[earlmarne]

idk if this is the right place to post this but ima go forit.less than a week now till my marauder is in stock,and i have a bunch of pellets ordered along with it.what i am wondering is,has anyone not gotten great groups out of the jsb kings?maybe some suggestions  on pellets?ive got a tin of kings and polymags and 2 tins of kodiaks which if i understand correctly r just baracudas.my rs2 and xl dont like them so im wonderin what others are experiencing in the marauder.should i just get a bunch of kings?seems like everyone has great luck with them.

Mine loves kings but I also have benjamin domed and pred. polymags. You might want to try the benjamin domes as some say they are more accurate in their guns than kings,so it probably would'nt hurt to have some. DO NOT BUY the pointed benjamin pellets for the .25 as I have heard nothing but bad about these. I tried the kings in mine first and I honestly do not believe it could be more accurate than what it is now. I have not tried my benjamin domes or pred. polymags as I am tickled to death with these kings. Just my $.002 worth hope it helps you out as I am sure your going to love that .25 Mrod

the package deal comes with the domes so i think i got 200 of those comin 2.what you are sayin seems on par with everything ive read.i thin ima get more kings for sure n maybe somore of the benji domes.i want some heavy huntin pellets but i think ill  wait bn that this is guna b mostly urban huntin till it warms up then i may get the heavier hammer spring n try out some eun jins.

 I have heard almost nothing but good about the JSB Exact Kings (25.4grn) as far as accuracy out of the .25 Marauder. The Benjamin Domed 27.8 are supposed to be a close second, with the Baracudas being right in there as well and packing a bigger punch.

 I have only shot the Benji Domed so far and they seem to be accurate, after a barrel cleaning in my .25 maraduer. I currently have some JSB Exact Kings on order and if they are more accurate, then I will switch to using them instead. I've chrony'd the Kings in my .25 and starting with a 3200 PSI fill I get around (24) shots with an average of 897 FPS (starts around 890 and peaks at 906 and back to 890) and end with around 2400 PSI in the reservior.

 I have never used the EunJins yet, but I will probably try them in the future when I order some pellets in the future. For right now, the pellets I have (JSB Exact Kings, Predator Polymags, Benji Domes and H & N Baracudas) will have to work for the hunting situations I may have.

 Those are not stock settings. I purchased my .25 M-Rod used and it had been adjusted before I purchased it. Since I purchased it for hunting I wanted the most power I could get from it without doing anything major to it. I've got it maxed out (stroke and spring) and have the Velocity Metering Screw about 5 1/4 turns from fully closed.  I have not done any other modifications other than a baked spring (which didn't seem to make much of a difference in mine) to the internals. If you max your stroke and hammer spring you should be able to get something similar and then adjust the metering screw to even out the curve.

Mike, I think Earl was asking about the .25 caliber M-Rod pellets, not the .22 cal ones.
