Any Fx Impact X Mk2 Owners Shooting slugs

[RonT]

I would like to shoot slugs from my Impact Mk2 .25 600mm barrel 

but would like to know how slugs perform from a stock Impact Mk2?

Any information is appreciated

They don't perform well at all in the stock MKII liner. If you want to shoot slugs, spend $109 and get a slug liner, you'll be glad you did!

Thanks Stoti, any idea where to buy these liners? 

Also what are the advantages?

I was going to say the same thing as stoti but I have a Mark1. All of the dealers I checked with, and that was many, were out of stock on the .25 600mm slug liner A which is the one you want if your gun has the 600mm barrel.

http://penchetta.com/fx-stx-slug-liner-a-25-cal-600mm/ May have one they don't say out of stock .

I wish you luck. Don't forget you need to tune the gun for the slugs to group well and it may take a few hundred rounds to get the harmonic tune just right so buy lots-o-slugs. The NSA and VarmintKnocker slugs group outstanding with the slug barrels. Dealers with slugs that werq well with the FX liners will usually say" for FX slug liners".

Advantages are greater FPE at medium to long range, greater expansion of hollow points, half the windage correction of pellets, and excellent performance at ridiculous ranges. Slugs will usually outperform pellets in every way from 100yards and beyond.

As above don't just expect to buy a slug liner and shoot slugs from shot 1!

Some experimenting is still needed to match the slug ot the liner, it can be an expensive and time consuming (and frustrating) task.

Nice informative write up. But, I think I would have said "Slugs can outperform pellets in every way from 0 yards and beyond." 

Just my experience with the right slug.

RonT, have you tried Uhta air guns? I got mine there when I bought my Dreamline .25 600mm tactical. 600mm slug a liner. It also shoots pellets very well. Dave

I bought mine from Straight Shooters. Craig there sent me an invoice as soon as they were in stock, delivered 4 days later.

I've tried slugs in my Impact. The groups are 50 percent larger than those using pellets. I guess if you want to use slugs, you have to buy the slug barrel. I don't need one.

Seems most still think pellets have an advantage at shorter ranges (50 yards?) while slugs should have an advantage at longer ranges if your gun can power them.

 

[stoti]

Yeah, not really even a comparison for me. Pellets are way more accurate inside 50yds and on a very calm day probably to 75. I find slugs shine in the wind or from 75yds on out. Actually on a calm day, probably more like 100yds.

Thanks Bob-O, lots of great information now the problem is finding a slug liner.

One thing about the .25 slug liners is that if you get tired of trying to get slugs to shoot well, they shoot JSB king heavy MKIIs really well at about 890fps. This 10 shot group was shot resting on the bed side side of my truck at 61yds and I am by no means the worlds greatest shooter. I can only imagine it would only get better from a bench.

I just listed a slug liner in .22 cal with accessories if that caliber interests you. The liner is the way to go.
