Page 6 - Crosman Premier .22, .22 Reviews

Good price. Pellets seem uniform and good packaging.

Nothing

Occasionally a pellet tears the paper. This is typical of a pellet tumbling. It can probably be attributed to a less than perfect skirt. That said these pellets work well for my use. The gun is a Gamo Swarm Maxxim in .22.

Good performance for the money. Domed pellets are good general use pellets.

Not much to change, they are good value for the money.

I tend to run these thru all my airguns first doing a shakedown break in. have had some air rifles that loved these more than others. But each airgun is different. Bore size is the key and these are mostly consistent size and shoot well.

This happens to be the pellet that works best in my gun. Screw on lid. Yes!

Nothing

Cheap reliable and easy to find in stores

This is a good inexpensive general round for target and small pest control. This round generally did not do well at longer distances on most of my PCP airguns, but when I tested with the Hatsan Flash .22 I got pretty good grouping 25 - 35 yards (dime to quarter) and acceptable grouping at 50 yards (1.5"<).

The pellets could be a little cleaner, always a lot of loose lead particles in the can and inside the skirts. You usually can blow it off, but not always.

I would get just one tin to test with, and if you find a winning combo, these are reasonable enough to use for everyday general shooting.

Good price, consistent, plentyful

Good price per shot, pretty consistent shape.

With the Benjamin Roge NP2 .22 the best group I could get at 25 yards was 2.5 inches.

Accuracy, velocity, and grain weight of 14.3 grains. The design: shallow skirt that does not extend into the dome/head of pellet, making it low drag. The dome/head is solid, will not expand/mushroom as much as other pellets. When this pellet hits, it hits hard, smashing through bone, penetrating further than mushrooming pellets. The shallow, low drag skirt, allows the Premier pellets to have and maintain a higher velocity, at more distance, over other pellets that have a deeper skirt cavity that creates more drag. 500 for less than $10.00. Accuracy and velocity. The screw on lids on tins. The red, white, and blue color tins that say, Made in USA.

NOTHING!

Look at Straight Shooters Umarex Octane Pellet Tests. Tested were over 25 pellets in both calibers, .177 and .22 calibers. Velocities tested were: muzzle, 10 yds, 25 yds, and 50 yds. Ballistic coefficiency was also tested. The comparison was very interesting. Tom Gaylord said good things about the Crosman Premiers in his Academy article on pellets. My go to pellets.

good value for money

i test the head size by Pellet Gage, most of them are 5.54mm to 5.53 mm for your reference. I didn't make a full accuracy test yet, but seem not too bad

Clean, tough skirt (seems to have less damage in container than flimsy skirts), consistent groups.

More pellets in a can.

Find YOUR sweet pellet. These work for me. They pimp the hollow points, but those do not work for me. Use the one that hits the mark. If you miss... it is cheaper to throw a stone... ;o)

good value pellet

increase size uniformity

shoots pretty well in everything I own

A good shooting pellet and a good value for the money.

Nothing.

These are a good old standby pellet. For the money they're hard to beat.

He's work great in my Crosman 1322

Nothing

This is a pretty good pellet for the money. Shoots pretty well in many different air guns.

These shoot very nice, group perfectly out of both my .22 cal gamo guns (swarm and urban22), uniformed, cheap $ compared to some of the other options.

Nothing

Try these out!

these are the most accurate ammo in my .22 caliber air rifles......makes target shooting affordable.

even lower price HA!

pay attention when you pick them out of the can ...of course at this price you can't expect every pellet to be perfect.

verry clean accurate no deformed pellets

nothing

shooting out of a benjamin armada

It is very accurate

Well, to me, this is the "gold standard" by which all other pellets are judged and has been for many, many years. This is an excellent pellet, accurate in about every gun with a straight barrel. These shoot straight, whether being shot fast or slow. To me, the hollow point in this pellet is just as accurate. Wonderful pellet.

I give these a 4.5 overall. Size and shape are not consistent but accuracy still is. I run these out of my Diana K98 and a Crosman Shockwave and these pellets are very accurate out of both. They are just as accurate as premium brands at half the cost and come with a screw top lid which should be the standard. I find very very few bad skirts in any can of these. I cant say the same for JSB and AA pellets which I'm not sure if it's my luck but have consistently received tins with 20%-30% pellets with bent or severely damaged skirts. At $14-$18 a tin for high end pellets I'm finding myself shoorting way more Crosman pellets. Their accuracy has been consistent in my rifles and you can't beat the price especially for plinking and target practice.

I would like to see more consistency of the size of these pellets but it hasn't seemed to affect accuracy in my rifles so what can I say. Only other issue is these pellets are very dirty compared to many other brands. Crosman, give em quick rinse before you send em out.

Not saying these pellets will work in your rifle but I've found them accurate in many and again for the price you can't beat them for plinking or even pest control. These pellets blast through 1/2 plywood or wood fencing at 20 yds from a 850-900fps rifle
