If they had used burly and manly Danish sub contractors they would be shipping now, but Oooo no the trolls living in the mountains have to do it themself.

FX Halo Ammunition - Say Goodbye To Pellets
- Thread starter FX-USA
- Start date
I think maybe they did some test run,,,, probably at / with patriot, and only then pulled the trigger on the actual manufacturing equipment and associated tools.
I wonder when we will get home EDM machines ALA 3D printers ASO

So we are still on track for 2024!!
Maybe by the start of the '23-'24 squirrel season? Bet they can knock down some tree rats. Rmr has some that are very similar in concept to the halo, especially the .35 cal. Do like the name they coined for theirs. Before Michael's post I thought they could be the mystery supplier, as the .35 looks pretty darn close to the halo pics. Spendy beasts to try in min quantities of 500 tho (and well above the normal range of price per round).

I certainly have…it’s getting bad enough that the guys I shoot with are all looking into buying a swage press together as like a “club investment”. Like everything else, the price just keeps on climbing.

I saw a YT video with some British guy shooting a .30 Phanthera,,,, using some slugs he could not mention just yet.
Any bets on those would be Halos.
Strange thing though,,,, at first he shot pellets,,,,,,, okay i suppose you could try that with a rifle 100 % slug made

Well if your thinking like FX...first it has to be announce that you have the next best thing to sliced bread... You know you see if there is any interest... If there is then the design work starts... Then testing... If it doesn't work out... Just ignore you ever said anything.

I'm a bit surprised there was no mention from FX during SHOT Show 2023 concerning the Halo slugs and a release date. To my knowledge there are some of the 'airgun' elite already testing and teasing about this new slug.

well they pushed it 6 months ago, so why not push it even harder now that it is ( supposedly ) just about ready.
That is kind of a surprise to me.
Have they learned something ?
Time will tell.
I have often seen companied blame the Corona thing, and sure it did throw a spanner in just about any gearbox out there, but i feel any responsible company or other entity should then have come out pretty soon and say " Hey this Corona thing are messing things up for us, so all our announcements and plans are now in free fall "
That i would have been able to understand just fine.
But in all fairness that did not happen in any company or other entity that i am aware off.

Only reason I'm interested is if they come out with something in .177 like they said they would for the FX Hybrids. Not holding my breath.

.177 or bust.
Even if they had done .177 hybrids, with the price they would have i would not be shooting those, CUZ lats face it Hybrids in any caliber are not OMG better than alternatives.

Thing that keeps me on my seat is the fact they’re mKing them in similar weights as pellets. This appeals to me for my guns that shoot lighter stuff. Also the quality control in pellets lately has been sub par, and it would be nice to have another option.
I recently ordered some 20.2 nsa slugs to try in my crown and see if I can get similar accuracy to the 18gn jsb’s I set it up for.

Hybrids are expensive. I would if I could, but you encroach the cost of powder burner ammo at that point. These halo’s are supposed to be priced like pellets.

It is my understanding the Hybrids are 2 - 3 operation slugs, NSA / JSB / ZAN are my understanding they are 1 punch / operation ammo.
So it make sense if you have to run them thru a machine 2-3 times, then it got to be more expensive.
