Other Why so many .25 cal. for sale?

Maybe some people arent as rich as you are, but pretty sure Charlie has been in this longer then most people and knows what he speaks. Cost is a factor in everything we do, be it driving, recreation whatever. If you have money to burn then it probably doesnt matter to you but for some people it does matter and the reason they are in this sport is none of our concern only theirs.

$13 per thousand rounds in this hobby is a pittance regardless of how wealthy you are.

$13 won't even cover the cost differential between one tin of JSB and H&N Baracuda.

10,000 rounds and you would have the price of a low end Gamo break barrel

100,000 rounds and you are at the low end price of the used FX Impact.

250,000 rounds and a Daystate Black Wolf is equivalent.

The cost of .25 ammo is over exaggerated. More .25s are sold of recent years thus more are therefore for re-sale.

Same reason you see so many FX for sale. But looking in the classifieds here and airguns.net .22 still look to be the most common.

I suspect the general underperformance of .25 in the competitive scene may have something to do with it. Most of the ammo developments seem to be focused on .30 as well, with some trickle down to .25 shortly after. If there were energy limitations in 100 yard benchrest, .25 may make a comeback.

I still enjoy my .25s

My reason for selling my .25 and .30 is collateral damage art my permissions. When that pellet blows thru that starling, where does it end up. I figure.22 is safer in that regard.
