Here you will find pellets from Diana, the German manufacturer best known for its air rifles. Pellets from the same maker as your rifle are a natural place to start when you are looking for the ammunition your barrel shoots best.

The range consists of Diana High Power pellets in 4.5 mm (.177) in tins of 400 pcs.

What to look for

  • Calibre: The pellets are 4.5 mm and only fit 4.5 mm air guns. For 5.5 mm you need other pellets.
  • Testing: An individual barrel often shoots more accurately with one pellet type than another. Try a few different ones on the target before you buy in bulk.
  • Storage: Keep the tin closed, so the pellets don't get deformed or dusty.

Who it's for

For anyone shooting a 4.5 mm air rifle or air pistol – especially a Diana rifle. You will find more pellets under pellets, and the rifles under Diana air rifles.

Quick guide Which pellets should you choose?

Three things decide it: calibre, head shape and weight. Here is the short version.

1CalibrePellets must match your air gun. The calibre is marked on the barrel or in the manual.
4.5 mm.177 · the most commonFlat trajectory. Target shooting, plinking and pest control.See 4.5 mm pellets → 5.5 mm.22 · more knock-down powerHeavier pellets that retain their energy better. Check the regulations in your country.See 5.5 mm pellets →
6.35 mm.25 · for high-power PCPsHeavy projectiles for specialised use. Check the regulations in your country.
2Head shapeThe shape decides what the pellet does best.
WadcutterTarget shooting at 10 m. Clean holes in the target.
DomedAll-round. Flies best at longer range.
PointedDeeper penetration at short to medium range.
Hollow pointHollow tip that expands on impact.
SlugsOnly for high-power PCPs. H&N recommends at least 25 J.
3WeightLight pellets for low power, heavy pellets for powerful air guns and longer range.
Light4.5 mm: 0.51 g · 5.5 mm: 0.93 gTarget shooting and low-power air guns
Medium4.5 mm: 0.55–0.67 g · 5.5 mm: 1.03–1.17 gAll-round for most air rifles
Heavy4.5 mm: 0.87 g and up · 5.5 mm: 1.64 g and upHigh-power PCP air rifles and longer range

The weights are examples from the JSB Exact range.

Test a few tins. Every barrel has its favourite pellets. Buy 2–3 different ones, or a sample pack, and shoot them at the same distance. The number after the calibre (e.g. 4.50, 4.51 or 4.52) is the head diameter, and a single hundredth of a millimetre can make a difference.
