Page 8 - Benjamin .25 Cal, .25 Reviews

Great pellet for the Benjamin Maurader, shoots as well as the the JSB's in my opinion but are easier to find in stock.

Larger count tin. As mention in previous review it would make them more affordable and comparable to the JSB's price wise.

very accurate in my custom talon, and my tuned marauder. hits hard

more pellets per tin

i have a custom .25 talon called the stubby extreme, and a marauder that has been tuned for max power. they both push these pellets out in a straight line, no spiral is seen at all thru the scope, and i get 1" groups at 50 yards. a close 2nd would be the benjamin domes.

great pellet, hits like a hammer. really like the screw off top on the tin, it keeps the pellets from spilling in my field bag

nothing..

very good pellet

price

size of tin

these pellets are great for squirrel hunting and very accurate out of my marauder

nice pellets,as accurate as the jsb's but a little heavier for better penetration.

nothing.

great match to the .25 m-rod

Accurate - It was a toss-up in accuracy between the Benjamin pellets and the JSB Exact Kings. Both pellets shot extremely well from my Benjamin Marauder .25 cal.

While the 200 ct. tins of Benjamin and JSB Exact Kings are pretty much the same, with the JSB Exact Kings being available in 350 ct. tins, they become a bit more affordable than the Benjamin pellets. 4.6 cents (JSB) vs. 5.2 cents (Benjamin).

Accurate, hard hitting Great for shooting .22 lr spinner targets! Also well made tin

make a 500 count tin!

Very accurate with Hatsan 125 Sniper spring gun. Fun to shoot spinner targets with!

Clean, shiny, consistent.

Sell them by 250 or 500 per can.

These print just great in my Marauder .25. Skirts are not delicate!

Pellets weight, consistency, price, and accuracy out of a Hatsan 125 sniper

make a 300-500 count tin

these are good quality US made pellets

Everything.

More in tin please.

These and JSB exact kings are all I will use right now in my marauder. Stock and untuned.

These pellets look tough and I do like crosman products. I love the screw-on-lid on crosman/benjamin pellet tins. These pellets are running about 690fps in my stock Talon SS and group around 1/2 to 3/4 inchs at 35 yards. Not the best by far but each barrel is different.

Crosman seems to have a problem with pellets being different sizes. I noticed this in .22 crosman premiers first and now with the .25 Domes. Some pellets fit tight and some fit loose (occasionally, one will fall out of my Talon SS). If they could get this under control, these pellets would be the top of the list for me.

I did shoot some very tight groups with these pellets when I removed the loose fitting pellets and sorted for weight but this is too time consuming and expensive as I lost about 50% of the pellets in the tin doing it this way. Again, my barrel may be a bit "loose".

Very clean! Very uniform in size and shape! I could be lucky but I didn't have one deformed pellet in my tin. Great weight!

tin of 500ct and maybe make a 35gr-40gr domed pellet in the same exact shape

I've got a .25 Marauder and a .25 custom air rifle that love these pellets. My Mrod spits them out around 850fps and my custom spits them out at 980fps. Very accurate out of both of my rifles. Great for long distance - 50 yards plus.

They shoot far, they shoot straight, they hit hard and they group like nobody's business at 20yrds. They group well at 50 yds as well. Their weight is very consistent; probably 90+% right at 28.7gn with the rest at 28...and a couple at 27.6. Not bad. No bent skirts that I can see in the last few cans. Oh, there might be better out there but you can't go wrong with these.

Nothing

Most Marauder .25 owners swear by the JSB Exact Kings. I do too, but I was surprised to learn that my gun shoots the Benji Domed just a smidge better. But again that's in MY gun, and I do lube these and i don't lube JSB's. At further distances I think that the JSB's, being a bit lighter, drop less and might squeek by the Benji's but more comparison tests are needed. Your mileage may vary.

Accuracy and overall performance. Good quantity for the money.

Cleaner and better quality control

These pellets are a good choice if you are looking for an economical pellet to plink, target shoot or hunt with. Out of my Sumatra .25 i get 1160 FPS with these, and they are accurate!! I hit plastic golf balls at 70 yards easily. At 100 yards they dont drop much at that speed. Very close to a .22 LR round in speed. Hit hard too. If you want a good economical and accurate pellet, try these. I am sure you will not be disappointed. Try them.

Just bought a new Benjamin Marauder and this was the first pellet shot through the gun.Walked the pellets click for click until the scope was perfect now after the first shot I have to shoot at bullet holes because my bullseyes are to small and this pellet hits dead center shot after shot.Excellent combination.

nothing

These pellets shot identical with Beeman Kodiak Extra Heavy Match 31.02 and are a little cheaper if your a high volume shooter.

Surprisingly the best pellet for my Daystate Air Ranger 60. Getting sub-half-inch 5-shot groups at 50 yards traveling in excess of 980 fps! Couldn't believe my eyes until I shot 12 groups in a row with the same result. Worked better than Kodiaks, Poly Mags, JSB Kings, Big Boy Seniors, Barracudas and H&N Hollow points in this rifle. Never thought my 60 ft-lb Air Ranger would prefer a lighter pellet than the Kodiaks, but 3 hours of shooting comparison groups confirmed the result. Just proves every gun has its preferences (some more fussy than others). Like other reviewers -- like the screw-on lid, thick skirt (don't need foam in the tin) and consistent shape/weight. A winner from Crosman!

Like others comment -- price, however, whenever I find pellets that work this well for a particular gun, I'm inclined to dismiss the price! A lower price would be icing on the cake. Pre-wash the pellets. Despite looking clean and shiny in the tin, these pellets dirty the fingers quickly. Contrast with JSBs -- very clean

Obviously my comments here are valid for only the gun I used. Since they did so well in the Air Ranger, anyone looking for better accuracy in a high power .25 air rifle, should at least try these. These were last on my mind to try, but I'm certainly glad I did! Every pellet review should include comments on what airguns were used. Helps readers zero in on a pellet that might work for their particular application

Great performance in my Walther Talon

Nothing

well worth the price

I use these for plinking in my marauder, in a few tins so far only a couple bent skirts not bad. They are acurrate and consistent. good pellet & better Qty than other 25 cal's.

good pellet for plinking in the basement, very accurate in my marauder,like screw top & qty

nothing

I don't use these for pests, I use BEEMAN crow magnums for that.

I like that there are 200 in a tin. Very uniform in shape. A little dirty, but you can wash them in dishwashing soap.

The price is too steep. Maybe 500 for $11 is a better deal?

Thesr shoot very well in my Walther Falcon Hunter. They produce right around 25 ft/lbs in that gun. They shoot about quarter sized groups at 15 yards. Overall, I highly recommend them.
