What does it take to shoot 43.2 gr Eun Jun pellets ?
I have a new 25 caliber Condor on order. What does it take to shoot 43.2 gr Eun Jun pellets reasonably accurately?
By that I mean, while maintaining at least 25-50 yd quarter (or smaller) size groups. I know this topic looks very similar to this other topic (Condor – Minimum gr hammer weight for 42.8 gr Eun Jun pellet) , but this topic just is particular to the whole package to shoot 43.2 gr Eun Juns.
So, at a minimum, what needs changed ?
Hammer weight ?
Main spring pressure ?
Valve porting ?
Valve polishing ?
Tank regulator ?
Frame strengthening (tri-rail) ?

😳 I’m willing to be realistic. Let’s take this approach.
What is the minimum mix to take coyotes at 50 yds ?
I’ll take the gun for what it’s worth at that point and work over the smaller pests.
The problem is that you want two totally different tunes in one gun. Or, you want to have pellets just blow through birds at 10 yards like they hadn’t even been there! 🙂
A stock Condor in .22 or even a Talon in .177 is plenty for #2. A .25 Condor ought to be tuned at least for accuracy for #1 and having some extra power to drive heavy pellets or slugs clear through the chest of a yote makes sense to me.
I don’t know if the powerwheel has enough authority to move between those two tunes. I’m sure you can go with big power and find a scope setting that works in close with Eun Jins (assuming they shoot accurately) and if you don’t have a problem with the extra power and noise for plinking and small pests, that’s fine. It will work, you just won’t have an optimum tune for the short range stuff. Assuming shot count is not an issue, you may be delighted with a full power tune.
I think you should just be wary that one gun can’t do it all…at least not all at once. It’s like buying a Vette and thinking there’s a “econ” button on the dash that will let you switch that V8 into Prius economy mode…
Hi Jerry – I have mostly figured what I want to do with the new 25 cal Condor and that is
1. Coyotes at 50 yds
2. Garden pests (fur and feather) at 10 to 25 yds
Number 1. is the priority with enough flexibility to do Number 2.
Tell me how to achieve that. I’m all ears. 😀
Yeah, you should really get your gun figured out and working as well as possible with the less expensive Eun Jins before moving to the Varsity squad and shooting the heavy slugs! 😆
Seriously, get a bunch of shots through the stock gun to learn how to shoot it (best hold, where it wants the bi-pod, etc.). Then start cranking up the power and doing mods if you think you need to. Then, if you need more power than the stock gun can give, get a valve mod and go for the heavies.
Thanks for the input – I’m hoping 95 gr hammer will be enough and since I understand to not go 43.2 but go with 35.8 gr then that is less upgrading needed.
43.2 gr is the largest large manufacturer pellet I know of, other then going to the 5-7-9 ring Jerry Slugs.
Be advised that these pellets are notorious for poor accuracy. athe 38 grain ones shoot far better.
I could never get the 43 grainer to shoot well.

Up the hammer weight and then up the fill pressure. Play around with that and the pw settings and see what you get. Need anymore then start looking into porting the valve etc.

There you go! Now it gets tricky because I have no idea what the minimum is for yotes… OK, I have my own damn opinion but you can find 10 guys to disagree before I can type it!
This is where I’m going to let you get better advice from the guys here who have shot yotes with airguns or have experience shooting them with anything else. No matter what my opinion is or who I agree with, there will be the thought that I’m trying to sell slugs not give decent advice. Given that I’ve never shot a yote, I’m going to let the guys who have start providing the answer to what you need.
