Excellent deal.
Hmm…I don’t have an AMAZON account.
-
I just set up an Amazon account solely for this bargain! Never used benjamin pellets before but I'm sure these are just cphp in a bigger tin! Score!
-
The Crosman tin is $5.99 for 500 ( exactly same pellet ) but not in the Benjamin label.

Benjamin $9.99 for 750 equals $0.01332 per pellet
Crosman $5.99 for 500 equals $0.01198 per pellet
Technically the Crosman is $0.00134 less expensive per pellet
But those prices could change in a heartbeat! Right now they both look good.

Now he tells me lol.
Oh well, I would think the Benji pellets will be a little better quality. I hope so. I know the 22 domed pellets seem to be better than the cpum 22.
-
I also think Benji pellets are a tad better than Crosman, perhaps that is where their brown box pellets went ??? They are packed on a bubble card so should ship well.
-
Last pellets I ordered they just threw the tins in the box….they survived the trip…good luck
PS….just got a BB order from PA…they did the same thing…they survived too..lol

I contacted Crosman about Benji vs Crosman pellets a few years ago and they said only the packaging was different.
-
Pellets arrived safe and sound in the cardboard backed packaging.
-
I still have 2 and 1/2 tins of those on hand. Mine are the Jim Schokey (spl).
-
Mine arrive yesterday clam pack in an envelope no damage... so now have six tins of the 750 count... plus about half a tin.. ;)
have a ton of CPHP 500 count also... in .177 have not really noticed any difference...
But in .22 I have about half Discovery .22 hollow point from about 4014-thru 2016 and half CPHP pick up at various times... some recently... in my pumpers and stock Maximus the Discovery do tend to consistently shoot about 10 fps faster... but no real difference in accuracy at 30-40 yards...
