FX Dreamline + Crosman Premier Ultra Magnum

[Guest]

Well, I found myself not wanting to shoot my coveted 18.31gr JSBs today so I pulled out the trusty Red, White and Blue Crosman Premier Ultra Magnum 14.3gr pellets. I’ve never shot them from my Dreamline Classic .22 so I didn’t know what to expect. My tune is currently shooting the JSB 18.13gr at 900fps. I knew that was going to spit the CPs too fast so I turned my transfer port setting to low. Well, what do you know! One ragged hole at 25 and 3/4 at 50. Obviously cheaper pellets are going to send flyers, but hey, I’m back to cheap plinking. I’m not sure the velocity, I’ll get that at a later date. Failed to mention I’m using a superior liner. Not sure if that makes a difference. Anyway, I’m happy as can be.

I love crosman premier pellets. I use them for tuning and for all my backyard plinking. I shoot the premium stuff at competitive events or when I need to impress a new shooter and make them get the PCap bug. I have experienced bad batches but last year I bought a tin from Walmart and noticed they were brand new shiny and the line on the sides where the mould breaks was almost invisible. I figured they replaced thier dies and ordered thousands of round of crosman premier ultra magnums and sure enough they were way better than they had been for the last couple years previous. Honestly I have to go out past 50yards to tell any difference between them and jsb or fx. I love high value items. No airgun elitist attitude here! They also have better penetration for hunting which is good some of the time. When I need to prevent pass through I use polymags or something with softer lead. Crosman uses some kind of alloy that makes it harder.

They shoot better than JSB out of my dreamline classic.

Orange target is 5 at 25, white paper is 5 at 50. 50 is a 5 shot L shaped group. The lowest one was not part of the group.

JSBs shoot way better at longer distances.

My Dreamline is squirrel head dead a fifty with Crosmans HP

Sorry about the bad picture but that’s CPHP out of my crown at 50 yards, think it was 0.33 inch group. Crosman 22 pellets shot amazing out of superior and heavy liners.

Good read. Thanks for the info. I'm very new to all of this and trying to soak in any info possible.

My RTI loves them at 870-880 fps

My .22 AEA HP SS loves the CPs!! They shoot better than the JSBs

While we're talking Crosman ammo, don't forget 14.3 Premier POINTS -

A good informational post avolluz. I own a FX Classic .22 and it too will shoot JSB 18 and 16gr ammo best. I don't get the urge to try CP ammo in mine, as I've found "most" rifles after shooting CP ammo,, will not shoot the softer JSB ammo as well until barrel re-fouling or cleaning and re-fouling.

Nice to see that people are getting good results with these. Do they make .25cal pellets also?

I got a big surprise when I tried them in the low power configuration of my red wolf hp (985fps) and at 50 meters I made a group of .5 "... (thats mi configuration for jsb 18.1gr at 905fps

Benjamin .25 pellets are Crosman pellets. Try them I did and they shoot very well.
