H&N slugs in .25 cal?

[tigerhunter]

Does anyone know if h&n are going to offer to .25 slugs the way they did the .22 slugs or are they just sticking with the grizzly for the .25 Cal?

My Airwolf hates the Grizzlies but it is shooting the FX slugs pretty reasonably so I am patiently waiting for the new jsb slugs and hopefully new H&N slugs to try.

Who am I kidding I don't do anything patiently

The Grizzlies are hardly slugs too, more of a hybrid with a small length (I don’t think their total penetration is very good based on their length). I like H&N in general though, so I too wish they came out with slugs also.

I just got a batch of H&N .25 slugs to test, 5 weights upto 41g and the new "black" coating, hope to try them shortly as just finished testing the JSB KO's in .25!

I did some initial velocity testing with the REDWOLF on HP, the slugs returned the following figures.

28g 1020 FPS

33g 970 FPS

35g 940 FPS

37g 920 FPS

41g 880 FPS

For reference the 34g JSB MKII Heavy pellet gives 920 & the 25g KING pellet gives 1030 with this particular Redwolf.

Will do the first tests on paper tonight!

These weights are different from what I have seen . 28 , 30 ,32 ,34 and 36 are the ones I have seen

Yes correct I had an email from Jorg this evening and 6.34 diameter .2495" have been released in those weights, the 6.36 2.505" are not yet released and will be 6.36 to suit the Redwolf, all I can say is once you condition the barrel for the coating by shooting a few dozen the groups are amazing in the Redwolf HP or SAFARI!
