which will you choose hw-100 or condor?
which is more accurate?
which is give more shoot/fill?
which is give more power?
I ever own an condor but never tried hw-100
BTW,
Lee does not make and pellet mold at all, unless you starting with big bore. There tons of pellets made by different makers/vendors.
If you start with .177 cal, try the “JSB Diabolo Exact Heavy .177 Cal, 10.2 Grains, Domed” or “Crosman Premier Heavy .177 Cal, 10.5 Grains, Domed”
If you start with .22 cal, try the “JSB Match Diabolo Exact Jumbo Heavy .22 Cal, 18.1 Grains, Domed” or “JSB Match Diabolo Exact Jumbo Monster .22 Cal, 25.4 Grains, Domed” or “H&N Baracuda Match, .22 Cal, 21.14 Grains, Round Nose”
once you’re ready for the .25 cal, the best pellet that should well with my owned Condor is “H&N Baracuda .25 Cal, 31.02 Grains, Round Nose” or you can try some of Jerry’s slugs if your gun can handle it.
A few of us have tried bullet type loads without much success. H&N or JSB in .25 seem to be the best. Some get on ok with the EJs, but that seems limited. Or you can contact Jerry on here to get some really big stuff that DOES do well, up to about 76 grains I think 😎
Please keep in mind, you can easily swap barrel .177/.22 cal without additional parts require, but if you want to swap it with .25 cal, additional parts does require.
Heavier hammer/spring will require to handle the .25 cal. You can get these parts from Talon Tunes or someone here in the TAG can make it for you too.
more knowledge for me, because I think I just swap it to .25 without additional parts.
more question, sometimes people use cast bullet made by lee handloader, can I use this like firearms bullet? or still buy ready to use like h&n?
If you decided to go with the Condor, try to get the .22 cal hi-flo valve. That will make it easier for you to swap barrel later on.

You can’t swap barrel with the Marauder.
it is very difficult to buy .22 or .25 cal pellet here, I will save .22 and .25 just for hunting and for everyday practice I will use 177 cal.
I think condor or talon ss is my choice with full .24 inch .22 barrel(for hunting) and .12 inch .177 barrel (for practice)
If you wish to swap barrels, get the Talon or Condor.
You can’t swap barrel with the Marauder.
i think marauder is good for budget, not too expensive but can I swap the barrel to .177 or .22 and to .25 for easy?
and does the someone or factory sell the spare barrel?
thanks
Changing the barrel on the HW100 would be to downgrade the rifle’s potential, unless you changed it to a LW of a different length or caliber.
I agree with the above post. Get the Marauder .25 and play with it. Lots of power and modifications are less expensive.
Otherwise, quit dicking around and buy one of the Edguns for the same money either of these two would cost. There’s a standard, long and short Matador, in calibers .22 and .25. Plus the ultra-compact Leyla in .117 and .22. If one of those don’t meet your needs, then something is very wrong.
Regards and good luck with your decision…

Edgun is very compact and accurate gun (after seeing at youtube).
but the price is really high.

Silence lout!

Do you have Marauder stock? lmao
I got to agree with you having my Marauder a short time I cannot see what more you could ask for in a hunting pellet rifle? shoots great hits hard in .25 and is at the lower price end of about any pcp. I opened the box mounted a scope and sighted in before an hour was up your hammering squirrels!

Don’t know, I never own hw-100, so can’t compare them. Maybe someone else here can help.
