if walmart starts selling them i hope they make the cheapo alloy version destroyerEX. i like the expansion characteristics of them and it'll be fun to do another round of testing comparing the .22 versions. i have a feeling im going to be waiting a while to get some. i plan on ordering mine from pyramydAir and i bet theyll be sold out within an hour of releasing them on the 15th

Best I can do today, my other camera is at the office.....

Nice pic of tin. Now how about one of an actual pellet, please.

hey man, he said it was the best he could do today.

i'd rather wait and see a nice crisp closeup than a blurry piece of crap taken with a cellphone camera

What ever he used for the tin and target would do. Just what to know what shape they are.

Just ordered some from Crosman....I really like my Premiere hollow points but they seem to be a little inconsistent at times.  These destroyers are more expensive, that's for sure! Hope they are worth it.  I can get 500 of the hollow points at 1/3 the price of these bad boys.  That's figuring in having to ship them to me when I can get my hollow points at the local Wally Mart....

WHAT? S&H $30?

I had to check. I won't be ordering online from Crosman. They are $19.21 for one tin of 175ct.
I'll wait to get them from PA 3+1, depending on S&H from there. http://www.pyramydair.com/s/p/Crosman_Destroyer_Pellets_22_Cal_14_3_Grains_Pointed_Expanding_175ct/1023

QuoteI have definitely not found that to be the case.  If a gun doesn't like a pellet at 20m then it doesn't like it at 5m either. It may be more obvious at 20m than 5m, but it doesn't like the pellet at any distance.

I got 3 tins of the 175ct and it ran $22.50 for the pellets and $15.00 for shipping and handling.....wasn't thrilled with the extra cost but I couldn't do better anywhere else at this point so I figured WTF.  Even looked for any online Crosman promo codes but none available that worked...wanted to see if I could lower that total a bit. 

bradpsu

That PA deal is a good one...whenever they get back in stock.  Unless they charge a ridiculous price for shipping.
