Today I grabbed my Airgun Revisions tuned Akela .177 and headed for the bench (picnic table) with a tin of JSB Knock Out Mk3. Being tuned for HFT and AA 10.3 gr pellets I was curious if it would shoot slugs accurately. The transfer port was about 3/4 open for the pellets. I opened it all the way for the added drag of the slugs. With the improved air flow thanks to the installed SSG hammer from AR and tuned by Rich I didn’t mess with anything internal. Just the TP. Well, I got my answer pretty quickly.
She’s a straight shooter!!! With a 30 yard zero (it’s a .177 after all) it still maintains enough energy and nearly identical hold out to 50 yards. I’ve never had a slug shooting small caliber, but now I can’t say that, and I’m very happy about it. Oh yah, that’s 30 shots through the target. Also, only used the Caldwell bag with no rear support. I imagine it would do even better with a rear support, but that’s now how this will be employed out pesting.
