Any chance you could give any info on your calculated arc with these at that speed? Sounds to me like 250mm at 130 bar?

NSA -Leshiy slugs
- Thread starter EDgunWest
- Start date
Waiting on Neilsen to restock the non-L2-specific .25 lighter slugs and then gunna order some of these and some of the normal ones.

Not sure if know but Edgun is now making slug specific magazines which will hold regular .25 and .30 slugs. With the magazines there is no need for the .303 slugs from NSA or AVS; the regular size will now work.

New mags are for smaller dia slugs, standard mags hold larger dia slugs. For example, 0.25 cal as I own, standard mag will use NSA 0.254 Dia slugs. New slug mag hold 0.249 and 0.250 slugs.

I thought this interesting myself. You make a magazine for smaller diameter slugs, but the barrel is still the same diameter. I though that slugging the barrel to find the correct slug fit was a must for accuracy. So explain to me how this is a good thing? Unless they’re planning on coming out with standard sized barrels to match.

Definitely a good point/question. I did purchase one and will see how it does. I previously had the NSA slugs for .303 but the larger slugs wouldn’t fit in the magazine so I had to stick with the lower weight NSA slugs or continue to use AVS, which I did. I will find out shortly…

I would contact Brian at Edgun West. We sent these slugs to Edgun West for testing and fit all the new magazines he sells. Not sure if old mags are different but it is my understanding all new mags use these sizes. We made them based on specs we got from Edgun West. We have had a lot of good feedback for all the new slugs and we get a lot of repeat orders for them.

I got the new slug magazines from EGW yesterday. They fit both the NSA .217 and the .30 cal slugs, just fine. The .30s are a slightly snugger fit, but it was no problem loading them.

Some are LW, some are AP. I haven't tried every combination yet. I have 350mm, 450mm and 600mm in both calibres. I think the 600mm barrels are AP, and the shorter barrels are LW.

Alright. I just thought that Egdunshop Spain has a tech page where .22 caliber AP barrels groove is 5.61mm, i.e. .220
Older magazines cannot fit a .219 diameter slug and if the new magazines are even tighter...
I have a .218.8 diameter slug which I cast and sized myself and they fit in by pressing. The mold was purchased from MP-molds.
Altought I measured the slug diameter with a Mitutoyo caliper so it's not as accurate as measured with a micrometer

I ordered the .303 slugs from NSA, they wont fit in the L2 mag. Any idea why?Nick has decided to run leshiy 2 specific slugs on his high speed presses. No more running out of ammo.. These were tested and a real game changer for the L2

What mags do you have? There are multiple revisions of L2 mags out there. Metal, polymer, coated, non-coated, slug, regular... The NSA .303 slugs will not fit the original red aluminum mags. They fit the newer black polymer mags perfectly (regular mags, NOT slug mags). I know because I have these 2 varieties.
I also have a .25 with black aluminum mags and while the 33.5gr NSA slugs in .254 fit perfectly, the 38.5 grainers are a bit too tight and require some serious convincing to get in. Has anyone tried these in polymer mags? How's the fit?
All NSA slugs deliver great accuracy my Leshiys.
On a related note: I also compared .254 vs .250 and .303 vs .300. Interestingly enough, undersized slugs (.250 and .300) shoot at significantly lower velocities than the versions properly sized for the bore (.254 and .303): I see ~30-40fps differences from 450mm Alfa barrels! NSA clearly recommends .303 and .254 for the L2 for a reason.

They are black aluminum, that measure .303 I.D.. as for other details, coated/ uncoated not sure how to tell. are the different variations of mags notated somehow? How do you know what your getting, what to order.
Incidentally, i have both red and black .22 mags and the .219” slugs fit right in with just enough friction to hold them in place.

You do not, and that's the problem. There are no different part numbers. As a result, the vendors most of the time do not know what they're selling... sometimes they're new, sometimes they're old stock. What contributes to the problem is that teflon coated aluminum mags are hard to tell apart from polymer mags, they feel plasticky and not as cold to the touch as the uncoated metal mags. One sure way to tell is to weigh them.
I guess your best bet is to email Brian @ EGW and specifically ask for a polymer mag before you order.

Yeah the light weight .254s are just as accurate as Kings out of my early model, pellet mag example. Moving pretty slow even, too.
There was no reason for anyone to jump on slug mags IMHO with NSA making this well thought out product. I'd love to try a 28 or 29gr .254......

I really love the knock down power of the NSA .178 20.5 gr slugs!
I just would like to have them fit the Leshiy 2 magazine better.
The .178 slugs are either not quite big enough for the Standard L2 Magazine, as the pellets do protrude out the breech side of the magazine.
Or, the slugs are a bit too big for the L2 Slug Magazine. The slugs can be pushed/forced into the L2 Slug Magazine, but that just feels wrong/seems like a bad practice.
