I See That The New Benjamin Pellets Are Available Here...

[hameditor]

They're in the Benjamin Airguns online store at .177 Cal Domed Match Pellet

Just spotted them. It's the first time I've seen them for sale.

I’d like to try them in my bench rest air gun, but I still have 6 tins of Air Arms pellets to blow through.

Shucks . . . 6 tins would last me a mere 6 weeks. The weather is finally nice and the days still long enough. A pleasure to be shooting. I splurged a couple of years ago and still have a couple of ammo cans full of pellets. I just hope the lead didn't all melt in this summer's heat. Keep shooting! Orv.

Like the crosman pellets in a benji tin are these just the crosman carbord box pellets in a benji tin as well ?

So a test review on crosman box or 10.5 tin vs benji tin is in order to see if it nothing but packaging hype and tin art involved .

Pretty much sums it up.. same pellets different tin art with inflated pricing

You could always try them out and if they work really well in your rifle you could aways sell the Air Arms to buy more Benjamin pellets.

short answer is No. Different

Long answer: They are not made from the same die. The only thing they share is the pellet shape. A lot has gone into developing these pellets. I spent years lifting the Benjamin brand and bring it back to it roots as a Premium Brand. I wanted to do that with pellets but i just didnt want to put a pellet in a Benjamin tin and call it a day. If it was going to be Benjamin it had to be better. Hence the results you see from Stephen's review. I use reloading ammo as an example. When it comes to accuracy its all about consistency and repeatability. Reloaders make their own ammo for that same reason. The control everything from the powder, primer, brass and bullets. Same concept applies to the approach we took on these pellets. We controlled the wire, the make up of the lead, the process and the variability by going to a single die. We looked at every step of the process from start to finish and defined what needed to be done to improve the end product. So although the Crosman brown box is a single die they went through a completely different process.

Phillip, thanks for the explanation. I am sure all HAM readers appreciate you taking the time to respond. So do I!

Hopefully it clears things up for some.

I bought two tins from Benjamin based on Stephen's review. I'll shoot them from my .177 Daystate Pulsar FT gun and see how they do. The excellent BC could be a game changer!

Mike, thanks. I look forward to your practical, "real world" findings.

We gave a tin to every shooter at the Pyramyd Air Cup last month and i heard one guy shot them and was really impressed with how well they shot. Changed pellets mid competition and did well with our pellets.

Well you never know. We will have a team going there to compete but I'm not sure if there will be a booth.

I’ve tested the new 10.5’s extensively and they are definitely NOT the same pellets.
Different look to them, cleaner, notably higher BC and much improved accuracy.

 

[Hoppalong Doc]

I look forward to ordering a few tins. It'll have to be 8 so that Pyramyd can give me 2 free. Good buy. Good shooting too, I hope. Made in the US of A. Orv.

Seeing is believing. I’m glad they are doing well for you. We will have more soon. I think they start packing more this week.
