.25 Benjamin Domed Pellets Vs Jsb Kings ??????

[drid 22]

I hear good things about both these pellets !! Any of you guys used either !

And Wat was your results ??

[ratbuster 808]

I use them both in my .25 FAC Stealth. Of all the pellets I have used, I always came back to the JSB Exact Kings. I say " used to come back " because the newer batches aren't as accurate as they use to be, sloppy quality control ? You could also try AA .25 (made by JSB) but closer tolerances in production.

 

The best performing .25 pellets in my rifle are JSB Exact Kings, AA, Benjamins and don't forget H&N Baracuda's, a lot depends on the power of the rifle, all these pellets perform best around the 850 / 900 fps mark. There's a lot to find on the Tube about these pellets, worth a look.

 

Give them a try and see what pellet performs best in your set-up.

 

Cheers

Have you tried the barracuda hunter extreme ????? thanks

[ratbuster 808]

Yes, they are H&N Baracuda's with a small cross section hollowpoint in their heads ( 28 grains compared to the 31 grains of the original Baracuda's in .25) , if you keep the distance under 40 meters they are ok, any thing further they lose their accuracy. They mushroom quite nicely...

 

I also have a non FAC .25 rifle (BSA Supersport) in which I use either 20 grains H&N FFT or 18 grains Milbro Rhino's, I really like that rifle, quite good at short range.

[drid 22]

thanks !! Apparently jsb are bringing out a 34 grain pellet in .25 !! Be interesting ?

[ratbuster 808]

Don't know, have a couple of different Korean made .25 pellets lying around which are quite heavy 40 grains plus, but you need a lot of energy to give them a proper velocity to make them accurate. Better stick to something around the 26 grains mark, this type of pellet (dome head) around the 900 / 950 fps mark works best.

 

What type of rifle are you using ?

[drid 22]

I got a mk1 rapid in .22 !! I hear so much good things in .25 I'm thinking of converting it !! Any advice for me ??

[ratbuster 808]

Yes, stick to that .22 Rapid and get yourself a spare barrel and probe / mag in .25 , best of both worlds

 

Can send you enough free samples of .25 ammo to find out what works best for you, but you first have to get that set up

[drid 22]

That is very nice of you thanks !! Wat is your .25 running at wit what PELLETS AND FPS ???

[ratbuster 808]

45 fpe with JSB Exacts (870 fps with 26 grains) and a bit more with Baracuda's (830 fps with 31 grains)

[drid 22]

At that power what is your first zero !!

And what is your ranges for clean kills??

thanks ☺

[ratbuster 808]

5 meters till meters, could stretch that out till 100, but I'm not that good using a Leica rangefinder with a target turret on the Zeiss scope, target Turret is calibrated from 5 till 105 meters

[drid 22]

No hold over or hold under !! Just aim dead on ?????

[ratbuster 808]

You have to measure the distance to the target (with the rangefinder) and then turn your target turret to the calibrated mark on the scope and it's dead on, rather simple when you have calibrated the scope (but that's a lot of work, but once done, its so easy, but you need a range finder)
