Q:

.22 cal vs .25 cal

Hi all,
Nubie here. Want to first say what a great forum. This site definitely made up my mind to get a condor. There is a lot of good info here.

But I could not find much on regarding the difference between calibers. I am particularly interested in the pros and cons of .22 cal vs .25 cal. I understand that there is more ammo selection for .22 cal. Also that the .25 is heavier by nature, there for more energy downrange giving a bigger punch.

If I over looked a previous post please give link. No need to do rework.

If this helps: I will be using the gun to shoot squirrels. They are used to being shot at by .22lr. They spook at 100yds so I need accuracy at +100yds. I also want to do long range target shooting in the same rang. I have the green light to take care of pest on the vineyard property we are on and the size of the pest can go up.

Sorry for so long of a post.

Cheers

The difference is about .03 inch. Generally, with .22 it’ll be faster therefore flatter trajectory. .25 will generally carry energy further. Differences are basically dependant on tune and pellet variances.

Thanks for the info. I guess I will talk to Tony. But what is the difference between .22 and .25. Now I am just curious.

Thanks again.

Oh yeah Tony for sure.

Welcome to the site also.

Shooters say the Condor should come in .25 because that is were it excells

You need to talk to Tony about a .25 barrel.

Welcome to our nut house 😛
