I was shooting JSB 25g @ a very consistent 860fps. It is a very effective combo!

Just curious on why you would shoot such a lite pellet., obviously does the job but just wondering. I've settled on a 31.2 NSA .2165 slug for my .22 Akela and Marauder, I've had good luck on shooting dead on out to 35 yds. never shot further yet. Goes thru 5/8 inch plywood at that distance and woodchucks also. Extremely accurate.
Good shooting

I didn't take the time to test any other pallets after I saw how well the 25g JSBs shoot. I like the trajectory with the 25g pellets at 860FPS and they are still hitting with 30FPE at 45 yards. I need to test some Crosman 27.9s and JSB 34g pellets.

Thanks for the heads up on the NSAs. What velocity are you pushing them at our of your Akela and Mrod?

I will have to get some NSAs to test in 22 and 25. I know my 457 Bulldog likes them!
 
To be honest I've never checked but they shoot pretty flat and I always aim dead on at least out to 35 yards. Can only hunt with 22 cal. on State land in Ct. Private land is basically anything but deer starts with 243
 
As with any gun the pellets can really make a difference in accuracy and that is what matters. I usually go through over 15 different types of pellets to find what the barrel likes. Of course, the speed of what your PCP is shooting has a huge effect on your accuracy as well so try to verry that as well for accuracy if needed. As long as the lighter pellets are making humane dispatches you don't need to change a thing. Happy shooting. E

What I have found is that the Crosman/Benjamin barrels are very forgiving no matter what I have put thru them but fine tuning is always good. Heavier bucks the wind better and slugs I have found to be the ultimate for accuracy. They also have the most configurations as far as weight and diameter to choose from. The heavier seem to like narrower. I shoot from .218 down to .2165 depending on the weight with no aiming issues to worry about.
Great shooting to all.
 
just come from a friends we where shooting a bit.
he got a new gunnar last week cleaned the barrel good with balistol he is shoot the .25 cal jsbs but i did not get the weight but i think he said they were 25.? grain, to the point we could not hit doda with that thing at 25 to 30 yards consitntly.
one shots hit the next is four inch high the next three or four inch low or to the left just all over?
i was shooting my benjamin 392 and shooting a nice group but this thing was all over the place.
any thoughts as to getting it shooting better?
also by the time he tossed on a scope and a bypod it weighs a ton :( is there a carbon bottle that can be put on it to replace the aluminium one?

The Gunnar is a little heavy.

As for accuracy, remove the barrel shroud and take a look at the barrel/ shroud spacer that is screws onto the end of the barrel. Measure the hole through the center. If it looks close to .250, remove it and open it up to between. 280 and .3125. That has helped a few people with accuracy issues. I had to do it with mine.

We don't offer a carbon fiber bottle for it.
