Others BHP22 pellets!

[Beanflip]

Just got these in from Walmart. Have not tried them yet but purchased in the hope that they are also “ new and improved”. I was surprised I hadn’t heard a sound about them.

 

[Beanflip]

By appearance only they appear identical.

Were they more expensive than the CPHPs? If so, I wonder what’s the difference? I hope it’s not just a rebrand. I understand why the single die are more money.

I’m kind of betting on the rebranding unfortunately. It would be great if we could get details from someone in “the know”. Oh and they were only slightly more. $12 something

In the know? You mean someone like @BenjeneerJohn ? I would like to know as well, it might be worth picking up a can or two if there is a difference.

I’ve been shooting those out of the pathfinder and like them much more than jsb

I was going order some of the single die soon but maybe give these a try first, what’s one tin from Wally-world, couldn’t hurt to try.

Ham did a review on these pellets back in January Benjamin Match Grade .22 Caliber 14.3 Grain Pellets Test Review - Hard Air Magazine

They may look same but they’re supposed to be better and have more consistency in head size, weight, they’re supposed to be cleaner and have less flash and a better BC than the other Crosman Premiers.
I haven’t tried them yet but I’ve read several comments that people are seeing good results with them.

It's one of those cases where it's a rebrand, but sometimes there's a performance difference.

I think what you see here is Benjamin/ volisity sports has just cost saved and put the run of the mill discovery HP pellets in the match grade tins .

Old discovery tin vs his newer look

Nope. These are not those reviewed.

That would be my assumption as well.

Nope. These are not those reviewed.

The plot thickens . I wonder if we’ll get an answer from one of those “in the know” individuals.
If we don’t, then I suppose we have an answer of some sort. It’s been my experience that what is not or can’t be said that has far more meaning.

Mediocre results so far. 25 yards. However 5 turns on the hammer spring looks worthy of further testing.

 

[Beanflip]

Uhg.

Basically theses pellets have been around for quite some time. These are not Single Die Match Grade pellets. Discovery series has been around since the Benjamin Discovery days. The packaging was just updated because we had to take off the Jim Shockey image from the card but went with the new Benjamin tin but swapped the colors on the display box to make sure no one confuses it with the new Single Die Match Grade pellets

Thank you for that explanation.

Can you comment on when the .25 match grade pellets will be available?

 

[Pguadalupe]

Hopefully soon. They were running them last week. Pending testing and inspections.

That is unfortunately exactly what the 14.3 crosman groups look like out of my S510 and the 7.9s out of my TX
