Thanks

Sounds good shrp, just trying to find a bit of info on this as I’m thinking of getting a 24″ .25 barrel with a Tony valve for my TSS. Now I’m wondering if a 18″ .25 with a improved valve would be good enough, I’m always juggling gun length vs power.
I don’t know about Riff but my experience with the .25 Kodiac is there is no reason to buy anything else. My accuracy, especially at longer ranges improved greatly with the .25 vs the .22 (both shooting Kodiacs). I just keep a good supply on hand and if just plinking or shooting inside 30 yds I buy #3 buckshot which works out to be the equivilant of about $3.00 a tin by quantity and shoots well in my gun.
Riff, it seems there isn’t as many decent options in pellet choice in .25, with that said, could you say the Kodiak .25 is as accurate and consistant as the .22 Kodiak? I’m thinking of going .25 but would be nice not to be restricted to just one brand or weight. If I find a pellet doesn’t work well in my gun, I don’t shoot them just to get rid of them, waste of time and air IMO. I’ll just give them to someone else to try.
A bit costly and time consuming to buy 3 to 4 different brands and styles to discover which one out performs the other.
Any input would be appreciated. 🙂
My reply was about .25 pellets. I prefer Kodiak over everything. Silver Bears if you know your targets will be close. Eunjins just dont quite cut the accuracy mustard for me.

For serious shooting KODIACS are the only one I shoot now (ordered 5 different kinds when I got my .25 bbl but could not get any of the others to shoot as well (wish JSB would make a .25).
For informal shooting, I get very good results with #3 (.250dia) buckshot out to about 35-40 yards. Very cheap too.
Anyone out there have a preferred .25cal pellet?

jsb exact, crosman pointed hunting work very good in my SS .22 actually, just got some kodiaks in and seem to be doing well although its windy today. think i need a longer barrel for the kodiaks cause they shoot around 750 but group good at 38 yards
16 grain JSB exact domed! The best for my tss cal. 22 🙂
Would have to be jsb’s in my .20 Talon. Just shot a sub 1.5″ 5 shot grouping @ 109m in ft position with a left to right cross wind 😯
This was on my 2nd try as i hit the stump with my first 5 shots ( was using the 6th dot on my leapers instead of the 5th one and shooting @ an x on a A5 paper. It was drawing a line @ that distance and i could only imagine what it would have been without wind (maybe 15mm)
I was too afraid to try it again, but man jsb’s rocks. Shooting them @ just over 900fps.
My friend “Boondock” was also there with his 50 or 60ft/lbs Condor shooting e.j’s , but he has had a bad day and could not seem to group well. He shot at a 5litre water can and that e.j’s blasted straight through it @ 120m.
.177 kodiaks beeman fts jsb exact heavies cp heavies rws supdomes all of them are awesome to 45 -55 yds cp heavies stay moving fast for a long time…. great bc…in .177 – .177 beeman silver bears are wicked atcloser range- crow magnums at 25 yds awesome. Beeman fts at 900 fps great…
personally i use eungins works great on 80 yard jackrabbits
Either Crosman Premiers or Benjamin Cylindrical (the new waisted versions in the black tin)…not enough difference in my guns to choose based on accuracy or trajectory, I just like the Cylindrical’s better (think of it as the classic 5mm pellet). Dial it down to 900-950 (PCP,,,make that 600fps with Co2) for either one.
They are very dirty pellets indeed. My method of cleaning them is using Super Clean degreaser or any automotive tire and wheel cleaner. They do a good job of removing all the lead dust and degreasing all the grease left from casting.
@spinj… You’re one of the few people I know that like the Crosman pointed or ‘Hunting/Field pellets. Most people have lousy luck with them, but they work quite well for me as well, including my Crosman 2250, and I can get them locally at the hardware store. They may even work better for me than CP’s… go figure. Pretty filthy pellets though, I usually clean them up a bit before I use them.

Looking back on mine, I’d probably have went with a 20″ bbl and shroud to match. Tony’s shrouds are amazingly light and mine is still very easy to shoot offhand, but just long in general for moving/carring around. I think about 4 inches less would be a world better in that respect.
If you are not going to shroud, Definitely get the 24″ bbl. Length is not a problem at all.
