Page 5 - Crosman Premier Ultra, .177 Reviews

They are not the dirties pellets I have handled.

Accuracy.

I can only speak in reference to my tuned QB78. These group horribly, several inches at less than 25 yards. The CP 7.9 flat nosed group much better than this. Results may be different in other rifles, but in QB78, stay away!

They seem to shoot well with my Crossman Nitro 177. I find that the heaver pellets just group better. FYI, I always wash my new pellets and then lightly oil them before using them,

Quantity, cost, hard-hitting and over-all quality.

Exact dimensions; although the tin, as well as the listing states 4.55mm, these are more like 4.552 because they are a VERY snug fit. Tried these in my two Benjamin Trails and two of my Gamo's, all of them required some hard pressure to get them to seat. Not being a wuss, but after shooting 30 or so per use, my thumb had a nice, round sore spot. Personally I was worried about deforming the skirts or jamming up my guns. Will try them in some of the new guns that I will be ordering soon.

Although hard hitting, and within all of my gun's preferred pellet weights [10.3 - 13.34gr], I couldn't get as tight of a group as I wished, or do with JSB Exact Heavies. For the price I bought 3 of these tins, and had never had a problem with Crosman pellets in the past, but to be a snug and difficult fit into Crosman guns? A positive note is that I have not found one single deformed pellet in all of my tins, so if they fit your guns and provide a good group for you, these are the babies you might want to try.

These shoot well for the money and are fairly heavy which is a plus for hunting. They are seldom deformed due to their antimony content, I suppose.

Fine as is.

For a little more money I think RWS Superdomes are more accurate from my guns. They are not as heavy as Super Mags, but since I don't hunt I guess I prefer accuracy.

Was well packaged for shipping, arrived quickly after ordering. I am very pleased with PA's shipping! I like Crosman still used metal canisters for their pellets. These are heavier than usual and seem well made. The skirts look very consistent so I expect these to be good to shoot.

I'm not sure why these are more than double the price for cheaper pellets, but price is about the only thing I would change to improve on.

Though these are more money, they are definitely better grade. These higher grade pellets are just not found at your local store easily if at all. Also, almost everyone I spoke with around here had no idea pellets came in such a wide variety of options including different weights! PA was the only place I knew of where I could get these pellets in this weight. I'm sure there's others, but not at my local Dick's or Wal Mart for sure. Worth the money to get the consistency though if that's what you are looking for. For just plinking cans, you will do fine with the less expensive pellets.

Accurate and hard hitting.

For the price and consistency nothing.

You might need to clean your air gun a bit more often due to resin build up in the barrel (every 380 shots vs. every 500) yet you can't find anything more accurate at a better price.

Great pellets. I prefer to order from P.A. to save money, and for the great service, but I also like ammo that is available on the shelf in a pinch.

Make a 7.9 grain version. These are the only decent domes available on the store shelf. CPHP are not bad, but I prefer domes, as do all airgunners that understand air rifles and how the kill prey. A good, accurate dome with a high BC is more lethal from longer range than any other kind of pellet. 10.5 grain pellets don't work well in all guns, especially guns on store shelves.

Good ammo, especially for ultra mag .177's, but most guns on store shelves shoot better with ammo under 9 grains.

Nothing.

Nothing.

These pellets would not work in my Umarex gun, one of out every 3 or 4 would fail to eject from the magazine and get stuck in it, I shot all 500 rounds of Crosman Super Match pellets without a single issue of this kind, had the same trouble with a different gun using plastic magazines, so the fault is not the gun or the magazines, the issue is simply poor quality control, some of the pellets just sit too tightly in the magazine bore and will not eject.

Pellets hit hard for 177 cal and very good accuracy.

Nothing

Uniformly good pellets.

