Page 9 - Crosman Premier .177, .177 Reviews

the accuracy and consistency, the screw on lid is nice. every animal i hit with these has bled considerably. crossman lubricates these with graphite, and it helps keep my barrel clean

the metal itself is an alloy and thus not as soft as pure lead. use pure lead and boost the expansion.

these pellets do expand but not much, they are too hard and the cup of the hollow point is too small. still not bad choice for hunting, i have killed a couple squirrels with these pellets.

I use these in my Gamo CFX, and can get 0.25 inch groups at 25 yards. I was able to take a small sparrow at 40 yards with them.

kinda dirty on the fingers, would be nice if they were cleaner.

These pellets are pretty hard, so they don't really expand like other hollow points, and shoot right through small game.

accurate and cheep theses are the 2nd pellets i ever tried and got really good acuracy out of my pumpmaster 760 and not bad out of my beeman dual eather

well it dose not expand at all wich is what a hollow point is for so that dropped a star or two

not bad for plinkin around these arnt really for hunting tho these are what killed most any thing iv ever killed with a pellet gun ig not a bad pellet

WARNING - Well, like nearly everyone else, I have tried my share of brands and styles of pellets in .22, and .177 cals. As to the Premier H.P., I have fired 1200 (.177) of them thru my Crosman 1377, and 500 (.22) thru my RWS mod. 34 and untill today I've found them as good as other more expensive pellets in every way. HOWEVER ....

More consistant quality control.

HOWEVER ... today I purchased another tin of .22's and I'm very unhappy with these. The Premiers normally are a snug fit in the barrel of both of my guns, but this bunch has about 50% or more that are downright LOOSE fitting. I'm talking "Fall out of the barrel loose". On about the third shot from this new tin I noticed that the pellet was a VERY loose "drop fit" in the chamber. I closed the barrel (break barrel) and lined up on the target and fired. The gun made a loud noise I've never heard before and there was no hole in the target. I thought that they had accidently had put a .20 pellet in the tin and when fired it went wild. Two shots later I load another loose pellet and as I'm closing the barrel I happen to see the pellet fall out. Upon looking, I find 2 pellets on the concrete. That means that I DRY FIRED MY SPRINGER two shots before, because of these loose pellets. I got my micrometer and checked a few pellets and found they were random in size and several that were .004 smaller than others. I didn't check the dropped one (I pitched it when I got PO'ed about the dryfire) but I bet it was smaller yet. WARNING - you may seriously damage your gun firing the Crosman Premier Hollow Point pellets.

Accuracy is very good. Very fast pellet due to weight.

A little dirty on the fingers, not sure if this could be fixed.

Overall, great pellet for the money

Everything

some of the skirts were a little bigger

every pelet in this tin hits the same spot

good grouping

none

Try these pellets in the big cat and simular gamo line of springers. The most acurate pellet I have found in these guns and I have tried dozens

Superbly consistent, uniform size and shape, no seams or excess flash on any pellet I examined, no deformed skirts.

Nothing

These are the best pellets for the money, probably second only to super-high quality match pellets. They group very well and are very accurate in my Nightstalker, although not so much in my 1077. But that is doubtless due to the 1077 rather than the pellets since it has never been superbly accurate with any pellet I have tried.

I like the shape and how it fits in my Crossman Phantom and how it expands when it hits the target. I have seen no demormities yet and will eventually make this my universal pellet.

Nothing.

They can be a little dirty, but overall they're nice. They work better at a closer range.

Awesome pellets! No deformities and nicely lubricated. These shoot out of my Gamo Big Cat 1200 at and around 1,000 fps.. I can shoot a 2" group at 50 yards with no problem. These pellets blow right through small game and pests outwards of 30 yards.

Nothing!!!

Great penetration and expansion. Nice, tight fit in the barrel of my Gamo Big Cat 1200.

accurecy,price,screw lid and the quality.i really like everything i have tried in crossman products.

nothing needs changed ,these are a very good pellet at a very good price.especially if you get them from pyramydair.

i allways put a few drops of beeman chamber oil in each tin of pellets,which appears to aid accuracy and my fingers dont get black

Packaging - the screw-on lid is the way to go!

Nothing.

Not very accurate or consistent velocity in my 34 Pro Compact. May be OK in guns with less power.

I have tested more than 15 pellets in my Gamo CFX including JSB, and regular domed premiers from the box. These pellets are the most accurate round time after time. They shoot hard with more than 14 Ft lbs. or about 900 FPS. They are also pretty cheap and expand pretty well. Very consistent.

A bit dirty on the fingers

Great expansion and great short-range penatration.

There is always some resudue on all the bullets, it doesn't mess with the aero-dynamics but is just a nusiance.It can be anoyying to have lead residue on your fingers.

These pellets work best with airguns with a high fps like the phantom and other guns with aroung 1000fps. Not really good with air pistols. I tested different pellets for expansion and this one did great.

These are probably the most consistent firing pellet that I have used. Sighted my Gamo Shadow in with these pellets, and will continue using them. I can get just over a 1" group at 35 yards, shooting the center out of my bullseye. They also shoot equally well with my Airhawk. I like shooting grapes at 30 yards, dont know why, maybe because they explode......I guess its the kid in me :)

Make them in a lead free version, 1gr. or so lighter, would be awesome!!!

Best thing to do is try them, get a small can and see for yourself. They are inexpensive, so you can shoot alot and not go broke. If you like them, sight your gun using these pellets and stick with them.

They were a freebie with my Crosman Nitro purchase...so didn't expect much. After trying several different brands/configurations....breaking in and getting used to the rifle, I was quite satisfied with the accuracy I was getting. As an afterthought tried the premier HP and man they shine in Nitro.

These are the dirtiest pellets I've ever handled. Expect something could be done to clean them up.

The Nitro loves-em.... but they're ho-hum in my other two guns.

these rounds are pretty good, not much deformities and suckers are accurate. use them also as the wadcutters. they go well with all my riffles. and fire clean

none

of course i haven't done any forensics on a dead rat with these pellets, so as far as hollow point goes who knows. i guess for it to be effective use a high fps riffle, close.

Works as advertised, quality control is very good. Packs a good punch, pretty accurate for a hollow point !

A little cheaper would be nice !

If you're looking for a good .177 hollow point pellet for a fair price, get the Crosman Premier Hollow Points !

everything....theese work great and pack a punch in my gamo 890s

Nothing

Not for multishot pistols

deadly accuracy in my sumatra was able to get same hole shots at 30ft , cool looking, the price and how many pellets you get is extremely fair.

maybe the price? or add more?

stock up on this ammo, they won't disappoint
