Page 5 - Crosman Field Hunting, .22 Reviews

I have gotten to like these pellets. They have become the top performer for my Crosman 2300 and 1322 Medalist. Was using the Falcons (13.7 grain) with good results but these Crosmans' shoot flatter and harder with less strays.

Sell tins of 500

Bought these to sight in my new discovery cheaply, and to reuse the nice screw on tins. To my surprise they shot a 5 shot group well at 54 ft. the max length of my yard. I tore sheets in a phone book at 742 pages, amazing!! Retrieved the fairly mushroomed pellets at about the 450 page range, DEEP penetration. Smoked Starlings and fruit rats stone dead at 60 ft. or better.

Guys put in at LEAST 200 pellets c'mon. The tins can hold 350 easily, I lumped them together after a session of shooting. Quality control could be better,there were a few bad formed pellets, unusable. Kinda dirty, but a cleaning wad solves that dilemma. More pellets, better QC.

These tins are great for reuse with RWS or other higher end pellets, just slap a label on and there ya go. For a good everyday pellet and availability-anywhere!! ; they are a must. Save your money and buy the 4 for 3 deal here at Pyramyd. About those tins; teflon tape eliminates over tightening the reusable tins.

Uniform, accurate and darn good penetration! Infact, they penetrate better than anything I've shot, save the Gamo Rockets, which I have yet to test in .22 cal.

LARGER QUANITIES!!!

OK, the secret to the hard to open pellet cans...lick both palms. Place pellet can between hands (palms on top and bottom of can) press hard and twist. Presto, it will work even if the threads are crossed.

Very uniform, good groupings (using a Benjamin Discovery) Great for pest control and target shooting in general -- inexpensive pellets for a day of fun.

Enough with the carbon - they make your fingers absolutely filthy. Wish the pellets were a little heavier/longer.

This is not my 'go to' pellet as I prefer a heavier grain and had mixed results with accuracy at distances over 30 yards but for a day of plinking this is a good pellet for me.

In my Marauder, these scored the highest in repeated groupings. Beeman Field Target Specials and JSB Exact were close seconds. (Of course, these are all virtually identical in weight and form, so one might expect similar performance.) From a solid benchrest at 90 feet, 5/16" CTC groups. Squirrels tell their young stories about these pellets to scare them.

Bigger package. More-more-more!

Since these appear identical to Copperheads, I tried an experiment: I mixed both types, and weighed about 50 on a .01-grain scale. The stats match either type and both. There was no distinction. They produced the same groups. When considering the likelihood that a pellet will perform well (in my gun) I examine the skirt thickness. I believe that the effectiveness of a particular barrel's choking is greatly dependent on this. In my case, RWS are a poor choice in the Marauder. Look at the skirts of the Crosmans and compare. It's a pretty consistent relationship.

Great pellet, pretty uniform, shoots great out of both my .22 air rifles. This is a perfect pellet for what I need. I can reliably hit a 2 inch target at 50 yards with both my RS2 and Benjamin 392. At 30yds I always hit inside a 1" kill zone. This is the furthest that I hunt at anyways, so it's perfect for me. These are cheaper than the premiers and I imagine they're pretty close in quality. They all fit with the same snugness in the breach too.

If the tin is damaged at all, it's very hard to open. I had to pry one open with a screw driver. They can be pretty dirty, clean them up! Bigger tins, like 250 or 500 count.

These pellets are hard to beat for the price.

One of the first pellets through my TX200 remains one of the tighest spreads of @ 0.20 CTC at 20yds for 5 shot groups. hard hitting down range with good penetration. No deformed pellets and very clean.

number to a tin. much better value at 250 or 500 per tin.

If your guns shoot any other Crosman 'premier' series pellets well (Domed, Hollow point) , give these a try for hunting.

Penetrated well.

TINS! The screw top that a lot of people love so much was tightened so much that I had to pry the top of with my knife. I prefer the tape seal and nice classy tins. I admit these are pretty rugged metal. It was terribly tough to get into the one tin. I like to have some of these tins around, so I don't dislike them completely, but it needs to be operable.

The tin holds almost exactly twice as much as it comes with. I dumped the one tins' contents into the other, non-deformed, tin...

Great penetration!

Make them cleaner. They use graphite or something on them, but its not needed with my gun at least. The barrel fits it pretty loose as it is.

