New lead free ammo from Crosman

[fenring]

These are two of the more interesting ones they are about to release. Lead free, dunno what it is though.
The Fireball looks very similar to Gamo's lead and steel ball Rocket.

Not much info around on these yet, and not on Crosman's site yet. The .177 Destroyer is said to be around 7.9 grains, so it must be similar to lead in density I guess.



There are also two others that are regular lead, a fairly standard looking wadcutter and a copy of the Crow magnum.

Love the look of the firebird whether or not it kills better I dont know but they look the part! I guess that is the important thing for air rifle pellet makers!!!

Yeah, they are a bit like fishing lures eh? Designed to catch the fisherman more than the fish, LOL.

I can see the copper ball in the fireball pellet punching holes areas that lead pellets usually would not, ie walls and roofing.

I will stick to the very accurate Beeman and JSB pellets.

i am interested in non lead alternatives, but think that the production of .20 will be the hardest to get going.

Will they shoot as well, generally, as what good lead pellets do? That's my main question.

only one way to find out isn't there.....
