Things I liked:

SCREW on lid! 10.5 gr. is a great compromise between velocity and power. Good value....... however. Great penetration, when you can get a consistent grouping with them!

Things I would have changed:

Quality control is lacking here, mold marks, deformed skirts, and a lot of variance in the size. Some dropped in (literally), and others had to be forced into barrel. I seemed to get more accurate groupings from my Remington NPSS (RNP77) with them, but with the Benjamin Trail NP XL they were all over the place. Which I don't quite get considering they're both technically Crosman airguns (and the XL has a very long barrel too). Come on guys get up to par with your Q.C.!!

What others should know:

Maybe I just got a crappy batch......!?!?

    Excellent accuracy for high powered rifles only (1000+ fps)

    Things I would have changed:

    Nothing, these are great

    What others should know:

    Please everyone, quit saying these pellets are dirty. They have a graphite coating added to them, it's a powdered lubricant to allow the pellets to glide through the barrel easier and also to prevent the lead from oxidizing in the container. These pellets do NOT need to be cleaned but left as is because the graphite coating is SUPPOSED to be there so your rifle barrel is not damaged.

    Things I liked:

    The weight of the pellets, The tin cover picture, and the were exceptionally accurate in the Benjamin Discovery.

    Things I would have changed:

    Some of the pellets had extra lead around the seam of the pellet and were kind of hard to push in to the breech of my Benjamin discovery therefore resulting in a flyer, but only about 25 of them had the extra lead so It wasnt that bad, and the pellet was very dirty so I ask crosman to please improve their Quality Control Just a little

    What others should know:

    Great for the Benjamin Discovery Very Accurate u get your moneys worth

    Things I liked:

    consistent snug fit/acurate/hard hitting/excellant packaging by Pyramyd Air/buy three,get one can free/screw top lid.

    Things I would have changed:

    all good!

    What others should know:

    Best group of all pellets I have tried. My Benjamin nitro piston 1500 Trail NP XL likes heavy's. Make sure you optically center your scope and shim or file your ring mounts to get the most out of your rifle and pellets accuracy. Pyramyd Air has info on this subject,although I understand adjustable rings are hard to find. I just filed and shimmed the clamping arms of the rings.I shot way high and way right after optically centering the scope. After fileing the rear rings mating surface to the mount rail,it lowered the ring,and put the cross hairs up to the hole in the target. I then shimmed the front ring mount surface(using soda can alum.) to move the scope to the right,thus putting it on target with the hole. Now you fine tune with scope adjustments. It's a good idea to check ring allignment before snugging the scope down.

    Things I liked:

    Pellets are very uniform and fit great for my marauder. .25" c-t-c @ 30yds 950fps.

    Things I would have changed:

    A little dirty but without it, marauder doesn't like it.

    What others should know:

    Best pellet I've found so far for shots within 30 yds. Groups very consistently and hits game without holding back. Up to date, I haven't been able to recover any pellets from the game that I've shot, but the exit and entry holes have been approx. .200" in diameter in a pigeon shot @ 45 yds. Even thought these pellets pass through, none of the game that I've shot have needed a second shot. Very noticable "thwak" when ever the pellet connects. These pellets seem to be pretty hard in comparison to Beeman Kodiak double gold and H&N Kodiak Match.

    Things I liked:

    They tend to group consistently in my Marauder at 25 yards and they have plenty of punch at 10.5 grains.

    Things I would have changed:

    The quality control. These pellets are very poorly shaped. I'd say 50 % of the tin I received have excess lead surrounding the hollowpoint of the pellet. This "extra" creates a visible lip on the pellet and 9 times out of 10, these deformities cause the pellet to go off target.

    What others should know:

    These pellets would be fantastic if they were uniform in shape. As it stands, I would not purchase these pellets (this tin came with my Marauder package).

    Things I liked:

    Nice screw-top tin.

    Things I would have changed:

    Improve casting accuracy. Diameter is inconsistent to the point some pellets will fall from the breech. Mold line feathers should not exist.

    What others should know:

    This pellet does not exhibit attention to detail which would make it comparable to other brands and styles in the same category. Of the variety of pellets I have tried with my TX200, this is the only one which produces distinguishable fliers. They are not frequent but they do exist and I have no explanation except variation in front band diameter and mold line presence.

    Things I liked:

    Price, Quality, Accuracy, Impact Power (With my Discovery - I have literally destroyed my Gamo Target Trap and a Beeman Arcade Trap), Uniformity (BTW I believe this is their secret to sucess - weight deviation is but 0.0386 grains/load !!!).

    Things I would have changed:

    Quantities available for purchase should be higher.

    What others should know:

    Part of the "dirt" that some users complain of is actually the lubricant used by Crosman Arms. This load shoots equally well in all my air weapons (B/S Pumper, Discovery, TX200 MkIII).

    Things I liked:

    After I bought my Benjamin Discovery air rifle, I tried a number of different pellets to see which performed the best in the rifle. The Benjamin Discovery .177 pellet was one brand that ranked right up there for accuracy. My rifle seemed to like heavier pellets. I also liked the screw top can that the pellets come in.

    Things I would have changed:

    As mentioned by other posts, these pellets seem a little dirtier than others.

    What others should know:

    I use these pellets in my Benjamin Discovery to "control" the local racoon population. These pellets hit hard and give me the penetration I look for for an effective one shot one kill head shot. So far I have given 6 racoons a headache.

    Nothing, they left a lot of dirt in your fingers but is ok.

    To heavy for some air rifles, but i was amazed how bad the big cat handle this one.
