Check out this rabbit I just took https://www.airgunnation.com/threads/airgun-slug-expansion-for-hunting-contributing-factors-and-how-to-achieve-it.1306038/post-1744186

Just a general guidelines depending on what game you are hunting are listed here...good rule of thumb on needed calibers and fpe https://www.airgundepot.com/vault/articles/basic-airgun-hunting-guidelines/

I'm no expert but soo many variables on expansion. This link has a calculator to give an estimate of Wound Channel Depth / Penetration Calculator https://www.airgunsofarizona.com/Calcs.html . Below are vids on results of expansion, when I shoot into dirt it's totally different, doesn't expand...

No complaints, seems tight. I've made about 600 slugs so far and hasn't developed any play.

Lizard at 100 yards victim of a Thor press 60 grain slug ... Head shot

Wasting water in the desert, not good but couldn't help myself. Interesting results with 62gn hollow pt slug at 957fps...perfect expansion :-)

Groups at 100 yards with 62gn Flat base slugs made with Thor Press. Definitely capable of moa groups

Groups at 100 yards with 62gn Flat base slugs made with Thor Press and a slug after it hit two water jugs

I was attacked by a sweet potato, had to defend myself

No, seems to shoot the same. I shot 1" groups with AVS also until I pushed up to 175 bar then groups opened up the same. That's why on the video I said I was probably gonna tune it down a bit. I think if I drop it down to about 900fps they should shrink down. With the AVS 62.5gn I was shooting...

Tuning 60gn ThorPress Slugs. I shot a couple groups today nothing crazy great but I'm just shooting off of a bipod at 100 yards. Groups are about an inch and a half which I am more than happy with because again I'm just shooting with a bipod and not a sled. I'm sure if I had a sled and locked it...

The rattler will take 20mm long slugs? Anyway, I'll see what it will max out at length wise reading this thread I didn't think rattlers could take much longer than 15mm https://www.airgunnation.com/threads/western-airguns-rattler-357.1269107/page-4

The shape of the ogive is why, more rounded less narrow

Max length I can fit in the Vulcan 3 is 10.6mm but you can buy aftermarket part to lengthen mag a little more. Basically a spacer to give a little more room

All right damn it one more vid. Because of Thor Press Slug design, the Ogive, or nose of the slug is more rounded, I can increase the weight of the slug without increasing the length because using the AVS 62.5 slug was getting pretty close to the maximum length slug I could use. With the...

My comparison on slugs made with Thor Molds Press Slug and AVS slugs in .3063 and my thoughts on Corbin press and the PressSlug press

Not sure why this video didn't post with my previous post but here is the results of an extremely windy afternoon but the Thor Press Slugs definitely have potential very consistent definitely can get under one moa at 100 yards

Terrible windy day but showed some groups at a hundred yards. Definitely capable of sub moa first group was close to that and I'm just shooting off a bipod not a sled. Groups kept getting worse as the wind picked up it got ridiculous and I'm too impatient to wait for the lull in between gusts...

They have their own slug design, but .3063 isn't a really common size other that used on the AGT Vulcan 3 so they made the die in .3063 for me

It had maybe half inch air gap. That would actually be interesting to see if it made a difference with absolutely no air gap...just the lid sitting directly on the water. I also left the lid loose because I didn't want to much pressure and it splitting the side out.
