I'm getting familiar with this product 'but seems to be great for the money,highly recommend the product -Thank you-Neil

don't fix what isn't broken

I'm new at this ,they probably could tell me some things

This is the way to buy pellets! Have worked perfectly so far. Accuracy has been great, even with open sites. Seems like less bad pellets than with the more expensive ones and I have gotten some very expensive pells.

Quantity with quality

Make sure the box has shrink wrap. They shift in shipping and they will be all over shipping box however in my case Pyramydair went beyond to make it right

I don't have enough experience to comment.

They just work fine

My fault but I am only doing plinking so I should of purchased the 500 count tins and saved money I guess I don't know the difference in the box and the tin.

If you are just plinking away and shooting cans save money and purchase the tins.

I like that three of my pistols and two of my rifles seem to LOVE LOVE LOVE these pellets, giving me DIME SIZED GROUPINGS at around 10 meters_ SERIOUSLY. Of course, there IS the occasional 'flyer', but not NEAR so much as many other pellets I have tried, and people, I have tried them ALL. Well, at least OVER forty-three types.

Not much needs changing, other than the occasional deformed skirt of the slug, but I think this is due to the way the box is handled during shipping... maybe.

Nope, nothing else. Just KEEP ON SHOOTIN'!

Reasonably priced and the 1250 count. The CPL pellet is the most accurate in my HW 95. This seems to be common in the .177 Beeman R9 and HW 95 based on forum reviews. I didn't see any damaged pellets in this shipment.

Some of the pellets can be quite snug fitting at the breech. My fingers tend to get sore if loading a lot of pellets during target shooting. Consistent quality control (for pellet head size) is not quite on the same level on as JSB or H&N products. None-the -less these things are really accurate in my German air rifle.

Pyramid Air offers a great variety and the best price on air rifle pellets. Shipping and packaging is very good. I have now received shipment of pellets in the tens of thousands from PA and all have arrived in good condition.

The price is great for a moderately good, domed pellet.

I weighed a batch of 10 and they averaged 8.08 grains. Just a little over the specified 7.9 gr. Shooting a group of 25 at 10 yds the center to center spread was 0.554 inches and the average radius was 0.169 with a speed of 681 fps and standard deviation of 6 fps.

I'm shooting a CO2 powered RWS Hammerli 850 in .177.

They shoot very well in my air pistol and air rifle. I use them for practice.

Seal the box better before shipment, I always end up with a lot of pellets loose in the packing.

They are the best pellet for my R9, and close to the best, maybe just edged out by JSB Express in my HW50S. Launched from the R9, they consistently go into tiny little groups barely bigger than a pellet at 15 yards and consistently under a dime at 30 yards.

I wish they didn't foul the barrel (and my fingers) so much.

I need to pull a patch through my barrel often to maintain best accuracy with these pellets. With my last box, I tried washing and lubing with Pledge, and they seemed to shoot as good as out of the box. However, with current box, I tried taking a shortcut and lubing some with Pledge without washing them first, and they lost a noticeable bit of accuracy as compared to straight out of the box. I'm sure airgunners looking for the best possible accuracy will experiment with what works best in their barrels.

I like the box, the pellets are clean and without parting lines, .00166 per pellet more expensive than the tinned cpl's= well worth it, "buy 4 and one is free" deal makes it better. My 3 HW's (30, 97 & 98) like them so I stocked up on this batch.

Not exactly related to this particular item but is to air gun ammo: Maybe add a "batch reserve" option? I know that some precision sales sites will advertise batch # and date details for ammo and allow a purchase that reserves a quantity of that batch after initial end user accuracy testing. For those shooting FT and Airgun BR this may be a an attractive option. Then again this may end up tough on the sales side. Only a suggestion.

Airguns are sometimes pellet fussy, as I've said in previous reviews. I revisited Crosman's Premiere boxed pellets years after swearing them off as I couldn't get them to perform to my liking. I'm quite pleased with them this trial. They shoot as well as my preferred JSB and better depending on the AG. Some airguns may shoot the tinned CPL/HP ok to well but the boxed version is of better overall consistency. Chances are the boxed pellets will make the airgun shoot even better. Try em!

Fit, size, shape. Seem very consistent.

