I bought it as a gift for my grandson. I played around with it before I gave it to him. It only takes .177 Cal pellets. It depends on what you are hunting. .177 pellets may kill small rodents and birds at fairly close range. Crows, rats, squirrels, maybe small raccoons and possum. The most deadly and accurate are the pellets that are hollow pointed. The gun will jam if you load some pointed pellets in the magazine. If you are hunting something bigger, you need a gun (preferably, a rifle) that will shoot .22 cal. pellets. You need high velocity to get a clean kill on something larger than rodents. P-25 is only about 420 fps with a fresh Co2 cartridge. I bought it as a gift for my grandson. I played around with it before I gave it to him. It only takes .177 Cal pellets.

It fits .22 so snugly that I'm pretty sure .25 wouldn't fit at all. Sorry, I'm not aware of any .25 clip leaders.

Lead pellets or ball .177 only , shooting bb's will damage it , it will take a 16.3g pellet but deformed the targets . Regular 5g pellets are fine tho

WWW.pyramydair.com , $6.95 like I said before . I use A 22 long rifle round nose bullet , to load my mags it will round out , out of shape contails and snap them into place ! I use Superdome pellets made by Dynamit Nobel , Germany . I am shooting 1" group or less at 25yrds ! I also suggest you get the pyramdair catalogs , as they have good articles & airgun care !

i would say .22 is enough. .25 would work but personally seems like overkill. DO NOT have long shooting sessions with this rifle, the cocking is so stiff it WILL bend the barrel.

I'd say Golden. but any premium pellet works good. they should be polished and spherical. I use .20 grams.

That depends on your planned use - for target work, a light weight pellet is perfect as it can have greater velocity than a heavier weight pellet and has less time-of-flight to be influenced by winds; however, for hunting or pest control, a heavy pellet delivers more penetration. I've been using the Diablo JSB Exact Jumbo Monster (quite a name, for sure!) and it has proven to be accurate enough and has good penetration on impact.

You can use these pellets in the model gun specified. The only problem is the weight. The PT85 has a somewhat low velocity with a short barrel. The hevier pellet would decrease the advertised velocity of the gun. You would be better off using the standard 7.4 gr pellets. I use these heavier pellets in a Ruger Blackhawk Elite break barrel rifle and they work great, but they are slower than the manufacturer advertises on the box.

I personally haven't used .25g and I know .12g spreads out to much. So what I would suggest is the .20g or mabby .25 but the .25s will likly shorten your effective range. I hope this helps, if you have any more questions you can contact me.

I have been getting good results with the good ole basic Crossman superdomes at 14.3 Grains. They seem to shoot just fine out to 50 yards and I am not going to shoot much farther than that at a moving target. Every once in a while I get a flyer, but eh cost versus the number of shots I get more than offset the issue. I also feed these pellets to my PCP Webley Raider, and my Nitro Venom and they are a good all round pellet for what I am doing. Wheelchair Bob

I would be careful as the round is small. I have used the Sheridan 5mm on groundhogs and killed them stone dead. It was less than 10 yards with high grade pellets. I wouldn't go after a 25 pound raccoon with a pellet gun, they're just too sinew and muscle bound. Use a 410 shotgun if you can't use a rifle.

on someone else's recommendation, I am shooting Crosman Premier Hollow Point hunting pellets. I am pleased with the accuracy.

This is actually a very good question. My model 35 was all over the place (2"+ at 10 yards) with every type of domed, hollow point, or pointed pellet. Then I tried daisy wadcutters and crosman wadcutters and they both grouped about 1/4" at 10 yards with the factory open sights. It was mind-blowing how much difference there was between these pellets and all others. Trust me on this one. I tried a LOT of different pellets and had mostly poor results.

Yes, you may have to use a heavier grain pellet like an 8 or 10 grain. I was driving 10.5 grain pellets though 5/8" plywood at 10 meters. That is plenty strong enough to penetrate the carcasses of most common varmints. Just try to be accurate - head or heart - for a quick and clean kill.

I don't have the P85 but I suspect that these will function OK. They don't have an unusually long skirt. Edit: I just laid one of the heavy pellets next to one of the standard ones and the 10.5 grain pellet is slightly longer. I couldn't notice it until I had them side by side. I don't know how tight the tolerances are for your magazine so it really would be hard to answer until you try them.

If you are getting a true 1125 fps you must be using a pre-charged air rifle or the lighter, non-lead pellets. Regardless of what you're using I believe 1125 fps is too much for the trap. I would not use any non-lead pellets on the trap regardless of velocity. The trap should handle any springer, pneumatic or CO2 rifle firing standard lead pellets because very few of them will give you an honest 1000 fps.

Any .24 cal/6mm BB will work. I would recommend .2g BB'sThanksPyramyd Air Team
