I have an Evanix ar22 and an ar6k in 22cal. What caliber have you found that seats in the magazine and doesn't fall out? I've tried several .216 and .217. Maybe .218 or .219? Let me know what works for you. Thanks, Bill and Addi.
What pellets/slugs for Evanix ar6 22cal?

Thanks. The JSB 25.39 falls out. Same with FX 25.4. Need 15gr. to 18.1gr for the K gun. 25gr is good for the ar22. Bill and Addi.

The Seneca Domed and Pointed are the best that I have found to fit in those cylinders without being loose. I use the dome headed ones. My AR6 is the Renegade version that does right at 42 ft. lbs. with the 28.5 grain domes.

This Renegade was before the AR6K, it is as it came, a reduced power AR6 Hunting Master. Got it in 2009. I wonder if the bores of the cylinders are still the same.
Edit to add, they're probably still the same if the smaller skirted pellets are falling out.

Back when I had AR6s and Sumatras I would seat the pellet with a Bic pen with the internal removed,...if I remember correctly the Baracuda sat nicely and of course the EunJin pellets like mentioned above.

I don't see how seating the pellet can help. The chambers are .220 for about 3/4 of the depth and then reduced to a lesser diameter. They are not tapered, but rather have a shoulder, stopping the pellet front going any further. Maybe the head was what needed seating. At 28.5g the Eun Jin pellets are too heavy for the modest power of the ar6k. Bill and Addi.

also what you can do if they don't seat is leave the chamber that lines up with the barrel empty.

That's what I did with my AR6K. I have shot the rifle with night vision, so needless to say it was dark. Easy enough to cock the hammer when you get the shot lined up. Just as easy to pull out the magazine and reposition it if no shot was taken.

I bought a K500 bottle version a while back . I bought it from the owner of Evanex at the shotshow. It was his show sample. He told me to get different springs for the trigger to try to tune for lighter pellets as mine was hi power for slugs and the EunJin pellets. I would think if you want more power you could try a heavier spring or somehow add a shim to the bottom to increase spring weight. If I had the machinery and knew how to use it I would try boring the rear of the cylinder at a taper to load from the rear and hold the pellets or slugs like the EdGun Leshiy 2 . The skirts expand once out of the cylinder. Removing and installing the spring is not easy and requires safety eye wear.
