Velocity vs Accuracy…
So I just slapped the 24″ .25 barrel in, and did some target shooting. I also took the chrony out for the first time since getting the .25 set up. PW on 4, Condor tank. Was shooting in the 970’s, 31gr, 2500 psi, grouping well. Since I’m thinking my delrin hammer is on the light side, I cranked the PW up to 10, doing a 1014 fps, for 70+ fpe, then I kept getting errors. Incredible power, (for me anyways) but my groups opened up to much for my tastes, PW back down on 4, and groups went back to normal.
Is there a velocity, generally speaking, where this pellets perform the best in these guns?

Mine will do this at 45 yards 5 shots and the Kodiaks are going 1035fps but it’s a AAA Condor and Tony A. had alot to do with that. At 20 yards it’s one big hole the size of a dime.
I heard about .22 kodiaks and keeping them around 950, just thought maybe with the .25’s being bigger and heavier, that they might be able to hold their trajectory a bit better at higher speeds, but it looks like there both about the same. Looks like maybe I could even set the PW below 4 to keep them where they should be. Thx
I concur, anything above 960fps on 24″ .25, groups start to widen…..

Bellow transonic.I believe that is right around 950 fps. I had my rifle shooting JSB’s at 1050, and though that it was ok because it was blow supersonic I couldn’t get better than 1″ groups at 20 yards. Set it back down to around 950, and it was all good.

That’s really good Photo, hopefully I’ll do groups like you did at 45 yrds, won’t know till I go to the rifle range. Here’s a 5 shot group I did the other day at 30 yrds, although not at your speeds. Wasn’t using crony here but was probably mid/high 9’s. (.25) Most groups at this distance I can cover with a dime or nickle. Like I said before, if I can keep inside a quarter @ 50 I’ll be happy, gotta get to the range to find out. Looks like Tony’s work really paid off for you to be so accurate at those speeds.
