Took out the Condor
for the first time. Boy, she’s loud like a rimfire. Brought the chrony with to see what she would do.
RWS Superdome 14.5 1180 fps… shot all over.
Beeman crow mags 18.1 1050 fps… grouped decent.
Overall pretty impressed. Will need to make a pellet purchase at PA, want the 32 grn and 28 grn.

That’s confusing, can you reword that? Did you use a Condor to deliver the predators to the target since you’ve “only shot the H&N’s from my Dianna 48 so far…”???
I have only shot the H&N’s from my Dianna 48 so far but they hit 5 inches higher than predators. Scoped her in for them and I think they will be her new pellet of choice.
I can hit the bottom of the can from 120 yard every time, my is .25 cal and shooting the H&N Heavy 31 grain. H&N made good pellets, I think it even better than the Kodiak, the sharp look similar too.
The only 2 pellets I am shooting today is JSB and H&N, both pellets does good job.
They are excellent! Have not had to chance to try them on my Condor on full power but at low power I am hitting the can @ 56 every time.

Didn’t someone say the H&N 21gr’s were good too?
Those two pellets your shooting and the speeds at which you are shooting them at want group well. But it does show you the power that can be had from the rifle…
I would get the Kodiacs, as mentioned. Always a good perfoming round for these guns. The weight of them and the design is key with these rifles.
The new JSB Monsters @ 25.4gr. shoots really well and the soft lead alloy they use really dumps all its energy on impact… Get some of these two dude.
The 28gr. EJ’s shoot well and you will like the weight of them as well, but I have gotten some really good shots so far from the new Monsters from JSB and they are getting to be one of the favorites over the EJ pellet.
Now far as the Pointed EJ, the heavier projectile they have, it don’t shoot for shit from my rifles and I have tried those in a number of rifles. They flat don’t shoot very well. I have yet to see any of the pointed pellets shoot so well from my rifles…
Now since you have some of the crow magnums tell you what is fun to shoot with these, since now you have the power to do so… Some guys will take a BB, I use .20 caliber solid round lead balls to get the extra weight over the .177’s…
I will take a dap of silicone and a tooth pick and put just a little in the crowmag pellet, where the hollow point cavity is. The tooth pick will help with not over doing the silicone here, but you do need enough to fill the hollow point. Then just set the pellets on there skirts as you get a line of these ready.
Then after a row or two, come back and sit the round balls on top and mash gently into the silicone and let them all dry just like that… These damn things shoot pretty damn good actually. Some guys have done this with super glue also, but I like the hold better of the silicone, if you have the time to wait for drying…
The ones done with steel BB’s I have never tried. I never liked the idea of the BB in the barrel of my rifles. I doubt really though if the BB would ever touch the riflings… You can make you up a few like this and try them out with the crowmag’s, that is the only thing I use my crowmags for is stacking solid rounds on top and shooting them…
Then don’t forget Jerry will have some new slugs in the .22 round coming soon if they shoot well. So follow along for those as well… Have fun above all things…
Give the JSBs a try to. (18.1g and 25.4g)
Try the Kodiak Heavy, it’s best for Condor.
