Thanks guys.
Matt: Sorry, I didn't mean it! Honest.. hehe

There 's not much difference. The .22 will kill anything the .25 will and .25 pellets are more expensive. Save your $ unless you plan on shooting a Coyote at long distance like 70 to 90yds (as has been done by a few others). If that's the gun's purpose, then I 'd upgrade to .25 but the .22 I bet can do the same job. My .25's are power tuned. This particular one gets 90fpe with 42gr EunJins (bored-out valve, polished, etc.) The breach is also mated with the barrel, etc. Lots of mods.. You should get 75+fpe in stock form, if you threw a .25 LW barrel in it with heavy Eun Jins. It's more accurate with 31gr Kodiaks though and so should be your .22 Condor. 21gr Kodiaks and 18.1gr JSB's in .22 flavor are usually the most accurate. It does ok with 28.4gr EunJins too which I 've used to kill raccoons, but the Kodiak is the main pellet in my .22 Condor.
To be honest these guns are too dang powerful though for backyard shooting in a residential neighborhood, so you have to be very careful of what's behind your target and your backstop. My .22 Condor will go through a 2x8" after a few shots in the bullseye (or like a clover leaf pattern group) at 25yds using Kodiaks, and that's not at max. power. The .25 blows through the 2x8" after usually 2 shots in the same hole or a 3-shot group, where the .22 usually takes at least 1/2 dozen shots and more at that distance (25yds) to start ripping through the back of a hardwood pressure treated 2x8". So now I only take 3-shot groups with the .25 and 5-shot groups with the .22 and move on to another target on the paper so I don't go through the 2x8" quickly. I try to utilize almost every square inch of the wooden boards because they are not cheap but they are the only thing that will stop the pellets from a Condor, well a few shots anyway, and then you have to reposition paper or have multiple targets on the paper so you can shoot 30-40 shots without changing paper (or wood) before recharging the gun's tank
