For some reason this pic did not show up. You can see the foam has no lead pieces at all. The shinier little dots are just light reflecting off some of the foam cells. 😁

Just wanted to update so other people doing research can have all the info possible. This is 3 months later. I am still using the 30g slugs with supper results. If the gun is turned perfect I get 3/8 c/c groups at 50 yds all day long, I have even got some 3 and 5 shot groups hole...

I have a quick question. I’ve never had this happen or maybe just not caught it. I did a lot of tuning on my .22 FX Impact this winter and got it shooting H&N 27 and 30 grain slugs butter than I had ever dreamed I would. Most of this was in the 30’s to low 40,s. My reg was set at 154 bar and I...

I have an assortment of slugs left from testing and some H&Ns that I have been using but have switched to the 30g H&Ns. The 27g H&Ns did very well in my gun but the 30s do a touch better. All the H&Ns are washed and lubed, I think I do a very good job of it, my gun likes it. The H&Ns are a...

I went out after work today and shot the H&N 27g .217, 27g .218, and H&N 30g .217 10 shot groups at 100 yds just to compare with the 27g .217 tune. There was a 9 mph 90 degree cross wind, not really gusting just steady. I knew the groups would loosen up but figured it would still be a good test...

OK I finally got a chance to do a 100, 150, and 200 yd. test. It was dead calm when I got off work so I flew home, threw my stuff in the truck and went to a place I could shoot. So I got there just before dark with a card table, bipod, and bean bags. I also brought an LED rechargeable spot light...

Did some more 50 yd. testing today. I took pics of the last adjustment. This is the same .366" washer I have been using. For what I do this is way good enough for me. When I get a chance I will do 100 yds. and maybe 150. Most of my pesting is 50-80 yds. I have several opportunities to take...

OK I wanted to shoot some control groups to compare to with the exact same settings, same 30 yds. shooting with bipod and bags. Just wanted to make sure I didnt just get lucky or maybe I did. I dont have many of any size slugs left but enough to make some 5-shot groups. So here they are with the...

I don`t have one of these but that is gorgeous work!

This is kind of a continuation of another thread. It was not my thread and needs to have a fresh start. Here is the link to the previous thread if you are interested. https://www.airgunnation.com/topic/hn-slugs-first-thoughts-did-i-get-defects/#post-621224 .So a long story short I bought 1200...

So I wanted to update. I will also start another thread since there is so little info out there on the H&N slugs. Look for H&N 27g & 30g testing. I started out today by going out to the farm and shooting starlings and to use up my supply of 23g slugs. It got so windy the 23g were unreliable...

So did you see any accuracy changes with or without cleaning? For me it is not an option. I was not putting that in my gun period. I don’t think it would hurt the gun other than make the barrel dirty and loose accuracy. It would make a mess out of your magazines for sure and get all over your...

Yes I did. I put the magnetospeed on the gun and it was shooting at 921 FPS indoors at 70 degrees and lower humidity than when I was shooting before. I must have adjusted the valve stop in more after I took last chrony readings. I also did the scope height at the muzzle and that took it from...

I had 2000 of these slugs ordered when I read this, 27g in .217, 27g in .218, and 30g in .217. Mine looked the same way. I washed all 10 tins in dawn and hot water and re-lubed them in slick 50 supercharged. I have not shot any yet but I took a few picks. I personally hope these work good for me...

Here is a pic of my scope mounts. You can see there is a big difference between front and rear.
