available to us. I especially appreciated the listing of the pellet weight, head diameter, skirt diameter and ballistic co-efficient. Everything in one place.
Absolutely fantastic stuff Kev, so many people say air arms and JSB exacts are the same but I know by taking macro photos of pellets myself they are not the same. Nice job Kev
I have a sleeve of Lapua Air Silhouette pellets. .177 – no other info known.
Shoot me an address and I’ll send a few to you.
I’d be interested in knowing what they are (specs). They work great in my Nitro – too heavy for the R7.
Thanks,
Bill
Thank you for sharing a very worthwhile resource for all serious airgunners here. I appreciate the efforts you put into this. How can I send pellet samples from my part of the world? Again, congratulations for a wonderful site.
Thank you David,

Kev
I’d be willing to send you about 30 pellets that you don’t have. Mostly brands from US.
Your contact form is locked. How can we contact you?
sorry, I have recently changed the contact system and didn’t check it actually worked
I’ve sent you an email
regards
Kev
Thanks for the great work on compiling the info on pellets. Would like to put a link in our GTA Library. Great stuff. Thanks
Thank you for the comments, please feel free to add a link to the page
best regards
Kev

JIm
nice one
Amazing info and excellent photographs. I’d love to include the B.C.’s and muzzle velocities in my ballistic calculator… Would you mind?
Photosbykev reply: the BC information has been used, with permission, from the Chairgun site it would be appropriate to contact the author directly to ask for clearance but it is public information
best regards
Kev
theres no .20 cals shown where do we send the pellets samples ?
Photosbykev response: please check your email
Good Job, Great work Thank you !
Blimey Kev. This database gets bigger and better by the day. Great work. Love the rest of your site too.
We are going to be at the IWA at Hall 5-144.

Tony
