Page 18 - Crosman Premier .22, .22 Reviews

Extremely accurate in my GS950. Last year I took out 87 squirrels with these pellets. Most of the shots were taken at 35 yards and they didn't have a chance. On paper at 21 yards a quarter inch is common if I do my part.

Nothing.

Use a pellet seater on all pellets, it does make a difference.

Very clean and well made for the price. The screw lid is very convienient. You cannot beat the price!

Nothing.

These work very well in my Marauder set up at 750 fps for 15 yard target practice. They also have a slight edge accuracy wise over the Premiers. An added benefit is that the hollow point does help to punch cleaner holes for measuring group size. I have yet to notice any deformities or unusual residue in the tins I have recieved. Crosman seems to pay more attention to this pellet line and I highly recommend people try them.

Great shape,

nothing

Shoot a lot get better, good price.

Good accuracy and penetration. Sometimes a little too good of penetration. On Starlings at 30-35 yards, they punch right through, but maybe it is because of the power of the RWS 350.

The size of these are not always uniform. Some fit just right while others are very tight in my 350.

I can do 3 shot groups at 30 yrds in the size of a quarter. Not to bad, but when you get a tight pellet you will end up with a flyer.

The 500 count tin is sweet! Very accurate in my 2240 Crosman and my 392 Benjamin Pump

Nothing.

This design has proven to be very accurate for me in both .177 & .22! The 22 cal hits very hard!!! Great price for the pellet count and when you go with the Buy 3/get the 4th free deal, its the best 22 pellet I have come across.

500 to a tin with a screw on lid is very nice.

Make the hollow part of pellet wider and deeper to get more of a mushroom effect on pellet.This pellet gets good penetration due to its hardness.

Its a very good value for your money,you get 500,screw on lid and all for under $10

they have a screw on tin lid and the verity of different sizes cal. in the same tin

quality control

save your money try another brand i got stuck with 1500 of these untill resently the hollow point was it but not anymore

I was always satisfied with this product and the price is unbeatable. Great communication with Pyramyd Air when there is a problem.

Poorly manufactured and the need to straighten out Crosman’s Quality Control!!!

I was always satisfied with this pellet, but this time I hit a big blank!!! Something was totally wrong with the last delivery. My Gamo Whisper shoots very accurate and ½ inch groupings at 30 yards with Premier is usually not a big deal. I ordered 4 cans and all the pellets were purely manufactured. There was zero consistency as I measured them. I invested some time and measure several hundred of them and the result was scary. The diameter varied from 0.205 all the way up to 0.218 and they were extremely filthy. I even noticed a ¼ teaspoon of lead debris in two of the four cans. Well, needless to say, the shooting results were off the chart. I was unable to get any kind of consistent useable grouping on the paper and the hits were spread 4-5 inches around the bull’s-eye … and some of the pellets hit the target sideways after tumbling down range. I called Pyramyd Air and the lady on the phone was very friendly and helpful. I will get the pellets replaced …… I just hope they will not be from the same batch.

Not a thing

Something is way amiss with these pellets, perhaps a poorly manufactured batch.

I just got a RWS Diana 350 magnum and have been shooting it for a couple days now exclusively at 35 yard range in my backyard. The gun is not broken in yet and is not easy to shoot consistently but when I am on I can shoot quarter size groups with the Crosman Premier domed (the $22.95 box) with occasional flyers. I can easily shoot 1.5 to 2 inch groups no problem. When I switch to these hollowpoints I cannot shoot a 4 inch group even, they are all over the place. Some fit very loose in the gun and will fall out, others are too tight. Not a single shot hit where I aimed at. Incredible. I bought 3 tins and will send them all back.

I would not change a thing about this product! i own several air rifles theoben .22 MFR, FX Gladiator .22, R9 .22, BSA lighting. as every gun has its own characteristics and what it favors in a pellet i believe crossman covered all the angles when they designed the premiers. The hollowpoints perform extremely well in all my guns. As long as you have a gun that does not have sloppy tolerance in the breech you will have a joy shooting these in your gun. But recomended for high powered guns due to the dynamics of this pellet.

I would ask the manufacture as popular as the premiers are.... and as many customers have voiced there concerns as well as i have, I would thoroghly clean these!!! as they are shipped with a coating that is very messy and left over with led particles from wast forming.

In lower powered guns this waste can and may be harmful to your gun......

Great value pellet for the money.

Slightly softer lead and larger hollowpoint. Also would be nice in about 16 grain for the .22 caliber

Using these in a Walther Talon Magnum some fit a little loose and some tight. None have fell through the breech though. Accuracy seems to be good with this gun.

Price. Very accurate in all my air guns. Hard hitting.

I wish the .22 cal. versions of this pellet had the foam pads in the tins like the .177 cal. do.

Occasionally, I have opened a tin of these and found oddities. Some pellets may fit tight while others will be very loose. On rare occasions I have found hollow point ,and solid point in the same tin. I've even found hollow points that looked like two different types had been mixed. All that said, these pellets are still excellent, and work beautifully. I don't think you'll be disappointed

Nice Machining

These pellets fit very snug in my RWS34. Too snug.

