I had not tried these pellets before so I picked up a couple of tins at Wally World the other day. 500 count tins were less $6.00. I finally got a chance to send a few down range yesterday afternoon. I must say that I am highly impressed with these pellets. All seem to fit my Crosman F4 perfectly. Had to do a little tweaking to my scope but have it dialed in pretty good. Shooting nickel size groups at 30 yards. Going to be using this rifle for squirrel hunting since .22 rim fire cartridges are almost impossible to find and when you do find them they are outrageously priced.

.177 Crosman Premier 7.9 gr Hollow Points
- Thread starter waldo1985
- Start date
I use them for hunting and plinking in both 177 and 22. They shoot “good enough” in my R10, Pulsar, Bandit. Just picked up 20 tins of .22 from Gander Mountain. They won’t shoot one hole groups at 30 like the JSB’s but for killing tree rats, they are perfect. Great choice.

I have tried several brands that would be considered "budget". While most shot acceptable I was not happy with my groupings. These Crosman hollow points are friendly on my pocketbook and shoot great. I shot probably 75 -100 rounds and didn't have any that would have considered fliers. The stray shots I did have were because I pulled off. I think I may have found my go to pellets.

I don't know how old y'all are but wasn't that long ago, say 15-20 years Crosman was the best pellets we had.
I find them reliable to 50 yards any day. Past that I see other pellets excel. Just my perception.

Ssshhhhhhhhhh.........don’t tell anyone this, they are hard to find as it is. Even amazon doesn’t have them in stock and when they do they limit me to 4 tins.

Got a tin of these from Wal-Mart a few months back for my Nova Liberty in .177. They shot fantastic, I'm talking pretty much one hole groups at 25 yards. Soon after, Gander Outdoors had these pellets in 177 and 22 on sale for $4 a tin. I loaded up on several tins, but they don't seem to be very consistent from tin to tin. Some shoot great, while others are a little less impressive. Still a really good pellet for the money.

The cheap Chinese made Beeman Hollowpoints in 177 (black coated ones) seem to shoot great too so do the light 7.4gr Crosman Pointeds (NOT the 7.9gr Super points nor the heavier Piranhas which suck).

I love'm, affordable plinking, not far behind JBSs in my riles, use'm in .22 also, buy them in 20 tin lots.

7.4 crosman point pellets are laser accurate even down to 400 FPS while the 7.9 hollow point wanted to go at least 650 FPS in my 1720T
the PP700 doesn’t care which one, it shoots them both really well
my impact with superior liner shot the crosman 14.3 grain HP pellets like laser to 70-80 yards At mid 800 FPS, that was the shock of the year! I dropped a black bird at 90 yards with first shot, couldn’t believe my eyes! It was even very good still at 120 yards but opened to to 2-3 inch spread judging from POI on pine cones I was shooting but there was 2-3 mph wind.

All depends on the barrel. I had a MMHF P-Rod that was accurate out to 80 yards with the cheap 22 CPHPs. Some but not all guns shoot cheap Crosman ammo very well while others will throw fliers even in the same caliber gun of that same particular model. Some guns only shoot the cheap Crosman ammo the best even better than popular more expensive pellets believe it or not.

At first I didn’t think my Maximus didn’t like the 7.9s but what I discovered was it liked several pellets over 8 go and nothing under 8 gr no matter the brand. Who knows why .3 gr makes a difference other than it’s a plot by JSB to empty my wallet.
