Some fit tight some fit loose and one droped through the barrel.When I picked it up it just felt different. I was wondering if any one has made a pellet sorter? It would be a chore to measure them one at a time. I did not open the other 3 tins yet. I wonder what the odds are that they will be from the same batch? My gun liked the last tin of these. _________________ Crosman Quest 800x- .22 Cal 800 FPS   Posted: Sun Dec 13, 2009 3:33 pm fritz Silver Status Member Joined: 25 Nov 2008 Posts: 2444 Location: New Jersey- outside of Philadelphia That's odd. All of the .22 CPH I have gotten are fairly consistent. You could try a sizing die, but that's not exactly "quick and easy". _________________ "I never set out to be wierd, it was always everyone else who called me it" -Frank Zappa Speed is impressive, accuracy is deadly.

I found my plastic circle drawing tenmpate. About half of them drop through a hole marked 5.19 mm. The rest hang at the skirt. _________________ Crosman Quest 800x- .22 Cal 800 FPS   Posted: Sun Dec 13, 2009 8:24 pm fritz Silver Status Member Joined: 25 Nov 2008 Posts: 2444 Location: New Jersey- outside of Philadelphia They should be closer to 5.5mm _________________ "I never set out to be wierd, it was always everyone else who called me it" -Frank Zappa Speed is impressive, accuracy is deadly.

Return them to where you got them and tell them the problem. It had to have been a bad batch. _________________ ` I'd say "I care." But I'd be lying.

Take 'em back. _________________ ¡Listo! ¡Apunte! ¡Fuego!   Posted: Mon Dec 14, 2009 10:54 pm rsterne Moderator Joined: 15 Jan 2008 Posts: 2998 Location: Coalmont, BC Or maybe the drafting template is designed to draw 5.19mm circles and is larger than that to allow for the width of the pencil lead.... Just a thought.... I've never had a problem with Crosman Hollow-Points.... now their Pointed pellets?.... that's another can of worms.... half of them will fall right through the barrel....
