villaman 9,980 Posted October 30, 2019 Report Share Posted October 30, 2019 Tried the new H&N slugs tonight , didn’t hold out much luck with them ,only because I have never found a gun to shoot H&N pellets , specially FX guns , but my god they are good in slug liner and X liner it has been said , you need to a slug liner to shoot slugs , NO YOU DONT with these H&N SLUGS . We tried them in the FX crown and FX wildcat FAC and in both guns slug on slug @75 yards . Another surprise both guns were quieter shooting slugs than pellets If any of you who have FAC air .22 give these H&N slugs ago Trouble is the shop in Germany have runout , but good news they should be over here in the uk very, very soon 3 Quote Link to post
bigmac 97kt 13,735 Posted October 31, 2019 Report Share Posted October 31, 2019 I wonder what they would be like in sub 12 or do they make any at all for sub 12 rifles Mitch , would love to try some in my crown but i think the fac ones would be a waist of time atvbjimmy Quote Link to post
villaman 9,980 Posted October 31, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2019 Yep jimmy at 21 gr probably a bit to heavy if I had a few tins I would send you some up , but only have about 25 left and can’t get any more until they come back in stock or they start selling over here . soon as I get a tin I will wiz some up to you mate 1 Quote Link to post
bigmac 97kt 13,735 Posted October 31, 2019 Report Share Posted October 31, 2019 I think slugs are going to be the future in air gunning Mitch and i think 21gr may be as you say a bit to much in a sub 12 i think ill wait and see if they make a slug for sub 12 Its only a matter of time before some one dose . after all if some one dose not all ready do it,, its a big part of the market that they missing out on not every one has fac or can get it (like me lol) You would think some one would of jumped on the band wagon . Im surprised jsb have not i think a slug in 17 or 18gr would be spot on for sub 12 . atvbjimmy Quote Link to post
villaman 9,980 Posted October 31, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2019 I might be wrong , but I think to get a slug to work you need the speed Quote Link to post
philpot 4,928 Posted October 31, 2019 Report Share Posted October 31, 2019 These might be worth a try Jimmy as a half way house. https://voymir.com/hn-22/338-hn-rabbit-magnum-ii-airgun-pellets-cal-22-550mm-200pcs-4047058011578.html https://voymir.com/hn-22/426-hn-piledriver-airgun-pellets-cal-22-550mm-150pcs-4047058018492.html I tried the Grizzly pellet/slug in my Impact but with a 4'' group at 25mt, goodness knows what the group size would be at 50mt or further and looking at Voymir's site they do not list them in .22 with is a pity as they would be interesting to try at sub 12 levels. https://voymir.com/hn-25/370-hn-grizzly-airgun-pellets-cal-25-635mm-150pcs-4047058018461.html Phil Quote Link to post
Sausagedog 7,381 Posted October 31, 2019 Report Share Posted October 31, 2019 I use to use 22 bizzy mags in sub 12. Under close woodies they were good. My fave weight for sub 12 is 16gn these days. They seem really stable to good distances. 1 Quote Link to post

Then I got some jsb of similar weight and was impressed. I don't mind loopy trajectories mate. I will work with mother nature before I'll ever try and resist it! 1 Quote Link to post
