Jump of. At least in the case of the NSA slugs. I decided to try two different weights in two sizes for my Daystate Air Wolf .22. I didn't know what to expect since this is a stock rifle without the ART polygonal or any other fancy doo-dads. Just straight out of the box.
I set up a target at 30 yards and took five shots each with each pellet and weight. I used the 17.5 gr in .2165 and .217, and also the 20,2 gr in the same diameters. Here are the results.
The .217 (17.5 gr) out performed the .2165 but not by much.
Then it was on to the 20gr. They didn't perform badly, but the 17.5 gr groups were a little tighter.
So I decided to take the 17.5 (.217) out to 50 yards.
I think the results are promising. Since I only got the sampler packs, I intend to purchase more of the 17.5 gr and do some longer distance testing. Also, since I didn't have that many slugs, this was just a test to get them on paper. When I get the others sent, I'll run them over a chrony and see what types of FPS I'm getting.
Thanks Nick for a great product!
So even if you don't have one of those new-fangled guns
, get some slugs and try them out. Shoot straight.
