Sub 12 slugs

[philpot 4,925]

Just seen an article on Pro Hunter Premium slugs for the sub 12 air guns which gives food for thought weighing in at just under 18gr but not sure if they are any good in the real world although may well suit my Wildcat fac at 30fpe, see what you think.

 

Pro Hunter Premium High Impact .22 review

Hunters with sub-12 foot pound rifles no longer need to feel left out when it comes to slugs thanks to Pro Hunter’s new .22, as Mike Morton finds out. The last 18...

I reckon they’ll be good at 30ft lbs Phil, not so sure about 12ft lb. I think they might need more speed to stabilise properly. I hope I’m wrong though

Tried pro hunter .25 slugs one of the worst slugs I have tried in my impact, along with wildman slugs , both completely awful in my gun .

the only way to find out is to try them . 
AA fields  18 gr are probably far better .

Met up with a fella last Monday after heading back home from a few days in Northumberland, he had 5 tins of these in  .30 . He rated them in his Rapid. I looked at getting a tin in .177 @ 10.5 g but at £24 for a bag of 250 I thought fook that

Smooth twist X 700mm

They worked very good in my verminator but the slugs were in 177

The Vermy has the smooth twist 

In it but the rifle is away getting sorted out as it lost power 

Should have it back soon 

Has your mate tried them 177 slugs yet Phil I gave him 

I'll be using them again once iv got it back
