Page 4 - Crosman Premier Heavy, .177 Reviews

These really group good in my M-Rod.45 yard 5 shot groups under 1 inch regularly. Really like the shipping deal and getting a free box every 3 that you buy. The box they were shipped in protected the pellets really well. Always have great luck with the C-P's.

Everything is fine the way it is.

I store all my pellets in screw top plastic storage containers with pellet lube because the cardboard is not good to store pellets in.(they kinda canker up)

I really like these pellets, because after talking with Crosman, they sort these pellets which reduces the amount of fliers. I have two pellet rifles, a NPSS Remington .177. And I use these pellets in the Remington up to 150', and they have great knock down power. After 150' I use the H&N 8.64 grain domed pellets, which I have shot up to 250'. My second pellet rifle is a Crosman 2100 classic, and these work great up to 100'.

Nothing I can think of, as I said they sort these which is a benefit to any pellet rifle shooter.

I like buying the 1250 count boxes.

Great value..! great pellets.!

Pellets fall leak from the box.

DON'T buy it in .22...!!, only 625 ct.

I gave them 4 stars overall since they are not the best performer in my airgun, (1.5 inches @ 30yds). Still plenty accurate to handle the pests on my place.

The box will allow pellets to fall out! I put my box in a plastic bag to ensure I don't lose any. I have found a higher number of deformed pellets than I would like, (i.e. 5-10 after shooting only 200 so far). The skirts were flattened. I may have gotten a questionable box or one that was man-handled in shipping?

Good all-around pellet. I would still purchase them for practice or close-in hunting.

perfect for powerful guns.., very accurate..!! great value.

pellets fall out the sides of the box.

save your old pellet cans and use them for these

these new die lot 1 are de best.

nothing.

these are the very best for shooting Benchrest games.these are spot on.

I'm glad to see that Pyramyd has remedied the leaky box situation for these, by wrapping the box in "Clear Plastic Wrap" - works great! These are being shot out of a RWS P5 springer & produce an acceptable velocity thru a chrono & relatively tight group. These work good for me.

I would like to see a "sampler" offered for these, to try-out before you invest in this quantity. No, & not a screw-type tin either!

I read a lot of these comments & get a kick out of the comments about "screw type tins". I prefer the "snap-open, snap-shut" plastic "gum" & "M&M" containers found @ the check-out counter @ Wal-Mart, to keep my pocket pellets in!

Price,and guality.

nuthing

This is the only way to buy your pellets.

Not expensive

Quite a few bent skirts. Having this many pellets in a box increases the likelihood of their deformation

Contrary to what most Marauder owners have experienced, these worked horrible in my new .177 Marauder! Flyers, Point of Impact shifting off to the right , to the left, up, down, diagonally... phew! I actually got a return authorization for the Marauder from PA but then I decided to try other non Crosman/Benjamin pellets. JSBs worked out very well and I am keeping the gun.

Quality heavy weight pellet for maximum penetration.

Nothing

great deal especially if bought in bulk.

Fairly priced compared to other quality pellets. Shoot well in a variety of guns.

More secure package to prevent pellets leaking out in shipment.

A little dirtier than most pellets. Have read they may require lubing to prevent fouling at velocities greater than 800-900 fps.

awesome price for quality field target pellets

soften em up. more lead, less antimony.

With Diana RWS 360 Magnum striker combo (3000 rounds old) I can get five shot groups of 5" at 110 yards on a breezy day. yes 110 yards. YOU MUST SEAT EACH PELLET BEFORE FIRING. this is what allows me to touch such far ranges. The things about these pellets is that the head is slightly wider than normal and the skirts arn't all perfectly uniform. Seating the pellets eliminates all of these problems but lengthens the reload time by about 2 seconds a pellet. contact me at alagana@umbc.edu and mention airguns in the subject if you are curious about how I shoot long range or just have questions about springers in general. I don't use PCP rifles.

They hit where I aim them with great accuracy using my gamo hunter 220 (shot dozens of other chain store pellets and none of them would group at all unless you count a group as a spray over the entire lid of a large pizza box at 50 yds.)

The box, last package I ordered was busted open and had a padded envelope full of pellets.

The weight of the pellet may slow the velocity a bit but I'll take consistency over fps.

