Nice shooting! The akela doesn't like HN slugs from what I have found, NSA would cut your groups in half and so would VK slugs! My best groups with them has been .5" at 50yds for 7 shots with wind, not sure how fast though. Griffins are also really good, particularly the 13gr and 16gr

thanks, the akela is surprisingly accurate with a good amount of shots available after springs are cut per @EPG recommendation. i’ll have to try the nsa next time. i’m still wary of ordering nsa since this debacle

having to pick all these slivers off the slugs tips is no bueno.. this is from only one box of 300 slugs. 17.5gr from AOA.

I would order directly from NSA rather than AOA if you were to buy them.

yeah, might have to do that from now on
