    I chrono'd them in my Supersport and they where doing 549fps which comes out at about 10.9ftp but lead Air Arms .25 are doing 445fps but are doing 11.1ftp, so interesting results, not done an accuracy test yet.

    Well it's a Supersport with Lightning barrel fitted.

    When you say "is your barrel a tight fit"?

    Do you mean are the pellets tight in the barrel?

    Yes mate.
    Some of the Bsa barrels in. 25 can be a tight fit for the pellets.
    My lightning is OK with the milbro pellets, but I use a pellet sizer for the Hn ftt pellets.

    Luckily my Lightning barrel is fine and I can use any .25 pellets (No problems with normally tight German pellets) but the first Lightning .25 barrel I got was so tight I struggled to get .243 pellets in it, even after being sized (but I did buy it cheap from John Knibbs so was probably rejected by BSA quality control).

    They are hard to load into the barrel, shame really well not really not many in the tin and way more expensive than the ffts

    They should have come out with RS type or express but in .25

    I agree, you get 350 pellets with the AA .25's for about the same money, I only bought these to see what they will be like because of their lighter weight, I'm not worried about them being lead free, hopefully if I get time tomorrow I'll see how their accuracy is.
