Crosman P022 .22-Caliber Pointed Pellets (175-Count)

First off I will tell you off the bat, that yes, these are more expensive than other pellets since you pay for only 175 pellets when for the same price you can buy JSB's or RWS pellets for 250 a tin. BUT, although you get more pellets almost 1/3 of those pellets are deformed or bent at the skirt, thus leaving you with little good pellets to shoot. Out of two of these pointed crosman .22 pellets i have found probably less than 5 pellets deformed or bent at the skirt. Everyone of these pellets are in perfect condition! I have trouble finding good pellets in a tin from most brands, but with these I find more trouble finding the bad pellets in these crosman tins! The lead is a much more dense and harder lead than other companies even those like the jsb diabolos or rws. Second and last, the performance. I have a crosman nitro venom (.22) with the stock scope that came with it and an ncstar red dot laser attached to the barrel. With some tinkering and adjusting I was able to get the laser to point exactly where the crosman pellets were going and then of course adjusting the scope to the laser. So now I can use the laser to consistently align the barrel of the gun with the scope of the gun everytime, meaning there is no innacuracy variable from the break barrel feature of the gun. This essentially leaves the only variable to be from the actual inner barrel of the gun and the pellet itself. So after shooting from and rest bench position of the floor using the artillery hold and the laser and scope to perfectly align the barrel and the scope everytime, these crosman pointed pellets will shoot pennies at 23 yards consistently EVERYTIME!. You can not miss! I have tried aligning and using the same method with JSB diabolo exact jumbo heavies and RWS super points only to find accurate, but nowhere near as accurate as these crosman pointed pellets! To be more specific the JSBs and RWS pellets were shooting about 1 1/2 inch groups at 23 yds, but the point crosman pellets were getting 1/2 an inch! That is a very big difference especialy for long range shooting! Other variables that were eliminated or treated were lubrication of the pivot and locking detent, cleaning of the barrel, lubrication/ cleaning of the piston and piston chamber (using crosman silicone oil), and adjustment of the pivot screw to balance the looseness and tightness of the screw for perfect and consistent accuracy (google this to find out how this effects your breakbarrel) In conclusion, I gotta say if you have a crosman nitro venom absolutely buy these! And dont be afraid of the price. In the end youll get the same amount of good uniform pellets as you would any tin for the same price, you just wont have to sort them out!

Probably not the best for hunting but definitely good for target practice. Also got early than expected might buy more in the future

Not as pointy as the pictures show but adequate for the task. Seem to fly fairly straight up to 50ft. My unit is handheld and rated for 450fpm. Most of my targets are approximately 12 inches in height and weigh less than 2 lbs. These pellets are hitting their mark within 25ft without issue.

