Was randomly looking at pellets on Pyramid air and saw this picture for the Crossman Premier Hollow Points.... Now granted, I have roughly 40 tins of the .22 500 ct of the old versions and they shoot great in almost all of my guns, but if this is an up to date picture of the quality of the new version, ouch!
Is this what we have to look forward to now CPHP?
- Thread starter roaoro
- Start date
I bought 1 tin a month or more ago. They don't shoot as good as some older domed Crosmans I have but they do not look like that either. I checked the head size and it varied more than I think is best too. But that has been an issue with some Crosman tins when they were made here. Overall I mainly shoot targets and I do not consider any Crosman pellet I have tried to be good for target work. But at $8/500 I still think I got what I paid for.

I'd like to suggest using these as a substiute. TO ME, not saying they are, but, To me they appear like much higher QC CP ultra mags (domed) pellets. They're 14.3 and the price is right from Amazon. They generally arrive in very good condition, I've yet to get a bad tin.

I'm finishing up my last tin of the old type now, kinda panicked when the new style tins arrived. I haven't shot them yet but they look the same, I will test them out tomorrow and report back. My HW's and Sniper XR love them.

So, trenier airguns usually carries the FX version for $15.99 ill opt for them. Amazon messed up a delivery and gave me a conciliatory Gift card for $50. I ordered these for $26. Considering a tin at any airgun site will.be $19 minimum and then add shipping will end over that. So why not? I can always return or get a replacement sent before I return with amazon

I've never had good luck with Amazon shipping pellets...they always arrive loose in a box or bag with lots of damage to the pellets when opened. I was going to order some pellets from Pyramid Air, and at checkout, said delivery via amazon so I cancelled that order lol.

So if you see an option for "overnight 4-8am" or 7-11am or 10am-3pm. Buy then. That will be a delivery driver in a private vehicle and theyre not god awful and careless. The JTS blister packs, the baracuda hunter extremes. And any JSB from 7eventy9ine will arrive perfect. I will not order pellets unless I get those options Or the JTS OR HN blister packed pellets.

I have gamo rockets that look like that. They shoot fine but ill probably go with HNs from this point forward. I always have good luck with them and I like the sample packs.
