Looking at some single load trays on eBay for my Kratos to squeeze out all the accuracy possible. Does anyone have a recommendation as to which one? Seen some swing out and drop in versions.

I have a Cayden.... and IF your Kratos receiver is designed the same... the drop-in style "can" allow the pellet to slide rearward - into the action and jam things up IF you happen to raise the forend of the rifle before levering the ammo into the breech. Can only speculate on the swing-out model ...? but if there is no tension on the pellet, the same jamming could occur from raising the forend.
I used a single load tray made for a Kral rifle and re-fitted (filed it thinner) to fit the Cayden... it works - just need to be cautious when loading, not to allow pellet to slide rearward into the probe mechanism area. Hope this helps.

Thanks for that info. I'm probably going to order a barrel support band and a tray at the same time.I have a Cayden.... and IF your Kratos receiver is designed the same... the drop-in style "can" allow the pellet to slide rearward - into the action and jam things up IF you happen to raise the forend of the rifle before levering the ammo into the breech.

As an update, I got the trays that just slide in and are just ramped to the pellet holding area. Not a fan as 50% of the time the pellet turns backwards. Maybe I need to adjust my pellet placement procedure but so far not a fan. I'm probably going to order the swing out. Other than that it works perfect but I have to raise my head up to check the peelers orientation before closing the bolt pushing it into the chamber.

On Ebay there is a company called glowinglass that makes a swing out I have one that works pretty well.

Yeah I seen those. The ramp style works it's just aggravating to check each pellet to see if it's forward or not.

I bought two of them... the first one was in .22 cal and the bore size was too big and the pellets would not stay in the swing arm, I had to take my cayden apart to retrieve a pellet that got behind the cocking arm. Super frustrating! and a waste of time. hardheaded as I am, I decided to get one in .177 and drill the bore to the pellet head size, now the pellet fits snug and no more falling out and doubles as a pellet sizer. The mod was my frustration towards the product, and to show it can work if there is some interest in precession and quality control.
