Page 19 - Crosman Premier .22, .22 Reviews

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.

This is my second order and review on these.The price,accuracy,and good hunting pellet.You can shoot a lot for a little money.

Nothing

I have used more expensive pellets that didn't shoot near as well.

My ratings are based on the current problems I am having with this pellet. This used to be the best grouping pellet available.. read below.

I had no problem with these for years, but they are no longer uniform in size, some fall right through the barrel of my RWS-48, or are so loose that if you tip it upright after inserting the pellet they fall right out of the breach.

I contacted Stacy at PA Tech Support and reported the problem. She has contacted Crosman because I wasn't the only one experiencing the same problem.. but she hasn't received an answer as of two days ago.

I've shot these pellets for years and they were the most accurate at 40 yards that I've ever shot, consistent groups smaller than a dime. My last few tins have been horrific. About every other one is so undersized I'm afraid to shoot them because of doing damage to my gun. I actually thought there were some .177 mixed with my .22's. When I do shoot one that is undersized they drop out of the grouping by about 3 inches low at 40 yards. I'm assuming this is because they are so loose air escapes around them going down the barrel causing the velocity to drop off drastically. I don't have a Cronograph so can be specific but a loss of velocity from being so undersized sure seems to be the problem for dropping out of the group that much.

My last order was for two tins. When I noticed the problem I thought it could just be a bad tin but after opening the second brand new tin the results were exactly the same.

I sure would like to know what is going on because this was my main pellet for years and were very snug fitting, uniform and shot like a dream.

I weighed about half a tin on my scale and it has nothing to do with the weight as they all seem to be pretty consistent between 14.2 to 14.4 grains. I made three piles thinking the lighter ones must be the loose ones. But not so as some of the heavier ones fell out and some of the lighter ones fit tight, so there isn't even a way to short them by weight to get rid of the problem.

Not sure if this is a manufacturing problem or a quality control problem, but definitely a problem that needs to be looked into at Crosman. In the mean time I'm going to switch to a different pellet.

pellet after pellet are all very uniform i havent noticed any flaws in the shape or design of these wonderfull pellets, they are big and it takes me a little bit to get used to cause, the fist airgun i got was a crosman 760 pumpmaster that just recently quit but it lasted and it was 177 cal and the pellets were small but pack a punch but when i held these i know when i would go hunting i could take down whatever i wanted too out of my Beeman rs2 (great gun) this is a great pellet i ordered 4 tins which of course the 4th tin was free i just paid for the 3 tins whihc i think is a good deal

maybe a bigger hollow point cup but it still expands on contact out of my Beeman RS2 sportsman

um nothing much exept to get some money and buy 4 tins of these and get the 4th free (2000 pellets wow!!) for a little over 30$ and thats including ground 3-5 day shipping....

Very accurate in all my air guns.

those pellets are very dirty, wouldn't hurt if they were cleaner.

Corsman pellets are very hard, don't expect much expansion, they hit hard though.

The pelets that fit snug in the breche shoot well.

I would make them all the same size.

Be ware of the pellets that fit to loose in a spring gun you may get some piston slam.

I had some drop through the barrel that is when i started to measure them.

Good average pellet. Cheap.

Too hard for good expansion on game. I'm sure they will kill things, but I prefer a softer pellet for hunting.

Great for punching targets, maybe rats also.

Performed best out of 15 top rated pellets that I tried in my Benjamin Discovery.l shot strings of ten at 30 yds and recharge the rifle between each string then repeated the test, this one performed the best with the tightest 3/4"groups at 30 yds. After a lot more practice I set up 12 gauge shotgun shells at a measured 60ys. I hit all five shells with 6 shots using a RWS 4-12x50 scope, the shot that missed, grazed the shell and caused it to wobble. I also set up a target at 60yds and shot a string of 20 shots with a 2" group without recharging the rifle, two of the shots were fliers that opened up the group,or could have been pilot error. I will test some more pellets in the future but I have pretty much settled on this one being the pellet for my gun at this time

The tin comes with the lid to tight. I have to use channel lock pliers to open up each new tin.

Quantity and low price. Accuracy just as good as pointed Premiers in my Discovery at 850+ fps.

Nothing

I tried the sample pack hollow points that came with my Discovery after zeroing the scope with the pointed Premiers. Sample hollow point pellets, one inch high and to the right from the bull, where the pointed ones were zeroed. Terrilble! BUT, when I started using the ones from the 500 ct. can, there were right back dead zero on the bull. Sample packs might be made up of rejects from the regular production. They didn't look as good either. Casting pits, size differences, etc.

price. 500 per tin. screw on lid

Sizing!! Not all same diameter!

They are accurate IF you use ones that are the same size! I shot these out of my RWS 350 and some fit nice and snug, those that are snug group well. But some, actualy quite a few are undersized and fit very loose in the barrel and accuracy with these loose pellets never hit the mark! However i do still shoot these but when i get a loose one i take it out or just fire it off and move onto another pellet. These averaged 868.7 FPS in my RWS 350

The Crosman Premier Hollow Points are some of the most accurate, hardest hitting, and consistent pellets Ive used. I've been shooting them on pretty much a daily basis in my RWS 34P and RWS48 and so far their performance has been second only to the RWS superdomes. Ive been told these pellets perform well for most airguns but my experience so far has only been with RWS. Definitely among the best Ive seen.

Nothing really.

These are very consistent in delivering punch and accuracy. Absolutely worth a try.

The cost, how many you get. they shoot great in all of my rifles with no, or little keying. at 10yards - 50yards. good grouping too

nothing

I can't think of anything. sorry Guys.
