I have the original .30 FX Impact with a Smooth Twist barrel. Is it ok to use slugs?/
Can You Use the FX Smooth Twist Barrel with Slugs/

You can but accuracy won't be there. Get yourself a slug liner. It's only $110. If you can afford a 2k gun I don't see why you can't afford a $110 liner.

Hybrid slugs will shoot ok, but nowhere close to as accurately as pellets. We tried Hybrids last weekend in a .22 Bobcat and they were about 1 to 1.5 inch groups at 50 yards. Pellets (18.1) were 1/2 or less. FYI, the 25.4 RD Monsters were as accurate or even more so than the 18.1s even though we were shooting them at 715 FPS.

Can't get ANY type of slug/hybrid to shoot well out of either of my original Smooth Twist barrels (FX Royale .25 & Boss .30).They're just not designed for them. Don't throw away money trying different types, they do not work. However, the Hades .25 shoot amazingly accurate from my Royale & I have zero concern now over not being able to shoot slugs. Hope MY real world experience saves you some time & money. Happy shooting!

Only tried my 22 streamline and hybrids were the only one that would work. Get 1.5-2 inch groups at 100. Not super accurate but good enough for windy days when pellets have no chance. Otherwise I stick with pellets

I have not had any luck with slugs out of my crown. Thinking of getting a slug liner myself.