Very uniform. I'm halfway through the box and have not found a single deformed pellet

They should be cleaned before they are packed.

At first, I thought that my quest for the perfect pellet was at an end. With my my Gamo Varmint Hunter in my 15 yard indoor range, I was tack driving. I was soon disappointed when I took it outside and began testing at 25 yards, the average range at which I dispatch pesky rodents. Fifteen yards seemed to be the maximum range at which I could expect consistent performance. As I continued to test them, the groupings got progressively worse to the point where I think my Daisy Red Ryder would have done better. Then, I cleaned the bore of the Varmint Hunter and was in for a big surprise. The previously clean bore was now so full of lead detritus that I'm surprised anything got through it. After a thorough cleaning involving a wire brush, solvent, and about 20 patches, the groupings immediately improved. But, that only lasted for about 6 rounds, after which the groupings once again got worse. I cleaned the bore again and was appalled at the amount of deposits I found. Clearly the problem is that the pellets are very dirty and will quickly foul the bore of any rifle. I also tried them on my Gamo Big Cat with similar results. It seems the only way to get consistently good performance with these pellets is to either clean them before using them or clean the bore of your rifle every few rounds, neither of which I am willing to do. I used to be a gunpowder user. Not having to clean the rifle every time I used it was one of the major reasons I switched to air gunning. My quest continues. Wish me luck.

The quality made ones work great! About 10% unusable.

Better quality control; consistency

Every box is very consistent.Tried numerous pellets in my M rod and ended up giving them all away.Discovered Napier Pellet Lube[2 drops in little plastic boxes of about 100 pellets then tumble carefully]resulted in 10 shot groups as little as 7/16 c to c at 45 yds in no wind. Still grouped 1 1/4 in 20 m.p.h.wind gusts. The Napier pellet lube made a great pellet even better.No I don't work for them,I just state facts.

Crosman, Please don't change any thing! Great little plastic boxes with screw top lids can be found at Wal-Mart in the ladies make-up section.Absolutely perfect for pellets.even got different colors. Cheeeeeeep too! Couple drops of the pellet lube and tumble to spread oil evenly and you CANNOT!!! do any better than that!

Buy at least a 100 dollars worth of the pellets from Pyramid and get free shipping plus they give you a box for every 3 you buy! Fellow air gunners,you can't do any better! Done Tried!

The heavier pellet is helpful with wind here. I use these for hunting and the heavier pellet is less deflected by the wind.

The box is not too cool so I offloaded all the pellets to empty tins I had leftover from previous purchases.

I find these pellets fit very well in my Benjamin and Camo rifles. Often other brands of pellets do not seal the chamber thus letting air to leak around the pellets skirt cutting back on the exit velocity and effectiveness of the pellet.

Seem to be the best performing pellet out of the 3 guns I've shot in competition last year. My USFT and Daystate MK4is shoot dime sized groups at 50 yards without wind.

Uniformity from one size to the next. Different dies will produce different results out of your guns. Make sure you buy 4 boxes when you buy because when you reorder it will more than likely be a different die.

These pellets aren't that great for hunting as they are so hard they just pierce right through the animal without any expansion or deformity. However, due to their weight and ballistic coefficient (BC) it will allow you to take slightly further shots. Handsdown the best pellet for the field target sport. More national champions have one using these pellets than any other.

accuracy, and highly aerodynamic design. look it up one of the highest ballistic coefficients in .177 by far the highest in their price range. simply outstanding energy retention down range.

packaging, offer these pellets in tins. in fact if anyone from crosman is reading this offer these pellets in tins, in the 1250 count box, in a 100000 count ammo box, in every retail store that you sell rifles, just sell them everywhere these pellets make your rifles look great.

tested in benjamin/crosman discovery @ 20, 50,and 100 yards

Economical, consistent, accurate, come highly recommended.

I had a problem with a lot of them falling out of the box. The front was taped, so I opened it from the side. The way the box is folded, the sides keep the box together.

The skirts are softer than some of the other pellets I have used, which help the pellets conform to a tight fit. You just have to look at them before you load to make sure they are round and handle them in such a way that you don't bend the skirts. If you do a lot of shooting, you know how easy it is to go through a tin of 200 or 250 pellets. For a lot of shooting, 500 is good 1250 is better,
