Premier 14.3gn .22 cal pellets

[Nvreloader]

I limit the time for the tumbling, I kept increasing the time limits, stopped at 5 min,
and found this to be the best time limits, when I measured the heads, before and after,
I couldn't find any difference in the averages. Crosman are so hard as compared to other brands

I got a tumbler but never tried it on pellets.. like you say the crosmans ate hard enough not to get much if any skirt damage .. just need to think of a good or best medium to use then give a tin a try and see + a after wash thing..

Maybe a cleaning solution dripped in and let them tumble themselves ?

What I did is this,
Filled full to the top of my Model "B" tumbler with hot water,
added a squirt of Dawn dish soap, then was 10#'s of SS pins in the tub,
added 2 can of Crosmans 22 cal pellets, slapped the lid on it,
and ran for 5 minutes TIMED,
dumped the wash water into a collection bin (to check the residue) etc.

Strained the pellets from the water, used the heat gun to dry them,
lube them, light shoe shine method, filled the OEM tins after cleaning the inside out, lots of small flackes etc.
FIRR, groups were less than 1" at 50 yds, still haven't found my info yet.

I got some time today and got to shoot these new Crosman's,
right out of the can. I am impressed, at 25yds, gusting winds, shaky table,
I had several groups that were under 5/8" for 5-10 shots.

I sized (Head Bump) some to .2175 and they seem to be shooting tighter (Rounder) groups, than those out the can, down to 1/2" @ 25yds.
I am NOT a good target shooter.

More testing to follow.

Just out of curiosity, what speed are you all pushing the CPHP for best accuracy? Thanks

I am running these newest Crosmans at around 850-900 fps, OEM stock bbl.
I have to set my SSG for the best ballistics, when I check them on the chrono,
then I start checking head sizes from the tin, to see the average head size,
this QB rifle likes head sizes .2175 to 2180 for the best accuracy,
with the Old pellets that have been out for several years.

Unknown what it will like with the latest designs etc.

My rifle is the cayden .22 I shoot the cphp 14.3 gr between 920-740.

Just shot of the newest Crosman and the QB likes them,
tighter groups and less flyers than the older stuff,
wind started picking up, so will have to wait for another calmer day.
Also added another different type of LCD, way more quite than the older one,
I had been using........

Funny story, I ordered a couple tins from Amazon a couple weeks ago. Amazon said they were delivered so I walk out and grab the envelope sitting at my front door. Envelop turned out to be empty with a big hole at the bottom. The weight of the tins must have torn the bag and fallen out somewhere on the truck so I was left with an empty envelope.

On July 4th, to catch up with the Independence Day promotion discount, I ordered 24 cans of Crosman Premier .22 /14.3/Domed at PA, plus buy three get one free, free shipping, a total of 32 cans, and the cost of a single can is 8.4 US dollars, which is only less than CPHP single pot $7.76 is $0.76 more expensive. I like the grain of the dome.
