Crosman Premier .22 Cal, 14.3 Reviews

Tell us what you think
The weight is perfect for higher and medium powered air riffles. The lead is harder than most which allows for deeper penetration due to less expansion: harder hitting. Its shallow skirt cavity allows less drag for less loss in fps over distance. This is excellent value for a tin of 500. Walmart, you cant beat their normal price of $7.00 a tin. The cheaper price DOES NOT reflect that this is a low quality pellet. Zero your rifle in with these first, then shoot the others you will find that those expensive 14.3 grain foreign pellets, at best, might equal this, but will cost you 50% more than these.
Crosman should make a 20 grain .25 caliber for my Remington VTR725 air rifle. Nothing as far as this caliber is concerned.
My Umarex Octane (non no shox) and Benjamin Summit NP2 shoots these all year long at 810 to 845 fps, depending on the weather temperatures. It appears the higher fps in warmer weather. I have 22 different type of .22 caliber pellets in different grainage and head configuration. Right now these are the go-to pellets for these two air rifles. When I run out, I will then zero these rifles to another pellet as my go-to. Get a chronograph. Woodys World.
The price is good but these pellets are useless.
crosmans quality control is horrible. my first 3 tins were excellent on my 4th most of the pellets were undersized. could not get any decent groupings. pellets are all over the paper. replaced scope, mounts, bases, gun. did not suspect the pellets.
I was shooting these pellets for a about 2 months. My first 3 tins were excellent.
I was getting dime sized groupings at 20 yards with an occasional flyer. Then all of a sudden i could'nt hit a barn door. At first i did'nt suspect these pellets cause
they've been so good in the past. I suspected everything else, scope,mounts,bases, even the gun. I was about to give up when my brother in laws neighbor let me try some rws hobbies. what a difference. back to shooting same hole over and over and having fun again. I ordered 8 tins of hobbies, 2 tins of jsb exacts dome 18.1 grains, 3 tins of rws super domes, 3 tins of rws h point. all seem to be pretty good especially the jsb's. I'm going to try different weights and be ordering from pyramid air again. Got my order pretty fast.

I use them at low power indoors and they work well.
Cheap, not inexpensive
Very inconsistent shapes. Just look at the stock photo used up above, they look just as bad in person . Looks like the lead bleeds out of the molds.
Very inconsistent, Tried with multiple high end pellet rifles. These review is of the ones currently being made in Spain . Same rating I would give for .177cal and .22cal The other one’s giving These pellets such great reviews must be using tin cans at like 15 yards.
These pellets are like winning the trifecta. You don't have to pay a premium, the size is great, and the shape distribution is awesome. I shoot nothing but Crosman hollow points and the ultra magnums. They are amazingly accurate. My husband and I shoot paper and metal targets for healthy competition with .22 cal Hatsan Flashpups. He doesn't shoot Crosman pellets, and I consistently whip his a** .
A .25 caliber pellet would be awesome!
Pyramydair has the best prices . The screw top tins are great. Also the way Pyramydair packages their pellets, you don't have to worry about receiving them damaged.
Good price for these pellets haven't shot them yet.
Nothing
Good price
Shoots pretty good in my marauder
Shoots way better in my gun then the piranha same weight and everything. Piranha shoots about a 3 inch group at 25 yards 10 shots . And the hollow points shoots nickel sized 10 shot groups at 25. Almost identical except the piranha has like a star shaped hollow point. But it makes a huge difference in my gun
I always use these pellets

One of the cheapest ai rgun pellets you can buy. However since they are no longer made in the USA the quality has dropped. I've shot mostly CPHP pellets in 177 and 22 for years. All of my guns in those calibers shot them very well. And I had a Diana 34 that would shoot nothing else well at all. The now made in 1 Spain pellets which I'm guessing are made by Gamo arent as well made. I didn't notice a huge difference in accuracy for the most part but there are some pellets in a tin that are way undersized. The oring in my Maple notos mags won't even hold the small ones. They get chucked. 3 of 90 pellets that I pulled from the tin were like this. 10%? They fall right out. And I get more fliers. I definitely would not use these for anything but backyard plinking or informal target shooting.
Appears too late for that. Crosman, as far as I can see is likely dead or at least drastically different. Heck the newest Crosman gun is obviously a Crosman branded Daisy.
