Altaros Dominance at Oregon Extreme Airgun Competition

[Centercut]

@Altaros Slugs again dominated at the Airguns of Arizona and Airgun Oregon Extreme Airgun Competition. I need to get the exact numbers, but as far as I can tell almost ALL of the top shooters at the 100Y Benchrest (Slug) and the Long-Range Challenge shot Altaros, either .22 cal 40 grain Kings, .25 cal 49.5 grain Smooth or .25 cal 60 grain Queens. Even shooters that normally don't shoot Altaros (and there were a few but we won't mention names) shifted over to them when the competition was on the line.

I shot Altaros .25 caliber 60 grain Queens and they were absolutely amazing... 5th in 100Y BR Slug, but gun broke during Long Range - I was doing well. Team Centercut had five shooters competing with Altaros slugs.

The Winner at the 100Y BR (Slugs) shot the .25 cal 60 grain Queens.
The Winner at the Long-Range Challenge shot the .25 cal 49.5 grain Smooth.
Altaros Slugs. Simply next generation precision and accuracy!!!

Proof is in the pudding! Thanks for the info Centercut!

@Centercut i agree, I love the @Altaros slugs out of my BRK Ghost. I currently shoot the 50gr ATP Smooth at 900 fps. The accuracy of these slugs are truly next level. I love that these slugs are made with such precision. No sorting, no weighting, just load and go! I use them in PRS and in other local matches. I will be using them this year at EBR as well. IMPACT!!

The cost is definitely 100% justified with results like that. Pretty awesome stuff.

Ran the 40 grain 22's in my Vulcan and made it to the finals with no problem in Oregon. Now if I could just find some more of the 40 grain 22's....

We need to order a whole pallet of them.

In my case the only slugs that give more precision are the custom swaged slugs I make for my Thomas HPX(when its tuned correctly) but the G1 BC is .142 so they blow in the wind more as distance increases and at some point the Altaros stay on steel better. The .245 G1 BC of the 25 cal Queens does amazingly well way out there. Also when it's windy they stay on steel better than my 22rf. 22rf has a .16 G1 BC and that's much of the reason.

Altaros has most definitely made a massively huge contribution to the airgun community and I'm very thankful!

Exactly... And for some reason at Oregon, I was getting 0.270 G1 with the .25 @Altaros 60 grain Queens... When we shot the 100Y BR Slug it was almost too easy, even with swirling winds 8 to 15 mph. I know it was that high since my first couple of shots at 250 and 300 yards on the Long-Range Challenge, the slug hit high in the white above the red (my dope called for 0.245 G1)... I was in contention, but my Skout Evo broke with 8 shots remaining. (the cocking handle pin that moves the cocking plate attached to the pellet probe came loose and dropped into the lower part of the gun.) Easy fix, but not while on the line...
