Page 11 - Crosman Premier .22, .22 Reviews

Everything,Spot on under 15yds and out to 35yds.Price, Screw off lid.Rws 52 .22cal,R9 .22cal & UK Stingray .22cal loves them!

Lid a tad tight,needed flat head screw driver to pry loose.

Try them you'll like them!

Fairly inexpensive, but not very consistent weights from pellet to pellet.

More consistency.

I weighed quite a number of pellets from one tin. The weights varied as much as .9 grains. Of course they weren't very accurate. I have also shot the CPHP pellets and although I didn't weigh them they were more accurate than the domes. Keep in mind I have only tried one tin of each and in only one airgun.

Great pellet !! These pellets gave me the best numbers over the chrony. Even better then more expensive pellets. My Talon SS loves these. Accurate, uniformed and well made. This is my new go to pellet. I do wash and lube these before shooting.

I honestly can't think of anything that I would change. These are great pellets.

These pellets fit very snug in my Talon SS barrel. Results equal extremely accurate, hard hitting pellet. I have no trouble consistently hitting the bullseye at 50 yards. If you're an Airforce airgun owner these pellets will not disappoint.

Purchased July 2014. Pellets came packaged very well in blister packs and foam. Pellets in the tin were very clean and reasonable uniform and undamaged.

Nothing comes to mind.

Made in the USA (I believe). Buy USA made if at all possible.

Good pellet for the money, but not as accurate as the hollow point premiers. It is a good pellet to break in a new barrel while searching for the best one for your gun,but hey this might be the one your gun likes.

nothing

Perfect pellet for my benjamin trail and ruger yukon! I looked at the entire tin and did not see one deformed skirt! I think its the best value for price,quality, and quantity!

Nothing!

the tin also has a screw on lid!

First off, I really appreciate Pyramyd's excellent packaging. I've ordered these pellets off Amazon and found damaged pellets. Reading other reviews, I learned damage was probably due to shipping handling & poor packaging. Inspecting my Pyramyd order, they were all in excellent condition and uniform. I should emphasize I am FUSSY & inspect under a magnification lamp.

Not much actually. These appear to need cleaning & prepping more than say JSBs. So I wash, clean & lube all these. Not a major complaint, just saying.

I'm a newbie to airguns; but an experienced firearm rifleman, benchrest, reloader, etc. Reading forums & these reviews with words of wisdom from experienced folks has saved me much time & money I believe. In that regard, these are the first pellets I tried in a Benj Disco. This pellet rates as a close #2 to the JSB Exact 18.13 gr as its favorite. I want to experiment with other pellets; but, my goodness, accuracy is accuracy and I am impressed! Airguns are fun!! I highly recommend this pellet and the JSB as good starters for the Disco. Thanks to all the "old timers" for your guidance.
Best

An accurate, multipurpose pellet at an economical price. Can be used for target shooting, plinking and hunting purposes although I prefer the hollow point version for better results on peats or small game.

Nothing

For breaking in an airgun, you just can go much cheaper on a tin of pellets. A very good pellet for the money IMO. Accuracy is on par with much more expensive pellets.

accurate and hard hitting

container

all cans were very difficult to open and one can will guard the pellets forever as I just can't unscrew the lid.

Price

Pellet size consistency

For the money if your rifle can shoot these fairly accurate then be aware because the pellet size has a tendency to be so small it falls in the barrel to the extreme of you hurting your thumb pushing it flush! This will impact your over all consistency of being accurate!

Shoot really well at 20 yards and under.30 yards and the groups start to open up.

Size choices in head diameter

Its a gamble with the tins, most are as good as the cardboard box, but some tins are rough.

Excellent performer with my Benjamin NP XL 1100. Probably the best along with the hollow point version. They really outperform other pellets at 40 yards and beyond in accuracy and penetration.

After replacing the tigger on my NP XL all pellets give me significantly better groups (wadcutter & pointed) but the premier under similar circumstances prodce groups 30% smaller than other pellets. based on internet reviews and m experience, these are probably the bestpellet for the NP XL 1100.

Tin to put my better pellets in.

Clean them up. More consistent head and skirt size.

Don't penetrate well. Majority bounce off the targets like wood, magazines. The Croman HP's are much better.

its more uniformed and cleaner than the hollow point. a bit more accurate at longer distance vs da hollow point. maybe the aero dynamic with the dome head ? maybe...

nothing

at fifty yards i would get 1 flyer out of ten vs hollow point 2 or sometimes 3 out of ten. i believe its da dome shape. using a mrod = )

The crossman Premiers are very good quality pellets. I have a Marauder and it shoots these very well.

Nothing

Nice clean, affordable pellets.

These pellets were moderately accurate out of my Air Arms S200 Hunter. I get on average 2 1/4" ten shot groups at 50 yards. They were sometimes hard to chamber from the 10 shot magazine.

Cheap and the travel pretty good after you clean them.

Clean them.

These are filthy pellets -- Crosman should be ashamed for not bathing them.

cheapest on the market for what you get. I haven't found many dis-formed ones in the tins.. They are a little tight in my BSA Lightning ,but seem ti fit fine in the Weihrauch 97KT....

Is it graphite coating or something on these pellets that leave your fingers black? Even after washing them? I don't think is lead dust since I wash them carefully. Wish they were cleaner in that aspect....

Dollar for $$ I think they work just fine. I have 3 air rifles and all of them work fine, but are they the best? No but they are very good for the money. I use them in my Weihrauch HW97K and I get almost exact same groupings as a more costly pellets..And they seem to take out the neighborhood pests just as good as the costly H&N 21gr hunters...

Accurate in almost all my .22 rifles. At 4bux a box less, they are a good deal

Crosman needs to find a way to clean their pellets. They are an oily mess out of the tin.

My P-rod and Venom Viper both shoot these very well. My only .22 springer is a tuned HW85 and it shoots them ok. For the price they are hard to beat.

These Ultra Magnums are my all around favorite pellet for all of my .177 and .22 air guns. After trying a number of different brands and styles, I dialed in to shooting the 10.5g .177 and the 14.3g .22 Ultra Mags exclusively. I prefer them over even the more expensive “Brown Box Crosmans”. They are very uniform with only a very occasional “loosie” or “flyer”. They are not the best paper puncher, so the holes are a little ragged, and they don’t expand like a Crow Magnum, but they pack a good punch and are a good all around target/hunting pellet.

The only thing I would change is to take the price back down to what it was 3 months ago, so I could save a buck a pop.
