Am I crazy? $1k+ Semi Auto PCP shooting inexpensive Crosman .22 Hollow Points?

I stop at .177 for most of mine, but different strokes for.....well, you know.

Great to have the variety of options available today but as noted above I've had excellent results from Crosman pellets in most of my guns.

People will think we're crazy spending this much on PCP setups. Rifle, tank (if you use one), compressor, its all $$$. I bet covid has increased sales for companies that specialize in all kinds of outdoor hobbies...

It has. RC cars and gokarts have also been selling out.

Yup, bicycles too and electric skateboards being sold out.

I use the .22 CPHP in my Huben K1s and couldn't be happier. Have them running at 930 fps and they are so accurate I havent even wanted to try out the VK slugs/cast slugs. So far plenty of cottontails, jack rabbits, and a couple of hogs have been taken with them.

I have close to 10k rounds and pretty much clean out Walmart each trip. Best bang for the buck if they shoot good in your PCP rifles.

I want an air gun to hunt.. the rest will be practice for hunting.

I use the .22 cphp in my Marauder and they're pretty accurate for the money. But if you use them for pest control, they don't mushroom, they go right through the target without much deforming. They survive a shot unless you hit them perfectly. I still use them for target practice, but I switch to polymags, hunter extremes, or Hades for pest control.

Yo!, Big thanks for the heads up bro! 
As hyped as I was about their new pellet design, I'll take your word for it! 
If I find a tin, I'll give em' a whirl in my guns to see how they rate, but,
I won't go out of my way to score them in bulk - Like I planned on doing. 

It's nice to run across someone else who gives credit where credit is due w/ the Crosmans.. 
Well, at least the CPHPs. Wayyy too many people overlook em'. 
Perfectly fine though - That leaves more of them for us to use!

 

Sam -

Amazon had those Pirahnas for only $5-$6 a tin Couple of months ago free shipping over $25 and they are so terrible even if TYPICAL Amazon sends them with no padding and you receive them all damaged and smashed tins as usual still there's good news they would probably still shoot the same. Yo!

They may shoot more accurately when shot backwards as do some other reject inaccurate or mediocre pellets BTW... Yo!
