Sorry to say but accuracy has nothing to do with caliber alone . Maybe if you specify why you ask your question we could help you further.

All 3 are very accurate.. like stated above. Need more info. Are you hunting? Target shooter?

Take yer pick. Gona come down to the actual gun, tune, and what you're shooting thru it... and how well you can shoot.
All are PLENTY capable

Anything with a regulator and a plenum, maybe 2 regulators like on the new guns like the Maverick and the new M3 Impact, for that final very fine tuning to get things just right.
IMO you generally have to think about what distance you will shoot at, and if thats long for any given caliber you probably want to shoot slugs.
So if you want to shoot slugs it come down to, do you want to shoot lighter slugs, or the heavy ones, if the heavy you need a updated liner for that, pellets & lighter slugs shoot fine from the ordinary STX or Superior liners as i understand it.
Personally i would not go all slugs at the moment as availability at any caliber is a bit iffy as i understand it, so i would preserve the option to have a little fun with pellets too.
No matter the barrel and ammo, if you shoot it wrong, it will not be good.

Personally I would say that the .25 is the easiest to get to shoot slugs well, if that makes sense.

They are all accurate. How accurate are you. Odds are any of them will be more accurate than you.

Here’s 28 shots with a Crown .30 out of the box, shooting the JSB 44.75 grain pellet at 100 yards, I can only imagine how good slugs might be after the right tune!

If you are talking longer distances (100 yds +) especially with any wind 30 cal all day long.

Yep that is a matter of physics . With heavier projectiles you can reach higher BC’s. Hence buck the wind better. But as always everything comes at a cost. .30 requires more air per shot and higher costs per shot in general. Always look at your needs first before deciding what caliber and rifle you buy.

I've tinkered with 25 cal & 22 cal. FX guns with 600mm & 700mm Superior & Superior Heavy barrels. I do not own a 30 cal. Speaking only slugs... Owning both 22 & 25, the 25cal is limited to what is available for slugs comparing to the 22 cal. If I had to choose between the 2, I favor the 22. Might need to buy a 30 cal barrel!
100 yds
50 yds 5 shot groups
