Page 18 - Crosman Premier .22, .22 Reviews

Accuracy, energy and penetration. Shot through dog food can at 75 yards consistently using Remmington NPSS.

Every few pellets were too big and some too small. 500 tin but you really only get 400 good ones at this rate.

Worth the money. Good hunting pellet. Just toss the bad ones.

Price is attractive but you can only use 50% of the pellets...

Quality controls!!! Every other pellet is so small that I just falls out of the breech. The other half is so tight you almost damage them by pushing them in. The pellets are dirty and full of lead debris.

I only shoot with the tight ones which seem to be consistent with my Gamo Whisper .22, the lose ones are so bad I only get a 2 inch grouping at 15 yards.

These pellets are amazing!!! Just today, I was shooting these pellets and also some Daisy Precision Max wadcutters. There was a clear difference in quality between the Crosmans and the Daisy pellets. At 10 yards in a controlled environment, I was shooting very tight and consistent groups out of an ancient springer. So even in old guns, Crosman quality is definitely noticeable. In comparison to the Daisy Precision Max pellets, the CP Hollow Points shot as straight as an arrow, not even hinting like they were going to keyhole. On the other hand, the Daisy pellets would keyhole every 2 or 3 pellets. As you can see, these pellets stand tall and proud over other competitors.

Not much........maybe one or two pellets are deformed for every 1000 pellets or so that I buy. Other than that, amazing consistency and uniform construction make these pellets top of the line.

The .177 version of these are a snug fit in the barrel so these also could be a little snug too. I am not completely sure of this because I haven't had the chance to shoot these out of my new Gamo Big Cat .22 yet.

Quality

There is always room for improvement.

This is a quality hollow point pellet. Yes they cost a little more, but they are worth it. I like hitting the bulls-eye. I have used the lower cost pellets. I find it annoying when I aim at the bulls-eye and the pellet goes astray. You also get 500 in a box. That will keep you shooting for a while.

good hard hiting at long range and very accurate good price.

none

shooting out of a BSA lighting and a RWS 48

before i bought these I did a lot of research on pyramydair, (thank you guys for all the info) and I learned that the domed and hollow points are the best all around pellets. that is exactly what i need. with my beeman rs2 .22 cal set up I'm able to get through 3/4" of ply wood! awesome penetration.

nothing at all.

If you are looking for the best all around pellet, these are it!

Exellent pellets. I shoot these out of modded 1322 Medalists and they hit hard and accurate. Tried out different pellets and these seem to do the most damage. The thicker skirt seems to add stability and they are good in the wind. Also use these with a custom shop 2300 with fine results. With these higher power pistols you can easily take rodents at 100'. With all the variables in air gun shooting, sticking with the same pellet eliminates one.

Nothing

Good deal for the money.

PRICE ACCURACY HARD HITTING

BETTER QUALITY CONTROL. HALF FIT LOOSE HALF FIT TIGHT WHICH AFFECTS ACCURACY BUY 1/2 TO 1" WHICH MEANS I HAVE TO REMEMBER TWICE THE AMOUNT OF HOLDS FROM 5 TO 60' WHEN HUNTING. BOTH TYPES ARE DEAD ON ACCURATE THOUGH. SMALL PRICE TO PAY FOR WHAT THEY COST.

I USE THESE IN 34P KNOW UNLESS ITS WINDY THEN I USE P-MAGS. I WROTE A REVIEW FOR BEEMAN FTS COPPER PLATED PELLETS AND MENTIONED BUYING A BUNCH BUT WHILE WAITING FOR PELLETS TO ARRIVE AT PA I DECIDED TO BUY A TIN OF THESE AND WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED BECAUSE THEY GROUPED AS WELL AS THE BEEMANS FOR HALF THE PRICE AND MORE THEN DOUBLE THE QUANTITY. THE CPHP'S ARE ALSO GOOD FOR CHEAP TARGET PRACTICE AS WELL. THE 34P EATS THESE UP.

Best .22 cal pellet in my opinion

0

Best .22 cal pellet in my opinion very very very accurate with great expansion and hard to believe the grouping with 18 different air rifles
beeman benjamin crosman and especially the phenominal BIG CAT my goodness what else can I say Thank You Pyramid Air for the lowest prices in the Buisness!!!!!!!

Very hard hitting, rabbit head shots @ 40yds no problem (1000fps)

None

Consistency with but a few fliers. Overall, they are hard to beat in quality, accuracy, consistency and price. I love these pellets. I get 1" groups at 100 yards with my 800+ fps, self-tuned .22 cal. Crosman NPSS.

Nothing. You get 500 pellets in a screw-lid tin for around $7.00. How could you go wrong?

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.
