Hornandy No. 3 buckshot hardened ?
That sounds really cool. Do you know about how many grains one weighs?
One of the .25 Cal Copper coated balls weighs 22 grains. A Beeman Silver Jet arrow .25 weighs .24 grains. On my cheaper scale. On my reloading scale it will give me 22.something… I just haven’t broke it out.

Man you can buy 5 pounds? As long as it is round and consistant enough. I clean out my bore and I shot the .25 Copper coated balls through a RWS.48 but that rifle was harder to shoot ya know. My Condor will be smoother and I am sure it will group tighter.
I was also wondering too at times what number of lead shot would work with .17 Cal to load into the cheaper crosman BB guns? I would rather use led shot than BBs.

I got mine at Mac1: buy $100 worth and get Free Shipping. .22 Kodiaks

Now that is some cool information. I did not get my condor yet (backorder) but will order .25 barrel and try some buckshot

Those shoot OK, but Hornandy No. 3 buckshot hardened with antimony is awesome, it also has some kind of lubricated ultra-smooth coating and it is CHEAP! 5 lbs for the price of two tins!

I shoot those, fit tight, shoot right on most of the time, sometimes zoom over to the right, I like the grafite coating, I think it’s great stuff for new barrels.

I just bought some of those .25 cal Copper coated ball pellets from Germany at Pyramyd for about $12.00 or so for 200 in a tin. Then I bought from Straight shooters three tins of JSB Predator poly tip in .22 cal. The JSB’s weigh 16.8 grains and I had to turn up my Talon Tank up higher to plaster it compared to the Crosman CP’s. Notice the heat from the pellet as how the lead has a shine plaster in the brick. I haven’t clocked it yet but it felt like it was moving in the 850fps range. This would mean that a 16.8 Grain pellet would roughly be hitting at 17 to 19lbs at impact. A rough in the ball park figure. But enough. 8)

Then I shot it at paper and I had to move the elevation knob up a few clicks after the first shot. After three shots I was satisfied. In fact,that pellet on the brick fence was dead on a spot on the fence I was aiming at on a rest. A Bullseye.

can the ball pellets be fired though a rifled barrel like the condor? these looked interesting
