Huben Huben GKI 22 caliber Pellets? any tight ones?

Is this only an issue with the 22? Wonder why they cut those chambers so large - makes no sense to make a cylinder that can't actually keep pellets in place. Glad I got the .25 -i have questioned that decision more than once because of the absurd price most folks charge for that extra .03" of lead but it seems i dodged a bullet there

Well I know of one 22 GK1 that seems ok, mine. Norma pellets fit ok. So do cast NOE BBT 22 cal slugs. No slipping. So a quality control issue?
If I had the problem, I'd slug the mag and the barrel and see what the measurements were. If they were off size, I'd contact the dealer for warranty repair. But I have tools to do the measurements already. If I didn't have them, I'd consider calling the dealer anyways. Standard, widely available pellet Ammo shouldn't fall out of the magazine or jam.

If Huben's Peanut slugs don't fit correctly then I'd say there's a problem with QA on the GK1 line. Have to think that the Peanuts were designed to fit the GK1 in 0.22 as that's how they are being sold. Something is clearly wrong with some of the GK1's. Not acceptable, especially at this price point. Not acceptable, even for $50 airguns.

Maybe a run has mags that are out of spec? I shot 3 mags of hades today without a jam. Mine does good with cphp too if I turn it down a little.

I got some AEA pellets and some 5.5 head size H&N pellets on order , I really have no way to size my magazine,
We will see how the pellets work with my gun and go from there, I'll just shoot my other GKI 25 and PP750,

Sending my gun back for repair, I don't expect warranty not sure if Huben has any, I just want it to shoot and load as good as my GKI in 25 caliber
all jam, H&N, JTS, AEA, and about five other off shoot brands, I will say the GTOs are the best but still jam..

you might ask kelly to swap the magazine to an older one.
I bought a v1 gk1, and absolutely loved how it shot slugs, so i ordered a 2024 k1 to go with it. the magazine on the k1 was too large and even .223 slugs fell through. I had been hoping the k1 mag would be similar to the gk1 mag in size, but it isn't. It seems this latest batch of .22 hubens all have oversized mags!

@airgunmike56 To add to to this, I just bought a .218 sized magazine from Kelly today, so contact him and ask him if he has any more any other sized magazines in stock. Currently mine shoot the 21.9gr AEA phenominally, the 25.39 redesigns, as well and the .223 VK 28.5gr like a champ at 40yds

Pellet gun 22 caliber, If I have a choice I like shooting lighter pellets, Tuned down for better shot count, I am not hunting , Maybe killing a few cans,
I am shooting the GTO in my 25 and the gun likes then and fit tight H&N Trophy 19gr fit tight, and a few others , The 25 is what made me release something is not right with the 22 GKI, I spent well over 400 dollars to past month on 22 caliber pellets looking for the right one, With the high cost of shipping I just buy 5 tins at a time , I am really stocked up on 22 pellets of all kinds ,
I sent the gun in and I am going to let Kelly work his magic on the GKI 22, With a open bill, The gun is worth it when its working anything like the GKI 25.
Kelly is kinda like the allstate guy, I am in good hands,

I know I've mentioned the heavier ammos but AEA have pellet skirt with a width of 5.7mm so wven if the head is .219 and is still too small the skirts will sit inside snug or tight. Even with the 15.89gr

22 AEA pellets do not work, I tried four different tins of 22 caliber, Loose as a goose and jam every third shot,,
