This 50+ yard group thread has got me thinking about a new gun. It's a charector flaw. I know. For setting on the bench and shooting 100 yards which would you prefer and why. The 30cal shooting the 44 grain, or a 25cal shooting the 34 grain? I know it's a loaded unanswerable question.

It depends if you care about noise and cost. It also depends on how much you can spend.
In general I would rather buy a 25 cal air gun.
If I was just sitting on a bench punching paper at 100 yards (which is essentially plinking), I would probably want more shots per fill as I would go through a lot of air. Less expensive ammo wouldn't hurt either.
I find my 25's to be more than capable of grouping at 100 yards. The weight of some of the heavier 25 cal ammo is not that different from most 30 cal pellets.
Then again, I care (a lot) about noise and I hate having to fill my guns with air too often. People get great results at 100 yards with an FX boss, a 30 Bobcat or RAW 30 etc.

.30 Cal pellets have a reputation for being uneven. You are better off with a .25 if you ask me
