Really enjoyed this video from the UK shooting sub 12 ft/lb. .25 caliber. Thought I'd share.
I've ran a slow .25 for a lot of years in the form of a Career flinging a 33 grain domed pellet under 500 fps. I'd keep the unregulated air reservoir filled just enough to run the gun. It was very accurate like that and very effective on game the size of raccoons and smaller.
I've since acquired a Maverick .25 that fills the same role with a power wheel adjustment. Generally I'm shooting around 600 fps now with the power wheel set to 4. At that, there is no sight adjustment needed from the standard full power setting running over 900 fps. Holdovers mirror each other out to ranges you'd want to dial it up to 7.
