.25 Hades/AAA Condor

[lopey15]

Has anyone had any accuracy problems with the .25 Hades in an Airforce Condor? My condor shoots 1/2" groups all day long with JSB Kings/Air Arms 25.39 but opens up to 3" groups with the Hades. One thing that I have noticed is the diameter of the Hades is quite a bit smaller and fits loosely when I seat the pellet in the barrel. I've tried different settings/speeds and nothing seems to help. Just wondering if any one else has had accuracy problems like this...thanks!

I saw a post where someone said the hades tumble - are you getting clean punches, or do you see “keyholing” that may be a sign the pellet is doing weird gyroscopic professions or tumbling as it flies.

I haven’t noticed anything out of the ordinary with the holes...Right now it just seems like the barrel and pellet are just not compatible. Kinda sucks since now I have 2 1/2 tins of pellets that I will not use.

I only have one 25.... A pistol. Shoots hole in hole with the 25 kings, but hates the hades.

It's simply the "some guns love em, some hate em" dialogue. They shoot bench rest accurate out of my Royale. Figured they'd be a good hunting pellet but never expected the EXTREME accuracy. I doubt if anything is "wrong ", your gun just doesn't like them. 

P.S. if you can't use 'em I'll take them off your hands or trade some JSB Kings for them.
