    Brocock/BRK My experience with first PCP

    I have the same gun and love it! I tried JSB dome 18.13 and 15.89, H&N 18.13, JSB Hades 15.89, and CPHP 14.3 pellets. It does the best with the 18 gr pellets. But the Crosman 14.3 is really good even at the highest setting (912 FPS), so it is the pellet I use for this gun. It is $7 a tin at...

    .177 is much less messy but the chipper is equally dead

    .22 is more than enough! In fact I normally use 177 at about 19 FPE for chipmunks.

    Obviously an overkill with a .25 at near 50 FPE.

    .22 CPHPs, Sweet Plinking and Pesting Goodness…

    None of my FX guns likes CPHP pellets. I have tried 320mm, 500 and 600mm barrels. They perform well enough at slower speeds in 570 FPS range for pesting at close distances within 40 yards. A few chipmunks found out the hard way that 10 ft-lbs is actually lethal. I now use CPHP exclusively on my...

    .22 CPHPs, Sweet Plinking and Pesting Goodness…

    My BRK Sahara .22 likes this pellet! I have used this winning combination to kill quite a few pests!

    .22 CPHPs, Sweet Plinking and Pesting Goodness…

    I thought they were the same price nationwide at Walmart. It is 6.99 where I live but many stores don't have CPHP in .22. The price one year ago was 6.24. So they did raise the price. At $7, it's the best pellet deal if your gun likes this pellet. Unfortunately for me, only one gun likes this...

    This Starling Really Messed Up My Yard

    I had squirrels nesting in my attic and squirrels/chipmunks chewing in my car engine well. They are pests to be eliminated. Starlings are one of 3 birds to be legally killed any time of the year almost in all states.

    Edgun 177 pellets (crazy)

    Made by JSB as claimed by the brand. See attached screenshots.

    The Pathfinder XR

    Yes, that makes the Pathfinder ideal for many of us. The pursuit of high power is wonderful but I find 90% or more of my shooting don't require anything near 25 FPE. Just because I can and it is safe, my .22 guns are set to be 22 to 31 FPE. If I were considering a Pathfinder, I'd be happy to...

    The Pathfinder XR

    Totally agree! I have the Sniper XR in .22, which I believe has the same action just different stock and barrel, and enjoy it very much. It actually can shoot Crosman HP very well. I would buy the Pathfinder if I don't already have a couple short FX guns.
