CrosmanCrosman Domed Premier Pellets, 0.22-Calibre, 500 Count

I run these thru a Sig rattler canebreak. Sometimes I use the 90gram carts and sometimes 25 gram with an adapter. Either one, so long as you are not on a cold, cold day penetrate like nothing I have seen before. I set up a target in the yard made up from 20 brand new home depot cardboard boxes taped along the sides tightly to a 2x2 piece of 3/4 ply. that is 40 layers of bran new cardboard boxing. Last night I decided to try a few of my more exotic pellets on it. I fire from a fixed position, 50 plus feet away. I threw everything at this target. I have an Umerex HDX68 that I removed ALL the governors from. That thing when firing aluminium .68 balls penetrate about 15-20 layers in depending on the cart I use which is a 25gram with adapters or a 90 gram. The hard nylon fly faster. These are no longer "less than lethal" I was surprised at the force I was getting. The previous night I nailed three rats in a jasmine vine from about 50 feet yet again with my sig loaded with Gammo Lethal's. All three rats dead and two of the slammed into the fence before they dropped... that shocked me. Then I decided to run a test with the pellets on my box trap target. I avoided the torn up areas and shot into virgin cardboard using the Gammo Lethals, Stoeger magnums, Crossman Gold Flights, Stoeger x-power maximum penetrator copper, and these nutty looking tiny and light crossman fast flights... everything penetrated past 20 layers, that's ten boxes. The crossman gold flights were hard to load into the belts but they went up to the last three or four boxes. The Gammo Lethals hit HARD and got almost as far as the Golds. The fast flights????!!!! They would leave the sabot behind and continue to travel... I found them completely through 40 layers of cardboard... that's twenty brand new boxes and embedded into the plywood. Just to further check them I fired them at a steel storage cabinet in my garage... 16 gauge steel, from about 25 feet... it easily penetrated the door and almost the back wall. I put one clean through my redwood fence. my ultimate challenge was a polyethylene cutting board... ehhhh... don't try that. Nothing penetrated and they all ricochet back straight at me. I'm not sure I could penetrate that one with a .380 let alone a .177 CO2 pellet. I've yet to put it though my break barrel which will get up to 1200 FPS. The Sig maxes out at 700 FPS. Can you imagine dieseling one of those through the break barrel?!?! That would be wicked hard. I am buyijg more and thats what I will use for the rats. They are alloy so they don't deform and mushroom but the force they impart is going to knock those roof rats right off the fence.

I have an air rifle that takes the .177 size. I live in the middle of an urban area on 8 acres and cannot use my shotgun or handgun to keep some of the wildlife in check. We have a new coyote on our property that is starting to feel emboldened. So I needed something effective. I tried one of these out on a predatory, sickly raccoon that I have been attempting to exterminate. Waited for 4 hours in the middle of the night laying on my porch in 96 degree weather for him to make himself known. And I dropped him with 1 shot through the head with one of these pointed pellets. I adore wildlife, but sometimes the circumstances call for control. Now - I am hoping to exterminate the coyote if/when I see him.And yes - this is all within the regulatory body under which I live and they are aware of my actions.If I had one miniscule complaint it would be the top of the packaging of this item (the clear top) is not actually a clear fixed top. It is a piece of circular clear plastic inserted into the round metal rim of the top. When I take the top off to retrieve a pellet, the clear insert almost always falls out - thereby potentially spilling all of the pellets. I have since glued the circular plastic clear piece to the metal rim of the top to prevent same from occurring again. Despite this temporary annoyance - I still highly recommend this product and stand by the 5 star review.UPDATE 10/8/2024: Don’t know if the company read my review, but received 2 pellet packages today and both had the clear plastic insert already glued to the metal rim. Now the product and the product container is perfection for my use.

They are fast and aggressive pellets. I haven't been able to clock one on a chronograph, but I have been able to shoot through steel 55-gallon drums using these pellets. This pellet design is ideal for pest control since it contains no lead and only the plastic, orange part will be left behind after the shot. So, if you shoot some rats or other pests, then put those outside for birds to eat, the birds should be able to easily deal with the orange part. Birds eat by peeling and tearing prey, so the orange part should fall out as they eat, avoiding any problem of contaminating the bird.UPDATE: I have taken out a few pest animals with these. I can now confirm from firsthand experience that they are humane & accurate pellets.UPDATE 2: A year later, this is still my ammo of choice. Just now I have taken my third armadillo with these pellets. With a pump-up gun, these pellets can penetrate armadillo hides. You might've heard stories about bullets bouncing off them and coming back, but these pellets just slice right through. So, a head hit is not necessary as I once thought. This brings me peace of mind, since I now know I can target them from any angle instead of blundering through the swamp at night trying to get their head into view. And, I can target them while they're under a building without concern that there will be a ricochet that makes a hole in the floor. Well, if you have an armadillo problem and you're looking at these pellets, these are things you'd want to know. The pellets will work and are as humane as they get. I shoot them from a Crosman Legacy that does 12 pumps maximum.

Great pellets…. The “case” for the pellets is very cheaply made

Would buy again for the price

These pellets are awesome I recommend these highly I won't use any other pellets but these from now on

Many separated pellets in the can.
