Anyone has tried H&N Pilledrivers on FX Impact slug and pellet barrels ?

Hello

I have tried some H&N Pilledrivers on my FX Impact X in .22 caliber and 700mm barrel at 920 FT/s and the initial results are good.

Later I'll post some pics but I would like to know if somebody has tried that. The BC on this "slugs" are very impressive.

What is the BC of piledrivers?

Speed? accuracy? Liner ?

What is the BC of piledrivers?

Its listed on H&N's site as 0.095

And HAM has them at 0.083 on their list of BC's, although i'm not sure how well they shoot out of a normal ST barreled impact, so their reading might be affected by instability etc I suppose

That's way behind slugs, a VK 22.5 hp has a BC of .121

Yes But Nielsen 30gr Slugs are listed with BC .078., behind the pilledrivers. The question is, will the pilledrivers shoot well on slug liners ?

Might depend in the distance used to calculate the average BC. For instance, the VK 28gr HP slugs calculate at .12 out to 100yds but only .078 at 200yds.

Strange ! Maybe the best would be an average value of 0.099 ?

However, with the H&N Piledrivers I got the worst groups in any 0.22 gun I own. FX Impact, Huben, SPA, Hatsan, AA … no way. Piledrivers are dangerous because they will fly in ANY direction and I own still 6 tins Piledrivers ...

I purchased 1 tin each .22 pile drivers and rabbit magnums to test for us in my 700mm impact slug barrel. Both H&N products were as bad as it gets. Regulator just under 125bar, the pile drivers went 910 fps, the rabbit magnums went 955 fps and the VK 24gn went 970. Five pile drivers and four rabbit magnums were fired at the center of the bottom target with three pile drivers and one rabbit magnum missing the paper at 70 yards. No scope adjustments and the aim point was the same for all H&N. Both H&N products fit very tight in the chamber requiring several times more force to close the lever than normal. The pile drivers prevented the magazine from advancing consistently.

The cardboard with the two targets on it was turned bottom to top before shooting the VK slugs because my backstop is only the size of one target.

The first ten VK slugs were fired at the center of the top target in this pic. I guess the H&Ns fouled the barrel because nothing was changed for the next two 5 shot groups, top left and top right. Then it started raining so I quit. Now I have two tins of paper weights.

Rabbits suck on all liners, I got one stuck on the pellet liner a. 

Thanks for testing h-i 

Guess until slugs came from h&n almost nothing shoots as good as jsb on pellet liner. Slugs should work.
