[QUOTE="FAL Shot, post: 576504, member: 27328"] Most PCP hunting class air rifles have variable power. Springers do not. The BSA Lonestar and Benjamin Marauder are adjusted by varying the hammer spring pressure. My Lonestar came perfectly adjusted for .25 JSB Exact King pellets, they are just starting to get noisy and barely into the transsonic zone, but not enough to affect accuracy. H&N Baracuda could take a bit more power, being heavier. H&N Field Target Trophy are too light and make a ballistic crack and are not accurate. On examination of a pellet stopped by water, the FTT had a bulged out rear skirt caused by the too-high power level. The FTT is a springer pellet unless you turn down your PCP power. It would get you more shots, but a bit less range, if you did that. I had a Crosman Nitro Piston springer. They are junk compared to a PCP. The Marauder and Lonestar have adjustable match grade triggers. [/QUOTE]
