Crosman SSP .177 Cal, 4.0 Grains, Pointed, Lead-Free, 250ct

My Crossman pump pistol loves these pellets. I chronograph over 700 fps and by far my most accurate pellet. Shot a squirrel @ 50 yards off hand no problem. (surprised me). Anyway. I notice they are not available now. Story of my life....

Nothing!

They look great, shiny and none were deformed. Being supersonic, the sound was cool.

Not much, other than a tin that doesn't fight you to remove the lid. Mine stripped out/cross threaded on me.

Chronograph shows 1,292 fps average, in my Benjamin np2 rifle.
Now my Benjamin np2 pistol, they came out at
582 fps average.
But with these lightweight pellets, they are no way accurate. Seems as though everyone is a flyer.

I purchased this 4.00 grain Crosman Premier pellet as a fps test on four of my .177 air rifles. This pellet was also shot thru my older Crosman 66 multi pump, which it performed well.

I prefer Domed pellets over pointed or hollow point.

This pellet was shot in strings of five shots from each air rifle, plus the Crosman 66. The Ruger Air Magnum shot this 4.00 grain lead free pellet at a five shot average of 1505 fps with a high of 1532 fps and a low of 1476 fps. The Gamo Big Cat 1250 averaged 1264 fps with a high of 1284 fps and a low of 1217 fps. The Gamo Hunter "220" averaged 1142 fps with a high of 1156 fps and a low of 1132 fps. The Beeman RS2 Silver Kodiak averaged 1152 fps with a high of 1182 fps and a low of 1108 fps. The Crosman 66 Powermaster multi-pump averaged 789 fps with a high of 794 fps and a low of 782 fps. This pellet would not have hunting success and it did not hit the 2" target that was stuck on a 12"x18" box at 70 feet away, some shots missed the box altogether. I would purchase this pellet for use on the Crosman 66 and only for testing on my break barrels that were used in this review. All of my four break barrels are not "neighbor friendly" when shooting this pellet. Shot in 52-55 deg. weather.

These are Fantastic in all of my pistols, All of my Co2 pistols shoot these w/ authority, especially my Gamo's, PT 85, P 25, PT 80, and are simply Great in my Gamo PR-776 revolver, Also great in my Crosman's The Vigilante, and it's predecessor 357, Not too good in the 1088, but then again nothing's too accurate w/ that shooter. But they absolutely shine in my Dan Wesson 8" pellet revolver, and in my *New* Dan Wesson 715, but with that shooter, Since pellet length is of no concern, It is simply a joy to shoot with Skenco Type 1's @ 5.4gr,. as well as the Skenco Type 4 "Black Max" match rounds, The 715 can stack those rounds at 10 meters, and the Skencos will go through 2 cans placed one after the other, while other "Alloy" pellets may enter only one side of a can or just bounce and leave a dent. In my Rifles, my modded XS-B4-2A will send them out screaming at close to 1000 fps, same goes for my "Modded XS-B9, In my Daisy 953, they stack them @ 25ft w/ a m/v of almost 600fps

Add a little more weight, say 6.5gr,. would be great for most shooters, and would shoot much better in Rifle applications

They are a little pricey, but in certain pistols, they are great, My Beeman P17, is one hell of a Squirrel Terminator well up to 40 ft. with these!

They make many of my low powered guns into mini power houses that allows me to use them afield an start to enjoy them again. I like the higher fps they give my guns,They seem to be pretty well made.I don't use them for target shooting only a field for small pest control.

Offer a larger quantity,They should not make the lids so tight that one ends up ruining the tin trying to loosen the lid.A little more quality control I found a lot of bent and dented pells.

When trying to open a tight lid be careful
not to squeeze the tin or you'll damage a lot
of pellets doing so.Visually check when you can
so you won't load a bent or misformed pellet that may
affect a springer type gun by not having a good cushion
of air between them.

The light weight,I don't use them for target shooting I use them in my lower powered co2 pistols for higher velocities and enable me to use some of them for pests that I normaly would have to use a higher powered gun for.Don't expect match grade quality but they aren't bad and they will hit what you aim at.

Offer larger tins and a better quality control I found a lot of dented ones and by the way they are very loose in the tins so that means they were put in the tins from the die to the can without some control.

Like I said above don't expect match grade performance,but if you
want to add zip to lower powered guns at four grains they are
the ones,by the way I weighed some at random and 90% were
four grains and a few were one two grains above and below
the 4 grains listed on the tin.

Light and nice shape.

Amount

Fit kinda loose in my dan Wesson Pellet gun, not sure about the other guns yet but they also jammed and missfired in that particular gun.

The light weight I use them in my lesser powered air guns both calibers.177 &.22.The velocity really jumps,I don't know because of their light weight,Would any harm come from using them in springers,I mostly use them in my co2 gun where there won't be that problem.

I found more than the usual amount of dented and deformed pellets considering they only come in 200./250 per tin. But if one wants to have a higher fps in a lower powered gun then these are the answer,Don't expect match quality shooting from them but they serve a purpose.

Because of their light weight they tend to be all over past 15 yards,and muzzle energy is low.I don't think they have enough
knock down power for anything larger than the smallest of pests.

they are fast movers

they aren't accurate in my Gamo rifle

they are quite accurate and sight of my 10 pump benjamin

i like that they are lead free and they look well made

accuracy

they should call these lighting they never strike the same place twice
