Crosman destroyers .177&.22

[Steeb86]

Does anyone else have these pellets shoot higher velocities than cpums and cphps from their guns?  ALL of my Benjamin's shoot these pellets at a higher velocity than Amy other pellet I've tried, even the very few alloy pellets.  I don't actively use alloys I just had a few left over so I figured I'd give th a try just to see what their fps/fpe would be.

I have not used the .22 destroyers yet but I did test some old .177 destroyers and destroyer Ex.

The old Destroyers would not shoot well in my pumpers well maybe accurate to 10-15 yards.

The destroyer Ex shoot well for me out to about 25 yards not as good as the UM, CPHP and points but acceptable.

As for velocity in my guns they pretty much match the points which makes sense they both weigh in at 7.4g.


I need to get some .22 destroyers and find out how they do they seem to expand well in all the test I read.  I am curious if the extra weight

helps keep them accurate.

I use the .177 Destroyers for picking off sparrows and starlings, they do very well in both my Optimus and Daisy 880.  I have yet to try them on 4 legged vermin.

I like the .177 destroyers but the .22 is a crapshoot

The Destroyer Ex .177 or .22 both shoot low from POA
They also shoot lower fps numbers for me.
But !!
They both make great starting point pellets for making my custom pellets
.177 : Glue DOT/ZOT then small pistol primmer on top
.22 : The small glue dot then large rifle or mag rifle primmer on top

Just because I like to show off for people that like to give you "The look"
when you say Air gun or pellet gun

I've changed more than a few minds this way.
