RWS superdome .25
kodiacks been out…so, for the last 3 months i been shooting beeman’s crow-magnums…then PA emailed me saying they are willing to replace the kodiacks i had on backorder for RWS super domes…both are nearly identical…the crow magnums i was shooting was extremely accurate up to 50 yards (loved it). now, that i finally gotten the RWS superdomes, i went to test it out and i cant believe it…i shot about 50 shots and they were all over the place i couldnt zero in my scope…im not sure if its my gun, because with the crow magnums i was fine…anyone else with the same problems? or is there something that i dont know??? pls help!!!!

Newbies be aware … .22 cal Superdomes are different design and shoot pretty good through a lot of guns. If ya got ’em, shoot ’em!
Went out with my T/T .25 Condor to site in with some of Jerry’s slugs and got them down nice with .5″ c/c at 50 yrds powerwheel 10. Then I got out some #3 buck shot (.25) to see how they print at 30 yrds with powerwheel 3. Well as you know they were high. Just for a lark I hooked over to the left and tossed three down at the 50 yrd target. Well thay did not hit the paper. What thay did was to go in on top of three of Mr J’s slugs in a clover pattern.
3- 9 rings 88.8gr pw 10 / 3-#3 buck shot 23.6 gr pw3 = same hole at 50 yrds!! nothing els was changed. Works for ME.

My .25 poly loves them also, but you have to sort them. 10% or so have weird mutations 😆
you know i just find out that they work great on my sumatra .25 but my condor hate them and i got like 5 tins because where the only available at PA
This may not be what you want, but it works for me 😆

You crack me up but dam your right who would do that? domed wadcutter????? not sure why myself. 😳
Am I blind or is that dome not centered? Looks like a wad cutter with a slightly off center dome. If so, no wonder they shoot like buck shot!

Yep lang total junk, now if they just got rid of the rim well at 31.6 grains well could be good.

Who designed that piece of shit? “Oh, I know, let’s put an air-brake around the rim of the pellet’s head!” 🙄
From left to right
Kodiak, Barracuda, Superdome
The superdomes have a ridge at the head of the pellet, I think that makes them sloppy
SAW
Just as I suspected. Thanks Saw.

I just micked the superdome .25 = skirt .253, head .2465
Kodiaks skirt .255 head .249

I do know they suck, it’s hard to measure thin lead

Just got email saying Jerrys slugs will ship out asap. Hopefully they will do much better or my neighbor should look out for the rifle instead of the pellets.
Wow I am glad I came across this. I hope its the pellets fault. I was using Superdomes today and almost through my rifle across the yard. no better than 6″ groups at thirty yards. As soon as I would get a relatively tight group which was seldom ,they would be all over again. I swear I could see them hooking in the air.

‘Cos the cheap gits found an old .25 mold in the store room and thought they would make a quick buck… Whats the betting they only ran off a few thousand tins as they know they will have no repeat customers for them… 🙄
