I know how that is especially when one gun shoots lights out with them. Open a new tin and that perfect lights out gun just doesn't shoot the same ever again sometimes. I had several of the Crosman brown boxes of a specific die and they shot lights out in my blue Crosman pistol with a 14 inch Crosman barrel. Like .5 inch groups at 50 yards always. Opened another box with a different die number and there went the accuracy. I actually couldn't find anything else that would shoot as well in that barrel so I cut down an FX liner and put it in the shroud for support. It is much better now but still werqing on the consistency.
 
When they first changed over to the red/black tins, a lot of people, including myself , noticed a slight difference in accuracy. I called around and not too many sellers had gray label tins. I managed to buy a bunch and also got the Cometa pellets which were just as accurate as the gray label. I was also able to locate a bunch of the gray label 250 count tins. I still have 30-40 tins of each.
 
Same goes for the .20 cal ! The old gold tops.

I have a few tins stashed and buy up more every time I see them for sale....also picked up a few tins of BSA wolverine .22s made by JSB some time back in 16 grain! Identical in weight and head size to the old gray tops.

I think quality was a little better back then but the demand on market was far less also! Higher the demand sometimes means quality standards suffer...in all things not just pellets....
