.30 fx hybrids

i did and i was not thrilled. :cautious:
They were just as awesome .. when they first introduced the automated system. I still have 5 boxes. But I imagine that the - die was changed some later for a more -- FX -- friendly design .. the new dies suck in AGT guns.. all 3 weights ,43 - 47 - 49 .. i could see them spiraling away..fearing that JSB does the Same for the same reason..I'm hoarding a few tins just in case..

At first I was alittle hesitant to shoot slugs, but now I'm a firm believer. At 50yds the hybrids shot a single hole and at 100yds same outcome hole in hole....WOW
*865fps*
I shoot Hybrid Slugs 95% of the time and they are super accurate! I shoot them out of my FX Maverick VP .30cal at 930fps, and they are simply devastating on game! Take a look at this round I recovered from a 66 yard bodyshot pass-through on a groundhog. Just ridiculous expansion!

From left to right: FX Hybrid Slug .30cal new, FX Hybrid Slug .30cal recovered, FX Hybrid Slug .357 new for comparison. I also have a video of the shot in slo-mo if you are interested.

I tried faster speeds and groups opened up so looks like 865 is my magic speed very accurate at 865 and saves some air. I'd definitely like to see that shot! Where you at in Ohio? We should get together for some shooting if you have a area that's legal.

I'm in Youngstown. I do a lot of hunting on several public lands nearby, as there are around 4 to 5 separate public lands in a 30 min drive.
Here is a link to the video.