I've been using Crosman Premier Ultra Mag Domes for a while and love them. I thought I'd try the hollow points. What I found is the hollow points have a much tighter fit than the domes. It's as if the hollow is stamped in the top which deforms the dome, making it larger resulting in a tighter fit. Consistancy is great, but just too tight. Quality is good but the pellets are dirty. The tin I got seemed to be fairly old and dry, not much lube. I recommend them but just beware that they are a bit larger than other ammo I've tried. They might be just the ticket for certain guns.

WOW consistantly deadly accurate..!!! These pellets really pack a hellacious punch... The vicious sound upon impact is very distinct... You dont think you hit anything, you're sure... I have 1/2''groups @ 50 yards repeatedly, w/ some passing through the same hole... Thats outdoors.!! My Beeman sportsman RS2 loves these in .22cal and .177...I have dropped 2 squirrels at 50+ yards sending the pellet through them in both cases. 1 SHOT 1 KILL. I have also dropped a crow at 65yards or so, and evan @ that distance you here the smack-down impact ( thaaa-wack ) These pellets are very accurate and carry there power a great distance...It would be foolish to not try them...

maybe make the same weight, but softer for more of a mushroom affect...these pellets dont expand much upon impact...however they do get the job done...

You cant go wrong, they're 1/2 the price or less than others of comperable weight and quality...I personally find them to be of good quality with excellent results when I do my part... Yes some do fit slightly tighter than others,but doesnt affect the shot excessively...Your talkin maybe a 1/4'' to a 1/2'' @ 40 yards... I can live w/ that...aim small miss small

price

qaulity control. i have some that fit to tight, some to small and some that are not even the same pellet. there extremely dirty compared to my jsb exacts and preds. accuracy is ok out of my current gun. i plan on buying more to test out of the modded 2240 i ordered. hoping they work good for that.

there harder pellets and dont expand much. over all they are a ok pellet for hte price.

Great pellet just bought 6 more tins..All have been the same size so far..Good pellet in my 2240 and my custom bulk filled 2250's close to mid range...My crosman NPSS dont like them to well though...Very Very Veryyyyyyyy dirty pellet worst i have ever seen! But shoot well..

Clean them up i hate touching my guns after loading 4 or 5 of them, hard to even wash it off your fingers..Never seen such dirty pellets before..

Very uniform, consistent, and accurate. So far out of all of the pellets that I have shot (Crosman 14.3 gr Hollowpoint, RWS 14.5 gr Pointed, Daisy 14.3 gr Flat-nose, Beeman 17.1gr Silver Arrow Pointed, and EuJin's 32.4 Pointed) the Crosman 14.3 gr Hollowpoint and the RWS 14.5 gr Pointed pellets are the most consistent and accurate. I'm very impressed with these and I look forward to trying out Crosman's 14.3 gr Pointed pellets, in the near future.

Nothing. As far as value, accuracy, and quality, these are hands down the best pellets for the money that I have used.

I am using a Crosman/Remington NPSS. The manufacture claims that the NPSS shoots 14.3 grain pellets at 800FPS. I have the F1 chronograph and found the 800FPS to be a bit overrated. Using these pellets, I was averaging 730FPS with 10 shots.

Nice tin

Quality Control

About 1 of 5 pellets from a brand new tin of Crossman Premier 22 caliber would actually fit in the chamber of my RWS 52. Most were too large. Of the ones that I was able to fit, some were too loose and could fall through the bore if pointed downward. My refund would pay for the return shipping cost so I wasted my money on this product. No problem with RWS Meisterkugln pellets.

WARNING - Well, like nearly everyone else, I have tried my share of brands and styles of pellets in .22, and .177 cals. As to the Premier H.P., I have fired 1200 (.177) of them thru my Crosman 1377, and 500 (.22) thru my RWS mod. 34 and untill today I've found them as good as other more expensive pellets in every way. HOWEVER ....

More consistant quality control.

HOWEVER ... today I purchased another tin of .22's and I'm very unhappy with these. The Premiers normally are a snug fit in the barrel of both of my guns, but this bunch has about 50% or more that are downright LOOSE fitting. I'm talking "Fall out of the barrel loose". On about the third shot from this new tin I noticed that the pellet was a VERY loose "drop fit" in the chamber. I closed the barrel (break barrel) and lined up on the target and fired. The gun made a loud noise I've never heard before and there was no hole in the target. I thought that they had accidently had put a .20 pellet in the tin and when fired it went wild. Two shots later I load another loose pellet and as I'm closing the barrel I happen to see the pellet fall out. Upon looking, I find 2 pellets on the concrete. That means that I DRY FIRED MY SPRINGER two shots before, because of these loose pellets. I got my micrometer and checked a few pellets and found they were random in size and several that were .004 smaller than others. I didn't check the dropped one (I pitched it when I got PO'ed about the dryfire) but I bet it was smaller yet. WARNING - you may seriously damage your gun firing the Crosman Premier Hollow Point pellets.

Nothing

I wouldn't buy them again!!!

Shoot okay to about 20-25 yards anything further groupings become difficult.
