A trip down memory lane, the crosman premier is still regarded by some as the single most accurate pellet in existnace, the die 2 particularly are incredibly sought after and have accounted for numerous major competition wins in the history of field target. Sadly they barely get a mention in top flight competition nowdays
i test the crosman premier super magnum pellets in some really tough conditions. how do they perform nowdays? are they still the legendary pellet they once were? many people say the die 2 prems are the most powerful pellet ever to be made, others say they are the most accurate. lets see how the latest versions run through my air arms xti50. the xti50 is a flagship field target air rifle, where the crosmans really earnt their reputation as the best pellet in the world.
im curious where they are made now, im sure if they were made in the usa the tins would say made in the usa, not built in the usa? if anyone can confirm it,that would be great.
in the uk we also got a 7.9grain version sold as the webley accupel. it seems webley now rebrand h&n pellets as the current accupels.
they do say its not wise to meet your heros, this may just be a case of that. i certainly remember the hype of the premiers as a young lad. they were super rare to find especially in the die 2, unless you had contacts in the shops to supply you.
at short range they hit hard and have huge penetration but at range they are fairly inconsistant. i pretty much failed to hit any of the long range targets with them
if anyone has some original die 2 premiers, id love to give them a try!
