Sorry for neglecting this thread ...
After getting some of the production NSA slugs and testing them in the TJ barrel .... FAILURE the slugs unlike the heavy pellets shoot like crap.
This confirmed by another owner of a TJ .177 barrel whom also tried shooting slugs threw it ... Yuck.
So for this TJ's it is an awesome .177 heavy pellet ONLY shooter. Slugs are going to need testing in another gun where they can be run threw an LW barrel.
YUP ... Smoken accurate are the NSA .177 slugs threw an LW standard w/ choke.
Did a temp retrofit of the JSAR Raptor back to OEM specs and fitted the LW .177 barrel ...... SMOKEN !!!
As it sits now ( October 2020 ) the Bottlerauder sports a .22 caliber HW barrel and found sweet spot @ 48 FPE with 23/24.8 weight NSA's
My WARP carbine sits as a .30 cal running @ 80 fpe with 44's
Raptor mini will get the .177 LW barrel fitted again after the FT season is over this fall. BTW like the 12.5 & 15's @ 28-29 fpe ( 1040 - 960 fps )
That's all folks ...
