Is it good to use the cotton cleaner pellets? If so, how often between shots, every couple hundred shots? Last, is ok to shoot the cleaner pellet through a moderator?

Use a patchworm and a straw to get you past the moderator. https://patchworm.com/product/patchworm-pfk-standard-length-rifle/
They make one for .177 as well but sold separately. Clean it when new then again when accuracy drops off .

Glad to help . Looking forward to reading your experience with your new Zelos .
Keep in mind that jumping around to different pellets or slugs will not give good results, in my experience. It can take anywhere from 5-20 rounds for mine to show good results and sometimes it's best just to clean before switching ammo . If I shoot .177 Hades in my Taipan it throws everything off for way too many rounds . So I just avoid them now . Even after cleaning it can take up to 15 rounds to season the barrel for the best results in my PCP's .

Hello Everyone. I finally got my air compressor this week. So let the testing begin. Need to respond to some thread questions first. Ammo wise, the AEA pellets from the Pellet shop where the center punch diabolo 29.5 and 33.9 grain. From a newbies perspective after inspecting, weighing and checking out packaging in my opinion the AEA tin and the pellets are the best out of what I purchased, which was H&N, JSB, ZAN and Apolo. If i had to give an order, overall it would be AEA, ZAN, H&N and JSB just based on packaging, pellet and slug quality and Tin material. Caliber .25.
Now to address some CHEAP comments, cheap gun, cheap scope and cheap ammo, HMMM so far nothing is cheap getting into this sport of PCP. And you know what, so far this $470 gun shoots consistently shoots 1/2"-3/4" groups at 50 yards and that's with 2 short sessions of testing. If the pellet is 28 to 33.9 grains it will group them consistently! So if someone can enjoy getting into a new style of shooting and save $2000 then more power to them.
Continuing on the cheap theme shooting golf balls at 50-100 yards is fun, interactive and CHEAP targets, tie a string or wire to a pole and drill hole through golf ball tie off, you get to shoot a slightly different distance and angle each time.
Hope to test more soon, since my CHEAP gun saved me $2000 I'll buy more pellets and a trip to the Bahama's!

Exactly been my point, if you NEED 1/4" groups at 50 yards you MUST spend the large bucks. However if 1/2-3/4" groups at 50 yards will work then your options are wide open with regard to the gun you buy.
Well done, sir.
Now let the fun begin, modification time is just around the corner...

Modifications are number 3, number 1 is guns, number 2 is accessories! We must accessorize. I enjoy full auto a lot, I'm also not the most patient person so loading magazines gets old quick, esp 21 round mags. I considered the larger mag, it takes longer yet to load up. I bought the Hatsan speedloader and 2 Addl. standard 21 round magazines. With practice the Hatsan speed loader is effective. Practice with a blanket in your lap and study the video, it really does work well but is quite figgity and unforgiving of error, hence the blanket. 4 magazines is just right, the speedloader reloads 4 magazines giving one 168 rounds on tap. Tho only enough onboard air for 4-5 magazines.

Was able to shoot some today, still shooting out of the box settings and the thing just shoots, it will make a ragged one hole group at 40 yards. But unfortunately started shooting with the moderator and it does not like it all. I have the Yokozuna and removed sections to lighten it up but that still was not enough. So gotta re-group on that. I think the weight and length are the issue for this type of shroud over barrel. But the the gun is not loud without it. I did test the H&N Baracuda Hunter Extreme 28.2 grain some today and they are really accurate at the factory setting on regulator 2000 psi. I have not tried adjusting the hammer spring screw any. Just having fun learning and amazed about how this thing shoots.
Also My Zelos at this out of the box setting shoots the ZAN MK2 26.5 grain slugs into a tight clover leaf at 40 yards consistently.
