Airmarksman .22 cal slugs

Has anyone used the hollow point? I see several comment and post about the 40.1 grain slugs, but I'm curious about the 33.1 grain .217. I purchased my M4 Impact sniper shooting 950 fps with the 33 grain slugs. IDK how many shots or my ES. My chronograph just arrived. Still awaiting my tank for top airgun tank and optic choice. Currently it looks like Utah have me on my macro power wheel at 16 and the macro at 4. I like to be 140ish on my regulator.

UA was out of stock of the .218 33gr. So I ordered the .218 34gr Corbin slugs from Pyramyd Air which are the exact same except for the weight.

Here they are compared to the 34gr H&N Heavy that I have been shooting.

I am shooting them from my DRS 22 700 @990 fps. I have the reg at 162 bar.
They seem as accurate as the H&N, but I'm skeptical that they will expand as well as the H&N heavy slug.
I haven't made time to shoot them much to find out.
This late in the summer the pdogs are very cautious so I have been using my 223 Remington or 204 Ruger for those longer shots.

I got to shoot the .218 34gr Corbins today at 120 yards and 165 yards at some steel prairie dogs.

There was a 3 to 6 mph cross wind from R to L.

I was shooting them from my DRS 22 700 at 990fps.





They are accurate but I am still skeptical about the expansion of them ??

I probably won't be using these for pdogg'n.

I too am like you and didn’t think thy would mushroom much. So far though I’m liking the accuracy of the ones you guys shared from take aim

Take aim are insanely good.

That's not bad expansion, but I did expect a bit more. What's the bc supposed to be on these slugs? Great shooting btw!

Thanks ! I'm not sure where I found the BC, but I am using .112

No not bad. The H&N heavy is better though.

H&N heavy slug .218 shot horrible for me. Maybe I didnt have them fast enough. I was running them at 940 fps average but @ 50 yards today 1-1.5 group

Those shot great out of my U2 .22 700 at 900fps.

Gotcha, I have some heavy stuff but I haven't tried any as I've been ensuring to go through my JSB KO 20.83gr slugs. I'd you're seen my posts on the head shot thread, you'll notice they are extremely effective 1020fps . Maybe once I'm out I'll add the 7.8g hammer to my M4 and up the power to shoot the 30gr, 33gr and 34gr.

These 18gr Take Aim in my U2 177 600mm are killer though!

The 20gr are moa or submoa at 191yd barely trying but I gotta calculate the data for it.
