happyshooter Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 Hi Ian, i am a big fan of the .25 calibre i own a sub 12fpe bsa lightning .25 in fac a springer webley patriot.25 at 30fpe and a mk1 rapid.25 at 50fpe, i use the bsa for ratting , and the patriot and rapid for bunnies etc, Ian this calibre stops a tank the trauma damage to prey means instant death. In the rapid i use H&N Barracuda pellets at 31grain , the patriot uses H&N FTT pellets. the rapid shoots accurately to 75 yds+ instant knockdown power. no runners or twichers, i must admit i love this calibre i also own and shoot all the other calibres as well. Give it a go you will love it , if you need any help pls pm me always help fellow shooters. atb brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clubshot Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 I own a sub 12FP Skan Swift in .25 My original Rat Precharge Gun Real Stopper But found over the years other calibres can Stop Rat's just as Well - In the Sub 12FP Especially with the likes of a 21.00 Grain Piledriver in .177 Again like .20 - Round Selection is limited Not forgetting more weight more costs...........

RC45 Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 I love my HW80, everyone at the club likes to have a go, especially the kids. I would like an FAC .25, not sure how much choice there is though.. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
