I just sorted one of the 1250 brown box Crosmans, I die. The weight and head size and weight range is the same you listed. It seems to me they are the same pellet, just new packaging.

Then take then in a wet rag and tumble them wash, rince, dry , and lune real good and see the little extra you get out of them .. hand tumbling pellets makes a difference here to me vs out of tin.

I’ve been putting them in a harbor freight ultrasonic cleaner with Dawn. There is significant dust at the bottom after that

 

[Hateful McNasty]

The tumbling the pellets " grind" and help smooth out like casting line and knocks the lead flakes off ..

Matter of fact if you read the bengi pellet overview thats what there doing / tumbling those pellets to knock off the trash and smooth the pellets.

Heres some in the wash and lube faze





Just shoeshine back and forth tumble

Bullet point from Benjamin

• Longer tumbling times minimizes flash

I’ve had good results in the past with hand washing the old Eun Jin .25 pellets with dawn dish detergent and then lining a empty pellet tin with paper towels and adding about 10 drops of a synthetic 2cycle oil to the paper towel and then putting the washed and dried pellets into that can and shaking it around gently. The oil would coat them pretty well and I got greatly improved accuracy out of them. I have a marauder that really loved them. I even cleaned out each pellet skirt with a q-tip. Might sound silly but I kind of enjoyed doing something tiny and meticulous on a rainy winter day while I listened to some Trampled by Turtles music or something of the sort, waiting for my wife to holler that dinner was ready. Now I haven’t had that rifle out in years and I don’t spend any time washing pellets anymore, but I do have some plans for the Notos to occupy myself with this winter.

Side note: I always picked out the damaged pellets while I was washing and drying them also, and no doubt this played the greatest part in the improved accuracy.
It was always amazing to see how much crap that was washed away from even one can’s contents.
Other side note: Someone please fix the misspelling in the title of this thread because it’s driving me nuts!! Hahahahhaha

All fixed! Sorry about that!

Nice review DeadEye! It looks like your Redwolf likes them!

The new Banjamin 10.5g pellets are not "the same" as the brown boxed pellets. There are a bunch of changes that helped net out an improved BC and accuracy.

Can’t wait to try them. Just put a regulator in my Marauder. Shooting Crosman Premiers in the tin. They are pretty good but would like better. Never tried the boxed pellets, may have to.

Still just itching for the .22 cals to arrive. Soon? Orv.

We are close. Initial testing shows promise but they are not there yet.
