CrosmanCrosman Domed Premier Pellets, 0.22-Calibre, 500 Count

I'm lovin' these Crosman .17 caliber 10.5gr Domed Ultra Magnum Premier pellets. When my wife noticed another box out front earlier and brought it to me to open (I love shopping online), I set up my trap with a new Shoot-N-C, grabbed my trusty Daisy 880 and put these new pellets to use! The first pellet absolutely nailed the bulls-eye from twenty-five feet (I know, but it's the best I can do across the living room, until I rig up something on the diagonal maybe). Since these are a smidge heavier than what I usually shoot (and because it probably would be a little more fun), I did all my shots with 9 or 10 pumps instead of my usual 7 or 8, so I could really see what they would do. The first bulls-eye was followed by four more, all of them in the orange and most digging through almost the same hole as the first. Not bad at all. Hang on... Actually, that's a mistake; I almost forgot my FIRST shot hit a piece of cardboard I didn't notice sticking up from just under the muzzle when I fired, which had no affect on elevation but caused the pellet to shear off to the right by about one to one and a half inches at the target. I certainly noticed the cardboard then because it and what it was attached to instantly went flying off up and out like it came out of the barrel. Then came the wow moment when I saw that sickly green-yellow flower right in the center of the orange circle. The next five did their best to turn the rest of the bulls-eye completely yellow with black holes, but since many only really enlarged the hole dug out by the first, there's still some orange I'll need to eliminate before I put another target over it. :-) A few words about my targets. My 'pellet trap' is homemade in the worst cheesy fashion, being nothing more than twenty five or thirty pieces of cardboard (from all the shipping boxes) cut into 'slices,' piled one on top of the other and then taped together all the way around near both edges with duck tape. It works great, believe it or not, and nothing has come close to penetrating all the way through. Using six-inch self-adhesive Shoot-N-C targets, I often go for the bulls-eye, the printed score numbers and the small yellow text printed near the outermost edge of the yellow circumference, potentially giving me six targets per sticker. When the poor thing finally is utterly decimated, I stick a new shoot-n-c to another piece of scrap cardboard, pull off the old one, tape the new target in its place on the the front and it's ready to go again. Eventually, when the cardboard slices between the front and back pieces start getting shot out to the extent I might need to worry about penetration, I just pull the shot-up cardboard out of the middle and replace it with fresh slices, leaving the front and back cardboard pieces (with the duck tape holding it together) in place. I put the refreshed trap back up against the far wall with an old piece of 1" plywood behind it (just in case) and I'm ready to go again. I think it's a pretty good system. It's a quick and easy way to get rid of shipping boxes that are awkward and a hassle to get rid of, the cut-up pieces and shot-out cardboard slices easily fit in a trash bag when it's all over and there's no need to spend money on a smaller metal pellet trap! Another benefit is my getting to examine the pellets when I pull the shot-up cardboard out. I can determine exactly how each deforms after impact and penetration. Granted it isn't the same as shooting into a big block of ballistic gel, but it's a whole lot cheaper. Easy as anything, totally free except for the Shoot-N-C targets and it works, although I have discovered a problem: if I just put a new target sticker over the others every time, things eventually get pretty interesting: when the area behind the bulls-eye has been completely shot out of the cardboard pieces underneath, creating a wider, deep hole, sometimes the next bulls-eye pellet will pull almost the entire orange circle in the center of the new Shoot-N-C down into the sinkhole with it (!), especially if the bulls-eye was just a replaced orange fix-it circle instead of a whole new target. This sure surprised me the first few times. "Whoa, I must've missed the whole danged thing! Wait a minute, where the heck did the bulls-eye go!?!?!?" No follow-up shots when that happens! :-) It was pretty easy to work around it thank goodness. When I otherwise would just stick another Shoot-N-C over the one shot-out underneath, instead I stick the new S-N-C target to a scrap square of cardboard and tape that over the shot-out target underneath. It keeps me from losing the whole orange center of the target when I shoot another bulls-eye at least. :-) OK, back to my thoughts about these new-to-me 'heavy' pellets from Crosman. I was able to knock off a few more targets before I had to shut down the range (my wife had to pull up the rolling desk containing her computer equipment so she could start her telecommuting shift at 6:00, and I'd really hate to put one of these 10.5gr beasties through her company-supplied laptop or one of those very nice 27" HD flatscreen monitors, so that was it for the day). I have to admit I'm impressed with these pellets, the heaviest I've yet put through my all black Daisy 880. Every single pellet from the new tin -- excepting only that first errant shot -- hit the target EXACTLY where it had been aimed. Obviously, these things are super accurate and my already accurate (open sights only) air rifle seems to really enjoy shooting them. Unfortunately, Daisy and the Domed Ultra Magnums together were so accurate it was easier than ever to see exactly when and where I was going wrong with my breathing, aim, trigger pull and anything else. If I didn't hit the target precisely where I intended to hit it, as the old gospel blues song goes, "ain't nobody's fault but mine." When I miss hitting something dead-on, it's me, not the rifle or pellet. I'm making kind of a big deal out of this because it hopefully makes for slightly better reading (grin), but it did make even the tiniest mistake quite obvious, which actually is a good thing. I'm definitely impressed by their performance, Daisy and I like them very much and I absolutely will be getting more of these bad boys when the tin runs low, at least until something better comes along. Now, I just need to find something of comparable or more weight that isn't made of lead, and when I have, I need it to be at least in the same general ballpark when it comes to cost. I can wish for that, but it isn't that likely to happen, I'm afraid, given lead is pretty much dirt cheap and anything else isn't. That's actually a big plus with these pellets, as the Crosman Domed Ultra Magnum pellets in tins of 500 are incredibly easy-on-the-wallet, although I'll be paying for them in a different way when I get around to my next cleaning, probably quite soon, when I'm trying to get all that extra lead pellet crud out of my rifle without taking all the rifling along with it. I know JSB and H&N at least have some coated and other-than-lead heavier pellets available now that'll no doubt do the job, and maybe do it even better than these, since my Daisy seems to prefer just about any pellet not made of lead. Unfortunately, there is a big difference in cost, with a couple of hundred of either costing about three to almost four times as much as 500 of these, but I still think I'll have to at least give them a try. Who knows? Maybe one will end up being my new go-to pellet when accuracy is absolutely critical and I'll always keep some handy. We'll see. Unless and until that happens? These 10.5 grain Premier Domed Ultra Magnum pellets by Crosman absolutely will be my go-to pellet when I can't afford to miss my mark.

