They are useless to me. I have shot the old crossmans out to 80 and 100yds, the new ones i dont trust to 40yds. I have owned a few gamo guns as well, and all were trash, i ended up just giving them away.

For nuttin better to do
Pitted .22 GPHP vs norma 15.9 .22 on who toes the line best ..
Looks tie
Thing i wonder is if the norma made in Germany thatw not sold here in the usa are as good or better than the ones we get here from Argentina?
Honestly i thought Beretta who owns them now built a nice manufacturing plant in Georgia anf would make some usa pellets .. guess not .

I dont, you already said you are happy with them. The only think i shoot with irons is pistols and shotguns, neither of those in air format.

I was at Walmart earlier today biting oil for my pickup and looked at what they had for pellets. They had Spanish made 22 CPHPs for $8 a tin so I bought one. The American made Crosmans I have are domed but I shot a couple groups with both to see if the Spanish ones are usable in my 22 caliber Bullshark. My conclusion is that they are. I think the domed are a little smaller groups but not a lot different. The two top groups are domed, the ones beneath are the hollow points. The flier to the right on the 2nd hp group and the top hole on the 2nd domed group were both going faster than the other shots. Over 920 when the other shots were more like 915. So maybe light pellets. Still for plinking or short range pesting I think both will work. The outside of the 5 ring is 1 and 3/8 inches. Range is 30 yards.

8 bucks ..hmmm so there going up in price now .. i guess if kept here in America manufacturing they could of stayed at 6.45$ a tin . Maybe moving them to spain was all part of the plan ..

I don't find a significant difference between the US and Spanish CPHP 14.3 g .22s. I will continue experimenting as my two FX Streamlines, FX DRS, AA S510XS, and Aremex Gauntlet seem to like them. They generally do better, or close enough to more than justify the cost difference against JSB & H&N.
I shoot (500) - (1,000) each week, but since conditions are often windy, I am reluctant to state hard conclusions, OTOH I am closing on 90,000 pellets, 95% CPHP in the last (3) years shooting.
JSB are often skirt-damaged in shipment, and H&N are not nesessarily as well received on average by my guns.
Being in Canada, does insert some serious cost, choice/availabilty, and shipping issues. I am down to less than (20) tins of CPHP so need to start shopping.
Will need to dig around as I may have exhausted my US supply. I prefer US to other countries, simply because I have far more American friends than any other nationality.
That I shoot silhouettes, off the bench, from 40 to 160 meters (mostly 50 yards and 160 meters) adds a dimentia that others don't experience.
I have found that weighing and sorting to 1/10 grain batches cuts down on flyers.
