.25 Pellet advice needed.

[les allam]

Hi Tim
The site sponsor J S Ramsbottom has the RWS hollow point in .25,they are 25 grain and 6.35 but I found them a easy fit in my pre 2013 Lightning. I got my H/P for £2 a tin on a special deal they had going at the time.They are doing them for £3.79 a tin at the moment.
May be worth a try at that price.

I have tried many .25 pellets albeit not in a BSA ….
I was strangely surprised by the 18.3gn Marksman pellets ….good out to 25m ….. I would give these a go …
and not too expensive if unsuitable

Many Thanks to all for your response. I had a tin of BSA Pylarm arrive today from Js Ramsbottoms but these too are very tight in the chamber.
Measuring the dome head of my old Rhino's they are a lot smaller than the modern 6.35mm ones. Might have to look at a sizing die as now have
three tins of pellets that are too big.

They'll be the 21.6gn, 6.3mm then

I've just got hold of a 6.2mm reamer to open out my .243 sizer a bit.

Keep us informed how it goes. If thats what we have to do to keep our old springers shooting then so be it.!!

Well slight technical F-up it's a straight shaft machine reamer, not a square drive hand reamer
Now got hand reamers on the way in both 6.2 & 6.25mm.
