Here is a 7 shot group at 100 yards in .25 cal in 5-8 mph cross wind. The fliers are what they are. Center to center is about 1 1/4 inch.
Here is a 5 shot group at 40 yards.
Here is a 3 shot group at 40 yards.
Here is my set up to make these shots. Not too scientific or precise. However, my rifle shoots best right at 200 bar and 25.7 gr pellets – I weigh each one. One other note is that I have not cleaned my rifle since I got it back from Ernest months ago and over 500 shots. Velocity is 865-sh fps.
Will do GKU.
Hi FVA,
If possibly when your time permits, can you post what kind of accuracy you’re achieving at a 100 yards or less with Kings ?
I would appreciate that, not to many Cricket 25 cal owners post up there targets to compare.

I likely shouldn’t have said anything until after I shoot it across my chronograph to see if the numbers match with those given from WWAG.
They included a 10 shot string- 1192,1197,1116,1086,1100,1095,1101,1098,1090,1107.
The gun obviously isn’t broken in.
I’ve shot about 7 full magazines through it so far.
Yesterday and today are pretty lousy weather so it may be a day or two before I do so.
Update.
Shot my Cricket over my chronograph yesterday and the results did not jibe with the velocities given by WWAG.
I shot 10 shots over the chrono and the high 965, low 954.
Sorry for the rush to give out wrong numbers.
Accuracy is stellar FWIW.
There are new JSB King Heavies. Is Cricket .25 capable of sending them at least at 280 m/s?
I haven’t touched a thing.

What is the reg pressure, what is your hammer and spring stock or custom?
I heard that Ernest got his 25 cal to do Kings @ 1,025 fps with good accuracy, but IIRC he cut hafe the chock off the barrel ?

I just received it Wednesday and have had very little time to shoot it.
It came from WW with a nice 5 shot cluster at 30 yards and a 10 shot chrono string +/- a few fps of 1100 fps.
I will likely set her down a bit as the air consumption seems high but she is shooting HARD.
I’ll run her over my chrono later today and compare to WW’s #’s.
I did get my scope on, a quick sight in at 50 and picked a few starlings off in the 60 yard range with ease.
Feathers fly, that is for sure.
Saw enough from sight in at 50 that she is pretty accurate out of the box.
Not cork screwing.
What 5 shoot group size are you getting at a 100 yards ?
~ GKU
I just got one and it came shooting 25.4’s close to 1100 fps. accurately.
It doesn’t sound like your caliber restricted where you are.
I’d look at the 9 milli instead of trying to boost a 25 cal above 60 fpe with some degree of accuracy.
I shot my friends Cricket 9 milli and it kicks like a mule !! 
Love the gun but my pest controlling doesn’t need the extra fpe.
just my :2cents: for ya.
