l am expecting a new EDgun r5m in .22cal next week, I would like to know if anyone has any luck with slugs? If so what slugs work the best?
I have a Matador R5M in 22. It does shoot Nielsen Specialty Ammo 217 slugs in 27.5 grain well. Just a little to the right from my pellets. I have only dialed them out to 30 yards and have not attempted further yet.

The problem isn't that the slugs won't shoot well so far. It's that the magazines are not designed to hold the slugs and even if I push them in further the slugs have a tendency to wiggle loose and cause feeding issues or just fall out on their own.
Therefore, what you may want is a single shot tray or loader. I have seen 2 models on the web but only was able to purchase one from Huma Air. It was tricky because their website would not load the page for the product when I clicked on the link to drill down into the details. But I still was able to order if I did a search for "edgun" then selected order among the many products.
