Benjamin vintage pellets 5mm

It should be a little north of 600-fps at eight pumps. I have an unopened '65 and that's how it does.

There are better pellets available. JSB Exacts are very good in the Sheridan. Post pics of your gun and we'll sort out the vintage.

Cheers,

Those pellets aren't real old. I was ordering them from Walmart ten or fifteen years ago.
I didn't have a chrony at the time but the Beeman cataloge forty years ago, said 600 fps.
I have a chrony now so I guess I should log some new numbers with the current ammo.

" This croni thing "? at first i was all hyped up about croni everything . not every shot lie some do ,
just to find what a gun was doing .
Now if the gun does what i need it to do , that's fine with me .

On the probability the pellets that you got with an old Sheridan Blue Streak are also Sheridans, the information you've gotten about those pellets is ancient. They're neither super accurate, nor exceptionally hard hitting by modern standards. Yellow box Sheridans will likely out-penetrate most pellets, but JSB 13.73 grain pellets will shoot rings around Sheridan pellets, for accuracy.

I've owned and tested several Blue Streaks. See the attachment below for details-
