moxy 617 Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 I've a tin of Crosman Premiers and they're the same pellet as Accupels. Crosman in the States make Accupels for Webley or whoever it is now and they are the same pellet! Maybe the case now. When the lead prices soared about 3 or so years ago and accupels and other imported pellets became like hens teeth we purchased 5000 premiers. I was sick to say the least. Crossmans became readily available whilst accupels remained elusive. They were not the same pellet. Perhaps they are now but I will continue to buy into the branding of accupels. Quote Link to post
AirgunGuy 362 Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 I'm sure the Rangemaster Li pellets are Crosman Premier/Accuple also!!! It's just like any other industry...same product re-branded. AA Fields and JSB Exact Diablo is another instance!!! Quote Link to post
moxy 617 Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 They may come out of the same press but I don't think the Finnish is just as good on the prems. I think that reflected in the price at the time. On average on a good day I would get maybe three fliers per mag. I'm not one to be tarting about weighing and washing. Especially through bulk amounts. When you can put your trust in a particular brand. Quote Link to post
Mawders 595 Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 My BBK mk3 in .22 loved AA Fields the most but a very close second was rws superfields which grouped nicely and were cheaper. The sad thing is AA fields are my go to pellet as over the past year I've not owned one rifle that doesn't group really well with them and I've gone through 5 rifles in that time! Crossman and accupell are not the same pellet! They may look similar and get made in the same factory but they are NOT the same pellet. 1 Quote Link to post
secretagentmole 1,701 Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 (edited) Mawders, they advertise the Crosman as "The most ACCUrate PELLet you can buy!". Get the idea? Edited to add the capital letters was ASI's copywriting, not mine! Edited March 17, 2013 by secretagentmole Quote Link to post

Made by the same people...in the same factory...look identical...weigh 14.3 grains...group the same and they're not the same pellet??? Quote Link to post
Robbie uk 24 Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 Anyone got any nice Super 10 piccies ? Quote Link to post
engraver 44 Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 My mate had his S10 blueprinted by JB and it came back saying Defiant were the most accurate in his barrel out to 50yrds with the targets to prove beating the jsb and aa fields. They are expensive like but the BSA is one of the few guns that likes em in my experience, but it dont half group with em and will no doubt do the damage good un proper when he gets round to getting some actual hunting instead of polishing lol.

I tried Defiant Ogives 5.52 in my S10 and i couldn't get them to group at all. Quote Link to post
Daniel13 0 Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 So are you all saying the super 10 is a gun I should seriously consider owning? I love the look but a few friends say they are unreliable. I just want one so bad Quote Link to post
