Crosman pellets

[dlhuntz]

I was curious what guns everyone is shooting that they get their best accuracy using a brand of Crosman pellets?

I don't own any high end PCP's, but do own several entry level. The only one that shoots them ok is my Gamo Urban, the rest not so good. I have a few Diana Springers (48/34) and they will absolutely not shoot any Crosman pellets.

Since Crosman pellets are sold in every sporting good store, big box store in the US, they surely have to shoot well in something or no one would keep buying them.

Maybe a lot of people do not have as high of expectations as you do ? Personally my expectation is that the pellets will at least over lap each other in a group.

I have a p-rod with stock barrel that loves the 14.3 cphp’s and domes, and another custom crosman build with 20” LW barrel in .22 that’s the same. Both also like the single die 14.3’s a lot. I shoot jsb 18’s from both mostly.
A .177 p-rod with LW barrel that loves the 7.9’s and 10.3’s. Also loves the Benjamin single die, but I mostly shoot air arms 10.3’s.
only gun that can’t shoot them for me is my Brocock concept XR in .22; it hates them and shoots everything else.
All in all, i am a fan of the crosman pellets.

That's all I expect at 25 yards, so what are you shooting? Thats all I'm askin?

My stuff shoots them well .

My saying is " I don't mind a pellet picky gun as long as it picks cphp " .

Nice, I have a older Disco that really likes JSB's but couldn't get it to shoot the Crosman well. I have been on the fence with buying a referb p-rod.

My regulated 0.22 Marauder with the Lothar barrel shoots CPHP's quite well. 3/8" 5 shot groups at 25 yards

P-Rod with CPHPs

I've never seen a single ragged whole group with CPHP's. Ever.

My CZ barrel Two like domed .177 10.5gr crossman pellets just fine, it is not the very best of pellets mind you, but so good that i will buy more of them.
Actually i might even give a couple of the other flavors a try too.

 

[Stubbers]

When CPHP's win a competition of any sort, let me know, until then I'll stick with pellets that are...more consistent in head size. We're talking maybe 1c more per shot? The higher quality pellets aren't breaking my bank over a penny.

Great groups with crosmans out of my Airacuda max and especially the avenger I had. Shot them great. Also the gamo urban I used to own. One must keep in mind that you need really good weather conditions as well for 14.3 to shoot good. Those above guns could easily do under an inch at 50 with good conditions. Every time? Def no as you will get fliers with crosmans but a lot of the time yes.

Both of my AGT Vulcansshoot them wel,l under 50 yards

Here you go…

Edited to add, you don’t need a five shot ragged hole for pesting… Hundreds of pests have attested to this…

My Crown Continuum shoots them very well, shot some out of a brand new Taipan Vet2 Standard today and at 32 yds it was putting a mag into a nickel pretty consistently.. definitely squirrel head accuracy.

Crosman Premiers have been acceptable in every airgun I have owned in .177 or .22. There are just some that like FTT's just a little bit more.

Ya,but . I'm told if I shoot jsb or h&n all my shots one hole never miss .. hmmm.. was I told wrong ?

With H+N that is true. Never have had JSB shoot well from anything.

Crazy, I could never get h&n's to shoot in anything I own until i bought a Notos.

My issue with Crosmans is not so much that they never shoot very well. I've had tins that shot pretty well from my Prod and P35-177. My issue is that if I buy more I am not at all confident they will be better than trash. I had that happen with 10.5s in the P35-177 and haven't bought a tin of Crosmans since. I have not had that experience on the 22 caliber pellets but the Prod likes the copper plated FTTs better. The price difference is not significant enough for me to risk buying trash.
