I bought two tins of the new Benjamin 14.3 gr hollow point pellets which apparently are now made in Brazil. The pellets shoot really well out of my Marauder and my R9 and seem to be made from softer lead than the U.S. manufactured versions. It's my understanding that Crosman used an antimony alloy in the U.S. pellets and after comparing the old and new versions the new ones are much softer. I did some testing into gallon milk jugs filled with water and these new pellets actually expanded quite well, with the U.S. made pellets I never got any expansion at all. I want to emphasize that I'm not implying the new pellets are made of pure lead, but in my unscientific thumbnail test they appear to be softer LOL. While I'm sorry Crosman made the decision to out source their pellet manufacturing, I feel the softer lead is an improvement and I just wondered what you guys think?
