I would agree atchman2. None of the .25 caliber springers have the trajectory of the more powerful .177, .20, or 22 caliber spring guns. Even the most powerful of the .25 springers are lucky to break the 700 fps mark with the 25-27 grain pellets and some will not do that unless someone has altered them to such an extent they are no longer an actual example of the factory gun. At least this is what reputable professional writers/reviewers have reported. But I also know some examples do exceed the norm...but my B28 does not. There is only so much a springer can do unless it is made so large the dimensions start to border on the absurd. While I am sure many are quite good shots at 75+ yards with their large powerful .25 calibers I would think the rainbow trajectory would make extended range hits difficult. A PCP would be the way to go in my mind for hurling the big .25 caliber projectiles at ranges longer than 40 or 50 yards as they are much more powerful. The B28 I have seems to be running about 50-60 fps slower than the more powerful stock springers. Hopefully it will settle in close to the 650 fps range. I may have to have it tuned. Still I think it should prove good out to 30 yards or so and the reason I bought the .25 caliber isn't because I needed it...it was because I wanted it. I like to shoot and experiment with all types of guns. It's a hobby I take enjoyment out of. I'm not just all about "my gun is more powerful than yours so it must be better". I just purchased (2) QB-78s last week in both .22 and .177 caliber and they are great fun. When the wife is gone I shoot them in the house due to their low power. I will soon purchase a HW50s and someday I will stumble across a .25 Webley Patriot/Crow Magnum on a used gun rack and shall make it mine. My wife thinks I'm nuts...she may be right.
