Gamo Gr magnum vs gamo swarm magnum gen3i

Nice!
The only thing that'd let me down would be the accuracy, as for a Gamo rifle in a Magnum configuration, that's less powerful than the Hatsan 125/135 series, I'd expect it to boast more accuracy, but it doesn't for some reason, perhaps it has to be broken in and then it'll lose some velocity, but gain on the accuracy part. It shoots just like my Hatsan 125 did out of the boy, but with a little less power. My Hatsan 125 shot JSB Express pellets at 990 fps and COAL Wadcutters at 1020 fps, out of the box.
Speaking from my experience with the Hatsan 125 and making comparisons to what other folks have shown online in regard to Gamo Magnums...

Hmmm.. my gamos shoot near as good as my hw/r9 do..
Thing is the autoloaders can damage pellets during loading and cause flyers.
The latest gen 3i loader supposed to help resolve them loading issues vs the older gen

I haven’t done any accuracy test on them yet , this test was just velocity and penetration test ,
Next week I will do some 50 and 75 yards accuracy test

I assumed so... But then again, this guy had luck with his Gamo Magnum, which shot slugs very well, even at further distances.

Should handle that easy . Ive shoot my gamo to 100 and kept them in 2-4" using cphp. I got threads here on it.

if I could shoot slugs over 850 fps with of my gamo magnum I would use them but I don’t think
Mine does more than 680 or 700 fps with 21 gr slugs

With the lighter slugs coming out I figured my gamo may push'em fine. ( gas ramed)
Was it h&n one has that skirted 10.5 slug in .177 I'd think a strong Gamo would do good .. if they have a skirted or dished 14 +/- grain in slug .22. I'd try them . Should not fair any worse then a 14+/- grain pellet (???)
Biggest thing is most stuff ain't walk in Walmart and just buy them ..lol

I have hard time with my both gamo swarm magnum .22 and .177 cal when I’m using longer pellets , for some reason it doesn’t feed correctly, may be it’s only my rifle , any 14.3 gr for .22 and 7.4 gr for .177 lead pellets and the gamo alloy pellets works great with them

Even pcp guys say that about clip fit , but can shoot fine loading single shot . Just one of them things .. Gamo does have a " swarm" pellet

I end up getting gamo Gr magnum last moth for more pellet testing since it’s doesn’t need mag, but for .177 magnum i don’t know , I will probably change it to single shot eventually

I was looking at the newer swarm Magnum pro 3i . Seems just a more fancy stock (???).
For single shot I went whisper fusion mach 1 .22. If I was to do another id probably try the hunter extreme pro .22 . I prefer guns with sights on them over stranded to scope only models. I shoot irons a lot so I stick to them guns ..
