10 of 21 Crosman Silver Eagle Pellets .177 Reviews
Newley designed pellet from previous by crosman.All uniform and consistent.Lead free .This newer Crosman pellet says"Super Sonic Pellet" on tin.And is 4.0 gr. in weight.
Things I Would Have ChangedNothing,Perfect lead free. A pointed design would be better penetration.
What Others Should KnowThis is the improved version of previous pellet and lighter also ,at 4.0 gr. Tested on my crosman T4 8 shot crosman and did not work well at all.Every clip attempt to fire jammed a pellet .Semi flat nose design and very hard alloy type metal content of this pellet seemed to be the problem in chambeing after each cycle.A few did fire with extreme velocity but others didnt ever leave clip .Maybe extra oil on pellets might do the trick. When tested on the Crosman 1077 12 shot repeater ,PERFECT! Every pellet fired .No miss fires also.Increased velocity was excellent.and accuracy is not perfect but at 25 feet , its ok.The light weight seemed to limit the damage to targets i had.Amazingly did penetrate some compressd particle board.Penetration on soda cans is ok but,on heaveier metal targets ,only dents outside . The flat nose design prevents penetration on hard objects.But is still a pellet of choice each time i go target shooting.Lead free is perfect not to worry of contaminating a certain area.If not stopped at a pellet trap it will richochette wildly (Wear eye protection at close or any range distances).Crosman did do a perfect re-manufacture to this ammo.Will buy again if still available .
Great for low powered air guns and works better than expected,accuracy not bad.
Things I Would Have ChangedA bit oversize compared to lead , Make 500 count tins available,A BIT EXPENSIVE for 250 count tin.
What Others Should KnowThey don,t work well in target type guns, such as IZ46 they stick in bbl about half of the time, but work good in Wather lever,most co2,s Great in Browning 800 gets high 700 fps to low 800,s
This is the second generation /better designed .177 pellet from Crosman.Excellent inprovement. All are consistant/uniform in shape.Sharper nose/hollow point than previous issued lead free pellets a few years ago.
Things I Would Have ChangedNothing .These are an extreem improvement from same concept lead free pellets ,Crosman did very well to bring this pellet back from the ones that were deformed/extremely larger than .177 rotary magazines size.
What Others Should KnowSome how not sure why Pyramyd air didnt change the name of this pellet and picture of this most current line of pellet from Crosman.The name on the package and tin reads "Super Sonic Pellets" not "Silver Eagle" anymore. Any way i am very glad Crosman engineered this pellet right! It works perfect for my Crosman 1077 12 shot.perfect fit in each rotary clip. Yes it is a very light pellet and at 20-25 feet is accurate,and there are a few fly aways too.But , i like that no lead is used and dont have to worry of contaminating a certain area with ones that do miss/richochette off targets. A good utility pellets for hitting cans at long distance ,but it is not a power house penetraring pellet .Then again i have only tested on the 1077 which went to about 700 fps with this pellet.Also this pellet doesnt shoot well in the crosman T4.A few did well but,some got stuck in magazine.So i will stick with round nose pellets for this pistol. Lastly, it is a perfect pellet and this new version seemed to be more softer metal i noticed on skirts and some of the noses after seeing them bend more easily after shot. Work perfect in the 1077 -12 shot rifle and i definatly will buy more.
light weight and subsequent velocity increase, really cool looking, and the accuracy really isn't all that bad.
Things I Would Have Changedmaybe add a little of some softer non- lead metal to the alloy or put some additive in to make the alloy a little more maluable... this would help immensely with the consistancy of the pellets
What Others Should Knowthese pellets are very light but are also very hard and brittle... they do, however help boost fps in lower powered guns like my chinese B3-1. that being said, they are not exactly the most consistent of pellets but i have yet to find any severe defects in my tin... they are certainly not for magnum guns though
Worked very well in my Crosman T4 -8 shot Co2 hand gun.This was my last resort purchase pellet.Before this pellet i used heavier lead and couldnt get em to go through thin aluminum cans at close range with Crosman T4.But these Silver Eagle pellets have the power to go through heavier metal tins,WOW!!Seems like this is the only pellet i am satisfied with as for power and penetrating ability the Crosman T4 can deliver.I almost returned my T4 to store where purchased but,not after i tried these pellets,,,Was amazed with the F.P.S velocity increase.
