Bought a Taipan Vetran 25 caliber from a member here. I already have a Taipan Veteran long in 25 which I also bought several years ago from someone on this site also. It was getting lonely so. Had to get it. Anyway I've shot some pellets through it and I've been playing with slugs also. Really liking this as much as my vet long. I'm liking this slug thing other than the price of them. The buyer threw in a half tin of JSB KO 33.49 it likes them at 948 fps. I also tried NSA it didn't like those. I also tried javelin 2's , and avs slugs I think I could also get both these to shoot well also. But since I bought several tins of JSB KO's that's what I'm sticking with. I did end up cleaning the JSB KO's in the ultrasonic cleaning and slightly lubing with silicone. Don't think it improved accuracy. Hoping it cuts down on cleaning. Don't know why there's not more attention about this pcp. Oh it's the 700 from talon tunes the previous owner told me. Shot these pics and groups over several days as I was experimenting. The 80 yds was this evening.

I have a Vet II Std (177) shooting 10.4 JTS at 890 FPS like a "laser". 
The cocking lever is so smooth and the trigger is awesome.

Congrats! Good to hear about these beauties.
Can you give us a true max length of slugs in the magazine? Much appreciated

The magazine width is .479 inches. So I assume anything over that won't work in the magazine. I shot everything so far out of the magazine with no problems. Including nsa33.5, javelin gen2 32 grain, AVS 34 grains. I'm thinking about getting some 60 grain altaros. Don't know if those will fit in the magazine. I shoot all my groups from the magazine. No single loading for me.Congrats! Good to hear about these beauties.

Oh for those wondering this had the power hammer spring from talon tunes installed by previous owner when I bought it. According to talon tunes it adds 80-120 fps. The max fps I could get with the JSB KO 33.49 slugs was 998 fps.
