Slugs have changed how airguns are used now. For a lot of us shooting slugs 100 yards is our starting point. I remember not long ago, 100 yards with a diablo pellet was almost unheard of. I am lucky to be able to shoot out to around 700 yards at my house. I can do this with airguns. Because...

Is the 28" a new barrel? I don't see it on Skouts website yet.

I used the same legs also. Only issue is if you are looking for extreme precision they do have a little wobble forward and back. I am working on using one of these bolted to the bottom of the top. There is no play at all in it...

I don't have my numbers in front of me but it was about 28 MILS. I have a Zeiss S3 4-25 on the gun. I used the FX no limits rings so I have over 46 MILS of elevation I can dial on the scope. These scopes work great for long range shooting with airguns and rimfire.

I got a chance to shoot out to 500 yards with the ACE slugs. Every time I use these I am more impressed. Here is a 5 shot group at 500 yards. Looks like the wind got the one.

I just write down the cal, weight, hollow or solid, and depending on what press I used.

I got a chance to shoot these in almost no wind out to 400 yards. Out of my 700mm Panthera at 997fps groups at 400 yards looked to be right at MOA. I didn't walk out to measure but it was fresh painted steel. Very good groups for a liner that has less than 100 rounds thru it. My FX chrono...

I have only tired the ACE out to 100 yards and they just stack. Also they seem not as picky about a tune as the Altaros. I set a speed in 3 different guns and at every speed they just stacked. Better groups than a long of slugs even after finding a good tune. I am sure I will have to tune...

Ok, I guess I missed that part. I figured it would be just a little better. But they seem to shoot as well as the Altaros or better in the guns I have tried them in.

Any ideas when we can buy the dies for these new ACE slugs??? I bet a lot of guys are wanting them.

I wonder what the BC would be if shot out of a 1:14 barrel? Might be better since they might not be fully stable in a 1:16 barrel? Just a thought. But I don't think it would go from .195 in Matts video up to the .245 claim.

I don't remember in any of the videos of them saying they had a higher BC than the Altaros but they did say you can push them faster and get the same accuracy with them. That I have noticed with my little testing so far. Also with a 1-16 twist marginal that might be why they get the best...

Any idea what gun he used?

Not the same one. But here is one. https://www.maddogcrs.com/Booster-Pump_p_62.html

I just checked. The boattail will fit in the hole in the magazine cover so the slugs will fit. You will need the slug magazine, they fall right thru the pellet magazine. Here is pics with one in a magazine.