Things I Would Have ChangedThe first ones i bought were not uniform/consistant.Found 25% didnt fit my rotary magazine (Too large or small/deformed).I was just going to blow it off and use the ones i could but called the customer service at crosman and they sent me a replacement tin and was allowed to keep originals also,cool.With more designs of this same pellet/weight ,this would be a perfect ammo for lower power co2 air pistols.
What Others Should KnowTry this pellet out!!Works great in my Crosman T4 and i am sure it will increase your velocity in your particular co2 air gun also.
Very short pellet so it should fit in all magazines out there. Light weight to help boost pistol fps for casual plinking. Non-lead
Things I Would Have ChangedThe pellets have very poor shape consistency - the skirts are often oblong (about 20% from the 3 tins I've looked in so far.) It's a hard alloy so it isn't caused by shipping vibration like on thin lead skirts, it's a mfg problem. They are also very dirty and have lots of pieces of 'flash' floating around in the cans.
What Others Should KnowIf you are looking for a good, but cheap, lead-free pellet, I'm very impressed with the 'Beretta .177 Cal, 4.5 Grains, Flat Nose, 400/Tin, Lead-Free'. It's cheaper, about the same weight, seems to fly better (more accurate), and has very good mfg consistancy. It is longer then this pellet, but does fit Crosman 12 and 8 shot mags.
Geat velocity
Things I Would Have Changedweight of the pellets
What Others Should KnowBad for outdoors in high velocity guns it will go supersonic and make a loud cracking sound, that happens when this pellet goes supersonic speed, coming out of the barrel 1100 Fps or more and breaks into the sound barrier outside the barrel making that cracking sound waking the neighbors or alaming the police that get very angry at you. I was also shooting a paper target from 20 yards away it keyholed the paper. Keyholing in other words is hitting the target side ways this happens when the pellet destablizes before hitting the target so all in all bad pellet and bad buy.
they sound cool,seem to be pretty accurate.
Things I Would Have Changedthey are so light,they don't seem to do much penetrating damage,may be a good thing for hunting something pretty small,but in my experience with these,I was shooting a target made of about4 layers of corrigated cardboard with a tree behind it,and at 30 yrds and probably around 1300 fps by then,i found most of these pellets lying on the ground,completely slowed down by cardboard.
Not much. They look neato, but that's about it.
Things I Would Have ChangedThey're too light for 12 FPE or more rifles unless you like hearing the supersonic CRACK of the sound barrier being broken. Really spoils the idea of airguns being quiet. Accuracy was so-so for lower powered guns. I didn't accuracy test the more powerful rifles because of the noise. EXPENSIVE! at $10 for 250 pellets
What Others Should KnowI tested expansion in water. Even when shot from a TX200 that generally runs 16-17 FPE with heavier pellets, they didn't expand. They didn't expand from the lower powered R9 (12-14 FPE) and other than the rifling marks, looked unfired when fired into water from the R7 (6 FPE). The whole point in a hollow point pellet is for it to EXPAND to transfer energy and damage more tissue. At least in water, these won't expand even at supersonic impact speeds. The Crosman Destroyer however, expanded like gangbusters at moderate impact speeds.

The pellets are lead-free and environmentally friendly.
Things I Would Have ChangedThe pellets are too light at 4.8 grams. I shot 10 pellets with a Crosman Recruit at a range of 25 feet after pumping the rifle 4 to 5 times. The pellets were stopped by a cardboard box holding my target. Although some pellets were lodged in the cardboard, several other pellets did not penetrate the cardboard. One pellet even ricochetted! However, using the same rifle and shooting parameters, I shot 10 Crosman Field Hunting pellets (7.4 grams) with drastically different results. All the lead, 7.4 grams pellets easily penetrated the cardboard, and several pellets lodged in the opposite wall of the cardboard box. The accuracy of the Silver Eagle and Field Hunting pellets were similar, and the increased velocity of the Silver Eagle seemed minimal. In short, the light weight and flat nose of the Silver Eagle pellet renders it a poor choice for backyard targe practice, and a poorer choice for pest control. Low-velocity, backyard shooters should not purchase the Silver Eagle pellets.
What Others Should KnowUnlike me, If you do your research, you can find a lead-free, environmentally-friendly pellet suitable for low-velocity, backyard shooting. Pyramid Air features an extensive array of pellets--and finding just the right pellet is part of the fun.
