Weight for weight at same power level if it shoots well and at same speed it wouldn't be fair to the guy shooting 25 cal for competition

- Thread starter Airgunmann
- Start date
As far as mk2 25 gr goes 22 cal jsb it seems to really be good with them I got a couple tins of 34 gr to try for stretching it out farther

Yeah, the .25 Heavy BC is slightly better than the .22 RD Monster. I don’t know anyone that shoots the .22 Beasts from their RW. Both me and everyone that has tried them get frequent flyers. The big advantage with .25 Heavy is consistency. I can’t remember the last time I got a flyer from one…

True. There have been a few that have shot them successfully in competition. But in both cases I know they were over 1000 fps, and a .22 RW HP can’t do that.

Most people can't get the .22 33.95 gr up to speed where there is a flat enough trajectory, certainly going to have more recoil and use more air trying so the marginal bc gain might be lost.

62 fpe on a .22 Cal….. Not many on the market !
My first PCP was an Evanix AR6. That one gives that power.
I will try the JSB 34 grain with that rifle!

I can open stuff up more to but I really don't feel like to much more modding to it be it shoots 25 gr redesigned pretty well lights out

. 22 or .25? The answer for YOU is what shooting YOU do.
For the record, .22 is my favorite caliber. That being said, I'll concede that the .25 does have some advantages.
Just ask yourself if the advantages of the .25 - at the range you shoot, in the conditions you shoot and the energy levels you (really) need justifies the cost of changing your airgun.
I shoot a lot so cost of ammo is a consideration. For me, the .22 fills all my needs nicely and if it's slightly inferior to the .25 then I'll work within those limitations.
On the other hand, if you have the cash and want to try the .25 I'd say go for it! You only live once.
Cheers!

Well I can get the 34 gr on power 11 with heliboard 20 shots average of about 920 fps without messing with any of the settings and a es of 20 which I can tighten up with adjustments. Which I'm surprised that's almost 64 ftlbs and on power 7 the 25 gr are doing 920 for 50 shots es of like 10 fps

Not sure my line of thinking is correct but to me it would seem the 25 cal would have porting more conducive to pushing a 34 gr pellet ?? Wouldn’t you get more power and speed from a 25 ?

All I'm trying to is use the 22 for longer birds I've contemplated swapping it over to 25 cal but that would be a barrel a probe and magazines just trying to talk myself out of it
