Crosman Premier .22, .22 Reviews

Shoots accurate and hard for some of my pistols and rifles.

None.

Made in the USA.

I really like the accuracy with respect to the low cost.

Nothing.

Even though I live local and am able to pick up in person, the pellets were packed in the foam blocks as if they were being shipped by commercial carrier. A well trained packaging department.

Simply good pellets

Consistanct

Go for it

One-hole ten-shot groups at 25 yards with my Avenger.

Nothing

I wish that I could buy them locally.

Consistantly accurate in the 362 rifle

Nothing

Everyone should have a tin of these for a 22

500 in a can

These are my favorite pellet. I have a Benjamin Marauder and with these pellets and this gun i can shoot dime sized holes all day at thirty yards. I also keep the starlings, cow birds and grackles in check.

Awesome

They are good pellets for plinking, but I haven't been able to shoot them with real consistency . I plan on testing them with different power settings on my Benjamin gunnar when we get some warmer weather to see if the like a particular velocity.

Not as accurate as something like the jsb's but they are less than half the cost so I'll use them for plinking.

Price and availability

Nothing

They're very accurate in alot of my guns. Its not easy to find them up north (Canada) lately so I grabbed a few cans while I could.

Cheap shooting in .22 through my Air Venturi Avenger.

Nothing

I hit my targets on my range just as well with these pellets as with the more expensive brands. We have 15 spent saw blades 6 to 10 inches in diameter hanging from twine on tree branches at 100 feet. Shooting indoors from the house window and I don't have to pick up spent brass. Love my air rifle and it really likes the crosman pellets ~ ping !

Shallow pellet skirt cavity design, 14.3 grain weight for velocity, harder than normal lead pellets, will penetrate deeper than other softer pellets, and accuracy consistency. My .22 caliber Gallant 2 shoots these with deadly one shot accuracy.

Nothing.

I shot this pellet through my .22 Umarex Gauntlet 2 for accuracy, point of aim and impact was dead on the cross hairs at 90+ feet. Easily a pellet of preference out to 40 yards, which proved to deadly, one shot kill, that totally surprised me. For velocity test I used my ProChrono Digital Chronograph. Three shot results were 1033,1040, & 1036 fps. I recommend this pellet, it hits with devastating power due to accuracy at a high velocity, straight and true. Woodys World.

Good for short range plinking, general target, and short range vermin reduction.

A bit more consistency between pellets.

At longer ranges they have more flyers than I would like. This means you have to inspect each pellet before use to weed out the damaged skirts or flattened head faces. If the pellet passes inspection it will shoot well. Not as consistent as some other brands/models. However they are cheap and usable.

About the same or better accuracy as the more expensive brands of similar weight and profile. Availability seems to be better than most brands. They are inexpensive which makes them great for breaking in or tuning your air gun.

Maybe add some type of lube and make weight and shape a little more consistent, of course this would probably make them more expensive.

Good quality - Accurate - Hard hitting - Good price - Packaged in tins of 500

Lower price (just under two cents per pellet without the special Pyramyd Air buy three, get one free deal would be about perfect). Since the Premier line already includes most of the popular pellet styles (pointed, domed, hollow point), add a flat head, match-style pellet to the line.

As folks using one or more of the Crosman Premier pellets for their hunting and plinking needs may have noticed, prices have gone up. A few weeks ago, these were just under 2 cents (~1.9c) per pellet, without the special 'buy 3/1 free' deal, but now they're almost that much (~1.7c) with it. Of course prices change, and 2c is still a great price, but regular users might want to keep an eagle eye out for the next time prices go down (if they do), then grab a few thousand each of their favorites using the 3/1 deal. I still love the Crosman domed and hollow point Premier pellets and certainly will buy them at this price, but I plan to stock up on H&N Excite Plinking and Hammer pellets now too, also great quality, lower priced pellets, using the 3/1 deal before their price goes up. It never hurts to stock up on the rare occasion you're flush with jack, and if you're a regular shooter, it ALWAYS saves you money. Just a friendly heads-up, but do as you think best. Still an excellent pellet!

good pellets for the money

bulk quantity at a better price

Great plinking pellets, cheap, and consistent. The customer service is always excellent and the buy 3 get 1 free.. can't beat that.

This has nothing to do with Pyramyd air, they are solid and my 5 stars are mainly based on them and the quality products they sell but they need to change their shipping partner. Seems like fedex can never ship a package on time or in one piece. Thank goodness for Pyramyd Air and their professional packaging of the pellets.

Ship with anyone else other than fedex please

At this price point how can you complain! If you keep these between 700 and 920 ft per second they group very well out to 50 yards and maybe a little further. I have four pcps and three break barrels. Every single one of them seems to use these pretty well. I also shoot them from a Seneca eagle claw and that will shoot them at over 1150 ft per second so it sounds like somebody shot a regular 22 long rifle because the velocity is quite high and I was actually shooting targets all the way out to 85 yards. Of course at that high rate they seem to go a little sideways near the end but I've seen some things that are worse and I was surprised that I was able to do that! I turned the power adjuster all the way down and was shooting them at 650 ft per second and then I went up a notch to about 840 ft per second. They seemed much more stable and the groups were pretty tight.

I noticed that I have to clean my barrel after shooting many of these because of the compound. Because they're not 100% LED it seems to gum up the rifling in the barrel and then when I try to shoot slugs they won't group until I clean the barrel.

These are good for short range pest control but I prefer something heavier. They don't weigh very much and longer ranges there's not much energy left. If you have the power to push 21 to 25 grain out at 900 ft per second you can shoot out 80 yards and raccoons drop dead. Lightweight pellets just won't do it at that long of a range.
