but i just ordered 5 tins of gamo .22 round balls and 5 tins of crosman .22 destroyers for 11 dollars cheaper from wholesale hunter: http://www.wholesalehunter.com/subcategory.asp?keywords=Airguns+%26+Accessories&category=AG (http://www.wholesalehunter.com/subcategory.asp?keywords=Airguns+%26+Accessories&category=AG)

Yeah they don't carry all the pellets from Crosman, Beeman or RWS, but they do have decent prices.
Plese let us know how well the tins were packed when your pellet order arrives, any damaged tins, etc. That's the only thing that scares me when ordering pellets from other than P/A. I have had very bad experience with most of them, who just throw the tins loose in a box with a couple of pieces of newspaper. Nothing could be worse than all the tins banging around and with each other in a cardboard box during shipping. Half or more of the pellet skirts in every tin were bent.

hmm.. that's something i didn't consider... I'll update once i get them in a few days

I looked as well and Harry is right. I did not see one pellet that I would buy from them. I use 90% JSB's and Crosman in the brown box. I have tried all the rest and for me and target shooting the ones I mentioned are what I buy.
Thanks for sharing though.

Received 4 tins from PA and two were pretty banged up. I was surprised as the box was in good shape. Had to have been packed that way. Was my first purchase from them. Will now have to look at pellets to see if any substantial number were affected. Learning as I go.

Were pellets packaged in our custom foam?
Thank you

Same here. I have received dented tins from P/A as well when they were packed very well with the grey foam. They were packed that way. It only happened once since they started packing the pellets with the foam about 3-4yrs ago (before that I had 3 out of 3 orders - with dented and opened/spilled tins and were ordering from elsewhere..), so it was no biggie. I have received about 8-9 pellet orders the last 2-3yrs with no problems at all. P/A will always have some slightly dented tins that they need to get rid off. Not all the tins they import or purchase arrive at their warehouse 100%. I usually just call them up and get them replaced. Probably the most important thing is that I write the in the comments when I order, that I will NOT accept dented tins. So maybe that's why my last 8-9 orders have been perfect :)

The last two orders I have gotten from them have had dented tins in them. One tin of JSB's some of the skirts were smashed completely flat.

ive been tracking my order with that other place and it says there was a train derailment. i looked up that locations local newspaper and yes there was a 16 car derailment where several small fires broke out.. that was 2 days ago and it hasnt updated the shipment yet. i dont think i'll be getting them anytime soon if ever... >:-(

looks like i was a bit pessimistic in that last post. i got the pellets yesterday. they were wrapped in packing paper (the thick brown paper for shipping) and all of them look completely unharmed. not a single dent in any tin or even any pellet skirt. And despite the accident they were only a day late according to the online parcel tracker
The .22 destroyers are pretty cool. i shot a few into water at about 600 fps and they expanded to about .28 to .30 and they seem to group decently at 30-40 feet

Thanks for the update Millepede. Have fun shooting!
