RWS Diabolo Basic .177 Pellets – 7.0 gr

A lightweight .177 flat-head pellet developed for economical training, plinking and short-range target shooting.

The 7.0 gr weight makes RWS Diabolo Basic particularly suitable for lower-powered air rifles and air pistols, while its wadcutter head produces clean, clearly defined holes in paper targets.

RWS officially lists Diabolo Basic for training, plinking, 10 m air rifle and 10 m air pistol use.

ONE77 Pellet Fit Guide

Recommended For: Lower-powered spring-piston rifles, target air rifles, CO₂ airguns and air pistols

Best Use: 10 m paper targets, training, recreational target shooting and economical plinking

Use Frequency: Excellent short-range training pellet

ONE77 Note: At only 7.0 gr, Diabolo Basic is considerably lighter than an 8.4–8.5 gr everyday domed pellet. That makes it particularly interesting for lower-powered airguns and short-range target work. Its flat head is excellent for clean paper holes, but for longer-distance outdoor shooting we would normally test a domed pellet instead.

RWS itself specifies this pellet for both rifles and pistols and lists applications including plinking and 10 m shooting.

Please Note

Pellet performance remains barrel-specific. The flat-head profile is primarily intended for short-range target and recreational shooting rather than longer-distance aerodynamic performance.
