Doing some slow testing with leight weight slugs to establish if they will group at lower speeds, shooting the brand new Unknown Slugs in 22gr, FX Hybrid slugs in 22gr and H&N in 21gr. You will be as surprised as I was...

Gert, this is about the 5th time i’m watching this video. It’s an excellent point of reference for those do can’t get high powered equipment. Great video, thanks.

Very nice work . That first set was epic , I'd suffer a little FPS to keep a group that tight , what's a few pounds of energy vs perfect placement ? I'm off to see a more recent upload from you sub earned

I enjoy your videos. Interesting results from your testing. I use .177 springers here, cannot afford the gas powered rifles.

Thanks very much Gert. Lovely to see how slow the light slugs can go.

Good experiment ! But even if they accepted to be shot slowly ,I would rather choose to shoot them with high speed .Try to get a poly 6 groove barrel.

The only projectile I could get to group out of the Gamo wildcat whisper break barrel .177 I had were NSA 12gr slugs. They were flying at about 640fps. They were the ONLY projectile of about 6 I tried to group under 1" at 20 yards. I got rid of that rifle soon after.

Wow very interesting, I couldn’t believe my self I thought slugs should be shot at high speed’s.Thats is advantage of fx impact, you can shoot almost any pallets or slugs by easily tune your Impact to perfect speed of the pellet or slug.

Just purchased a DAR Gen 3 PCP. Would like to try slugs as it's insanely accurate with about every pellet I've fed it up to about 18.9 grains. Velocity avg is a very consistent 820 fps. Obviously lighter weight slugs will be in order, but are there any you'd recommend over another for a non-slug liner barrel?
