.177 JSB KnockOut Slugs 13.43 gr : EDgun Leshiy 2

[BlackTitanium]

For those of you shooting .177, what are your experiences using slugs?
I was curious about the JSB KnockOut Slugs, for the Leshiy 2 .177, but couldn’t find any discussion specific to the .177 caliber.

So, I bought a tin of .177 (4.52mm) 13.43gr JSB KnockOut Slugs, and gave them a go.

Good news, the JSB KnockOut Slugs fit into the Leshiy 2 .177 magazine and do not fall through the magazine. The slugs do however protrude about a third, out of the barrel end of the magazine.

When the gun is held with the barrel pointed downward, the one slug that is aligned with breech, protrudes into the breech of the barrel, will prevent the magazine from being manually rotated. Holding the gun with the barrel pointed upwards, all of the slugs will fall to backplate of the magazine, then the magazine can be freely rotated manually.

I only use my L2 for backyard pest control, so I cannot comment on how well the KnockOut Slugs perform beyond 10 yards.

What does M 47/08 mean?

Thank you!

So, in the Czech Republic, back in August 2017, the Czech Proof House for Arms and Ammunition required a change to the labeling of all firearms, ammunition and pyrotechnic articles manufactured in the country.

“M 47/08” is the new Czech Republic alphanumeric indicator of the pellets’ caliber for .177 (4.5mm).

You really have self control, I would have put 7 more rounds in that rat after he was still moving. I have shot them lethally and they manage to get under the fence into the neighbors yard to die. Nice scope, I wish my paard was that clear.

I tried NSA slugs in my 30 calib once, and I had the same issue with protrusion and the first one entering the breech.Then I started to load the slugs with the mag still on gun (still the first one slipping in) to try and finish up all the slugs.. Did not buy any more NSA slugs after that. No clear response from either NSA or EGW.
