Well, to me, this is the "gold standard" by which all other pellets are judged and has been for many, many years. This is an excellent pellet, accurate in about every gun with a straight barrel. These shoot straight, whether being shot fast or slow. To me, the hollow point in this pellet is just as accurate. Wonderful pellet.

I give these a 4.5 overall. Size and shape are not consistent but accuracy still is. I run these out of my Diana K98 and a Crosman Shockwave and these pellets are very accurate out of both. They are just as accurate as premium brands at half the cost and come with a screw top lid which should be the standard. I find very very few bad skirts in any can of these. I cant say the same for JSB and AA pellets which I'm not sure if it's my luck but have consistently received tins with 20%-30% pellets with bent or severely damaged skirts. At $14-$18 a tin for high end pellets I'm finding myself shoorting way more Crosman pellets. Their accuracy has been consistent in my rifles and you can't beat the price especially for plinking and target practice.

I would like to see more consistency of the size of these pellets but it hasn't seemed to affect accuracy in my rifles so what can I say. Only other issue is these pellets are very dirty compared to many other brands. Crosman, give em quick rinse before you send em out.

Not saying these pellets will work in your rifle but I've found them accurate in many and again for the price you can't beat them for plinking or even pest control. These pellets blast through 1/2 plywood or wood fencing at 20 yds from a 850-900fps rifle

Shoots great in my Benjamin Maximus

Nothing

A lot of bang for the buck

consistent Head size.

Not much different from hollow point

They look good, price is low for larger quantity.

Make a bit larger.

These just don't work well with my Umarex Octane. It is dead on with a pellet almost twice as heavy, but these fly every which way. They are very loose in the breech and sort of "fall" into it. I see mostly positive reviews on these, but for my rifle, they are a no go. The other brand pellet is quite tight in the breech, and shoots great, but not these, at least for me. So, anyone want about 900 pellets? Half HP and half Domed.

Excellent grouping

Price and screw on lid. The pellets also look nice and are rarely misformed, but I sense that is because of the alloy that they are using.

These pellets lack consistency of size and weight. They vary as much as 3 grains in weight and range from 5.48 to 5.54. I sense that the alloy (or other metal with the lead) has changed. I think they are getting harder tha than they used to be.

QC is getting worse. They are just dumping pellets together from so many different lots that accuracy is impossible without a lot of work from you. I'm not certain that the harder lead contributes to accuracy- does it bite into the rifling? Does the skirt expand to fill in any imperfections that couldn't be seen by the naked eye?

These are nowhere near the top three pellets in any of my .22 rifles.

My Hatsan 95 really likes this .22 cal pellet. They are very accurate and priced right! Also, tried the H&N FTT & JSB Exact Heavy which are excellent pellets and shot very well also. However, for the price and the accuracy I'm getting with this crossman pellet I will continue to use this as my main choice.

Pellet size could be a little more consistent. Found the JSB & H&N very uniform in size.

If your gun likes this pellet (which mine does) you can't go wrong using this pellet. The only negative I can voice is that the size could be more consistant, some of the pellets seem slightly loose when fitting into the breach, but my rifle doesn't seem to be sensative to the size variation.

Pellets are symmetrical and free of defect.

I would like to see this particular pellet offered in the bulk quantities.

This pellet works great with Crosman/Benjamin Products

Very good everyday pellet. If they shoot good in your gun then they are a very good value.

Nothing

Just an overall good pellet that is easy to find and will not break the bank. Key is how they shoot in your gun. If you are lucky your gun will like them.

The price per pellet is low. Pellets arrived without dents and deformation. There were few discards in the two can I have, as the skirts appeared round and undented. The pellets which were not undersized shot accurately.

More consistent diameter. About one pellet in ten was very undersized and fit very loose in the bore (both the nose and the skirt). This resulted in a greater number of flyers than what the Crosman Premier Domed pellets produced in the past. Unfortunately, unless you have a pellet gauge, or take a micrometer to each pellet, you don't know if you have a problem pellet until you insert it into the bore.

The new pellets tins are easy to spot, the paint on them goes all the way to the lip of the lid. The old series has a silver ring when viewed from the top. As of October 2016, the pellet can pictured here is of the old lid.

Very accurate, consistent quality, reasonably priced.

Offer them in the brown box again, but at the same price ratio as the tins.

I switched to these after the brown box pellets were no longer available. The cast lines are more noticeable on these, but so far they seem to be as accurate and have as good of quality consistency as the discontinued brown box pellets.

Great value for the cost - you get 500 count. This pellet is also very accurate!

Nothing that I can think of.

Be sure to buy the pellet pen that holds about 18-20 pellets so you can easily load your Air Rifle and be ready to shoot quickly.

Cost, decent accuracy, & a screw on lid.

Tins are way too hard to open. Occasional fliers.

Keep coming back to these as it seems my Talon SS & HW95 like them.
I've only used these at 10-20 yds. so far.

Found out from shooting a lot of different pellets that these shoot the best out of my .22 Benjamin NP2. Groups dime size at 20 yrds. quarter size at 40 yrds.. Pluse poped off 3 ground hogs at between 40 & 50 yrds with them. Dose not mean they will shoot that good out of every gun

NOTHING

GOOD PRICE BY THEM

Consistent size. These are accurate and pack a punch. I was shooting these into a piece of lumber that i use when zeroing in my scope and I was pleasantly surprised by the penitration and the deformation from impact. Can't wait to use these to take down some problem squirrels.

Nothing

Pyramyd Air packs these so well. I ordered 4 packs as part of my first order and was blown away by how well they were packed, every can had foam around them and and they were all taped together into a nice package within the box.

Excellent pellets. I put 5 of them in the same hole at 25 yards.
