They are pretty neat to look at though. Now, when you get in the ~20fpe range you won't have much left over to admire...they just explode when they hit a trap. _________________ Philip RWS 350 .22 w/Leapers 4-16x50 Crossman 1377   Posted: Fri Apr 09, 2010 1:05 am kanyon Silver Status Member Joined: 09 Aug 2008 Posts: 1582 Location: New Zealand scroller99 wrote: yeah but a stock gun with stock co2 cylinder I thought it was pretty good I know my drozd wouldnt flatten a bb shoot as such BB...steel or lead are solid...pellets have hollow sections..   Posted: Fri Apr 09, 2010 2:54 pm ausher Member Joined: 28 Feb 2010 Posts: 96 Location: SWMO U.S.A. rsterne wrote: Pretty much any pellet will flatten out when shot at a steel plate.... Bob yep they sure do. How's the mushrooming on this pellet? It was a crosman premier hollowpoint. this is from shooting old co2 cartriges. _________________ so far a stock 2240 and a 2300kt with a 14.6" barrel, walnut grips, with mods from www.mountainaircustomairguns.com - power adjuster, modified valve, and an extended bolt probe. optical- leapers 30mm tactical dot sight   Posted: Sat Apr 10, 2010 6:06 pm scroller99 Veteran Member Joined: 03 Dec 2008 Posts: 272 Location: Hopewell Junction I just thought it was kinda neat, I really didn't want to get into how hard steel is. Honestly I just thought the pellets looked neat _________________ crosman2250 xt crosman 1077 crosman modded 2240 benji 392 drozd bumble bee   Posted: Sat Apr 10, 2010 6:11 pm fritz Silver Status Member Joined: 25 Nov 2008 Posts: 2442 Location: New Jersey- outside of Philadelphia I like to see pellets when they come out of critters _________________ "I never set out to be wierd, it was always everyone else who called me it" -Frank Zappa Speed is impressive, accuracy is deadly.

These are 10.5 grain Crosman Ultramags shot from a Crosman G1 at 100 yards (against steel). Even at that range they smoosh. _________________ ¡Listo! ¡Apunte! ¡Fuego!   Posted: Wed Apr 14, 2010 7:22 pm scroller99 Veteran Member Joined: 03 Dec 2008 Posts: 272 Location: Hopewell Junction Even at that distance they are really flat, Its also good to show what the flight of the pellet is and if it is hitting flat and not spinning. _________________ crosman2250 xt crosman 1077 crosman modded 2240 benji 392 drozd bumble bee   Posted: Wed Apr 14, 2010 7:52 pm fritz Silver Status Member Joined: 25 Nov 2008 Posts: 2442 Location: New Jersey- outside of Philadelphia They better be spinning... the pellet should not run out of centripetal force even at that distance. Which would mean they are not tumbling. _________________ "I never set out to be wierd, it was always everyone else who called me it" -Frank Zappa Speed is impressive, accuracy is deadly.

Which would mean they are not tumbling. You can also tell that they are slowing down and dropping quickly - look at the flattened head vs. what used to be the skirt. They're not hitting straight on, but rather are raining down from above on a diagonal. _________________ ¡Listo! ¡Apunte! ¡Fuego!   Posted: Sat Apr 17, 2010 9:30 am scroller99 Veteran Member Joined: 03 Dec 2008 Posts: 272 Location: Hopewell Junction This might be a foolish observation but the lead hardness would have a impact on the mushrooming of the pellet when it hits the target and the flight trajectory? _________________ crosman2250 xt crosman 1077 crosman modded 2240 benji 392 drozd bumble bee mushroom pellets     Air Gun Home Forum Index » Picture Gallery You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum All times are GMT - 5 Hours   Page 1 of 2   Goto page 1, 2  Next All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First  Select a forum Main Forums----------------AirGunHome Q&AGeneral Air Gun Questions and TopicsPicture GalleryTarget Shooting: Casual, Fun and CompetitionHunting, Pest Control, Varminting People/Events/Airgun Issue Discussion----------------Introduce YourselfThe BS TopicClubs/Events/Regional/Political Airgun Issues Maintenance, Modification and Reviews----------------RiflesPistolsAntique, Collector and Novelty AirgunsBB GunsPellets/AmmoOpticsAccessoriesAirgun Smithing Buy, Sell or Trade Forums----------------For SaleWant to Buy   Note: If you are seeing "Please enter your username and password to log in."
