Has anyone tried Slugs I can't find any info about this. I have a Leshiy Classic in .25 cal with a Huma Regulator and a 350mm Barrel. Looking for FPS, Reg setting, Type of Slugs and any other pertinent Information. I had the Drozd extra air tank mod on it but got tired of chasing the slow leak (about 5 Bar per day) so I went back to the original configuration Thanks Keith
Edgun Leshiy Classic and Slugs
- Thread starter shortfuse
- Start date
Mine works well with the NSA 26.8 with the reg set at 155 , leaving the barrel at just over 900 FPS. Had to relearn how to hold the gun before I realized it was grouping.

Thank You
The Leshiy is already jumpy gun when you start pushing pellets over 700fps. When I tested slugs in the 250 and 350mm barrels in .22, the gun got worse. I then figured I would try .177 slugs so I made a .177 barrel. What I found was two things. Pressing slugs into the factory Leshiy barrels was difficult but I didn’t want to alter the leade/chamber on such good pellet shooting barrels. On the .177, I cut the leade to accept slugs so loading wasn’t bad. The real problem was how angry the gun was. It didn’t matter the caliber, the gun was just hard to shoot. It was no longer a PCP, it behaved like I magnum springer like you would buy from Walmart. Just not worth it. The little guy just doesn’t have enough meat on its bones to handle the harmonics of pushing a slug. I switched to PCP’s to enjoy calm guns and crosshairs that don’t move during the follow through of a slow firing cycle airgun. The Leshiy already struggles with this, pushing slugs makes it worse.

Had a sample pack of NSAs so I tried to load a 26.8 gr and I couldn’t get it all the way into the breach it was too fat

Sounds like the same issue I had with my Uragan. I smoothed the entry of the rifling and it became smooth as glass. No difference in accuracy with pellets, but slugs became very accurate.

This rifle shoots Hades Pellets so well I don't want to do anything to the barrel that might jeopardize the way it shoots pellets right now

I might set my leshiy up for .177 slugs. Currently shooting 13 grain JSBs at 842fps with the 250mm barrel. Also im a bit curious at to why some call the Leshiy jumpy. Even when I run the .22 barrel and push just about the 900fps range with the 250mm barrel and pollymags I have no issues.

I don't find mine jumpy shooting Hades in the 850s it is close to the not backyard friendly area though

Also thinking of jumping up to 30 cal or 9mm any info on how many shots per fill and FPS and FPE info would be great

Where are you finding those barrels? I’ve looked and can’t find the .30 or .35 leshiy barrels any more!

I gave up trying to find them I sold that gun after getting a Leshiy 2 was able to get a 30 cal barrel for it

I picked up a .25 barrel (350mm from Airgun Heaven) and will have some NSAs on order shortly for my Leshiy classic.
Here's to hoping it can handle/load/shoot the 26.8s the way it enjoyed the NSA 17.5s and 20.2s in the old .22 350mm barrel. I've shot the .22 NSAs out to 60 yards, and accuracy is well above "keep me happy". For reference, I am using the Huma plenum, and tuning is slow by most folk's standard- right at 700 FPS. I know what some are thinking, "why?"... but most of my shooting now is in WV looking out over Canaan Valley, and the EdGun domes and JSB Hades- as good as they are- don't buck the updrafting as well as the NSAs. I chose a bit more loop with greater shot-count since I no longer have squirrels to contend with.
Mygirlfriend fiancé used the last of my previous 26.8 .25 NSAs in the Lelya 2.0 and all I can say is accuracy wasn't quite at JSB Hades shooting to zero the scope, but over the range in the 50-60 yard shots were point and click. If you're shooting into or across the wind, nothing touches the NSAs. Lelya tuned at 830 with the Hades, I never put the .25 NSAs over my Caldwell.
RE: Airgun Heaven: yep, they ship to the US. They don't ship as fast as Krale, but well-protected/packaged. Very easy to do business with.
