I want to try and shoot a hog but i wanted to see what pellets were good, accurate and a little heavy.
Best Pellet For Bigger game with Marauder .25

If your Marauder is dead stock, the best pellet is the 25.4 grainers. You can increase the diameter of the transfer port, and install a TSS, and get about 900 FPS out of the 34 grainers.
I've taken a couple of pigs with my .25 Marauder, but it is bottled and regulated. I can spit out the 34 grainers at almost 950 FPS, which is what it takes to do clean kills out to about 40 yards on pigs.

What size pig? As long as you can put it, guaranteed, in a dime, you should be ok with a smallish pig. Put it right behind the ear, quartering away from you. Or, dead center between the eyebrows as it has its head down. Some have even done it with springers in .22.

If memory serves me right, Manny Nomadic Pirate mentioned the .25 Benjamin 27 grainers they are harder than the JSB's and offer better penetration. That was before the 34 grain JSB's were available. He's got a video up with a .177 taking one. Shot placement, patience, and he's the man.
