Just wondering anyone out there shooting these 25 calibre H&N HP2 slugs in 28, 30, 32 and 34gr in their guns.
What speed for each weight?
Thank you.

I'm shooting the 30grns in my Dynamic 500mm Heavy Liner right at 950fps loves them MOA at 100yds single hole at 50 but I do get drift with wind more than I think I should my .22 Impact loves the 25grn.......

930-1000fps is fantastic for these slugs, have not tried the 28gr, but the rest of them yes.

I tried the 28's, The fx .25 1:16 liner just didn't like any 28gr slug aside from the Mk2 zans. The Hp2 30-32 were perfect. 860-952, Couldn't get higher than that using my dreamline tac ( with a little work)

Thank you all for your input. I will be testing these with my Snowpeak M60B converted 25cal. Hopefully one of them will work and give me 50+ FPE with accuracy out to 75 yards. Unfortunately, I am waiting for my fill hose to arrive as the old one leaked and I wasn't able to fill my tank with my compressor. Eager to tune...

Try the Hybrids. I usually don't like them. But the Zelos LOVES them in .22 and .25, so I'm willing to wager the m60b will as well.

I shoot the 30gr out of a 1:20 LW barrel in .25. 910-920fps is where they are the happiest for the last year or so. If that guns twist rate is close to my LW, give that a try. I don’t mess with under 30gr in .25. The whole shooting a square slug thing can just be a road of frustrations. At pellet gun or short range maybe not. But who wants that kinda slug gun.

@SciueraPlumbea I might give them Hybrids a try down the road. I need to find time to go down to the farm and do some more tuning. Thanks.
@Vetmx. Thank you for the information. I was thinking about ordering a longer LW barrel for my M60B if I can't get the extra speed needed for the heavier slugs. My goal is to tune this 25cal M60B strictly for my coyote hunt.

@gfmiller58 Nice speed with that 700mm barrel. I might have to source out a longer barrel as well for my M60B in the future if I can't get the speed I need. Thanks for the info.
