Personal Moderator Testing Done

My testing is done.
Overall quietest in my test was: 0db 160, Sumo, and Hugget snipe. Results were close enough that I'd call it tie between these 3.
The loudest was: Impulse 1350.

1st: 0db 160, Sumo, Snipe
2nd: Hugget Astille, Brocock and Tatsu tied
3rd: 0db 110 30 cal? (has 3***)
4th: 0db 110 .22? (has 1*)
5th: Impulse 1350

The 2 smaller 0db's were a bit of a surprise as I assumed the smaller of the 2 calibers would have been quieter.

The Impulse has been disappointing to me. I could always tell it was going to be the loudest when shooting.

I realize that results will vary with so many different variables. These are just my personal testing results with one particular gun and setup.

CPHP Question

Does anyone know if Crosman used the “same” press/die from the two left American made tins? I’m hoping the same press/die but different printing on the American tins.

View attachment 587121
I have shot nearly 9,000 CPHP 14.3 gr .22 in the last (3) years, but our shooting is onto metallic silhouettes, at distances to 160 meters, typically with significant wind. Not the best to evaluate pellets. I also push them near to 1,000 FPS, ditto on accuracy.

Until recently, the pellets were of the center type, shifting to the left type, and I just recieved (4) tin of the right type. Mine are Hollow Point with the label in place of the "Ultra Magnum" in the photo.

I didn't find significant difference between center and left, even when sorting by weight. but haven't started to sort the right hand type. I will report on that ASAP.

I have noticed that the coating/surface shine appears to be different between the types, but have not tried to evaluate differences in hardness/alloy.

Perhaps someone has looked into that?

Tuning  .177 vs .22 shotcount

There's the nuance of the efficiency of the air charge on a piston of a larger size ( pellet being the piston).


In practice between my 2 discos projectile weights are different, velocity is different, energy is equal and shot counts were equal.

I've leaned towards viewing air guns as fpe. My impact used to just shoot 50 fpe no matter the projectile weight. Velocity would just vary with projectile weight, no tune change

CPHP Question

I bought a tin of Spanish made CPHPs at a local Walmart a month or so ago for $8. Seems like a reasonable price to me. They did not shoot as accurately as a couple old partial tins of American made Crosman domed, however. As a possible explanation of why I looked at weight and head size. There was a lot more head size variability in the Spanish made CPHP. I mostly shoot targets and CPHP are not good for targets in my guns but they are "minute of squirrel head" accurate.

Fed-Ex lost another one! Just in case someone might see it

I am wondering if there is a Main Office close enough for you to drive to and speak to a high end management person face to face.....
Mike - I agree. It’s worth a shot. Don’t give up.

You have a tracking number and someone in Fed-Ex created a label.
