If I need to shoot 25 grain pellets I will just step up to my .25 Veteran.

Will report back in a few days. Not sure what kind of velocity I’m going to have to crank up to…

There may be a little more room at the top. Only had a chance to do a little accuracy testing, which seemed promising. 2 drawbacks so far: definitely louder crack even with an LDC, and shot count is going down significantly.

II at 815-820. Definitely hotter than Dairyboy’s. Who knows why?!

I really haven’t had time to do much deliberate accuracy testing with it, but the Mk. II have been frustrating. They show some potential on one group, then scatter shots, etc., the next. I haven’t used them…Read more

If that isn’t a big issue for you, 16s would be a good all around compromise.

With a DECENT ldc, 16s at 890-900 should be pretty darn quiet.

The gun will be louder and so will the impact of those light pellets! I would think somewhere around 900-910 should tone it down quite a bit. You should be able to do that with the HST adjustment. (I use mine at around 880-890 with 18 grain pellets and it is wicked accurate.)

Only…Read more