I only have one 22 caliber air gun right now. Soon, I'll have two, as I just ordered a Crosman 2240 through Amazon, and they have the best price on them. Since an airgun pellet is comparable to a smokeless powder handload, in that ANY given airgun may "like" any given pellet, while the next airgun may hate that pellet. When you get a new airgun, you have to buy a selection of different pellets to try, until you find gun's favorite. And, to complicate matters, your gun may change it's preference over time. So, I think the gun you shoot with a pellet you are reviewing should be specified. In my case, I have a Crosman 1322. I have replaced the plastic breech with a steel one so as to have a solid platform to mount a scope onto. I then mounted a Centerpoint 4 power rifle scope, and put on the Crosman buttstock. This makes for a really handy little carbine, with variable power (depending on the number of pumps you use), yet decent accuracy. This is a pellet I bought right after getting the 1322. I found, at 10 yards off a rest, that it had good results using 6 pumps. Yesterday, I was shooting this, and a few other pellets, in that gun. After shooting for a while, I got in the groove. I hit the point where I was piling the pellets into tiny one hole groups like 3 out of 4 targets would go that way. The best single group of the day was with these Crosman Field Hunting pellets. At 10 yards the group was literally the diameter of one .177 pellet. I was only shooting 3 shot groups, but 3 is enough often times, to reject one pellet, and favor another. I tried some Crosman Ultra Mags, but those groups, though maybe about 3/4", always had at least one flyer, which tells me to move on. My 1322 also likes the Ruger pointed pellets, and gave some great groups with that one( I also reviewed them here at Amazon). This gun had showed to do well with the Gamo Match wadcutter's, but, consistency was a problem. Also, the diameter of those pellets must very a lot, because about every other pellet won't go into the breech without using too much force, which may be distorting the pellet. I have not tried the more exotic pellets such as JSB, RWS, etc, because Amazon won't ship them to me as I live in Hawaii. Amazon will ship these Crosman Field Hunter's to me, and I just ordered 4 more tins. I can't reliably find these in nearby Hilo, so Amazon is my source. I'm giving these 4 stars for now. When I get my new 2240 I will try them in that, and if that gun likes them as much as my 1322 does, I will up my rating to 5 stars at that time. In the meantime, I would suggest these as a decent airgun pellet at comparatively low prices (compared to the premium pellets), and would suggest you grab a tin of these to test them in your gun. My 1322 hates the Crosman Premier hollow points, spewing them all over the target like a shotgun pattern (I do exagerate here, but way too many filers). Crosman doesn't seem to make a 22 caliber wadcutter. Too bad, as their .177 wadcutters seem decent. The 1322, with a 10" barrel, is excellent at 10 yards, and probably okay to 15. 25? Probably not.

Great value!

These have been a HUGE success against backyard rodents.

This is a great product. Easy to use. Everything you need in the box

These are great all purpose pellets. My Avenger pcp puts them through the same hole at 30 and 40 yards all day. I have 8 nitro piston and 6 pcp airguns. Each one has its favorite but These pellets fly straight in all of them.

Sensational accuracy and penetration. Not only are they deadly on rodents and other small game as their penetrative power is fantastic. They go through 2 to 3 large soup cans in a 495 FPS un modded 1322. However they really shine in my heavily modded Crosman 22XX and 13XX series pistols and rifles. I have killed 54 rats in a 4 day period, all with single shots to the body or the head. I only wish they offered these pellets in tins of 500 pellets. What also really impressed me is when sighted in to my guns I can also use Crosman Ultra Magnum Hunting Pellets, and the Crosman Destroyer pellets with my EXACT same scope settings. I have tried this also out on 5 different scopes on my Crosman Phantom, 2250B, 2240, 1377, and 1322. I will try it out on other Crosman's I own and modded, but so far all my Crosman's are consistently showing the same results so far. So this I am thinking many of you will see the same results. Especially with Crosman guns. I can't guarantee any other airgun manufacturers, but with those Crosman models I mention...fish on!!!! All 3 pellet types hit to within a millimetre of each other, on any Crosman rifle or pistol I have tried out of mine so far. Allowing you to use all 3 pellet types without changing a single scope setting is a major time saving bonus. It adds a lot of options and versitility for you. BTW, the Benjamin Discovery Hollow Points shoot to within 2 mm's of where I aim with the same scope settings. So I even have a standard hollow point option to use, once again with nearly the exact same scope settings on my Zeiss 3-9 x 40mm scope. They hit right a few mm's more than the other pellets. So I just aim left 2 mm's and they are pretty much bulls territory too. This gives me a solid hollow point option. These pointed Crosman pellets hit within 1 to 2 mm's of where you aim once sighted in. You don't need better can plinkers, paper punchers, or rodent killers. These are the ultimate plinking pellets. Especially for .22 caliber rifles.

great shots

Fast lil buggers, Worked for for pest control

Hi, The pointed version of the CPs is still a mystery for the most part to Marketing. But for all the customers that have used these little bullets, know they have an edge that's outside our known physics. My guess is that most of the 14.3 grains is somewhere in the perfect center of these pellets and the point is out front receiving the extra weight to drive it so much deeper than most pellets. We tried them most as we could and so these fascinate us.

Good price for Quality product
