Least Favorite Pellet

I have three SPA P35s and each came with a tin of their pellets. The 22s are not too bad but the 177s and 25s are the worst made pellets I have seen. Most of the skirts are bent up and they shoot terribly. Not a way to make a good impression on somebody with a new gun.

I also find Crosman 10.5 grain domed pellets to be terribly inconsistent and I probably will not buy any more. I got one good tin that shot well and then 2 bad ones with head sizes all over the place and they shoot poorly. H&N Baracuda, Baracuda Power, and Baracuda Match are all much better.

My Prod will shoot Crosman 14.3 grain domed and so called hollowpoint OK but prefers H&N FTTs but only the copper plated. Dislikes the plain lead ones. I haven't purchased any of the Crosman 22 caliber pellets in awhile, I hope they have not slid downhill like the 177s seem to have.

.22 and .25 crow magnums. 4 different 22’s and 2 different 25 cals would not shoot them very well for me.
Yea I've not found my crows to fly well either🤔
👀but now I have the dragonfly!... I can test .22s variably (wondering if a speed change might be needed)and not kill my arm(looking at you 2289👀🤣)

These, Im with sonnysan on pointed pellets.👎
 
I once had these Kandar 5,5mm/.22 pointed, "Magnum" pellets and they were awful, some didn't even fit into the barrel or even fell right through it, but what really intrigued and surprised me was, that I could shoot half-liter beer cans at 80 meters with them! Sometimes even consecutively, one shot after another. I guess the only thing keeping them stable at such a distance was their weight at roughly 17 grains - at least mine were 17 grainers. That's these:

.22 H&N FTTs

I know, I know....They shoot great for some people.

But they have never shot well in ANY of my guns, and I have wasted a lot of time and money trying to force them to.

But never again! :LOL: o_O :unsure:
You should've seen the kind of dumpsterfire those .22 H&N piledrivers were, some had external dimensions of a .22 rimfire bullet and some other batches even those of a .223 Rem bullet.

As someone said, the Crow Magnums is like pushing a brick through the air. I have a few tins and i'm going to use up in the hope they'll magically work some day.
