Things I liked:

Really good pellets for all kinds of uses. I hunt doves, quails, pigeons, rabbits and these serve the purpose extremely well. The accuracy from a Crossman Quest 1000x with open sights from 20-30 yards is really good. I am able to get groups the size of a quarter at 30 yards consistently. I have taken a rabbit from 40 yards and the thing dropped after 5 yards of sprint. The pellet shattered the front leg near the chest and went through the chest area and almost out the other side.

Things I would have changed:

The pellets are really dirty. The lead powder gets on hands and leaves a lot of residue in the barrel which requires frequent cleaning. Just make sure you wash these and use them that way.

What others should know:

Buy these pellets and make sure you zero the rifle again for these particular pellets. Different pellets have different zero's on the same gun so switching between pellets is not so easy. So just buy a couple of boxes and keep using the same ones.....happy shooting!!!

Things I liked:

Recieved the product on time.

Things I would have changed:

The packaging was TERRIBLE...pellets unsecured, all over the shipping box, loose pellets and a lot in the box had deformed skirts (which is the last thing anyone wants). I have to look at each pellet now and I have missed shots that I should have easily made, I'm sure that small deformities went unnoticed.

    Things I liked:

    I love the bulk packing - I can shoot through a box in a week if I have time, so bulk buying is important. Crosman puts foam in the box to keep from damage during shipment. This must be why I get so few deformed pellets.

    Things I would have changed:

    The box should be shrink-packed for shipping. I often find a dozen or more loose pellets in the shipping box. This is a nuisance when I order boxes of different types of pellets. The last shipment was a mix of 10.5gr and 7.9gr pellets, with several dozen I had to sort into the right packages.

    What others should know:

    I plan to keep ordering these - this 7.9gr is a very good match for my Daisy 408 pistol.

    Things I liked:

    One-hole groups are the norm with these pellets. Consistently good performance from springer, PCP, and single-pump pneumatic air rifles. Price per pellet is even pretty reasonable.

    Things I would have changed:

    The new boxes will not stay closed. Go back to the old boxes.

    What others should know:

    They are domes though and are more prone to tearing paper than punching clean holes.

    Things I liked:

    This was my 2nd box of 1250 count Crosman 7.9 grain pellets. When I checked a 30 pellet sample from the 1st box using a pellet gauge all but 2 checked 5.53 mm. The 2nd box purchased a year latter again checked a 30 pellet sample using a pellet gauge all checked 5.53-5.54. I am impressed with the control Crosman has on head size of these pellets. Too bad pellets made elsewhere often fail this size check. A sample of just 30 pellets out of 1250 is small, but I just got tired of checking! Pellets shot well out of my Crosman Marauder rifle.

    Things I would have changed:

    Crosman add size to their boxed pellets, 5.53 mm or 5.54 mm instead of just stating .177 cal.

    What others should know:

    Crosman pellets supplied in tins of 500 will not check this close for head size. I have only checked head size I have not check weights. My experience shooting Crosman air rifles, the larger size pellet are need for best accuracy.

    Things I liked:

    Day in and out these are my go to pellets. In the BOX, NOT the CAN. HUGE difference for me going from the can to the box. Astounding. I thought I got a new set of guns. No other pellet at near the price compares with these pellets. They hold their own with high priced brands as well. This time of year I shoot in my 18.5 yard indoor range. I put thousands of these pellets on targets with 4 different rifles, PCP, Break, multi pump. All love them. Price is great from Pyramyd by the 4 box.

    Things I would have changed:

    The box could be better. When can we get these in alloy? (indoor range)

    What others should know:

    If you have tried the can, try the box you will love the difference. I gave up on Crosman pellets, then, I brought a Benjamin Mayhem and read about these and the 10.5s in the BOX. Tried and got hooked. Now I have all my guns zeroed with these pellets. Transitioning to other pellets, especially heavy, has been amazingly consistent. A 10.5 will hit just low from the Mayhem, but repeatably. The Gauntlet eats anything and there is virtually no differences for most others from this pellet.

