Pellet cost

For those of you complain about the price of pellet, buy the Crosman Premiers at Walmart, they shoot well in a lot of guns and are cheap. If you can’t afford those, you might want to think about getting out of the hobby

Crosman HP 22 are 6.28 for 500 at Walmart ,and that is what I used to squirrel hunt with and target shoot.I found that most pcp will shoot them almost as good as JSB or better, but you got to tune the PCP,to the Crosmans, not like the Utubers with their PCP tune to JSB. And the Pellets are made in the USA.

Good point regarding the Crosmans. They are better than many give them credit for. Combine those with sorting via a Pellet Guage (or similar device) and the accuracy will be right up there with the higher tier stuff.

Because the clerk at the store or at PA etc has to have a wage increase so that gets directly passed on to the consumer. The owner/operator of a business has a bottom line percentage they want as profit and they'll get it any way they can. The dark side of capitalism.

With rare exception, I've been unable to get what I consider to be sufficient 50 yard accuracy from any Crosman pellet in either .177 cal or .22 cal for almost 10 years now. Tins or boxes, hollow points or domes, lights or heavies. By sufficient accuracy I mean dime-sized groups...roughly 1.5 MoA. Enough to confidently take small game or pests (gray squirrels, chipmunks, etc.), or enough to make it interesting to punch groups or shoot small reactive targets (e.g. Mardi Gras beads).
Granted for 25 - 30 yards, the picture changes a bit. But various offerings from RWS, H&N, Norma, and even Daisy have proven more fruitful for around the same price. Just buy when they're on sale, examples being RWS and H&N from Amazon, or Norma and Daisy factory direct.

I get 50 yard dimes size groups out of Crosman HP . I have killed over 100 grey Squirrel with them this season, not at feeders but in the woods here in VA, as I said before I tune my pcp to shoot them. If I only shot 25 to 30 yards I would not take many Squirrel, most shots are 40 to 50 yards some are more than that.

I thought the .22 cal wadcutters from Norma were only available in 200ct, at least that’s all I’m seeing on their site.

Yes true but in the overall scope of things the price of pellets is way way down the list of cost concerns.

Have them send them to to your local store. They’ll hold your order for a few days. You don’t even have to go inside to pick them up
