Quiet week for deals, I did come across these Pellets at Amazon
Benjamin Hollow Point 22 cal 14.3 gr. 500 ct tin for $5.96
Maybe one of the Senior Contributors can tell us if this pallet is any different than the Crosman Premier
This is listed as an Add-on item so you will need to spend $25 on other things to get the free shipping

Here is the link. Yes, good pellets. Amazon boxing - TERRIBLE!! But, if they are carded, should be fine.

That's a good deal but it's an add-on item and they are only like a dollar more at Walmart
-
The only pellets that I'll be buying anymore are going to be .177 because I have .22 and up covered with casting.

These are my go-to .22 pellet, they shoot well out of my Trail NPE and both Hatsans. I usually pay about $9 at Academy or Walmart, so this is a good deal. Now I just need to figure out what else to buy so I can save some money.

That's easy. Buy 4+ more of the same. Pellets, like CO2 carts, last forever; they won't become obsolete or get less expensive (like electronics); you will use them. And these are your go-to .22 ... end of enabling session. [~$15-20 saved]

Huh what a coincidence! I was just out shooting some of these!
I had a tin ratteling around in my box o tins. They shot horribly out of my springers but I ran out of JSB's so I figured I would give them a try in the Seneca Aspen.
They seem to group okay, not as good as the JSB but you go with what you got right? Also it is kind of windy and hot so, whatever.
Still they group inside 2" at 100 feet more or less.

Don't be silly, you have no will power. Neither do I...

I want to say they are no different... BUT
I picked up a few thousand of them at wally world about the time I joined the forum for 5$ a tin... they consistently shot 15 fps faster than the Crosman hollow points out of my pumpers... accuracy was the same... Disco barrels
Did not chrony them out of my Maximus and again the accuracy was no measurable difference...
picked up a Gamo Urban recently and a BSA buc .22 that got here this past Thursday... both are very slightly more accurate with the Benji pellets from back then...it seems to the tune of about .125"
I could be due to my input as a shooter(but do not think so) or they could be just a touch more consistent... Could be just it was a batch from a fresh mold... could be wind and statistics...do not know... and do not know why they were a bit faster out of my disco barred pumpers but they were...
But yep same pellet different tin...
ordered 2000 more to see how this lot fares... would have also picked up 1000 of them thru Wally World out of curiosity... but are out of stock at same price.. ;)... have a in for employee 10% discount (know someone who works there)...
they JSB 15 do just slightly better within 40 yards waiting for better weather to test further...

It's a great price and I bet the Benjamins come in a tin of 500. The .177 version come in a tin of 750. But, I only have one .22 airgun, and it doesn't shoot these well.

sale price has ended, back up to $10
