I only shoot pellets through my .25 Cricket. But I think I want to try some slugs. Are there any stand-outs for the Cricket? Thanks in advance

most consistent slug through a .25 Cricket?

My carbine shoots the NSA 33.5s really well but the absolute best are varmint knockers in 32.8 grain...will do MOA at 100 at 920 fps!
FX hybrids seem to have promise too but need to do more testing if we ever get some decent weather up here!!!

If your gun is not capable of higher velocities or rather, not tuned, they probably won’t shoot too well. I have tried FX hybrids in my untuned .25 cricket. It was shooting 910 with 25.39 grains JSBs and I used the 26 grain FX hybrids. I turned the power adjustment screw as far up as it would go and got like 1 to 1.5 inch groups at 50yds. The further I turned it up the better it grouped but it was still a long way from the groups I got from the Diablos.
Just thought I would add my two bits.

Been having good luck with the NSA 33.5 at 900/910 out of my Wildcat3. Been shooting out to 100 with a little left to right groups. I plowed snow on my range to extend another 50 yards. But haven’t shot it yet. I don’t mind the cold temps, but the wind just won’t quit.

Consistency being key this is 24 shots (2 mags) at 50 yards with 29 grain nsa dbhp's out of my old powertuned cricket pushing them at 920 fps. 33.5grain NSA's were right behind these but not quite as tight of groups... hope this helps!

Couple quick questions as recently purchased used 25 cricket that I love. Who power tuned your cricket? Do you lube those 29 grain nsa’s? I think they would be awesome on squirrels! I currently shoot the 25 grain diablos at 940 fps but the 34 grain ones lumber around 860 fps.

Aloha Okie2,
Charlie Frear (Georgia Airguns) give him a call, let him know what you want and he will PT your cricket.

Charlie frear power tuned it, and no I shot those straight outta the box no lube surprisingly enough!
