With my 22 cal 510 mm CZ barrel coming soon for Glimmer (RTI Prophet Performance Compact and yes a 510 mm barrel will work fit in the existing shroud of the compact) I want to get some .22 cal slugs, but on the lighter weight side. The benchmark FPE I want the slugs to be effective and stable in is the 19 to 23 FPE range.
Part 1 of the reason is I want a light weight slug is generally you get a lower FPE, which is important to me. I want to try some longer range shots (past a 80-100 yards) at my permissions, but I CAN'T go power crazy one for safety of people, animals, and property. The owner gives me free reign of his properties and that is because he trusts me, if I start punching holes through thing then that goes away. Yet, the wind tends to play havoc with the pellets, though I am doing pretty well 50 and under yards using them in 177, yet I want to push past 75 yards in both wind and further in light wind days, there is almost always a breeze in Idaho.
Part 2 I there is a 22 cal project coming up I and some others are part of and I want to use some existing 22 cal slugs on the market to use for comparison. I have some 21 grain HN slugs, .217 OD, and I will get some .218 ODs for comparison. My thought process is using 21 grain as high end, and so far other than the HN 21 grain slugs, I only see two other options in 22 cal which are from NSA, 17.5 and 20.2 grains.
Does anyone have experience with the .22 cal NSA slugs in 17.5 and 20.2 grains? OR can recommend some other options?
Yes, I know I might be asking for a bit much now, but who knows I might get lucky.
Lastly, to predict and / or gauge the future you have to benchmark it with the now.
