16 grains pellet in .25 caliber any good ?

First, I'm not aware of a 16 grain pellet available for a .25, and second, WHY? If you want a 16 grain, a smaller form factor like a .22 or a heavy .177 would be much more appropriate and give better ballistics. In a .25, the drag and ability for the wind to blow it all over the place. Lastly, you buy a .25 for hitting power over a .22. That hitting power is lost with lighter weights.
So, accuracy loss, hitting power loss and probably stability loss.
But if there's a why that makes a 16 grain pellet work better for you, it'd be interesting to understand. Why are you considering a 16 grain? The reason might make all the difference in the world. My answer is based on my experience, and maybe I'm missing something?

I have a daystate huntsman regal .25 that loves the 16.54 gr gto. It will shoot dime size groups all day at 50 yards. It hits hard on pest. It has more to do with the speed and diameter of the pellet. Wind does effect it more than a heavy lead pellet. I started shooting lead free and I have the .25 huntsman so I tried gto and the h&n 19.91 greens. The greens shoot a little better at 50 yards than the gto"s. Just my experience. All you can do is try it and see.
Happy shooting!

Reason is that I hunt down here in Brazil for wood pigeons and doves , my .22 FX Crown went kaput for the 2nd time ( fx crown never again)and my FX Impact wich I use is set to.25 cal,now these following months there will be more doves that pigeons , and I only have the .25 Impact but my 33 grains jsb destroy doves beyond eating purposes...

I shot the 25cal JSB GTO pellets in my FX 500 and I used the same drop chart as my 18 gn pellet. Shot the same but did not hit as hard as the .lead pellet. Many fly offs.
