Keep your smug comments to yourself. It was a genuine question. Don’t most of us have work and family commitments. I also run my own business, out pricing work evenings and weekends , paper work and do a full days work 3 Quote Link to post

Smooth twist, smooth twist X or slug liner. To slightly differing degrees maybe, but they appear to be better suited to slugs than more conventional rifled barrels? Standard rifled barrels certainly seem to need plenty of speed, as in fac levels, to stabilise slugs. But then, I could be wrong, it has been known 3 Quote Link to post

jeemes 5,168 Posted March 17, 2022 Report Share Posted March 17, 2022 I just bought some Mako slugs to try but havnt yet, however I dont think I'll order anymore anyway because they worked out at 15pence each and I think thats a bit too much. Imagine buying a tin of 500 pellets for £75 Id also just like to say that I also run a business, in which I do hardly anything but mess about but I still buy all my pellets online haha I also wouldnt bother with fac airguns so I dont think I'll bother slugs again. 1 Quote Link to post

Ive had a few over the years including a .25 made by JB but I only shoot rabbits Squirrels and rats and I think sub12ft is plenty. Its enough to kill a strong cock Pheasant stone dead at 50yds with .177 and that gives me a bigger thrill than my fac's used to including my 17hmr 1 Quote Link to post
