Ran into an old side-lever Korean that absolutely loves the 30 gr, cap and ball slugs from North American Arms. At $8/250 they are pellet price, and very consistent in both mass and size. Also OTO 2x the BC of the EJ pellets too...cheers,Douglas

Straight Shooters Airguns does a great job of testing different pellets in different guns.

(e.g. the 29 gr in the .22 gives 45 ft lbs vs. 35 ft lbs for the .25 using 35 gr pellets). That seems counter intuitive to me.What am I not understanding?thanks,Mark

Ok, I'm new to this, so please bear with me. Does that suggest that a 29gr pellet in the .25 would deliver more energy?Long and short of my questioning is whether I'm better off with the .22 vs .25. I was under the impression that higher caliber in this particular gun delivered more "power", all other things being equal. I'm also assuming that the .22 will be marginally quieter. Just getting back into air rifles since my teenage years and boy o boy have things changed.Thanks for considering my questions.Mark
Thank you both. That is very helpful. I'm not doing serious hunting and need to be somewhat backyard friendly, so a big bore doesn't make much sense for me...as attractive as they are.I like the flexibility described for .25 ammo so that might be the deciding factor. Thanks again,Mark
