Hi Bob,

I just received my very first .25 gun....
So, now I'm looking into projectiles.A .25 wadcutter sounds like a close range pesting dream.
The NOE mold webpage declares the "estimated BC" to be 0.0312, for a 22gr wadcutter.

Does that appear to be unusually high?

What do you think about wadcutter BC's, and NOE estimates of BC?
Cheers, Matthias

 Not sure about the BC, but I did shoot some out of my regulated bottle Jet1 in .25, 510 FPS and seem to be a good close range pesting / target option. Will shoot some for groups today may set up 2 cronies and get a BC for 10 m .

I've pretty much given up on this mold. My Bandit is the only gun I have that shoots it well. The 27 grain meplat hunter is a much better choice in my opinion. It's a great pellet that hits hard and shoots well in all my 25s.

Here is another 25 cal WC design, a 3-4 slit on the open end of the nose
would make a great short range pellet, imho.

I have that one too. It's a hammer and shoots better than the 22 grain wadcutter. It's more accurate shooting it as a hollow base instead of a hollow point, but that big meplat doesn't care. It smacks hard either way.

I call those the trash cans.

I keep waiting for the .25 hunter mag pellets.

are you insane..! you are going to jinx the NOE 25 wadds.. everybody knows that name is reserved for the old Crosman super pells cause that is where they belonged .

[Back_Roads]

 Maybe call them ashcans as the really kick pest in the ash

I am not Bob but yes that does sound about right... as an optimistic estimate.. and actual measured B.C. would probably be about .027 or so at about 700 fps and below...

look at it this way...  SD= M/D²

you are starting with a SD of .05 so even with the bad form factor of a wadcutter you end up not really bad on the bc...

here is some of Bobs testing from back in 2012... notice the BC of the most similar pellet... The Polymags...

 I was actually shooting Polymags alongside the NOE wc and saw similar performance, No crony work at range as my other one is left @ work.

What if we call them recycle bins? I'm pretty sure Al designed this mold for .25 acp. I size them down to .250 and recycle them for airgun use.

Being on the west coast and seeing they come in 2 cavity and up... was thinking of calling them the BB's...  BASH BROTHERS..

well you are not alone...had the same truck as your avatar pic... got it cheap cause had a frozen motor... Dropped a 383 and 8.8 ford rear into it...sold it to fund my more sedate 04 Stang...

I have plans to 4 link the rear with coil overs F/R then a spicy 5.3LS I wont be happy unless I have over 400hp at the tires.

[Nvreloader]

I call those 25 cal WC >FFP >Flying Fry Pans, as the act like that when they smack a Hosp/Starling > SPLAT..............LOL   and a big feathered rainbow is all that's left.
I would love to have a 22 cal in the same design.......... YMMV

[K.O.]

The only .25s I have are my Mrods one stock one with a 10lb hammer spring and mild porting...about 45 fpe and 60 fpe tunes...

Both send the only pellets I cast into bout .75" groups at about 45 yards... the NOE 34g Meplat Mags... and yep with the big meplat they hit HARD... have not seen a measured bc for them... estimated is .0465... now that seems really high...

I have a feeling that because of the longer skirt it will be down about .03... I think H&N claims .027 for the 6.5 grain lighter but similar .25 Cuda Hunters...

the rest of my molds are for Boolits and it will probably stay that way...

Think that is a very good idea... things got a bit squirrrrrrrly at times with the HP and the stockish suspension..
