I ordered 2 tins of the Crossman domed from Amazon. $7.27 each shipped free as an Add On item with something else I ordered.

In my socialist state of NJ, Walmarts don't even sell any pellets. And Imin a very rural area. Going to check out local tractor Supply. Didnt even think of them.

I get more fliers with with the Crosmans than I do with H&N or JSB’s in my springers, .177 and .22.

I'm guessing that these are rebadged H&Ns.

I have a new Wildcat .22 due in tomorrow P.M. and after scope mounting and a good barrel cleaning I am going to try to duplicate that 8 shot group with CPHP's, also picked up a tin of domes from local tractor supply, they only had one tin but are ordering more $8.77 out the door. Thanks for sharing that group hope my .22 does as well, and thanks for the heads up on the domes from tractor supply, I go in there quite often but never would have known!

My tuned marauder/armada in .22 was set up for JSBs and the Premier hlowpoints shoot almost as well at same POI, I also shot the Piranha HP version and they were not quite as good in my rife but terminal results were impressive. The piranhas are good for english house sparrows out to 30-40 yards as long as you do your job.

Dang my one local tractor supply doesnt have the domed. I asked them to get them and they said not available (and my daughter works there!) Im gonna check the other one near me but in a different county. Iy might be a county thing as there are a few other county restrictions i have run across.

You can always mail order from TSC or walmart.

I've noticed a great deal of inconsistency in diameter with the Crosman HP's. I've had pellets slide in the chamber with no effort and pellets that don't fit inside the chamber at all.

When I get a snug pellet (90% of the time), they group very well for the price.

But... they're incredibly cheap, so you have to expect some inconsistencies. And my local sparrows can't tell the difference when they're laying motionless on the ground.

I have to back and retest it looks like.

In my Hatsan 44 and Disco neither of the Crosman pellets shot worth a flip at even 25 yards as I remember.

In recent years, my experience has been that groups with CPHP in .177 and .22 are at best twice that of the best JSB/AA or H&N pellets, and sometimes more like 3x or 4x. Back in 2013 - 2014 when I was new to airguns, it wasn’t uncommon to get tins that hovered around MoA at 25 yards and occasionally out to 45 yards. Unfortunately I haven’t experienced that at all in recent years, despite having a greater variety of rifles to experiment with. I still buy them on a regular basis for plinking reactive targets in the back yard but I can’t bring myself to use them on living things when there are better pellets for the task.

Based on head measurements and the presence of mold defects like parting lines and flashing, it just looks like Crosman is interested in hitting a price point. I think it’s a shame because I would love to have an American-made option for precision pellets.
