    With 12 ft/lb!

    Im not going with his review alone, all the guys at airgunadvice, love these pellets, and they really know there stuff, also for them weighing 25% less than the barracuda, they are only 1 or 2 ft/lb less than the barra's, which means very efficient.

    I was at Milbro's 100 yard indoor range today, so if anybody in the UK wants to put long range airgun shooting to the test, it could be just the place. It would be nice to know if it's do-able or not.

    I just read in one of the airgun mags that Theoben are recommending these pellets. If they're recommending them, maybe that means they're selling them too?

    Interesting info there Lionel......naturally there'll be a 100% hike in profit if they're selling them AND frosty knickers will ask you why your wanting the big fat pellet

    Yep your right my tooting beck belly dancer how are you?

    Yes darren stocks them and has the barrel choked just right for these pellets,
    mine on the otherhand was choked diffrent thus prefering the barracuda.
    I have tried every .25 round ther is on the planet none come any where near the groups as the barracuda 31gr.48ftlb at 820fps these pellets fly perfect with such accuracy its a pleasure to shoot.

    I found the 31gr baracuda more stable in cross winds and a knock down ability thats awesome. The JSB 25gr is a nice round just like all JSB pellets, they fly faster then bis mag due to their weight and handel the speed but bis mags and barracuda love 820fps in .22 and .25.

    Yes they drop a mill dot but make no mistake they dont drop as alot of people think they do. Ive done some serious long rang hunts with this bad boy and it never ever stops bringing a smile to my face. I have a .22 FAC and i prefer the .25 over the .22 all day long.

    .25 in FAC format set up properly is an all and all out hunting rig.

    Get one lionel and forget about your pea-shooters that you have.
    come and taste the wild side of air rifle shooting

    As usual Costas your liking for the .25 shines through.
    What would be really helpful is a comparison between .25 FAC air and .22LR subsonic.
    I agree with Costas it is a fantastic round. I conclude that for those shooters either not able or not wanting to use rimfire, the .25 FAC air is the best alternative. However, you can buy a decent .22LR rifle for under £300 and the .25 air rifle costs a LOT more. You can buy an awful lot of subsonic ammo for the difference can't you?

    Hmmm - if I started flinging my belly round I'd cause traffic accidents, but I like the idea

    As for my pea shooters, you know very well I've owned a .25 Eliminator for a few years now and really like it. I've also got a 23 inch .25 Walther barrel lying around and plan to stick it on one of my Rapids for a laugh some day.

    By the way, is there any truth to the rumour that you're now sizing pieces of feta cheese to .25 but they're getting stuck in your magazine?
