Just got what looks like a full box of Premiers with a rifle I have just bought. I'm pretty sure there from the early /mid 90,s. Are they considered better than the new ones ? are they collectable given there age ? value ? obviously there a bit dull looking, what will revive them ?
Better to admit you walked through the wrong door than spend your life in the wrong room
The ones from back in the day die #2 I think we're changing hands for £60 a box but with the quality of pellets available these days they are just normal pellets.
Three full boxes of die no7 upstairs so I'm interested to see the outcome to this

I still have some tins in .22 plus nearly 5000 in .20, all bought in mid 90's
Custom BSA S10 .22 PAX Phoenix Mk 2 .22 Custom Titan Manitou .22 (JB BP) HW77 .22 FWB Sport Mk1 .22 Sharp Ace .22 Crossman 600 .22 Berretta 92 .20 Desert Eagle .177
Shoot 'em - they were good pellets back then....
They still are. I use them in AA s200, AA s400, AA s410, Daystate MK4, A LGU and HW97 and they perform pellet on pellet at all distances if I do my bit where as JSB and AA pellets give me flyers. I have used them for 25 years. Not all guns i have used like them mainly BSA were fussy, but heres a few more that do like them, all rapids I've owned most FXs do EV2s and FTP 900. I would send your three boxes to me as they will be rubbish in your guns.
Agreed !
I used them in my Rapids, Mk. 1 and 2 in the mid 90's and a little later. Can't remember the die now, maybe #2 but at be time they were very good pellets.
After a while I switched to .22 F & TT's partly due to expense and partly due to the fact my shooting Buddy used them in his R7 and they were just as good !
Use them I say !
“An airgun or two”………
Thanks chaps, I will give them a clean up and use them
This thread gets better.
I use exact express in my Ttr.
Second best marginally is the 7.9 prem, and I'm testing a known good set of Ftt I've had for years on the weekend...there's not much in it so far.
