crossman premier hollow points

[crossfox21]

3 out of 5 do fairly well in my M-Rod

Tardip,
I too use the heavies, and like the consistancy at distance.  As far as springs go, if you're gonna do some tinkering on your AG this spring, you may consider a JM spring, that'll hold up to heavier pellets.  They're heavier wire will put the fatigue issue to rest.
If you have a RWS, you already have the spring that'll hold up to the heavy pellets.
Nonetheless, to me, springs and guides are an eventuallity, so shoot what is best for you.
Enjoy those Heavies

I just have a humble 10-pump Crosman 2100/Am77 ( the remington rebrand) that does 600-650 fps, and I've been having terrific luck with the CPHP after modifying my techniques a little bit.  With the predators I was just taking any shot I could get, and it would put the animal down but not all the time out and I would have to do a follow up.

So anyway, at first I didn't quite like the CPHP because I was putting the same shots on Starlings that I had with the Predators, but they were just flying/running away very displeased and would be out of there before I could get a follow-up shot.  In any case, then one morning I go out to a friend's orchard for crows and starlings and I shoot a crow off a powerline about 20-30 yards ( not really sure because the inline ) right through its back.  It dropped and was dead before I got to it.

So after that I just took front-on  shots when they were facing or facing away on Starlings and they were great and I was getting one-shot kills at 20-30 yards consistently, and just a couple of days ago another friend/property owner of mine wanted me to take care of his g. squirrels had me go out there.  I got two that popped out of a nesting hole, about 30-35 yards, and they were very devastating on those.  One that I got good chest-shot placement on bled out into a huge puddle before I could even jog up;  other one wasn't quite as clean, but even with the botched shot it just fell back into its nesting hole and was unable to run.

Frankly I doubt they even expand at the velocities I'm shooting them at, but they're 500 a tin and only $8.  Their "Pointed Field Hunting" are a little cheaper for two 250 tins, but I haven't had as much luck with them, so maybe the hollow point is going something despite the lack of expansion.

jefunjsh,
By chance, have you ever tried the Beeman Crow Magnums?
They're a very good hunter pellet that expand pretty easily...without going thru your quarry.  They're consistent and accurate for me at 25 yards, and expand at least 50 percent I've found.
They cost a bit more, but when you use them for hunting, a tin lasts a lot longer...so I figure that into the cost.   For regular "playing" I don't use them.  Hope this helps.

Worked OK for several years, until they got inconsistent in manufacture.

Been there, done that.  Use other pellets now.

I have really been happy with these in .22 but I picked up a tin in .177 to try and get my Super Streak something it will group with.  Really disappointed in how inconsistent these are.  I managed to get a few to group as long as they fit snug in the breech but then three would fit loosely and group 3 inches high.  Guess I am going to spend a little more money and try some heavier JSB's.  I just can't find pellet this gun likes yet and I thought the CPHP would be a good choice.  Guess it is too much to ask that they keep them at least close to the same size.

For my Storm XT the CPHP is the best so far, though I have not tried any of the expensive pellets.  

So far my experiences are

Crosman destroyer—cool shape, but my groups are about the size of a silver dollar at 20 yards.  Fun for plinking, but I would not shoot one at an animal for fear of only wounding it.

Crosman pointed—in the tin I have, one of the pellets feel about an inch into the barrel before it stopped.  Seem very inconsistent.  Same use as the destroyer.

Daisy Wadcutters—Holy &^^&, I shot these for the first time yesterday, and while I knew I would be really high because I scoped for the heavier CPHPs, these things were 8-9 inches to the right, and not even close to the same height off.  If I shoot the other light pellets, the still hit on center, just high.  These were just all over the place.  I will give them another shot tonight, and see if it was use error, though considering my other groups with other pellets, this is not my fault.   I have 2 tins of 500 of these, and will most likely just give them away if I can’t get them to at least shoot straight.  


Crosman supersonic pellets----yeah well those are junk.

Crosman CPHP.  These were not available at Wally World the first time I went so I grabbed the &^^& listed above.  While these have an occasional flyer, I have lots of nickel and dime sized groups.  They are $7 for 500 at wally and my gun loves them.


Anybody want some Daisys?

[Singleshooter]

I was disappointed for sure as they are great in .22 for the Titan and the XL.  But hey, the RWS SHP that the Whisper loves won't shoot in it either.  I'll go heavier and see how it does.

[AlwaysLearning]

I used CHP's in my Big cat with decent results. They are also the only pellet I have tried so far out of my TX200. The hollow points are nice, but if you're looking for the best pellet, not the best value, you obviously need to look at a more expensive pellet.

[jefunjsh]

I wish I could find other pellets in stores as much as I can with these.  They're everywhere in town.  I really wouldn't even blink an eye spending a few dollars more on some RWS, JSB or FTT or something since tin-to-tin they're not that much more expensive... However, once you factor shipping in, all of the other brands are upwards to $15-$20 a tin versus $8-10.

[Bullit]

jefunjsh...Yeah, unless you have a shop near you, they can get pricey.  I don't know where you're at but perhaps there may be other  shooters near you who could help with some pellets. Call around some gunshops, or gun clubs and you may find someone who knows someone.
I personally haven't been that impressed with the cphps from Wmart.

I'd stick with domed pellets in the 7.9 to 9 area, and buy more than a few tins to distribute the S/H cost.  I know that's not a magic answer, but we're ALL hostage to the S/H costs today.  

Hey, you can always ask for Gift Cards from the places you wanna get pellets from !

Yeah, I was actually just thinking about ordering those big 1250 ct boxes of the crosman premier domed pellets--since the cphp works well for me I figure they would too, and I doubt the hollow point is really doing much for me.  Plus I'll get to try the 10 gn ones.

Gift cards would be a good one too, but not all places offer free shipping on gift cards.  Does PyramydAir have them?

[Bullit]

jefunjsh...Yes PA has a gift card.  They ship free.  They're advertising them now for Fathers Day.  For your pumper, you may wanna go with the Crosman Premier Domes in 7.9g.  They come boxed as well.  Also the JSB Exacts are excellent.  Again, with that A/G, I would personally stay away from heavy pellets.

I was reading this guys responce for excepting inferior pellets and I just couldn't keep my month shut.  Dude! Try H&N or RWS for pete's sake.  Life is too short to settle for one flavor.  If you care enough to post about your experience you should care enough to get the most out of your gun. 

I hope this helped
