Crosman Premier Hollow Point .22 -Why is there no stock?

[Luis Leon]

The single die pellets in production are the Benjamin Match Grade pellets. They are single die and ship in the greenish/black tins with the Benjamin "B" on the tin top. Those are currently running on the pellet press. I was just shooting some of the 10.5gs last week.

Yes, the 7.9s CPHPs did change to the 7.6g Gamo design. I would have to assume the Benjmain HPs are going to be the same as the Gamo/New CPHPs. Not sure though.

Why the heck did Crosman take the production of the CPHPs one of their most popular pellets overseas…? Makes zero sense … Simply dumb and the tariffs will make it even more so… Crosman will never recover from this.. What an awful move on Crosmans part… After I deplete my current stock, which won’t be for a while. I will be simply done with Crosmans…Crosman use to mean American made… Too bad, so sad…

I will venture to say because crossman had no say in the matter since its not crosman pulling the strings any more. : (
and yes so sad. : (

Luis, Crosman didn’t choose to be manufactured elsewhere. They were sold by a holding company.

Understood… But, “Made in America” is the point, they simply become an imported brand. So zero loyalty to them going forward from me, as there are many other “imported” pellets choices out there.

every time I see 22 crosman pellets at my walmart I buy a few tins 6.95 for 500 , Walmart always carry's the 177 but when I see the 22 caliber I pick a few up, Just to let them know they are selling, I have never seen over two or three tins on the shelf,, And the ONLY guns that shoot the crosman 14,3 hollow point is my PP750----PP700--- and my Notos, I will slip in the Reximex pistol it does pretty good with the 22 crosmans , My veterans , Mutants, Vulcans, Prophets and Crickets HATE THE PELLET..... Just saying ....

They aren't gone though... he just told you they are still being made in NY, for now.

I stand corrected and happy about it. I just got an email that they are back in stock at PA!!!

the .177s are, but not the .22s...

 

[BenjeneerJohn]

We have made 177s, 22s and 25s. I have tested all of them for accuracy. I think the 22s are waiting to be packed. All of them will be shipping "soon". Sorry I don't have better information.

The CPHPs were an under sung pellet, very capable at practical airgun ranges, particularly for pesting… It’s ironic that now that they have been expatriated. That many have awoken to the virtues the pellets had all along… Made in America… Simply good stuff… alas the future of the new “imported” CPHPs TBD…

 

[mike56]

The new 22 hollow points do not way where they are made ???I only pay around 7.95 for a 500 tin of the 14.3 gran pellets as long as a fewv of my guns shoot these pellets well I will pick up a couple of packs every time i am in Walmart

 

[Chief 10-Beers]

Smart remark! But can you put me in the right direction to find any well performing pelletes for 8 dollars a tin (of 500!) in .22?
I'll wait...

I shoot the Norma's. $5.99 for 17.6gr Pellets per 250, I get way fewer fliers that I do with Crossman. so about .02 cents a shot? With the Buy 3 get the 4th free from Pyramid it's not too bad.

We liked these Norma pellets when we tested them. Norma Golden Trophy FT Heavy 17.6 Grain .22 Caliber Pellet Test Review

 

[Chief 10-Beers]

Yup. Your test is what prompted Me to try them! Didn't you also do a Test on the Apolo brand as well?

No, we've never tested Apolo pellets.

 

[Chief 10-Beers]

Ok I read an article yesterday about the Different Grades of their pellets and the names used per the 3 grades. I thought it was yours. I have yet to try any of those yet.

 

[PapaT]

HAM has an article about the Apollos, but not testing. I love the Norma 17.6gr pellets, they do well in my rifles. But... as for the Crosman pellets, there are a few testing videos out on YT now.

That is what I most likely read. I knew I had seen it someplace!

 

[MacGyver]

3 of my local spots to get pellets (walmart) are out of the .22's. I now buy whenever I go to a non local store if they have them.

 

[Chief 10-Beers]

I have a few unopened tins, of them and the 2 places that carried them here only had them once in a while, Wally world and Farm&Fleet. So I just ordered them online and have pretty much just using the NORMA's.

 

[Chief 10-Beers]

I just checked amazon, and they are gouging people. lol .22 CHP's are $16.95! Who would pay that? lol
