. 177 pellet small.. small pellet skirt... slides over the O ring no problem.. .25 big gap between pellet head and skirt...O ring holding pellet to tight... oil it ... or take the O ring off put a smaller diameter thickness O ring... lets say .25 ... is .oo10.. put a .oo5.. mm ... the magazine self lines it self... left and right.. no up and down ....see if the hole is dead center up and down in the magazine..hope thats helps .... stay safe ... happy new year....hello from ireland..😉..
I have a 25 cal as well and the feed from the magazine is bad. Sometimes I have to jiggle and her the magazine to get the pellet to load or sometimes I have to slam the bolt really hard a couple times to get it to feed. It’s frustrating but like you it’s the only problem I can’t seem to fix. I have had a couple other issues but a quick email and it’s fixed. Customer service is like no other. I’ve had them send me a fix and wanted me to let the, know it the problem was fixed and had them answer me within minutes. Love my Priest 2 premium. RTI arms is like what is FX? Great video.
Like you I'm very impressed with their service . Obviously a top notch company who care about their clients. Apart from the .25 cal mag everything else is absolutely first rate on my rifle .
BSA Pylarm pellets we're the ammunition of choice back in the early 70's , a bit dearer then the run of the mill pellets of the day ... They were very accurate in my BSA Mercury ( well as accurate as was then ) only did them in .22 I think ... Difficult too say if your problem is due to alignment , I'd of thought if that was the case , every pellet would " catch " for want of a better word ... Had that trouble with my weihrauch ( .20 ) weren't an alignment problem , it was the AWEFUL crossman premier pellets .. just wouldn't cycle ... Bought a " sizer " and sized ALL 1250 pellets ( son bought me 2 boxes for Christmas ) then they were ok Could try ( if you already haven't ) spraying a bit of Baliistol type oil in the magazine ... That said , if RTI are on the case I wouldn't worry ... May even get some extra freebies too test ... Or as a gesture of good will ... You could as a last resort ( though I suspect RTI will sort it ) " hone " OR drill , ever so slightly the rear of the magazine plate where the pellet is pushed through ...
I used the old .22 pylarm in my BSA Mercury S back in the day and they were great . I'm hopeful RTI will be able to help ,they seem a great company with good customer service .
Interesting thoughts. I also have the .177 and .25 barrels, but haven’t used the .177 enough to know from personal experience if there are any issues. In mulling this over I’m starting to think that the problems, such as they are, with the .25 cal may be pellet rather than magazine related. Just because the .25 pellets are so big and heavy (as compared with .177) the skirts are far more easily damaged/distorted in transport and form carrying them around. What I’m experiencing is that the jamming you talk about is pretty random. For a while I had thought there might be a problem with the second chamber of the magazine, because that kept acting up, but that’s now gone away. The symptom I’m having is that every now and then the cocking action becomes noticeably stiffer at the final push to get the bolt into the barrel behind the pellet at the end of the cocking action. As you say, this may be because of a slight misalignment between magazine and barrel, although I have to say that my magazine fits very snugly and it feels properly seated. I’m going to start paying more attention to pellet condition and see if the ones with little nicks and dings are maybe the culprit, the thought bring that if they are not seated perfectly in the magazine, they might be going into the barrel slightly out of true, which could I think lead to jamming. In any case, one thing is for sure, this gun is not idiot proof and every problem I’ve had with it so far has actually been me, so I’m not blaming the gun yet! Thanks for an interesting and thoughtful video.
fieldsport cymru Yep. Saw that - was well spotted by one of your viewers. I have the new mag, though per my previous message it’s probably me doing something wrong. Will be v interested to hear how you get on with the new one yourself!

Remove the o ring which you think holds the pellets in place , the magazine will work very fine ,took this tip from Sniperqty ,and worked great !

Apparently I was given the original mags not the new ones .

@@rh1936 just hope they can send me one .
Dumped my Impact,heading for the P2 for sure.
Out of stock many months now
push the pellet in further when your puting the pellets in the mag use your Allen key to push it in its s pain but should sort it
big willy I’ve tried that by seating every pellet in the mag but there seem to always 1 or 2 that don’t want so load smoothly.
I tried seating them in deeper too and still get jams . It's a bloody shame as it's great in .25 cal . It works a treat in .177
I have the same problem with the .30
Hello sir, I got a priest 1st gen in cal 25, so far I didnt encounter this problem in my pcp, bolt push the pellets with no hassle inside the barrel....
Mine is a frequent jammer in .25 sadly as it seems are many . In the other calibre it's fine. You must be lucky . Keep well
I love this gun very accurate and powerful...
@@melissapatnugot6811 Yes it is one of the most accurate rifles I've seen and very easy to work on too . Do you hunt or target shoot ?
@@fieldsportcymru4636 backyard plinking sir...but sometimes I used it for pest control...
@@melissapatnugot6811 that's cool ,back yard plinking is great fun . Must admit I'm mainly into Hunting here in North Wales .
How is this hunting , Good off hand ?
Is it awkward or odd carrying around the bush I want to get this or the taipan veteran but undecided
Its good accurate easy to shoulder quiet . A good Hunting rifle
@@fieldsportcymru4636 would you choose this over a taipan veteran I have a brocock bantamn Wich is awesome
yore not only one! we all have the same problems!
I have been given the old style mags with my priest2. Have you got the new version ?
If you bought Priest 2 you should get new magazine, not this old one. The new magazine is way better than this one.
This is the new mag , the old one had a more open top were the face met the rotor .
Your right ..I apologise. It is the old style mag even though it is a priest 2
czcams.com/video/TDIWvI0AaZI/video.html, Watch at 2:35
@@fieldsportcymru4636 they have to give you new magazine, because with Priest 2 the new magazine come with it. Write to RTI about that.
Thank you for your help on this ...much appreciated my friend. I have just e mailed RTI .
Sell it and stick with the agt
Trouble is in .177 its awesome, accurate as hell and so nice to shoot . In .25 in single shot mode its astounding at long range.
