Crosman Premier HPs or Domed?
When most Talon SS users say they like CPs are they referring to the domed in the boxes or the hollow points in the tins?

CPHP’s are not consistant in form. I was weighting my CPHP’s and placed them on my digital scale with the HP facing down. Some visually looked to sit vertical and others sat on a tilt.
Maybe this is why I get the occasional “flyer”
The standard domed crosman in the cardboard box are the most or equal to the jsb pellet for the best accuracy for me. They shoot one hole accurate for me at 25 yards, haven’t tried the hp crossmans yet.
i also pushed my rifles to, i boght my condor because it was the most powerful gun out there. i tuned it for 70fpe, but got real tired of only being able to shoot ej’s and using a shit load of air. but it was nice being able to group out at 115 yards. but then i lost the power craze that almost every air gunner gets in the begining, that is what sells after all. now i stick in the 20-45 fpe range depending on the pellet. but usually around 25 fpe, did you guys know you can get a shit load of shot at that power level 😆 now my gun is set to shot from 2800 to 2000 psi and 25 fpe and i get almost 50-60 shots before poi change. 25 fpe is just so flexable when it comes to pellets
Now there’s some great advice from edward right there ! 🙂
I always push my rifles for everything I can get out of them and still maintain a high degree of accuracy.
With speeds of 975 – 1050 fps the only thing that works well for me is domed pellets … things like crow mags and pointed pellets have never perfomed well for me at those speeds.
i buy crosman pointed all the time the 175 piece cans, they work real good and are locally avaible, the fit is real consistent. hust be careful not to over power them they only like about 850 for me
i use the regular ole crosman premier pointed hunting pellets with good results that i get from the local big 5 sporting goods stores; 1″ groups at 35 yds using a red dot scope.
i’m certain i could do better with a regular scope and more select pellets, but, hey, that’s more than accurate enough to do what i wish to do with a rifle.
i have no scientific proof or studies (that i know of) but, i believe the hollow points are more prone to “wobble” in flight due to thier flat nose.
more simply put; they’re not as aerodynamic as are RN or PN pellets.
same here .22 cphp suck, i bouht 2000 thinking they would be great, nope pure shit, really lose head. .177 cphp work ok in some of my guns
Lucky you! I would take that 1/8th anyday in exchange for pellets at 1/3rd the cost. Unfortunately – my 30yd groups with CPHP’s are in the 2 inch range where the CP’s are around a half inch.
Honestly, if you don’t mind an extra eighth of an inch on your CTC one way or another, the Walmart HPs worked just as well in my AF as the tall dollar cardboard box CPs out to 30 yds. And the eighth-inch diff was probably most of my fault, for what it’s worth…
Me too. The hollow points are usually called CPHP’s. Get some for plinking cans and such (they are cheap), probably not what you’ll want to use to take advantage of the gun’s accuracy though. Esp if you are talking .22, they are the best cheap pellet I’ve tried. Never tried the .177’s but have heard that some guns really like them.
When I refer to CP’s I am talking about the domed pellets .. the HP’s are all over the target for me.

I have both and the one beef with the JSB is I find the skirt to be thin and prone to deformation opposed to the CP skirts…
Having said that maybe with the pressure of the air when the shot is fired the thin skirts of the JSB open up and form to the ID of the barrel.
