Ah, that makes sense. Either way it's great. More advancement of projectiles in air guns is great. Thanks

FX Halo Ammunition - Say Goodbye To Pellets
- Thread starter FX-USA
- Start date
Yeah, should be decent for small game and pesting with some good expansion. I'd probably skip it on larger critters as the penetration will be lacking.

Haven't tried hunting anything yet with my Impact M3 but I've only been shooting pellets so far. I've got Zan slugs on the way. I'll tune it for that and then maybe do a bit of hunting. Got a few bunnies out back that need some lead

It might get traction in .35 figure lower weight lower power higher BC ... has some interesting considerations to be looked at ( kind of like a .45 ACP 180gn slow projectile vs .45 230gn )

that is a epic observation with the new M3 line they could all but drop a paper with "tuned settings" per weapon ( self serving purpose ) sell the ammo and upsell the new platform ( this will also antiquate past models which they could eventually End of life ) Grand marketing and Logistical tactic. Hats off to them

Could open up a whole new category pellets slugs and ( other )The good thing is that with pellets now being obsolete there won’t be any good reason to hold 100y shooting contests with the low BC turds, anymore. I would expect RMAC to change the format to slugs only for next year. Lol

the only thing wrong is that every product fx comes up with you can't get for a couple years, just finally able to get .35 cal hybrids in the states, still looking for in barrel chronograph with display. anyone know where they sell this add on in the states?

Just in time only works when you have complete control over your product from raw materials to final inspection, when the company I work for out sourced all manufacturing and became just an assembly line our on time delivery fell by half while we waited for some other company to make our parts. What money was saved to out sourcing was lost paying people to stand around doing nothing while waiting for parts, and then paying overtime to try and meet schedules when they finally came in. Funny my company out sourced most work to Russia ,now their running around like chickens with heads cut off trying to bring the work back but the Russians won’t give back the millions in tooling we sent over to build the parts .

I have seen things here in Denmark getting outsourced to say Poland, only to be back sourced in a few years.
One example i have was harvester parts, which was made in Poland then driven to Denmark for me to paint, and then off to ??? for assembly.
Often though i had to turn back parts, as there was many things missing on them, so bad i dident even need the drawings of the parts to tell " something is wrong here "
So back to Poland.
Clearly there have been a huge lapse of intelligence, with people doing anything / getting dependant on anything from Russia, i mean come on the mad dog leader over there, he is not a new thing, and even before him with Jeltzin the path for Russia was clear, IE the wild wild east.
I was in Russia ( that be still at the time soviet Russia ) in 1990, actually in Odesa, and unloading our huge tanker off gasoline,,,,,,, OMG on a level Danish politicians will have to push harder to reach, even if most things here are OMG as it is.
Took abouty a week to empty the ship, when if all PRO on the reciving end and all out pumops going we could empty the ship in 8 hours,,,,,, though i must say i have never seen that, even at HUGE refineries where you could not see anything other than refinery as far as your eye can see.

This is a worldwide ( business... )
Keep in mind Fx anything will be MFG by JSB ( if it is ammo ... ) to date as there is too much money to be lost if they anger JSB
How many MFG for airgun ammo are now arising?
now we have a Serbian Ammo MFG in the game...
The cogs are many but the winding ( partially different )
I guarantee the "timing" will still be the same
add some secret sauce "like apple" [loosely {developed in sweden} like the packaging graphics]
Trust me I get it after 35 years in Tech "Asia based"
I hated going to specific countries because each had their *catch*
India wanted everything for COST
China wanted to steal the tech
Malaysia expected forever Professional services
Indonesia required bribes or gifts
The examples go on...
Now USA currently is in a tech crunch because of this 24 years outsourcing to WiPro in india BPO has dropped Tech prices, but also the Quality of tech you could acquire and that is just one example....
Every day the world gets smaller. but it does not mean it is getting better...
Just a bit of reference in the real world ... eventually you will have quality of the same range as Swedish FX/JSB ammo stateside or in your home country just due to the "strife" or need not always because others catch on, but because the quality of what is produced will begin to fail being quality.
Just my .02 cents

When these new FX slugs hit the market, JSB will shut it doors. What would be the point to continue making pellets when these new slugs will make pellets obsolete. When JSB shuts its doors..there will be a domino effect and ALL pellets manufacturers will follow suit...because pellets will no longer be need or wanted...because they will all be obsolete...thanks to FX's new slugs.

There is one concern there... let us just whisper for a moment
If JSB ( which currently makes the ogive hybrids and pellets .. ) they have the mfg and the tooling ( plus they also have a cheaper labor force ) these are things which will ensure their doors stay open remember all those other weapons to date which cannot fire slugs.
Plus that would mean FX has been building a secret MFG plant in the ( climate change capital of the world with Gretas Thunbergs approval ) <--- which I highly doubt.
Need and want are always offset by price and function.. if I am punching paper I would be more open to pay 3.~5 cents a round vs 20 to 25... remember if I am going to pay that much I will burn powder.
Air makes sense as long as the prices and primers keep going up...
When slugs or whatever is next hit .25 cents a round hell I may just start rolling my own like I have for powder burners the past 4 decades..

Any word on when these will be available? Coming up on a month since you brought this to our attention. Just trying to gauge what FX’s definition of soon is…

Or your choice of ammoThe good thing is that with pellets now being obsolete there won’t be any good reason to hold 100y shooting contests with the low BC turds, anymore. I would expect RMAC to change the format to slugs only for next year. Lol

@douger you need to put a @ in front of the username, that why the user get notified that you have mentioned him / her when they log on next time.
Just like i just did with you here.
It is more convenient, not least with prolific posters that have a lot of things going, after i while such users can barely keep up with them self.
