My barrel is super tight. It prefers .2165 and some companies' .217's. Larger than this and the slugs are too tight to push into the breech.Try a few different manufacturers slugs in different diameters because they all use different amounts of antimony. Try AVS, Franco's slugs here on AGN. Both of my barrels diameters are different than others from the same brand. Most CZ barrels in .22 like .218, mine likes .2183's! My RAW's.barrel likes .2175 NSA so finding the right diameter for that specific slug whether it's pure lead or not is the most difficult part about slug shooting in my humble opinion....accuracy will be noticeable right away within just 2-3 shots. You'll get it!
