Watching the forecasted winter artic blast head toward the Midwest, I decided that if I wanted to finish setting up my King, this afternoon was my window to do so. Not ideal, as the temps were only in the mid 30s and the wind was approximately 8 mph quartering in, I dressed for it, put a tether bottle out to try to keep the pressure up, set targets out at my max range of 84 yards, and proceeded to shoot two ten shot groups each of the SIX best short range performing slugs - out of twelve different slugs tested.
The ZAN 37 grain performed respectfully and came out second. The best performing slugs hands down were the Alteros 50 grain (shown below). In the second group, five of the 10 shots went into the same hole!
The rifle was equipped with an Athlon Midas Tac 6-24x50 FFP MRAD scope and Accu-Tac G2 bipod.
For those King or Panthera owners curious, I have included the final tune settings.
