I bought primarily Points, and 2 tins of the Destroyers. The Points are far and away, the cleanest and shiniest Crosman pellets I've ever opened up. . . .

I applaud your honesty, Sir!

I sincerely hope they prove well for you!
I have several guns that shoot the Points
very favourably, and two that positively love them. I put many and several of each over the chrony, through
two pistols and a rifle this afternoon, and was surprised to see the Destroyers shoot a wee bit slower in all three guns. . . Still haven't searched the weight
on them, so not sure if that's it or not. . . . They do require more loadingfinesse in two of the guns; being slightly more finicky than a standard Wad. I'll test
accuracy more seriously next session, but I didn't experience any freaky wild fliers, like I've had in the pastwith some funky lead pills off of some island
nation(Philippines IIRC) I'd experimented with a while back. . . . .

You Lucky Bastage! Fortunately for me, only 2 tins were stuck, but my big CLocks weren't immediately accessible today, so I had to grip the bottoms in
a WorkMate, and "give it my all" with the lid. One yielded thusly, but the other only succumbed to being forcibly pried open with a screwdriver. Not at
all conducive to reclosing that tin. . . .
There's hope for you yet however; my experience was only 2 "locked" tins out of 30.
Are yours shiny and clean, with only an almost imperceptible speck or two, of residue in the bottom of the tin?
Thanks to Crosman, for what at least appears to be, a much nicer product than I purchased last time! Thanks to PA for the sale! And thanks to PD for the heads up!
