I'll chime in and agree also! Shot 2 mags out of my HW110ST .177 at 25yds. never had two pellets the same, and most of the 20 shots were off the 3" shoot n see target. Can't figure why WalMart doesn't offer the 10.5 Premier in .177,, the fancy-evil-looking hollowpoint Piranha' are horrible. (hoping Crosman is listening)
This gun is pretty new, but it will shoot ragged hole with H&N 8.6 FTT and does really well with 10.5 CP and a couple other 10+ gr.

You wouldn’t think they would be too bad by the look? But oh damn those things suck! One emoji sums up that pellet
and I had to do it twice.

Well,they worked FANTASTIC in my Daisy 880 project rifle! Outstanding Performance!!
...I poured them in the buttstock to add some weight then filled it in with expanding spray foam.

@MScottLeeman, When life gives you lead lemons, use them to provide lemon-aid. Brilliant.
I tried feeding them to my .177 Mrod and thought I'd broken the bolt action because it wouldn't seat fully. Turns out the stinking pellets can't hardly be jammed into a standard .177 breech. Trying them in several other .177 guns led me to that conclusion. Possible the process to press the jagged cavity in the head also forces an expansion of the pellet's head diameter?

I'LL TAKE THEM!
Seriously, my .22 NP2 Trail loves them. in fact, they're the most accurate pellet for that rifle. i've put down many a yellow beak with them.
ya gotta love a rifle that performs well with cheap pellets!

they are a tight fit in the breech/leade of my trail, but not in my 1000x (it's been hair tapered).
some shots are dead on, most are .750" flyers
cea1960 : I'd give em to ya but they are .177 might see if they group through the new 760 I got my son for Easter, since both my break barrels are too harsh a recoil for him to be accurate.

Thanks for reminding me I had a tin of .22 cal Piranha's. I tried them in my Prod today. 8 shots @ 18 yards. Maybe not my first choice but I've shot worse. I get about the same results with CPHP's from the Prod. The CPUM's do better for me.

I have been wanting to try these in .22 to see how they were. Not sure if I want to pick any up now.

Just one more gimmick. The whole point would be to act like a hollow point, but the Crosman pellets are a fairly hard alloy of lead, and don't mushroom well even if you can hit the target. I use the Crosman Premier Dome Hollow Points for chrony and other work where you are just burning through pellets but accuracy doesn't really matter.
Retuning my Marauder and burned about 700 rounds, still burning (made some mistakes in the process, so back to the adjustments). If you can get Piranha's really cheap, they could serve a purpose, but Premier Dome hollow points are only $6.50 at Wally world. Hard to beat that price these days.
