I am looking to purchase a high end gun next spring and looking at both .25 and .30 cal. I currently have a .25 marauder and want something more accurate for 100 yards or more. I have not seen any side by side reviews or much talk between the two calibers. My main goals are accuracy and quietness( additional moderator if needed is fine ) and shot count somewhat good lastly. I will say about $2500 for gun only is my limit. I would love to hear from those of you who have experience with both calibers. Any gun suggestions are fine but really more interested in performance of the two.
Is .30 a lot louder? Is it less accurate for same gun in .25? Is the extra F.P.E needed? Minimum safe area behind target? Any ammo issues since limited .30 cal pellet makers? And feel free to add any other info you find useful.
