I’ve tested a lot of slugs out of all of the FX slug liners since they came out about 3 years ago. Just about every slug available, out of all of the FX slug liners. However, I haven’t tested nearly as many out of our RAW. The NSA 33.5 shoots so well out of our gun, we just kind of left it at that. I did test quite a few but not like out of the FX liners. BIG MISTAKE!
The post a while back got me thinking, so today I decided I’d test as many slugs as I could out of our RAW. I ended up testing one! The gun is tuned to shoot the 33.95gr. JSB’s at 910fps so I decided to start with one of the lighter slugs I had with me…The FX Hybrids at 26gr. I shot a group at 50yds. It was tiny, so I moved back to 75yds. It was tiny too, so I moved back to 100yds. This is the first group I shot at 100yds. It was going to be a 5 shot group but I got a little excited and fired off a couple extras. I think it’s 7 shots. Luckily, I didn’t ruin the group. For size comparison, my thumbnail is 5/8” across. Center to center about 3/8”.
This is one of the top three best groups I have ever shot at 100yds with slugs. The others were 5 shot groups though, so I’d have to say this is my best ever at 100yds. Ironically, one of the other top groups was with the FX Hybrids too, out of a FX Superior liner that Centercut now owns.
So to answer the question about what slug to shoot out of the RAW HM1000x, I’d say start with the 26gr. FX Hybrids!
Have a great day.
