Blast from the past;

Broke out a tin of ancient .22 Crosman Super Pells. Shown is a 5 shot/ 9 yd group using 6 pumps in an old 1400.

Pleasantly surprised


 
My 1400 from the 70's had a trigger that would increase in pull weight the more it was pumped. At 10 pumps it would probably bend the rod on a trigger gauge. LMAO! ...and it was Loud!

The first time shooting a high end springer at a local dealer,I was Blown Away! Lets just say,the trigger took me by suprise. And so did the lack of sound! 

That was All She Wrote...and here I am.

I remember those pellets from when I was a kid. We didn't know about pellets. We just wanted pellets and those are what we could get. Occasionally we got some Benjamin pellets in the green tin. Those were the cool pellets. I never had any Super Pells in the metal tin like the picture above. They came in a plastic container with belt clips on the side. The pellet looked just like the ones shown. I think they were Crosman Sidewinders or something like that.
