RAW HM1000X 30 cal and slugs

[johnp]

Does anyone have the rapid air weapons Hm1000x in 30 caliber shooting slugs? If so how does it like them in what brand and weight are you using? I asked this question on the raw owners Facebook page and I pretty much got laughed at. 

It has the unchoked polygonal Barrel so I don't see why it wouldn't shoot slugs good so any help would be greatly appreciated

I can’t speak to the .30, but I have one in 25 cal. I shoot NSA slugs through mine, and seem to work well.

I Really don't think anything can touch a 44.75gr JSB out of a 30 HM1000X besides when you try to go back you may not get the same accuracy believe it or not.

Are you certain that the barrel is a LW brand? I am assuming that they only make the polygon type barrels?

As I recall, Martin used top secret barrels for the .30 and.357. Well, he wouldn’t divulge anything to me regarding the maker of the barrels.

Exactly what odoyle says my rapid air weapon hm1000x LRT and 30 cal and 25 cal shoot jsb pellets so well then I'm afraid to put slugs through them I don't want to do anything that's going to disturb the performance of these rifles I finally have them shooting excellent no reason to mess with it good luck with your quest xss

I know it's a heavy gun, but I really wanted to try hunting with it and I know slugs retain more energy down range than pellets do.

Was just going to ask the same question. Heard the NSA 47gn do well. And the NSA 49.5gn seem to like LW barrels from past experience