    Things I liked:

    I like having plenty of boxed CPL around for non stop plinking.

    Things I would have changed:

    I wish PA would change the buy 3 and get 4th free of the lowest priced pellet bought. This makes buying pellets very tricky at PA. IMO it would be better to do the same with each 4 of the same type pellets. That way I could buy 4 boxes of premiers. 12 tins of JSB 8.4, 8 tins of AA 7.87 and get the discounts from the applicable pellets. Boxes of CP are $28. To buy 4 boxes of those and 20 tins of pellet that may be $9 a tin. Of course this work out badly for buyers and the reason I buy a whole lot less pellets from PA than I would other wise. If I have to buy my boxes from PA in one separate order and then buy again for sets of other pellets which is what I now have to do is wasteful as far as shipping and convenience and sometimes I just go somewhere else where AA 7.87 are maybe $5 a tin less anyways.

    What others should know:

    The last 5 tins of JSB 8.4 4.52 head pellets were unusable and fell out of my breeches in my guns. The very same problem with the last 20 tins of AA 8.4 4.52. PA should check these pellets out to some degree and return them if need or at least explain about the current stock on hand. I had to sell all of those pellets with full disclosure about what I thought to be bad pellets. The 4 boxes of CPL I just bought are all die be wicj is all I have gotten in the last 4-5 years. The 4 boxes came in one box and had 2 different dates on manufacture. They are in fact good pellets. The heads are bit oversized INMO but no flashing left over from the die stamps( not the best CPL I have had in the past by any means but I would buy again and I hope the quality goes up a bit and not down.) I won't buy the JSB 8.4 or air arms 8.4 again until I hear that there are some good dies back on the market. I have had to change my rifle to accommodate the lighter AA 7.87 for lack of good 8.4

    Things I liked:

    I shot thousands of these in Field Target practice and competition out of my 12 ft-lb HW77 and my 14 lb-ft tuned TX200. They're very consistent and very accurate in guns in that power range. A good choice for competition, hunting, and plinking.

    Things I would have changed:

    I usually sorted and inspected pellets I used in competition, and , and every so often I'd find some bits of casting flash or a deformed pellet- but not very often.

    Things I liked:

    Excellent value for me since these pellets produce groups on par with higher priced target pellets. No deformed pellets or major inconsistency in size.

    Things I would have changed:

    I've never really had any problems with the cardboard box and foam filler pieces but I suppose a large round metal tin with a screw-on lid would be a nice improvement.

    What others should know:

    I've been using these in an Air Arms TX200 Mk3 .177cal. and my particular rifle seems to love them. No problem getting reliable/repeatable 1/2-inch groups and under at 30 yards. I'm on my third box and product quality and consistency seem to be outstanding. I use them mostly for pest control and a lot of casual target practice.

    Of all the pellets I've tried in all my rifles, these are the most consistently accurate.I have six .177 cal.airguns and five of them prefer these pellets over everything else I have tried.

    Maybe offer them in a cleaned (washed) version also in a plastic container. Would even pay more for them.(I hate washing pellets)Besides that I can't think of anything.

    What others should know:

    If you have a TX 200 you should try these. I know of 4 TX 200s that these pellets shoot the best groups in. They don't hit as hard as say a Barracuda Extreme or even a CP HP but they are accurate which is the most important thing. They fit very tight in the breech.

    This dome light pellet has outstanding accuracy and velocity. It is very consistent and I enjoy shooting this pellet in all five of my .177 caliber break-barrel air rifles. Definitely a go-to pellet.

    Things I would have changed:

    A metal tin large enough to hold the 1250 count instead of the cardboard box, which I did not have any pellets get loose in shipping. I transferred them to two empty Crosman 500 count tins with no problem, just took a permanent black Sharpie and identified that these pellets were in those two tins. I don't understand the rational of the cardboard packaging.

    What others should know:

    I highly recommend these pellets.
