Benjamin Marauder .22 cal

[pcponly]

So I did a power tune on my marauder to shoot more fps/fpe I'm currently using the h&n baracudas 21.14 gr

My question is these apolo heavier grain pellets slugs will they fit in the magazine please advise if someone one have tried them or know of them. Thank you

They should all fit. I have used 25 grain slugs and they fit in the magazine.

Do Marauders even shoot slugs well?

The slug rabbit hole is costly, especially if you have to try 10 different types only to find the gun might not like slugs. Research the forum for info on IS MARAUDER SLUG CAPABLE. It might save time, money & frustration. I THINK my Mrod had a choked barrel which frequently is a no go for slugs. Just my suggestion. Good luck.

What about these? After researching looks like marauder indeed don't like slugs

The factory chambering is throated for pellets only. It’s difficult to run slugs accurately because of this. Slugs are ran out of choked LW .22 all the time. This is where the odd ball .216-.218 sizes were born.

Thank you for this information

My gun has an aftermarket barrel. I put some h&n 30 gr slugs in the mag this morning they seemed to fit and cycle ok. Those pellets are too big. I just tried those this morning too. I always had good luck with jsb's anywhere from 18.13 gr to 25.39 gr in the stock barrels.

 

[Dairyboy]

Try the 20.83gr Light Monsters or AEA 21.9gr or JTS 22.07gr

 

[Gerry52]

For most .22's JSB, 18.13gr is a GREAT pellet to try. You might have to look no further. Those "Beasts" are probably too long & too heavy.

The Beasts won't fit the magazine, but can be single loaded. The issue you will have is that they are too heavy to shoot at any decent speed without power modifications - like higher flow valves and bigger porting. Power tunes in the Marauder are simply not enough for a pellet this heavy.

34 grain .25's .... IMO .. The Marauder in no way ( In stock form ) has the juice to shoot this weight effectively outside perhaps sub 50y distances.
These do really well if you can get them 880 to 940 fps .... my guess in a stock M-rod doubtful in making mid 700's / 800 fps or so

Great pellet tho as is the *JTS 33.8 weight (* my personal choice in a heavy .25 }

Alright finally got to do a chronograph test with the .22 marauder with the 21.14 h&n cudas..i would say its pretty impressive to get 42 fpe! Out of that little rifle.

Just an fyi, most, just about all, pointed pellets do not shoot as well as domed pellets. They are just eye candy to people who don't know better yet. The only notable exception is probably the Predator Polymags. Stay away from anything else with a point unless you see proof that they are worth something. I have never heard of a pointed pellet winning any matches recently, if ever.
