Steve'o Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 Trying out tin Crosman Accupells .22 in my AA TX200 HC Very tight fit and not that accurate at 30yrds using about 50 pellets Got and and decided to sort them and found out of the 450 left that 120 had an seam running from the top to bottom all around pellet. None were squashed,, This seems a lot of waste. Anybody else had this problem? Will stick to AA or JSB in future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewyjack.22 Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 (edited) I used accupells when i had my hw 90, i think its normal to have that seam running along them if i remember rightly, that is the design i may be wrong thou as it was a few years ago Edited April 23, 2006 by chewyjack.22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve'o Posted April 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 This seam looks like a thin 0.5mm - 0.75mm seam like the mould was dirty and did not seal tightly. rest of the pellets are clean Just tried in my HW35K they seem to fit ok in this. I used accupells when i had my hw 90, i think its normal to have that seam running along them if i remember rightly, that is the design i may be wrong thou as it was a few years ago More like a flange than a seam.

chewyjack.22 Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 As i said steve it was a while ago, if the rest of the pellets are clean then somethings wrong, shame thou they were great through my 90 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferret Master Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 (edited) Hi, The line down the side is normal in accupells. They work very well in my BSA Lightening. FM Edited April 23, 2006 by Ferret Master Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
will1992 Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 Iv never had any problems with accupells and i thinks its nothing to worry about Remeber different pellets suit different rifles,i think its worth trying different pellets.

Will :unsure: 120 pellets their not a diff size they have a large flang of swarf that i could cut off with a knife. the remaining pellet shoot ok and are accurate, i was just saying 120 deformed pellets is a lot of waste?

Hunter Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 I dont like/use Accupell anymore. They are a rip off, there quality is getting worse, and they are USA made. I use Logun Penetrators (veery expensive) but they are very consitantly made, and dont damage easily. They come in a protected box, wrapped in a small plastic pouch, and are clean and shiny with no swarf, barely a mould seam line, and they kill every time. Well done to the people that designed them. Im sure different models will come out to suit other guns in time.. but I find them to be the most efficiant hunting pellet I have used yet.. despite they do not fire well in certain guns.. I used to love Accupell untill I tried Webly Lazadome, and AA Diabolo field (though these are often easily damaged, or come damaged) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then airguns arnt really my thing, i just shoot rats with them not alot else, so i can tay ive tested accuracy at 50yards etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve'o Posted April 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2006 Trying out tin Crosman Accupells .22 in my AA TX200 HC Very tight fit and not that accurate at 30yrds using about 50 pellets Got and and decided to sort them and found out of the 450 left that 120 had an seam running from the top to bottom all around pellet. None were squashed,, This seems a lot of waste. Anybody else had this problem? Will stick to AA or JSB in future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just looked at the photograph and basically the quality control at manufacture as failed BADLEY ......I use these pellets at FAC powers and they are good and I reccomend you returning them and getting a replacement Tin .................You could end up regretting not giving them a second chance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewyjack.22 Posted April 30, 2006 Report Share Posted April 30, 2006 I agree, get them back to the shop a.s.a.p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il cacciatore Posted April 30, 2006 Report Share Posted April 30, 2006 Never seen anything of the like. Take them back, ask them for a refund and another tin for the inconvenience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killer rabbit (r1000) Posted April 30, 2006 Report Share Posted April 30, 2006 best thing to do would be to send them back to manufacturer, they will appreciate it! (it's always worked very well for me in the past & i usually get lots back by way of apology ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve'o Posted May 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 Sent email on Monday to Airgunsport AGS for help on tin of Accupells as could not find email address for Crosman No reply at present. Very wary about buying Accupell again at £6.99 and 120 scrap? Will stick to Air Arms or JSB EXACT may be 1 or 2 damaged in tin :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smsguitarist Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 very strange. I just got my first tin of Accupells and they have been excellent. the groupings are outstanding and their penetration. Also there isn't one deformed pellet in the tin. Got to be a bad batch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