A metal tin / box with screw on lid or hinged detents would be a lot better than the cardboard box.

Using these in my Early '80's Crosman 664x Powermaster Model 66c. It just seems to love them. Nice groups. Accurate.

This lot of CPLs arrived quite nice and clean. Have not seen any deformed skirt or parting lines. Packaging as shipped from PA was Very good, ie no loose pells and secured well to prevent damage. After experiencing poor results in the past in many airguns, I had written CPLs off. Decided I'd revisit them and am happy I did. The shoot very well in my current stable of HW's. I consider them a great value when buying in bulk. Buy 4, Pay for 3 really helps.

At this point not a thing as they meet and exceed my expectations.

Airguns are typically ammo picky. If they work well for you use them, if not move on to another pellet. I've gotten lucky with informed choices and buying appropriately. The pellet sampler packs would be of great help for those that do not have that option. The latest lots of the Crosman Premiers in the box are good in my airguns- maybe they are in yours too?

Good practice pellet. They shoot very well in my Daisy Avanti 853. They shoot okay in a Hammerli AR20FT and okay in a Walther LGV master. Shoot terribly in an AirForce Talon. Skirts are fairly consistent and doesn't look like many pellets in the box are damaged.

Package in metal tins.

Decent pellet. A little less accurate in my rifles than their European counterparts. These pellets are noticeably harder than the European ones I shoot regularly.

Packaging has improved with the foam fillers to keep the pellets from spilling out of the box. Buy four and the fourth box is free, in this case you end up with 5,000 rounds-you shouldn't be running out to soon. Pellets come out of the box fairly clean, some lead scrap found during washing. Accurate pellet through a Benjamin Marauder (squirrel at 45 yards with just the head showing)

I cleaned and lubed one box and have found a few bent skirts already with the 100+ I have shot so far, so they need to improve quality control a bit.

This is the second time I have used these pellets, the first box I shot through my Air Arms TX 200 MK 3 and could consistently hit bottle caps at 30 meters. With this new order the AA is showing a lot of inconsistent POA/POI. Tried them through my Benjamin Marauder at +1,000 FPS and other than the crack (speed of sound) they are holding good groups. Like all pellets some work better than others. I would still recommend these pellets for the value and consistency.

I like the large volume. Price per pellet is very good. Performance is slightly less than JSB or AA pellets. My Hammerli AR20ft shoots them for ten shot group average of 1.071" at 52.5 yards. I shot over 20 ten shot groups for the average in variable wind.

Wish the box had a paper or plastic bag liner. Some the pellets would fall out from the corners of the cardboard box. Pellets are dirty with loose lead flakes. I usually pour them out onto a large piece of brown paper and gently roll them to until the flakes separate. I return them to the original box with a paper liner added.

I usually use these pellets for indoor practice and can be used for field target when JSBs or AAs are not available.

Had never tried a light pellet like this one. It is a very accurate pellet, and can hammer a grackle at fifty yards, that's for sure.

All seems cool.

I shoot these pellets out of pretty inexpensive pellet guns (Gamo Silent Cat, and Gamo Whisper). Off of a bench rest at about forty five yards, I can pretty well hit a fifty cent size circle quite consistently.

Pyramyd Air service.

Packaging. The cardboard (Crosman) box the pellets come in leak pellets into the Pyramyd Air packaging during shipping. Extra effort should be made to cure this.

the consistency of weight wile not being a match grade pellet

nothing it is what it is

i weigh my pellets and i weighed this whole box and got 4 variance in weights and thats a good thing. i got a few 7.9 a ton of 8 gr and 8.1 and a few 8.2gr...i have a crosman fury and the groups at 35 yards are in a 1 inch bull with 8gr crosman premier domes. but none of this means it will happen for you. but it could

Well made and fit rotary magazine properly

Very dirty

Leave a lot of led and dirt in the air gun.

These pellets appear to be well shaped and shoot well in my Crosman 1077 and 1377.

The packaging is not the greatest. The box opened up during shipment with pellets scattered all over the box which resulted in multiple squashed skirts. I would suggest at least placing a band of shrink wrap or packing tape around the boxes for shipment.

Overall a decent pellet, although a bit pricey.