Nothing

Consistent quality

I have been using these pellets for a couple of weeks now and they seem very accurate and the price is right. I have the 22 and 177 for my 1377 . I have a crossman 1077 semi automatic and these pellets are dead on with that gun and you go through lots of pellets with a semi auto. I am happy with these and will be getting another 500 soon

nothing

There are lots of pellets and you should try different ones to see what shoots best in your gun but these pellets are priced right and if you shoot a lot you cant go wrong

These have no faults that I can find. I am using them in a Beeman HW97. RWS Diana 34. Benjanim NP. and a Benjamin NP2. All shoot very well. Very accurate, very consistent. The extra weight really knocks the squirrels out of the picture. Great take down power. Great pellet for squirrels.

Nothing

Because of the extra weight, I find that they are dropping 1/2" at 50 feet. Just raising my point of aim to compensate for the drop solves the problem. It is very easy to stack holes in a target with this pellet

Excellent for any Benjamin springer/gas piston!

Squirrels hate them!

I purchased this Premier Ultra Magnum 10.50 grain pellet for use in my Ruger Air Magnun .177 air rifle. It is a perfect match. It's combination of accuracy and velocity is devastatingly deadly, if you know what I mean. Very effective on small game up to large groundhogs, which are the largest pests and garden raiders here in White Marsh. There are full grown red foxes, but they have not proven to be pesty. They are an excellent value for a tin of 500 for less than $10.00.

Nothing.

This pellet, in my opinion, is a perfect match for magnum powered springers or magnum gas pistons. I do have other pellets in the 10.00 to 12.5 grains that shoot very good, this is my favorite. I prefer dome head pellets the most. I do all of my shooting with a bipod. I have a bench, but those that go hunting, you are not going be carrying a bench around, not practical at all. I use my empty pellet tin as targets at varying distances out to a 120 feet. I unscrew the tins and drill a small thru the bottom half and screw it to a tree. I then screw the top on. They make excellent targets. Learning to make aim adjustment by using my mildots keeps me from resetting my scopes.

cost, the way my particular weapon seems to handle them; ability to "get the job done"

nothing other than I would like to see them available locally......

I haven't had the opportunity to run very many rounds through my weapon as of yet....the few I have seem to be ; accurate and pack a punch (at least as accurate as I can be...lol).....shooting a Benjamin Trail NP2.....stock scope........still haven't broken it in yet, so time will tell. I do like the fact that I have taken 2 rabbits with it so far.......with less reaction than with a firearm......

They shoot great. I will buy more.

Well, the tin. Screw cap tins are the best for me, as I am a bit clumsy.

Pellet size: I bought a tin of these years ago, and set them aside as nothing I had grouped well with them. Now years later, the guns I have now love the "old tin" CPs. The old ones fit quite snugly in the breech, and group very well. As the old tin ran out, I bought a Brown Box of Ultra Mags. They are terrible! Loose fit in the breech, and groups like a shotgun. I took the chance on some tins of the Ultras thinking maybe that was the key, and lost. They fit exactly the same (very loose) as the BB pellets. I've only tried the one new tin, and am afraid to take the others out of the package.

Seems to me that Crosman is slipping. My Brown Box .177 Ultra Mags, Brown Box .22 14.3 gr, and these tins of Ultra Magnums are all pretty bad. Consistent? Sure, they all fit loosely and group poorly. I hope this is just a bad run, and not a new regular occurrence.

These shoot consistent groups from all three of my airguns - a Beeman P17 pistol; QB78 rifle; and Gamo Silver Shadow - but not the tightest. Regardless, I'll still hold on to them for when I want to give something within 25 meters or so a good 10+ grain thump.

Nothing.

Worth a try. With their consistency I suspect some other guns might really like them

Large Tins, consistent seating, and Crosman reputation.

N.A.

Trouble is: They group (a stretch) 3-4" low from the Crosman Hollow Point and Pointed (@ 33-yds). Disappointing cuz I loaded up w/ 2K of these Ultra's under theory that a heavier pellet would be a better wind-borer and less "flighty". So much for that theory.

The price.

Sort them out by head size.

These are not the same quality pellets as the 1250pc box. Therefore more economical. None of my airguns shoot well with these.
