Product: Crosman Destroyer .177 Cal, 7.9 Grains, Pointed, 250ct
Review entered on 2012-07-25 10:31:50Things I liked:Look scary and dangerous
Things I would have changed:Why do these even exist?
What others should know:These really solve a problem that doesn't exist. Adding the little point on the end is a marketing gimmick. Use a hollow point for good expansion and penetration, or use a wad cutter for 'destruction'. Both are cheaper and will probably be more consistent.

the reason of the point is so the center of the pellet keeps going deeper while the rim expands grinding flesh into hamburger meat try it on ballistics gel, I tryed this ones against your hollow points and wad cutters against 1/4" wood, hp & wc stayed in the wood while the destroyer cleared it leaving the rim behind at 10' with my new TR77. I have also disposed of a Armadillo with this Destroyers that is hard to accomplish ((it's all about shot placement)).... ps. the gamo Rocket is the best tho =)
Product: Crosman Premier Light .177 Cal, 7.9 Grains, Domed, 1250ct
Review entered on 2012-07-25 10:38:03Things I liked:Buying in bulk is a good value Relatively accurate in pretty much all guns
Things I would have changed:Has some flashing still on the pellets Inconsistent sizes Package is inconvenient
What others should know:Pretty much all air guns will shoot these well. They aren't really anything special. They do have size inconsistencies. Some will fit really tight in the barrel, others will be really loose. There is flashing left on from the manufacturing process. However, they will shoot good groups. I can consistently hit dime size targets at 25 yards with these in my Gamo Cat. Would I use them in competition? No. But for backyard plinking, these are a great value!

Things I would have changed:Crap scope and mounts, no iron sights, loud twang from spring
What others should know:I've put 2500 rounds through mine. With Crosman Premier, I get same hole accuracy at 25 yards. This rifle is surprisingly accurate. I often pick off Tums tablets with ease. The scope is terrible on this rifle. I've used blue Loctite, torqued to spec and shimmed it. It still drifts steadily to the point that it requires re-adjusting after only 10 shots. It refuses to hold zero under any circumstances. If you want this rifle, you have to take the price of a new scope and mount into the final price. The value drops a bit, but it's a solid rifle. Knock $30 off and sell it without a scope and it's a steal.
