Note that they are offering a pack in .249 or .25. What would be the best for an Avenger? Is there a better deal to be had somewhere else?

you should try H&N baracuda 30gr pellets.
they were awesome in my .25 avenger.

I found this sampler:

HatsanUSAH&N Slug HP Sampler .25 Caliber

This HP Slug Sampler comes with 5 weights which each give you additional range without giving up power or precision. They keep more of their energy until impact and have a high ballistic coefficien…

but it's available in .2495 or .2505. ??? This is very confusing ....

I'm curious what others have found out about this.
I've shot H&N 28gr .249 and .250 in the avenger. They both seem to shoot fine. Keep in mind I was shooting at a metal squirrel target at 75yds, not at paper targets, so I don't know which one would actually group better. I hit the target the same amount with each slug.
So I'm still confused.
And right now I'm more interested in hunting squirrel and rabbit than sitting down with the chrono and being somewhat methodical about testing.

2495 if choked. My bullboss spits 28 gr at 860 fps but fx 26gr (i believe fx are .2505) only go around 700 through my chrony. I hit 810 with the 36 gr .2495. my boss is choked. So thats the factor there. Choke squeezes to hard on .2505

Pretty sure I remember Tyler Patner say the Avenger barrel was unchoked.

@JamesW1 If you’re testing slugs for the first times nd haven’t slugged your barrel, I recommend trying both diameter sample packs. When trying to find out what your gun’s barrel likes be prepared to have excess projectiles that it didn’t shoot well. Tough for another person who hasn’t owned or shot your rifle to tell you what it likes. Also check Nielsen Specialty Ammo (NSA) to see if they offer sample packs.

Nielsen doesn't have sample packs but they do have low count lots so you can effectively build your own. I've got a mess sitting in the safe I need to test with the L2.

The Hatsan web site was a good tip.
