I looked on the Theoben web site and some guns ie SLR98 is recomended shooting premeirs..

Presumably they tried to sell you Premiers instead? Look at the price difference between Prems and Accupels - there's your answer...

Have just picked up this string.
When I bought my Rapid 2 FAC in 2001, it came with a warning label from Theoben not the dealer- saying, and I quote:
'WARNING Do not use Crosman Accupel. These pellets are causing many problems in some batches. Use H & N Trophy.'

I am reading directly from the label which came with my rifle. It is an accurate quote including the mis-spelling of Accupel (should be Accupell)
As I use BisMags or AA Fields I didn't enquire any further at the time.
Hope that helps.

I should add to my above post that the label referred to a .22 Rapid so I am not helping at all am I?
Going back to sleep now.

I hope Theoben or Bengarzy pick up this thread. I'd like to know why Accupells have been singled out as bad to use in Theoben guns and not say, Milbro Caledonian?

The Crossmans of both types caused major problems when I owned Theoben, the problem was caused by a variation in the lead alloy (to much antimony) and this caused serious leading in the rifleing which was a factory job to remove or the barrel could be damaged if not.
Regardless of weather these pellets are good now or not it took so long to correct (no recall) we actively discouraged their use and this still continues today as most of the people involved in all the warranty work are still their.
