I used to buy the Crosman Pointed simply because they were often the only walk in local buy other than wadcutters in a plastic flip top box. They weren't the best shooting, but they did come 500 to a tin and they were cheap. Then I got 2 tins that were just about useless. It seemed like every pellet was a different size. Some were undersized and some needed a probe to force them into the bore. I had no receipt and no idea where I had purchased them. I ended up throwing 2 full tins in the trash and placed a big order for H&N FTTs with Pyramyd. CPHPs are probably much better, than the pointeds but I simply don't see them on the shelf at the local stores very often, and I've still got around 8000 H&Ns.
