Pellets for hatsan flash .25

I just ordered myself a hatsan flash .25. It's my first pcp air rifle and I'm looking at the wide variety of .25 caliber pellets. I'm finding pellets that range 20 grains to 60 grains. My main question is are all these types of pellets safe to shoot out of this gun? Not as concerned with accuracy as I'm not planning on doing any competition sniping. I just want something that won't ruin the gun. Over time I can figure which pellet suits my use. For now I'm more interested in the high grain hollow points to smash some targets.

Make sure when your closing the bolt, be very deliberate, it's common to wear out the notch that locks the bolt in place. You can fix it with a dremel or small file.
 
Thanks for the respones. Anyone try the 69 grain pellets? Would they do any damage to the gun?
I have learned that pellets way off from “normal” weights and type like massive gaping hollow points don’t fly well. That heavy of a pellet might be too long to fit in the magazine and jam up the gun. Besides they are going to be really slow. I just got a AT44 in .25 and it loves H&N 20gr up close in stock tune. I was shooting them just to season the bbl after a deep cleaning and was surprised at how well the grouped pushed around 900 FPS. The 5.5 gr heavier Kings are supposed to be at least 840 so these should be close to 900. Will chrony later. Then I got to thinking that the lightly constructed pellet might deform on squirrels at that velocity and act like hollow points. We shall see!
