Violacola25 5 Posted March 14, 2022 Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 Does anyone have any reviews using the Mako 10.5 slugs? Preferably through a 177 Fx impact sub 12. Also im finding it tricky to purchase over the counter, lots to pay for online but not a fan of online payments. Does anyone have a supply that can recommend?. Quote Link to post
Dervburner 2,549 Posted March 14, 2022 Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 Why are you finding it tricky to purchase over the counter? How old are you?........ 1 Quote Link to post

villaman 9,983 Posted March 14, 2022 Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 Tried them in sub12, but didn’t work in my guns , accuracy not good and only running at less than 10.7 ftlbs Quote Link to post

The only ones I’ve tried were the h&n rabbit magnums in my hw100 and they were abysmal to say the least. To the point that I wasn’t really sure where some of them went, certainly not on the target.

No luck at all . Slugs need to be shot at speed imo , but I did give Jimmy some H&N 10.5 gr and they worked in his FX 1 Quote Link to post

Also, the fx barrels may well be more suited to them? 2 Quote Link to post

My verminator 177 runs very good with slugs Jake Slug liner no Smooth twist barrel yes And that's what I thinks works well in it with the slugs She is deadly very deadly with them Only got about 200 left and every time I try to order more Yep sold out lol So gone back to jsb heavys for know Keeping the slugs for some thing else Atvbjimmy Quote Link to post

I tried slugs given to me in my Springer Hunter which is a cheapo Remington that happens to be right up the limit and very straight and they more or less fell out the end hahaha Quote Link to post
