Title: CPHP .177 7.9s USA vs 7.6 Spain
Post by: NorCal David on March 30, 2025, 04:58:54 PM

As most everyone knows, Crosman Premier hollow point 7.9’s made in the USA are being replaced by 7.6s made in Spain, surely Gamo. Has anyone compared the two? Are they just rebranded Gamo? Anybody seen “new” CPHP in 22?

No hands-on testing yet. IME every airgun "likes what it likes" so I'm not going to judge until I can actually shoot some :-)
