.20 caliber IHunter Score 14.3 gr pellets

[Ike the GSD]

Has anyone tried these? They are apparently made in England not a rebranded JSB or H&N here's a link to them: https://ihunter.co.uk/product/ihunter-score-20-5-00mm-ct250/

Thanks guys👍

[Ike the GSD]

Well either I found a brand of pellet nobody has any experience with or nobody gives a hoot LOL!🤣👍

Flat $34.00 to the U.S. 👀😬 LOL! I've found a place called "Crow Tree" on ebay that sells them for $24.95 free shipping for a tin of 250 which is a lot cheaper than getting them from England, but it's still outrageously expensive. My buddy just bought a sampler pack from Crow Tree which has 50 of the 14.3's 50 of the 15.73 IHunter pellets and 50 Baracudas and 50 FTT's for around $25.00.

For that kind of money, they ought to load themselves and be 1 hollers! LOL!!!!

At that weight ... AND, being years back the CROSMAN pellets in .20 were sold as rebranded over in the UK they might be old inventory Crosmans or something perhaps chinese ?

New to the UK certainly describes Nothing !!!

I've looked at open tins of the old Crosman 14.3 pellets and they're shaped completely different. They would have to have tons of those old Crosman pellets to warrant making new tins and "rebranding" them. Like I said, they don't look anything like these IHunter pellets. These IHunter pellets are shaped more like the H&N FTT's and from everything I could find, they appear to be made in the U.K🤷‍♂️!  Given the pellet choices we have in this caliber, any new addition should put a smile on your face, it does mine👍

I just found these on ebay and they do look an awful lot like the IHunters, the Crosmans I looked at yesterday weren't shaped like these? I feel like I'm about to be told Santa Claus doesn't exist all over again LOL! I'm not sure what kind of pull we have collectively as members here, but you would think if a bunch of us approached a company like Vogel, they would at least consider making limited runs of .20 cal pellets. I went to a few British airgun forums that discussed the IHunter pellets and they all talk mean about them LOL! Oh well, that's what I get for being excited about something 😵

[Ike the GSD]

In case you were wondering, this is the company I was hoping might consider making .20 cal pellets for us:  https://podiumpellets.com/vogel-domed-sport-177-4-5-cal-9-3grain-605gram-airgun-pellet-1500ct/

Original crosman .20's were Diablo shaped .... there last version in .20 were sorta Sheridan pellet Trash can shape & we'll agree were GARBAGE !!!
Here my last tin of Uk "Webley" .20's which were Crosmans originals ... Just an FYI for this conversation

Man it just doesn't make any sense for them to rebrand a pellet that hasn't been made in such a long time? Where are they getting them from I wonder? On a side note, if you forget and leave pellets in your pockets when you do laundry, they come out looking fabulous👍😵🤣

Yeah the ones I saw yesterday in the open tin looked like the "sorta Sheridan" version you describe.

[Motorhead]

Yea these crappy pellets ... lol
Same weight 14.3g


Yes I'm a fan of .20 cal !!!
Also have 3 boxes ( 625 count ) single die originals stashed away too 

[Mark 611]

Scott, Crosman has not made any .20cal pellets for a long time, as we know, if you have further info that I don't know please inform us? how can you say these pellets are rebranded Crosman pellets? 

[Motorhead]

Never stated that ... just the possibility in conversation
Heck i have no idea, but some obscure manufacturer coming out with .20 cal is about as crazy ... IMO

Heck i ha the pellets command a premium in their original packaging, I've seen them as high as $58.00 a tin?ve no idea, but some obscure manufacturer coming out with .20 cal is about as crazy ... IMO 

  The pellets command quite a premium in their original tins I've seen them for sale at $58.00 Removing the pellets from their original packaging, repackaging them in new tins and charging less for the pellets that they could have had they left them in their original tins sounds pretty crazy too LOL!👍😉

[Motorhead]

Who the heck knows what Crosman did with the dies, or even any inventory out in distribution, storage or otherwise when they decided to stop making them ?
No one said they were Crosmans either .. please read what was stated and placing a personal spin on what was not said 

What would be nice is Actual photos of said .20's beyond the link that shows a tin ... honestly

My buddy has some of their heavy 15.73 pellets coming in a sampler pack, when he gets them I'll snap a picture of one on a white piece of paper so you can get a good look😉👍

Tia,

Here's a couple of pics of the 14.3 gr IHunter pellets, I measured them against a H&N FTT and here are the results, (H&N) { Skirt .204, Head .197, Length .245}
(IHunter 14.3) {Skirt .205, Head .195, Lenth .271}  The pellets are super clean and appear very well made, the alloy they use seems on the hard side, not sure if it's Crosman hard, but they aren't soft lead. They shoot very similar to the Baracuda's and load snug but not tight/hard. Overall I like them and they don't look like Crosmans when you have them in your hand, they actually look like an elongated FTT to me? Take care
