Benjamin Akela mags will not shoot Crosman Premiers

[arockler1]

Hi all, I just bought an Akela and had the "10 for 10" from Pyramyd Air. I loaded it with the Crosman Premier .22 ultra magnum and they jammed . Then I tried the Piranhas and they did the same thing. The 10 for 10 card said he used RWS pellets. I have the Crosmans for my Virtus. I went to Big5 and bought a tin of H&N Baracuda Hunter Extremes to test and they worked fine. I took all three pellets and lined them up on the counter and found that the H&N pellets are taller. The Crosmans are getting hung up in the hole on the back of the mags because they are too short, Does anybody else have this problem?

Push the pellets farther into the magazine when you load.

No, I've not run into that problem.

I've got 8 magazines for my Akela and Kratos in .22 (6 came with my used Akela) an so far zero jams using exclusively Crosman Premiers (other than initial tests with other pellets)

So I do not think this is a common problem.
