Crosman essential...ribbed for your pleasure?

[Hateful McNasty]

Well the crosman posts recently and it was brought up on made in usa or elsewhere. So these essential pellets are made in Brazil so i grabbed some today to show off / vs cphp ..lol..

First there calling em' recreational pellets (?) Then there lighter then cphp.

Then printed made in Brazil on the package

The skirt is ribbed for your pleasure and seems more flared out and the wkirt wall is thinner as well.

Ill try to do some shooting stuff with them tomorrow weather permitting.. i dont know about these bad boys

I got a couple of free tins with rifles I purchased. I looked them over, cleaned and shot a few, then dumped the rest into my lead pot and melted them down.

Couldn't agree with you more.

I'm honestly not sure what the folks at Crosman are thinking these days.

Lol.. ya, if they were not 65% off closeout and the made in Brazil thing i wanted to show ( i think there from "rifle brand" pellets Brazil) . Just quick shoys to 50y that cphp hit consistently these did not hit , not even the backstop.. but being a gar different pellet then the cphp i will rezero for them and give 'em a real chance on there own merit. Ill do a rifle and pistol check from 10m to 50y tomorrow..

There thinking the cheaper better product.....

Cheaper for them to make and better profit for the shareholders

 

[dizzums]

personally i think your having alittle bit too much fun with the airgun lol ...

 

[nervoustrig]

Nothing good can possibly come of pellets so blurry.

 

[Hateful McNasty]

Well maybe too windy pretty good swirling for these lite pellets , but not so bad in the hatsan 25sc at 10m.

Dollar signs and nothing more. Which will lead to less dollars for them.

crossman makes all their money on co2 cartriages that is their source of income the rest is pocket change

So far it seems if your under 600 fps there ok .. 800+ aint looking so good..

How these comanded a higher regular price over cphp's is beyond me..

Then in .22 they are a 250 count too boot...?

Even now at closeout $3.45 for .177 500 count i just dont see it ...lol. Anyway the hatsan pistol does good enugh its not a full waste .. id put these .177 just a step up in my stuff from the daisy pointed .. ( and there pretty sad ).

Oh well i did show these were the made in Brazil , but being ribbed aint giving me much pleasure

Tried the R9 at 50' (foot) on irons

The essential pellets not much of a group compared to the cphp. Went back and forth one shot each to total 5.

Saddly one bad shot with the cphp.

So ill conclude these crosman pellets are not "essential" to my shooting needs..

 

[Hateful McNasty]

Ya, 500fps is about it to get any general plinking .. just dont have a 500 or less fos rifle but pistol a guy couls enjoy spinners and can shooting to 20y.

1'' circles are 50' black pellet tins are 20y pistol point and shoot on stock irons ( cronied at 500fps) .. anything else i shoot thats got power these pellets just fall apart wild..

If you get them for 3.50$ in .177 500 count you cound get your moneys worth plinking. ( Maybe)

 

[Hateful McNasty]

Another thing to add is no penetration..

Being 7 grain or the lead mix used at 50' and cronied at 500fps just cant punch a hole outside paper.... Makes me wonder what the enegry is at the muzzle and how much / how fast its lost?

 

[Hateful McNasty]

Well opened the 2ed tin and a bit better thrn the first.. still seems anything over 500fps stuff just dont cut it.. anyway the hatsan 25 does ok with them if nothing else will..lol

Outdoors 50foot /stock irons .177

Lol.. where and why i got these 2 tins...

I did figure not to exceed 2 . Wasn't expecting much right off..

Whats sad is how crosman eas tring to comand a much higher regular price on these vs cphp..

But maybe at liquidation closeout pricing as above. For low power pistol you could maybe get your money's worth....... Maybe. Ya, overall kinda sad.

 

[EdinGa]

I got my tins for free and I won't be buying any more. I'm hoping that they are being closed out because Crosman has realized their mistake and discontinued them.

 

[Hateful McNasty]

Ya, could not get there thinking on them either..
