FX Crown 22 - Prepped to shoot slugs!

[Bob_O]

One mag of the Varmint Knockers. Seems it likes 927fps.....I've never seen so many duplicates!!

927 its your lucky number

Dang. Good numbers. Let us know how they do on paper. Also out of curiosity...at 155 bar with a 22 barrel, about how many shots per fill you getting? 

 

[Bob_O]

Lots less than when I got it!!!

I haven't counted since I went above 140bar....it's not many, 60 max? 

3 mags and I'm looking for air.

4" less drop at 100yds than my previous setup with 18gr pellets.

18gr JSB at 928fps.

23gr NSA at 925 fps.

So 19g would be less than that. OMG Now if I can ever get a slug barrel. lol

 

[DrOcean]

Lol. Still more than me. I’m not going to fool with trying to perfectly tune mine any more until I get an EDMU for my reg. Throwing money through the chrony like I hate it. Guess u understand with slugs. I’m getting almost less than 3 mags at 14 shots each, so 36ish. Eventually would LIKE to get through 3 mags before E.

Those are excellent numbers that your getting

as far as the consistency goes , with a tight fps

spread like that it should translate into accuracy .

Thank you Sir!!

There weren't that many birds on the farms today and it was dang cold so I didn't do any target shooting.

Next time out I will shoot your slugs.......hopefully Thursday.

As I understand it,the ricochet sound occurs when a spinning projectile impacts an object at other than 90 deg and is pushed off its axis on which it is spinning.After impact, the projectile is in effect still spinning but not spinning on it's line of travel. The decrease in the pitch of the ricochet sound from high freq to a lower pitch is due to the decreasing spin rate and velocity .We seldom hear pellets doing it ,but slugs are a spin stabilized projectile .
