Page 2 - Crosman Field Hunting, .22 Reviews

Great all around pellet ,great hunting pellet , does not seem to be gun sensitive , price is good and seem to very accurate in all my Benjamin pump guns, I use both .177 and .22 in this style of pellet.

Nothing at this time

Buy them in bulk -four tins of pellets for the price of three from pyramid air.

Price and work well in my Crosman guns

Seems like Crosman May be ready for some new dies

Screw cap container.

Not sure what needs to be changed' I am sure it's not very accurate.

I love the Crossman Premier in both .177 and .22 and thought this would be a step up. especially with the pointed nose, well its not. Accuracy fell up to 1 and 1/2 in. of target at 30 yards. I think they need to be a tad bit wider in diameter at the crown of the point, that when the air flows into the barrel there is to much difference between the diameter of the tail and widest part of the tip and that is what throws off the accuracy.

excellent for a low priced round, fairly straight flight, fun round to shoot at an inexpensive price

nothing

Can is hard to open the first time then there isn't any problems

The thing I like is both my air gun like them the size and grains are almost the same over all

nothing

Crosman economy.

Re-Design them?

Worst of 8 pellets tried side-by-side. Wild and no semblance of grouping. Maybe tumbling in flight? Best pellet (as standard) = Crosman UltraMag (domed). Ironic, eh?

Being Crosman.

Not a clue.

In my UmaRex Fuel .22 it was off the paper. Wild, really. Ironically, it was so good in my Uma .17. Was why I ordered 4 tins. Big mistake! Go figger'.

Great price, very accurate in my rifle.

Good for the money

Shoots great in my Crossman 2240

More per tin

N/A

price, and style

nothing, no complaints

my Crossman 2240 digest these like they were meant for it.

Average groupings at 30 yards for me.

Softer lead if possible to conform to my rifle better.

Every rifle is different. Yours may like these. For me they were about average.

Nothing.

Very inconsistent sizing compared to the other pellets I use. Not very accurate through my Hatsan 125 sniper .22! The crosman domed shoot way better than this junk. Wish I had used my money on something else.

Found the pointed pellets gave me more range and accuracy than the hollow points.

I would like to see a tin of 500 instead of 175.

Value for the money and accuracy at shorter ranges of from 25 to 75 feet in my 2240 and 2289. Basically one hole groups size of a large pea at 25' with a scope and 3/4" average at 75'. Based on weighing 1003 of these pellets, I could not give them a higher rating as I feel a 14.3 gr pellet should not have any weighing more than 14.5 grains or less than 14.1 grains. Based on these results detailed below, I will use the 14.6 grain pellets for accuracy testing, sighting in guns with this pellet, and hunting and the rest for plinking or practice. Now that these have been sorted, I intend to do more accuracy testing to determine if the sorted pellets give better groups, particularly the 14.4 and 14.6 grain pellets.

Weight consistency! Which translates to fliers at 50 yards and beyond! With this pellet in my Discovery, 10 shot rested groups are around 2.5 - 3" at 50 yards, with about 2 fliers out of 10, with most shots being in a 1.25" or smaller cluster. So I decided to weigh all 1003 pellets I had on hand to discover why. All pellets were weighed on a DigiWeigh model DW-100AS digital scale. Apparently this scale is only capable of resolving a max of .2 grains as all weights were in even increments. Testing procedure: Pellets weighed on scale. Occasionally, a pellet would fluctuate rapidly between two weights and that was resolved by weighing up to 10 times to establish the correct weight. Four readings the same consecutively resolved, or if 5/5 split on the weights the pellet was put in the lower weight category. I would have given a higher rating but for the results below.

A total of 1003 pellets were weighed per above procedure. All weights ranged between 14.0 - 14.6 grains as follows: 400 pellets @ 14.6 gr for 39.88% 428 pellets @ 14.4 gr for 42.67% 158 pellets @ 14.2 gr for 15.75% AND 17 pellets @ 14.0 gr for 00.169% So average pellet weight was 14.44 grains, and 417 pellets, or 41.58% of them vary by +/- .3 grains of the manufacturers stated weight! In my opinion, even though these are inexpensive pellets, a variation of more than +/- .2 grains from stated weight is unacceptable! Certainly, 14.0 grains and 14.6 grains is unacceptable to me for a 14.3 grain pellet. No wonder I get fliers at 50 yards from my Discovery. BTW, the same gun with Beeman Kodiaks at 50 yards prints <3/4" ctc. groups every time from a rest! I have gotten several <.4" ctc at that range with the Kodiaks! So in summary, this is a good inexpensive pellet for <25 yard shots on squirrel or rabbit size or larger game, but not for longer ranges!!

extremely accurate in my 22 diana 34 with vortex kit.

maybe make it just a little heaver for harder hitting

the crosman hollow points are just as good and don't cost as much.

hard to answer, what is there to say about a chunk of lead

find some other type of container because it can be very hard to open, i used a vise and pipe wrench.

These are excellent shooting pellets and at 25 to 30 yards are dead on target.

Nothing

They are good for close up say 25 yards hunting....

Still breaking in my gun but these pellets are very consistent giving me tight groups.

Nothing

Accuracy at 50 yards. Price is just right.

Larger count tin. Perhaps 250 and 500. Tin was hard to open. I had to use a thin screw driver to loosen the treads up.

These pellets shot less than 1 1/2" ten shot groups on average at 50 yards out of my Air Arms S200 Hunter.
