Page 5 - Crosman Premier Heavy, .177 Reviews

Accuracy. Accuracy. Accuracy. Hit Hard! Good Ballistics. Accurate!

Don't Change them!!!

These are the Best! I have two Custom Discoveries. Three 397's. Three Custom 1377's. Two E9A's. A 1077. Two 1008's. A 357. A 2100. A 347. Two 397GA's. These pellets produce the Best Accuracy in all these guns of mine. They're a bit heavy for the Gas Guns for fast shooting, but for Power and Accuracy from a fresh ampule, they can't be beat! These are the Standard by which I measure ALL other .177cal. pellets.

These shoot well out of a Marauder and an Airforce Talon (both 177). H&N Barracuda match shoot a whisker better past 30 yards, but cost a litttle morre also.

Little cardboard box leaks sometimes in shipping. I put some tape across the bottom to close the holes.

Crossman raised their price on pellets awhile back. These where an excellent value. Now they are just an OK deal. Happy to say Pyramyd service is still EXCELLENT , Thanks Pyramyd !!!

I have shot approximately 100 of the pellets through my RWS 34 pellet rifle. I am getting great consistency with them. Since the RWS 34 has an advertised velocity of 1000 ft/sec, the heavier pellet seems to be more accurate. At 20 yards, I am shooting through a 1/2" piece of plywood. At 25 yards, it is all but going through a 1/2" plywood. I am very pleased with this combination- Crosman Peemier/ RWS

I have been useing these since 1994 and these are the best bar none these buck the wind and are very uniform.

the box that they come in.

tese are very good for just about every type of shooting.

Very uniform pellets per 1250 pcs. Can't beat 10.5 gr of heavy hitting power at 60yds with the Marauder. Groups a little better that the benjamin pcp hollow point pellets.

Not much considering that I've only had 13 out of 800 pcs that were deformed.

I've tried Beeman Kodiak double gold and kodiak matched in my Marauder and the Marauder just doesn't seem to like it. These and the Benjamin Discovery hollow point seem to be very uniform and pretty hard. Marauder seems to like the harder pellets and the score card shows it. Not much fliers in my batch. I would recommend these to new Marauder owners!!!

heavy hitting

make more accurite and more consistant

these pellets hit wherever they want to. Very hard to control. The similar Beeman Kodiaks are much better

Very accurate, MADE in USA!

Somewhat expensive.

I have a Gamo CFX and an RWS 350 Magnum, both .177, and these pellets shoot great in both, better than anything else I have tried in the RWS.

Inexpensive, great practice and plinking pellet. Also a good standby for a varminting round. Clean and burr free. Relatively clean to shoot - no bad bore residue. Accurate, good all around stuff.

Packaging!!! The cardboard box this was sent in was broadly cracked open at both ends and loose pellets were all over the inside of the shipping carton. Also, because the carton is so inferior, this is the worst possible container to try to use for on-hand storage.

This is probably the best buy around for an overall versatile pellet.

So clean! This ammo is the cleanest lead I've seen. Very accurate, today I took 5 shots at 20 yards, and the grouping was within a quarter!! Very happy with the accuracy and cleanness of this ammo, definitely recommended!

These were by far the most accurate out of my gun (AA S410) compared to H&N Barracuda (heavy) and JSB Exact Heavy. Right out of the box, I shot .25" ctc groups at 30 yds. Sometimes in the same hole. Still one of the top field target competition pellets.

CLEANER PELLETS. These things are very "dirty", it's like a residue from manufacturing. I will get grey all over my fingers after 60 rounds. This equates to having to pull wads through my barrel 8 x to get it clean after every 100-120 shots. I start getting "1 off's" after that many pellets if I don't clean the barrel after the 100-120 shots. Could be my gun? I am going to talk to some field target experts who shoot them and see if they clean the pellets before shooting them. They "lead" the barrel more than pure lead pellets (JSB's, etc..) due to the antimony injected in manufacturing, but they are slightly harder which could be the reason for better accuracy (less deformity?.)

I haven't done it yet, but after I talk to a few experts I am thinking about prewashing to get the mfg debris off. BTW. I also lube my pellets which seam to help the consistency.

