Guys ( and gals), I have been shooting 34gn pellets and slugs in my Crown (mk 1) since I got it, would the 25 give better results or just stick with what I have? I shoot 50 to 100 yards.
Optimum 25cal pellet

@Epinephrine I don’t think it would hurt to grab a small tin of 25 grain pellets to experiment with. Do you happen to have a chronograph? I think I have an idea on a more detailed answer, but I don’t own a Crown. I prefer to defer to members who own and shoot that gun to delve further into the topic.

Not sure about better results. The jsb 25.4 are known for great accuracy and the fx barrel system was designed to shoot jsb pellets. You m ay have to turn a few dials for supreme accuracy but you will be ok.

Should have stated that I changed liner to a superior slug liner, not the one for super heavy slugs.

Start shooting 3 shot groups until you get One hole. Adjust the hammer spring dial as you go .

@ 50 and @ 100 is very different, especially if you cannot skip the wind.
In general it is less frustrating shooting heavier pellets.
I am shooting at paper the same 34.9 grain MK2's out of my Impact MK2 @50 but mostly @100, and so far this year there was not a single day that I wasn't searching for just any heavier pellet, but no luck.

Even though I understand that the Crown was optimized around the JSB 25 grain pellet, they were never great in my Crown. I changed the barrel to a heavy (1 in 18") barrel to be able to shoot slugs, which it does very well, but it also shoots the 34 grain pellets extremely well. Those 34gr pellets are all I use now. The slugs are are too expensive and add no value below 100 yards.

This is kind of the same results I have found. Same point of impact and group size to 75 yards, slugs slightly better to 100, but not very much.

Hi you ever watch Teds Holder videos on barrel liners. He one video where he shoots a pretty good variety liners and groups. Not in my crown but an Impact the slug A seems to be best for the heavy 34 gr 25 caliber pellets. But only slightly better than the standard liner. I shoot the 36 NSA slugs in the standard original non liner Impact 600 mm barrel pretty good.
