Ok for you FX Impact 22 Cal Owners
At what weight projectile (generally) do you need to switch to a Slug/heavy liner ?
Thanks

My son and his GF both are shooting 23gr varmint knokrrs and Neilson. 2 consecutive 148 yard shots on pigeons yesterday. Has gone down to 21 gr as well. One can keep costs in check as ligbter slugs are cheaper. Will get my barrel for a Crown Monday 500mm and my M3 in Month or so hope hope hope.

If you don’t care to shoot pellets at 900 FPS or want to only shoot slugs then go heavy regardless of slug weight. My impact in .25 will not be shooting pellets at all so it has a heavy and shoot all slugs I put in it well. In .22 I’m tempted to go with heavy but I do occasionally shoot pellets so sticking with superior for now, might go heavy in the 600mm barrel and stay with superior in 500mm. I won’t go heavier than 23 grain slugs in my .22 superior though.

Superior standard up to 30gr h&n. Heavy for slugs and standard for pellets is more like marketing stuff, you have to try every slug with each barrel and you will see what I mean. Some light weight slugs work better with heavy than standard and the opposite is true here. 30gr h&n works like dream with superior standard, half moa to three quarters all day.

Yes figured I would need to try most projectiles in both liners but also wanted to see if there might be general pattern to weight distribution verses liner to help cut some of the testing down.
Many thanks for all the responses

My 700mm .22 superior liner work fine with 25 grain JSB knockouts .217. I do have a superior heavy liner also, but have not tested it yet, so can not say if it is better for the same slugs.

I have the superior heavy in my .22, and LOVE it. The lightest slug I shoot is the 24.8 grain NSA, and it does just as well as the 31.2 grain NSA. It also shoots 36 grain Griffin slugs very well. It is about 1/2 MOA accurate with those at 100 in what little testing I've done. I generally shoot the NSA 31.2 grain in mine, and it does prefer .218 in my case. I don't shoot pellets at all, so the heavy only makes sense for me. If you're one of the folks that follows the twist calculators religiously, then the heavy is for you as well.