Very accurate in my Benjamin 397 - clusters 5 shots in a quarter-size groups at 15 meters using the Williams aperture sights (my aging eyes are the limiting factor, not the pellet). Accuracy results very similar to the AA .177 heavy dome pellet. A bit dirtier than the AA pellet, but well made and uniform size.

Nothing

Lots of pellets and good value for the money!

The pellets are ok but do not compare to others such as the RWS superdomes and JSB Exact. The pellets are not very consistent and are usually more that 1 cm apart from eachother

Like I said, great value for the money and not a bad choice if you are one of those people who shoot a lot.

Very accurate! Large qty. for the price

Maybe package in a screw top metal can?

Longer length and round nose makes loading easier. The fit is snug which adds security in the field. Accuracy is very good, I had been using Crow Magnums in my RWS 48 but had a few failures to perform on squirrel. I later dispatched these squirrels with the expanded but non-lethal pellets in them, using these Crosman Premiers. And every squirrel I have taken has dropped right there with complete penetration. Penetration is good enough for reliable 75 yard shots. Yes, 75 yards is now my record. Know the range and the game is yours. I get 1" at that range with tight sling sitting position, less than half the size of Crow Magnum groups.

The box leaks pellets. A bit of tape prevents this although I transfer pellets to a field pouch.

This pellet doesn't work well from lower powered rifles or pistols. But for all magnum rifles, it works well. And is a perfect larger game pellet. It will easily handle larger possum with head shots thanks to the great penetration. I test pellet penetration in water-soaked newspaper. From my RWS 48, they are doing 900 FPS and penetrate about 8" in this medium which is about double that of Beeman Crow Magnums at 980 FPS.

These are the most accurate pellets for me and my Airforce Talon SS on CO2 and my shooting environment. If you're having accuracy problems with other pellets you must give these a try. I shoot at 10m targets exclusively so this review does not include ranges farther than that.

They group real good @ 50 yds. (1/2 in). Good for pest. Nice pellet for shooting around. fir all my gun.easy to find. value for money.Very uniform

tin is better then paper box

you're left with black coated in your hands . good buy

everyt thing i got them yesterday and have had time to shoot about 10 or 11 ten shot groups and as expected they group very well about a quarter inch or less at 15yrds. very clean uniform pellet the all look pretty much the same the box was fine there was only about 5 or 6 that fell out i

nothing i guess price but for 1250 pellets its not bad

great for squirrel hunting targets or whatever. you might want to try and wash off the pellets because crosman pellets get your barrel dirty fast

Pretty good value, heavy, not too many unusable or fliers.

Box is useless, use less antimony.

Throw the box out right away, They leave your fingers BLACK after a long day due to all the antimony. the reason it got 4 on value (1250 = $23) (500 crosman 10.5 gr. super mags $7.99) x4(4th ones free!) = (2000) $18!! All in all you get 750 more,better made, pellets of the same weight for $5 cheaper.

Well finished and uniform in size. Very snug and consistent fit in chamber. Accuracy equal to other brands and styles in the heavy 10.5+/- grain group. I like the brown box.

Nothing.

Virtually the same pellet as the Crosman Premiere Ultra Magnum 10.5 grains except this one is not as clean to handle because of graphite lubrication. Me and my TX200 can maintain quarter sized groups or better at 40 yards with any of the pellets in the heavy 10.5 grain group so price is the primary driver of pellet choice. This pellet is second only to the Ultra Magnum in low price so these are my two favorites. The various Beeman heavies seem to be equal in performance but cost about twice as much. Even though quite blackening of loading fingers, I like this pellet best because its fit in the breech is quite snug and consistently so. In several hundred shots there was no distinguishable variation in placing the pellet in the breech. It fits tightly enough to make for a sore thumb after a few dozen shots. Any of the pellets in the 10.5 grain heavy group are accurate enough to let me know I am the weak link in overall performance.

Very accurate. These heavy pellets are longer than normal 7.9 gr. pellets, making them easier to load. The impact noise they make when they hit the target is noticeably louder than with lighter pellets. These pellets are cleaner than other non-premium pellets (less graphite residue on your hands).

Packaging. Several pellets fell out of the box, but were contained within the box they were shipped in. Several pellets had deformed skirts.

If you want a heavy, accurate .177 caliber pellet in large quantities, this is the way to go.
