I lucked out with my new build. This 11" barreled kral jumbo LOVES cheap ole crosman hollowpoint 14.3s
Puts a 12 shot mag into a dime/nickel sized group at 40 yards. The pest birds and squirrels already hate it!

Shooting the crosmans better than JSB or H&N pellets. I'll take that any day!

My first Sapsan loved AA 16's, when they sent me a replacement absolutely nothing worked at any speed, except for 22gr slugs but I had to have the hammer spring cranked all the way down, it was brutal. Tried some Crosman .22 hollow points and the gun loved them, have to go slow but they group well enough at 30 yards. These are 5 shot groups at 30 yards

Picked up these yesterday at the "low, low price" of $6.14 per 500. The only tin they had on the shelf. Curious as to how the new ones will perform compared to the old ones.

At first they were iffy now pretty good. I still believe at longer ranges the old precovid pellets were more consistent. Funny maybe im wrong or fuzzy brain acting up bit i het less flyers but looser groupings way out (50+ yards). Go figure.

One thing is the new are more shiny where the old had that gray stuff ( lube?) on them. Also the bottom of the newer tins i dont have as much trash in it. ( Notice in your picture above)..

Overall i still use them 99.579% of the time..

Now you want some jim dandys get the crosman essential line .. just be sure you keep everything of value behind you..😜

My Biitz also likes the CPHSs.

As stated in another post, my Blitz shoots very well in semi auto. Below are some photos. They were all shot at 15 yards, indoors from a rest, 20x scope, CPHP pellets straight out of the tin. Fired for group size not for scoring. On the mag dump, I held the trigger down until it was empty - 21 Shots.

Ugh...

Evaluating the new tin and they're not looking to do nearly as well as the last one. .5" groups (vs .11") are the best so far at ten yards. Hoping I can make some changes to the rifle so they'll do better.

Ya, i just cracked open a new tin this morning and seems from the ones ive shot out of it the sizing is off from the one i just ran out of yesterday. I should of took a pict or 2 of the 30y shots. Still putting them in fine but you know that looser one is going to be just out vs the better fit pellets. Not much but just enugh.

(Edit)
Shot 10+ at 30y with the fresh tin cphp.177. With the R9

Hard to say is it the pellet or the shooter ? Around here it is it's everythings else fault but your own so im blaming the pellets.😜

I have a brown box of the .177 CP 10.5gr pellets, Die 1 from 2021. They've been mostly miss in my airguns, but I've been very pleased with their performance in BRK Pathfinder. Shooting at 700 (low) or 800 (high) fps they are a tiny little hole at 12 yards. Yet to stretch it further, but hope they stay just as good out to 50. I've found the Pathfinder has not been pellet picky at all for me.
