Page 6 - Crosman Premier .22, .22 Reviews

when i got them they were a mix a pointed and dome. i called crosman and they sent me a new box ASAP. very pleased with their customer service.

there are alot of mashed skirts with the first box. second seems alot better.

Very clean Uniformly shaped

Nothing!

These things are so accurate out of my RWS 460 Mag. One word describes these pellet....CONSISTENCY These can be used for long or short range. The only problem I can see is that if you are firing these from a springer magnum or PCP they can overpenetrate game at closer ranges.

Quality, performance consistancy, and the price paid for said quality and performance. The 600+ pellets per box isn't bad either ;-)

NOTHING... Not even the cardboard box. For the price, I'd buy these if they came in a plastic baggie.

Great quality and performance for the price. I sighted the open sights on my Benjamin 392 with these from ~30'-35' away in my basement. They produced 1/2" 5 shot groups with 2-3 hits nearly in the same spot. Once the sights were aligned, I could hit a 9mm shell case from rest almost at will. This not only speaks to the accuracy of the gun but the performance of the pellets. I do not hunt so I cannot speak to the performance of these pellets in the field.

Uniform quality and performance.

The packaging...a tin would be way better than the paper box. The side locking lids tend to bend and twist with use. The foams inside the box serves little (if any) purpose.

I have been shooting RWS (all types) for a while and all my rifles liked them (Beeman SS 1000T, CFX & Crosman Tech 1) but NOT my latest addition - the BAM B30! My Bam likes nothing BUT this Premier Domed. It gives me tight groups between 35 - 40 yards but so so for anything shorter & longer range. All my other rifles shoots below average with the Crosman, all of them did better with the RWS.

I like the concistency from pellet to pellet. All the pellets in a box are made on the same die. The die number is stamped on the bottom of the box. I like how Crosman does this, it gives a feeling of quality. Great nock down power in .22.

Packaging. They come with a foam pad above and below the pellets. A few always slip under or between it. The idea is good though, so the pellets wont get banged around. Solve this by putting them in an empty tin for easy transportation.

Very good value and quality. Most guns like them!

I compared the Crosman Premiers with seven other types in my RWS 94 at 25 and 48 yds. using a 3 X 9 scope and a rest. The Premiers produced the tightest groups especially at 48 yds. They apparently hold their stability much better at longer distances also. The other pellets spread much more between 25 and 48 yds. than the Premiers did. My Premier groups averaged 1 to 1.5" at 48 yds. (another shooter could probably do better). I saw 3 to 4" groups with most of the others. The Crosman Pointed were an exception. The "others" consisted of three types from a foreign manufacturer and four from two American manufacturers.

Nothing.

I found that I could not use a front and rear sand bag for consistant groups. What worked best for me was to hold the rifle normally with the front supported by my hand on a sand bag.

I find these pellets to not only be extreamly accurate but to be especially good for use in the higher velocity rifles primarily due I think to their weight. I can put together a grouping of 6-8 out of 10 in a bulls-eye of a gamo 5.5x5.5 target at opproximately 150 feet using a make shift barrel rest and sitting in a lawn chair, even on windy days.

Really nothing as I feel i'm getting exactly what I want and paid for.

Beginning shootists should be aware these pellets fired from a high velocity gun can have the same dangers as a .22 cal. short at even 40 yards.

Awesome pellets!

None

These are the most accurate pellets I have found for my RWS 54. Great shot to shot consistency. Much more accurate than some pellets costing almost twice as much.

N/A

The most bang for your buck....

Pellets perform as expected. Concistency of pellet form.

N/A

I bought two boxes of the Crosman Premier's in .22, but there were too many .20 pellets mixed with the .22's in the first box I counted at least 35. In the second box I have found so far about 6 .20's.