My goal was finding a pellet I can use in all my air-guns with relative accuracy... These are not expensive pellets. The quality is somewhere between good and "better", and of course they are covered in lubricant. Your fingers WILL get yucky. On the other hand, the consistency is fantastic. My Benji's groupings are horrible right now, but I'm still breaking my 392 (and have yet the clean the overspray inside the barrel)... Four pumps will blow through 1/2 in treated fence boards sending splinters flying... normally, I'm not gonna use a spare fence board for penetration and impact, but the fact the splinters blew out in multiple directions tells me that the knock-down power is there with limited expansion. My 1322 groups amazing with these lower-priced-projectiles at 15 yards- freehand covered with a quarter, and I'm a lousy shot. The Optimus? Well, I have several less squirrels annoying the bluebirds, cardinals, and finches- those shots were taken at near 50-degree angles about 25 yards up into trees- clean headshot kills. The Optimus blows them through older untreated yellow-pine 2x4s and treated 5/4 decking. I dug some pellets out of treated 4x4 posts after 6, 7, and 8 pumps and was impressed with both penetration and actual concussive energy, given that these do not expand the way my hollow-points would. I am also getting relatively tight groupings given my un-cleaned barrel (1" @ 12 yards with 2 out of 7 fliers). I haven't bothered with 20-yard shots until my barrel is seasoned and I give it a good cleaning, but thus far, these pellets are performing better than all my other 22-caliber pellets. Again, YMMV, and if I clean my barrel (maybe this weekend if I don't get another attack of The Lazies), my 392 may end up preferring something else. Why should you buy these pellets? 1: they are consistent 2: price-per-shot is great 3: they come pre-lubed 4: Amazon Prime! 5: they group decently in every .22 air rifle I've used, from the Optimus springer to my neighbor's NP2 and several MPPs

Excellent pellets. No issues with firing or lead buildup.

It's good and accurate but some skirt was bent came damage tin all beat up

They are fast and aggressive pellets. I haven't been able to clock one on a chronograph, but I have been able to shoot through steel 55-gallon drums using these pellets. This pellet design is ideal for pest control since it contains no lead and only the plastic, orange part will be left behind after the shot. So, if you shoot some rats or other pests, then put those outside for birds to eat, the birds should be able to easily deal with the orange part. Birds eat by peeling and tearing prey, so the orange part should fall out as they eat, avoiding any problem of contaminating the bird. UPDATE: I have taken out a few pest animals with these. I can now confirm from firsthand experience that they are humane & accurate pellets. UPDATE 2: A year later, this is still my ammo of choice. Just now I have taken my third armadillo with these pellets. With a pump-up gun, these pellets can penetrate armadillo hides. You might've heard stories about bullets bouncing off them and coming back, but these pellets just slice right through. So, a head hit is not necessary as I once thought. This brings me peace of mind, since I now know I can target them from any angle instead of blundering through the swamp at night trying to get their head into view. And, I can target them while they're under a building without concern that there will be a ricochet that makes a hole in the floor. Well, if you have an armadillo problem and you're looking at these pellets, these are things you'd want to know. The pellets will work and are as humane as they get. I shoot them from a Crosman Legacy that does 12 pumps maximum.

gets a good grouping, super precise, good quality !

Received order the day after placing it. Excellent service. Pellets are very uniform and I found good tight grouping on target when used. Best quality lead pellets that I have used.

Fast, fast, fast! Very accurate and went through a 3/4 inch plywood at 15 metres! Will buy them again and again! The speed of these pellets seems to really improve the accuracy

je fait du tir sportif et elle sont précise et efficace
