I have a 30cal wildcat mk3 bt compact. I'm shooting Nielsen 47.2gr slugs at 851 fps. Is this to slow? For slugs, it is pretty accurate!
What yardage are you shooting at? Stock liner? Show some groupings. If its accurate and will work for your intended purpose than I see no reason to think its too slow.

What is the basis for this statement?You would probably be a lot more accurate around 960-970FPS.
Can i get that out of the box with no modifications?You would probably be a lot more accurate around 960-970FPS.
First lets start with your groupings, ranges, etc... to just throw out a FPS without knowing where you're at is silly.Can i get that out of the box with no modifications?
Don't mess with it, shoot it at that speed at distance before playing with it.I'm shooting at 35-40 yards and it's going in the same hole. This picture is 15 shots

Long range shooting get easiest as the shot curve is flattened.What is the basis for this statement?
Very little reason to shoot slugs over pellets with that tubeDon't mess with it, shoot it at that speed at distance before playing with it.
My uragan 30 shot jsb knock out 50.15 slugs at 860 fps and would do MOA at 100 yards like that.
Also, bone stock rifle? standard liner?
All of that means nothing if the rifle is not accurate at that speed?Long range shooting get easiest as the shot curve is flattened.
Also…slug knock down is much better, because of expansion.
Yes , bone stock std. linerDon't mess with it, shoot it at that speed at distance before playing with it.

I would say shoot it at that speed, at distance, if it performs well , write down or take note of current tune. Then if you want more speed/power, go from there, but at least this way you know that where you were worked well .Yes , bone stock std. liner
Experience? I've shot well over 1000 of those exact NSA slugs through multiple FX guns. They are highly accurate with the 1.22 twist on the standard liner around those speeds.What is the basis for this statement?
Every rifle is different, reg setting, hammer spring, etc all play a role in accuracy. His hole in hole group at 40 yards looks great, would love to see if it opens up at range before messing with any settings.Experience?

My red rider bb gun shoots hole in hole at 40 yards, doesn't mean it's accurate. Most NSA slugs like to go 950-1000FPS through FX products from my experience as well.Every rifle is different, reg setting, hammer spring, etc all play a role in accuracy.

Nobody had even seen a group in the thread before a statement like "would probably be a lot more accurate at...." was thrown out.

That gun should have come with a 13-gram hammer weight and should be able to do 950-970 out of the box. 47.2 are not that heavy of a slug. If you were to shoot those at 100 yards you'd probably have a 2 or 3-inch group at 850FPS with some of them destabilizing.Can i get that out of the box with no modifications?
Or should I switch to pellets?
