Crossman Premier Hollow Points

[Schmidty25]

I have found my new favorite pellet.  My G1 Extreme just loves these things. From 50 feet  it shoots nickel sized groups.  I get them at Wal Mart for $6.46  for a 500 rd Tin.  You cant beat that.  These pellets expand well.
For better expansion I started using a thin razor blade to create a crosshair effect on the front of the bullet to allow for more expansion and it worked very well.
I also think that the gun is getting alot more accurate with time.  Just wanted to say these pellets are awesome

They are darn good pellet's, my TAC1 Extreme like's them also along with the Predator's. Ed

Great all-around plinker for sure but plenty enough for hunting too. For the price, you get alot more for the money compared to the other 'premier' brands of pellets! tjk

I think that they are pretty good pellets also.  I have found that, if you stretch the distance out to 35yds. or so and shoot like 20 shot groups, you will start to see 2 to 3 distinct groups within the 20 shot group.  I have not weighed and sorted pellets with these before, but this will usually eliminate this occurence.  I only weigh and sort the pellets that are used for long range, because that is a couple of hours of my life I will never get back.  If you ever get into competition sorting can be the difference between 1st place and 10th.  With that being stated, I wouldn't hesitate to use unsorted CP HPs for normal hunting distances.

The premiers fit very nice in the G1.  I have a tin of Crossman Premier Super Points and they Are extremely tight in the barrel and are HORRIBLE!!!  I also have the deystroyers they are great for shorter range.  Longer range they lose too much momentum and drop more than other pellets.  I am going to post up some pics of the expansion into paper.  with and without the relief cuts

Bought some of these last night at Wal-Mart opened them up and found several Destroyers.Called Crossman this morning not to complain but just to let them know.The CSR ask for my name and address and told me she shipping a can of each to me!Best custumer service that I have had from any company.Ill be buying more crossman products.

[Schmidty25]

That is awesome!  I haven't had any tins like that yet?  Hopefully I get one so I can get a few free tins. lol  I went and bought 2 more tins yesterday.

wow.

i actually had the exact same thing happen minus the call to crossman... i haed i think 3 random other pellets in one tin... only once... and never heard of it anywhere else...  I ended up getting just the regular domed however, not destroyers.    i'v shot mabey 5-6 tins of these however, i love CPHP's.  my Gamo shoots them well, at least well enough, i killed a Duck that had a broken wing from about 125 yards... now it took me like 4 shots to hit him, but the terminal performance at that range out of my Gamo Big Cat, was just fantastic. one shot (hit) and it was toast.  did two, 1 wing flaps, and ceased to exist in the mortal world.

Pics in order are
1. Crossman premier hp with expansion cuts
2. Regular pellet shot into newspaper
3. group of 4 regulars shot into newspaper
4. Pellet cut for expansion shot into newspaper
5. group of 4 cut pellets shot into the paper

I am going to see if cutting the pellets effects the accuracy.  as far as I can tell there is a very minimal effect on accuracy.

[coax]

I would definitely say that the cutting for expansion makes a significant difference.  Please keep us posted when you start the accuracy comparison tests.

I am buying a tin of CP HP for my TF-89. Will chime in when I use them, but been hearing from alot of people they are great pellets.

Yep, that expansion looks pretty impressive.

i dont think that their is a big diffence in accuracy, if any, just wacked a squirrel 35 yards away a couple of days ago using this idea, (cause i got the idea off of you), he only dropped 5 feet, and never kicked, i cut mine all the way down to the very bottom of the hollow point

[ShadowShot]

Is this in .177 or .22?

[1shotwander]

they look like their .22's, look a little big to be .177
