    They were re-branded a few years ago.

    I use .177 Accupels in my Steyr H5, single hole accuracy. When compared to a tin of 'original' ones there's no difference in accuracy.

    Correct, though the current Webley Accupells come lubricated which isn't something I recall seeing when my friend gave me a tin of Crosman Accupell in my teenage years. It's possible they did and I just never noticed.

    I tried some .22 in a HW35E many years ago and I was not overly impressed with them. I think they were lubricated as they made my fingers black after a while and felt greasy.

    Not exactly - Crossman used to make them, they no longer make them.

    They sold the kit to Webley / whoever manufactures under that brand now. The pellets are identical, just the name that changed.

    Edit: Since I'm fortunate enough to have an almost full tin of the originals in my collection, I would happily challenge anyone to tell the pellets apart.
    Even under a good loupe they're perfect matches right down to the mould seams.

    Not sure what the difference is between Accupels and Premier Ultra Magnum?... Both weigh in 14.3 grain, look identical and are priced the same.

    Either way the Premier Ultra Magnums work very well through my S200 and group as well at 50 yards as the excellent Mosquito Express which cost 40% more.
    Only difference is the thicker skirts can sometimes be a little stiffer to load - but accuracy seems unaffected.

    I would guess the Accupels would perform similarly...

    Crosman Premiers ,Webley Acupell

    Are in fact made in same Machines @ Crosman Inc. in the State of New York USofA . The Best Part the Tin's of 500 Premier's .22 are Now made from a Single Dye Machine like the Cardboard Box of 625 for .22 use to be. That's why There so Good in Tin's now. That Black $hit on your Hand's is Release Agent oil for the 3 piece Dye (the Guy running Pellet Machine told Me on the Crosman Factory Tour. The only thing They would'nt show Us was how Steel BB are made. BIG F'in SECRET.....Big Deal I guess how They Do It .....Franky
