30cal Javelin Slugs

[Lancer]

I'm thinking about changing from FX Hybrids over to Gen 2 Javelin slugs in 60gr 30cal
Anyone using these bad boys and at what speeds are you throwing them
I'm using FX impact M3 700mm barrel. I was pushing the Hybrids out at 960fps
Should I change over to a heavy Barrel or the std will do the job

You will need the now re-named "slug" liner for javelins.

I was shooting 68gr javelins but recent testing ive done out to 260 yards has made me switch over to Zans. Zans have a much more consistent BC out my 700mm FX Dynamic which shows up bigly at distances over 120 yards.

The packaging alone tells a huge story on how Patriot and Zan handle manufacturing and operational precision. Zans like Altaros slugs and FX hybrids come individually contained. Javelins come in a cylindrical container where they all bang around. I'm certain that packaging alone will have a significant impact to the consistency of your shots.

IMO element optics and javelins are over hyped and under deliver.
