Accurate, reasonable price for the 500 quantity in a tin, screw top lid.

Dirty on the fingers

These are the best pellets I have found for my Marauder with the factory settings. They group into 1/3" at 25 yards. They are almost identical to the Crosman Premier HP in 14.3, but I get a strange flier every 15 shots using the Crosman's. The PCP's are dead on target every shot and they are only 1 dollar more that the HP Premiers in the 500 count tin.

cost, value

quality, very dirty pellet among the most lead particles left on fingers and in barrel of all pellets that i have tried. Your going to be cleaning your guns often when using this pellet.

Not bad if you dont mind cleaning your gun often.

Good price, nice quality control.

Cleaner pellets.

Nice shooting pellets, very good quality control, haven't seen any deformed pellets in my can, no to very little flashing. Seems to be a lot of lead dust on these, dirties up you fingers quick. Pretty much crossman hollow point premier at a lower price as far as I can tell. Overall good value priced pellets for hunting, target shooting, or whatever.

At 25 meters on a 600 fps rifle 1 in 3 appears to be on the mark. One will curve right 3 inches and the other will curve left 3 inches. I can see the curve. This may be a problem with the barrel rifling or the shooter, but at 50 meters they fairly consistently hit within 6 inches. I have not properly sighted my 1000+ fps rifle, but the shots are mostly within 12" at 50 meters. 2-3 pellets on the first can I used were bad.

nothing

if you are just plinking or scaring off the varmints, obviously, good value for the price.

The enormous accuracy!

When I opened the can, I already saw a few damaged pelletskirts. Also, a lot of lead-dust. I had really black fingers after 100 shots.

I only tried them in my Shinsung Career Infinity and they work really fine. A good choice although they look a little poor...

price

personally I think these are just Crosman Premiers that didn't make the grade. I found a very inconsistent skirt size and thus weight variance in the tin I purchased. Maybe I just got a bad batch, but I wasn't impressed...ok up to 30 yds but not great.

Very uniform and fit the breach correctly. Hard hitting. good for hunting. easy to get

at least 500 per tin ,

not accurate after 40 yards.

These are VERY accurate in my RWS 350 Magnum (1/4in groups at 20 yards

have only had a very few with bad bases

Very good pellets for the money

The size and uniformity of the manufacture are good.

These did not shoot well in my Mendoza RM600. These along with the Crosman Premier would tumble and group about 3-4 inches @ 25 yards.

Of the 3 that I have tested so far, the Gamo 16.2gr. Master Point seems well wuited to my Mendoza RM600. From what I have read, the Mendoza likes heqavy pellets, so I will be testing some heavier pellets through the RM600.

Pretty consistent in shape. Flight pattern looks good and the POI has been very consistent @ 10 yd & 25 yd. I have had 3 bad skirts in my tin and am half way through it.

They really need to be cleaner you get dirty fingers after just a few shots. Maybe add some rubberized paint to the bottom of the tin so it will stick to a surface for one handed lid removal.

Same shape as the BM FTS DBBL Gold but have a small HP well in the tip.

Accurate, good price for .22 pellet. Screw on lid tin.

They could be cleaner.

These shoot great from my Benjamin Discovery. They are almost as accurate as the Crosman Premiers. They look identical to the Crosman hollow points and the premiers in shape only with the hollow point. Getting .5 inch groups very consistently at 25 meters with these. Great choice for a less costly hunting pellet. You may want to look at the premiers or the jsb's for 50 meter shooting.

fairly accurate!

make it a litle bit cleaner!

this pellet is almost the same as .22 cal crossman hollow point.

vary accurate out of my benjamin 392

vary dirty fingers were black after just a few pellets

very accurate, hard hitting, uniform. i set up a 5x3 in target at 50-60 yards

PRICE!!!!!

my can didnt come with the black coating that others have complained about. i set up a 5x3 in target at 50-60 yards. HIT using my benjamin 392. the can says pcp but it works it my pump rifle fine

Accurate and hard hitting in my Crosman 2240, 2250, 2250XT, 2200, 1322 guns. Also works great in my QB79. Uniform sizing, much much better than the Crosman HP (same weight).

Lower the price. I purchased these a few weeks ago, and now they have raised the price over 15% .... there are no valid excuses, lead prices have DROPPED, not raised.

Very good overall pellet.

They cycle beautifully through my air arms S410 clip. They are very accurate. At 15 yds. I had one hole groups with my Air Arms S200. They have very good ballistic coefficent.

They are a little dirty on the fingers, but oh well. Long as they shoot consistently. Must be a graphite based lube. May keep your barrel from leading and provide a little more lubricity, which may give you a couple more Feet Per Second, Which is a good thing.

Great value for 500 tin of pellets. THe tin has a screw on lid.

Price, decent accuracy, uniformity.

I don't know what the dirty crap is on these pellets - I think it may a light graphite coating that serves to lubricate. What I DO know is that they leave your hands very dirty!

good, hard hitting pellet in my super streak. good for pest control

to crosman: stop putting that black crap on the pellets and clean them before you package them. there is a lot of lead flaking and graphite that needs to be removed to achieve any accuracy

they are identical to the crosman premier hollowpoints. wash them.... soap and warm water, then use a little lube of your choice. improves consistancy and causes fewer fliers

Price - seems to be the only pellet as good as this one in its price range. Almost every gun I've tried like 'em (although there have been a few exceptions)

Less flashing on the pellets! Hopefully Crosman will keep up the QC on these.

With pyramyd's '4 for 3' deal, the price on these gets down to $6/tin, and if you buy a boatload of them you don't even have to pay for shipping. The next closest decent pellet, price-wise, would be the Gamo Match pellet... which some guns certainly do well with. But at longer range (60 yards) I found that the Gamo Match just scatters waaayyyyy too much no matter what is shooting it. When I shoot the Benji's at this range the target paper gets torn and pushed back when the pellet hits (not punched cleanly), and I can usually see a little round circle on the paper where the pellet went through. This is an impression left from the hollow point tip, and shows that the pellet is still flying straight when it gets to the target, which greatly contributes to this pellet's good accuracy at that range.

My only reservation is that in the past, Crosman's identical sister pellet (the Premier HP) has had some sever QC issues - and one batch I got shot VERY badly. That was a couple of years ago, so hopefully that was only a fluke that will not repeat itself.

Price relative to quality. These are great. Work just fine in velocities of 600-750 fps for informal plinking. These are my low cost plinkers. Screw top package.

I would like to see them in 15.0 gr or slightly more to see what they will do in the more powerful rifles. Some deformity in mine at the back end but nothing too bad.

Out of a powerful rifle at 20 yds these pellets will tumble upon contact in a consistant manner in most medium I tried. At 30 yds they will flatten nicely. They seem to be on the hard side . These pellets hold together well at all speeds.
