Hi there
Been shooting the sfs snipe in .25
Currently doing 10.3
Is the power purposely set to this or simply this is the max that at .25 hw99s can do
Cheers

What pellets have you tried and how many ?

[barts101]

AA diablo
25.4 grns
About 1 tin gone through

I think h&n ftt are 20 grn they might up your power

Cheers mate
Will get some
The gun shoots tight groups, clover leaf at 30 yards easily.
Curious if this is the max power

When I had a sub 12 .25 cal I tested loads of pellets, I found that once you reached 22-23gns power started to drop away because there is just too much mass for the available power to accelerate effectively.

They look cheap & nasty but seriously try marksman they're only 18gns ish, I found them excellent .

The guys from Vermin Hunters
TV had one of these a while ago, in one their videos, and I am sure that the power was around 10.5 ft.lbs. They were using the H&N FTT at 19.9 grs.

Now has a top hat fitted.
Very consistent and still easy to cock.