They are somewhat domed, but have good penetration none-the-less.

The shape resembles the Gamo raptors. Light weight. The pellet i use each time i go shooting.Penetrate alot of targets i use.The short skirt and a snug fit in my break barrel rifle is perfect for giving my rifle the most velocity and accuracy. All pellets are consistant and none deformed out of all i ordered.

A larger quantity tin for the price .Still price is reasonable.

After testing several different style pellets on a Beeman combo RS2 ,this pellets is one of the top two i use in .22 caliber barrel.It has excellent penetrating on hard surface targets and is very accurate .The slightly domed tip seems to give this pellet more aerodynamic accuracy.It looks very much like the Gamo .22 raptors and very similar performance too.Except Raptors will get more FPS and penetrate alot of targets .Still ,these Crosman .22 pells are the best for the rifle i use them on and fairy affordable.And also seems to get more velocity than the 830 fps rating on the beeman combo rifle.A few drops of pell gun oil to tin and that will give them lube to boost.Excellent pellet rating for this one .Out of a medium to high velocity air gun, these pellets are amazing!

Lower count makes for a very inexpensive tin of pellets. I have had very good luck with these in my .22 Walther Falcon Hunter. These actually outperform RWS Super Points and have very tight 1/2" or so groups @ 25-30 yards with my gun.

Not the cheapest pellets considering you have to buy 4 tins to get 500 at a cost about $20. The pellets are fairly dirty, but that's not really a big deal. Maybe offer a 250 and 500 count with a little extra cost savings.

Great all around pellets that you can generally find on store shelves as well. Small container fits easily in your pocket and because they come with a screw on lid you don't have to worry about them spilling out.

VERY GOOD AT HITTING THE TARGET.THAT IS IF YOU CAN SHOOT.ALMOST EVERY SHOT IS THE SAME AS THE LOST.

A LITTLE BIT MORE PELLET PER TIN

DONOT USE FLAT PELLET FOR KILL SHOTS OVER 10 YARDS.IF YOU DO YOU WILL WONT TO THROW YOUR GUN AWAY. THEY DONT MAKE ROCKETS FLAT FOR A REASON

Higher ballistic coefficient and better penetration than most pells. Only Kodiaks can better them in penetration. Cons: Not all of my .22 guns shoot them the best(accuracy), but if you have a gun that likes them, they are an excellent choice.

None

Not really a pointed pellet, more of an accentuated round-nose. This is probably a good thing as I have not yet found a pointed pellet that couldn't be out-grouped by a good flat-nosed or round-nosed pellet.

Everything - Container / Pellets

Nothing

These pellets shoot great in my .22 SG. They group real good @ 20 yds. (1/4 in). Good for pest. Nice pellet for the price.... Buy 2 tins = 250 ct .

VERY acurite, fast, hard hitting and for a great price!

Nothing

I have shot over 20,000 rounds out of my four 22xx series crosman guns and no other pellet comes close to the performance and consistency in my guns. Every brand of gun shoots a given brand of pellet differently so dont take my word if you have something other than a 22xx but if you do save yourself the headache and buy these!

shooting with my rws model 54 at 25 yds i could group in a dime, at 50 yds my group opened to about .750 of a inch. i think thats pretty good.

Clean. Pellet shape is consistant. Groups very well at 35 yards.

A 200 tin would be nice.

Good all around pellet.

The .22 pointed 14.3 grains Field Hunting gives an accurate flat trajectory in my Theoben 20 ft/lb piston rifle. Pigeon kills at 40-50 yds are common. This consistent performance is essential as I perform pest control services 5 days a week.

I would prefere these pellets to be available in bulk cartons rather than the 175 \ tins .

Everything

Nothing

Gram for gram, this is one of the best pellets on the market (along with the Primier Hollow Point from Crossman). The price is great, you will always hit what you aim at and it had nice stopping power. Crossman has proven that you do not need to spend a lot of many to have an awesome pellet.

This ammo is relatively cheap, you can find it at almost any sports store, and it is really accurate in my smoothbore Gamo Shadow Express, getting 1/2 inch groups at 15 yards with just the bead.

More ammo in a tin. Crosman could at least double what is inside. I always seem to find a round ball in each tin.

Although it is not the most accurate, it is certainly better than some, while keeping a high fps.
