suggestions on ammo for a .25 condor
I’ve been playing with Eun Jin in a 43.3 grain primarily because I had heard that they were great for the Airforce condor but I want to hear what’s some others to try oh I also have predator polymags as well as gamo rockets any others that I should try or stay away from?

In my Condor I’ve tried about every popular readily available pellet in my .25. CONSISTENT accuracy out to 100 yards has been the JSB’s. I’ve had some really good groups with Benji domes and Kodiaks but not as CONISITENT. 😎
I hate to miss. It just pisses me off 😆
Don’t take this wrong, but now do what I did and just darn near everyone else here has done and that is, get a tin of all of the popular pellets and fine the one best for your gun.
Also the other thing that is so often over looked when finding the “best” pellet is speed. Test all your pellets at a speed around 800fps to start with. Pick the most accurate at your desired shooting distance(s) at this speed.
Now you can go back and bump up the speed a little at a time to the point the groups start to open up at your desired distance and back it down just a little.
Case in point; it was suggested I start my gun shooting the JSB’s around 950 – 975 as this was a speed a fellow shooter was finding his gun stacked them at 50 yards. Mine was giving me up to 2″ groups at those speeds. No stacks. i found if i slowed them down, the groups tightened up. Mine likes them around 920.
FWIW it took me shooting about 1000 pellets to achieve my results. ❗
Hope this helps and good luck.
Ammo known to perform well in .25 caliber in no particular order:
JSB Kings
H&N Barracudas (Beeman Kodiaks are the same pellet)
Benjiman Domed
Jerrys slugs, 6 and 7 rings.
I did not include an hand-cast slugs because they are not easily bought and must be cast and sized to fit your barrel.
Ammo known to be bad to acceptable. (My experiences anyway)
RWS. all
Beemans other than Kodiaks. Silver Bears and CrowMagnum work ok for some shooters. Try at your own risk.
Eun-Jins. They are on the bad list for every barrel I currently own. They shoot well for some shooters.
Check out h&n barracuda, surefire slugs get the 6 rings, and check out this site http://www.hunters-supply.com/shop/index.php?cPath=27&osCsid=13f07431eb90777b9a8d0fac3630c4f6

+1 on the JSB’s, and Benji domes. I have not yet had a chance to try Jerry’s slugs, but they are on the list as soon as I get my heavy hammer in.
