With all the hoopla surrounding slugs lately, I was looking for something to feed my Steyr Hunting 5 semi auto. JSB 18ers have been fine but I was just looking for more ballistic coefficient. My buddy had some of what I was just looking for, the H&N Sniper Magnums. He said they didn’t shoot well in his Weirauch so I was welcome to them. So I tried em out. 17.9 grainers hit same POI as my JSB 18.3’s. They grouped just as tight! I didn’t get to run their legs off, but the closer shots seemed to smack the ground squirrels harder. Perhaps it was my imagination, my wanting... These are the pellets that are shaped kinda like slugs and just might make my gun hit harder a little farther.
