Page 21 - Crosman Premier .22, .22 Reviews

Of 9 different pellet types, these shot the best in my BSA lightning XL. 3/4 inch groups at 30 yrds from a bag rest was easy. The PREMIERS had very few flyers.

I read so much about the JSB EXACTS that I expected them to shoot the best, but the premiers were much more consistant. PYRAMYD'S packaging was top-notch, I didn't find any dented cans or deformed pellets. These are worth a try in any airgun.

Seems to be very consistent sizes based on my "feel" when seating a pellet. Shoots really well in my Crosman Quest 800. One hole groups at 10 Meters.

I don't really think the tiny hollow point helps expansion much. These pellets blow right through 1/2 exterior plywood from my Quest 800 at 10 meters. I'd eliminate the hollow point in favor of a regular doom shape head.

These are excellent long range pellets in my Quest 800. With plenty of penetration down range in spite of the hollow point design.

This is an excellent hard hitting and accurate pellet.In my opinion the crosman premier and the JSB diabolo are the two best and most consistent weight pellets around ! I am shooting out of an Air Arms S410 XTRA FAC.

The fact that its dome shaped as well as hollowpoint

Make the pellets better quality and improve the size/shape distribution.

The pellets are very very dirty. Size distribution is very inconsistent.

Nice and consistant in all my 22xx customs .22 Cal AG's

Nothing

Everything. Price is excellent, accuracy is very good and the screw on tin is helpful. Can't beat the overall value (price, quantity and quality).

Nothing about this pelet in general, but I would like to see the same pellet in just domed without the hollow point and similar price range.

This is probably the best ammo deal you can get and still end up with quality pellets.

great pellet... one shot kills on squirrels with my super streak, consistent shape size and weight

wash them before they leave the factory and dont put that graphite like coating on them

i noticed a couple pellets with the expansion cups a little off center otherwise ya can't go wrong with them

I too have the RWS .22 Panther and these pellets shoot the best. They also are the most efficient that I've found in this gun. I get about 16.5-17 ft lbs (735-745-fps). They seem to group as well if not better than JSB's 15.8 grain pellets and shoot no differently than the more expensive CP's. With a little practice I am closing in on groups a little bigger than the size of a quarter at 35 yards.

Tend to give off more lead dust then other pellets, but really what can you expect? Just be sure to wash your hands well after use.

I think these pellets are mixed with some alloy to make the lead a little bit harder. Therefore, I've found that they don't expand quite as well as some of the other round nose pellets. They give penetration that is on part with some of the pointed pellets. Like all airguns, even of the same make and model, test a variety of pellets before you decide upon the accuracy of your gun. I think that you'll find these pellets to perform very well at their current price point.

Gave me a very pleasant surprise to see my shots at 10 yards start grouping rather tightly after switching from Daisy .22 pellets that shot all over the place. It seems that my RWS 34 Panther .22 loves this pellet. The price is very reasonable.

Make pellets cleaner. Tips of my fingers were black after shooting a few pellets.

It's cheap and good for plinking.

Different pellets work better on different air-rifles that's kind of the rule of thumb in this hobby. For me not so good they are very dirty, turning my fingers black and the skirt is too short to give good BC in my model 34. The worse part is that I used these to scope in and I could hit any pest, I was worried that it was the main spring but when I tried using other pellets that they all shot fine and much higher than the Crosman.

Screw on lid means screw it on, don't snap it. It'll take a hammer to get it open.

It is as hard as steal

Make a true lead version of it that mushrooms

This pellet hits like steal. Do not expect it to mushroom EVER. But do not let this stop you from buying this pellet as the groups at 40 yards are nickel size & the price is great. I kind of like the fact that this thing will not deform as the penetration is great.

Hard hitting pellet, Very accurate and arrived clean and did not form while shipping. The hard screw case was a plus also. Very nice product.

Make the hollow point larger and the lead not as hard.

Dont leave the pellets out of its case, it loses its shine.

Nothing

Personally... I know that these pellets MAY not be as bad as I am stating in my evaluation... BUT MY TALON SS HATES THEM... that's why I am giving them this value... I get 20yrds groups of 5" or less..... At 20yrds I am supposed to get 1/2" with an AirForce 4-16x50 scope!! I couldn't even zero in the scope since the shots were to the right, left, up, down... RANDOM... Go for them if you don't have a Talon SS....... or probably my tins were defective,,, who knows...... BUT, i can assure you that I have used them on my Gamo Whisper .177 and they work fabulously...

very good penetration and fair accuracy, but these pellets do not fit very tight in the barrel of my walther falcon hunter. i got a squirrel today with one shot to the head from about 30 feet away. Overall a very good pellet.

i wish crosman wouldnt make these pellets so dirty and these pellets are also very hard

these are hard pellets so do not expect them to mushroom on impact unless they hit steel or something

Accurate, cheap, uniform, good downrange energy, nice tin with secure lid.

Make pellet from pure lead, lube with wax, enlarge hollow point.

These pellets will leave your fingers black, will leave your barrels dirty, and will penetrate your target more than a hollow point should.

Very accurate and hard hitting. Very clean and consistant. Very affordable! The best pellet I have used so far in my Mendoza RM 2000. These pellets have never jammed in the breach of the Mendoza seven shot magazine as have the recommended Mendoza ammo or RWS Superdomes (which were much better than the Mendoza ammo).

Nothing.

Buy and use these before they catch on and raise the price!

These are terrific pellets for your money, they're very accurate in all my guns. In targets like soup cans, they tear the can up. (I use a Wadcutter for paper)PLUS PLUS PLUS for any screw on lid!!! The hollow point puts a lot of lead at whatever you hit. I shot Gopher's dead at 30 yards with no problem. Crossman does a great job! They fit snug and consistent in ALL my guns.

The lead could be a bit softer! I would like to see a larger spread on impact. Other than that....NOTHING. BUY THESE PELLETS... You won't be disappointed.

Like all lead pellets, Don't forget to wash your hands after use, Thanks!

Fit, consistency, penetration, value for money

nothing

best value for money, has been a top performer in all of my rigs

Accurate! PERFORMANCE! Don't have to readjust my scope (I zeroed my scope using crosman pointed ammo). Not one of them is deformed!

Can't think of any

Great hunting pellet! Took out a squirrel humanely with one shot.

Great plinking pellet, attractive price, screw tin, good uniformity, good accuracy

Softer lead if used for hunting.

This is a great pellet for plinking and perhaps even hunting (I don't hunt). Given the relatively hard alloy and small size of the hollow point, I'd be surprised if this saw much expansion at normal airgun velocities and distances (and the tests I've seen on the Internet bear this out). Still, it's a very accurate pellet yet plenty affordable. I think of it as an affordable version of the Crosman Premier for plinking.
