Pellets and slugs from the same gun and barrel at 100

[manabeknives]

Just Awesome!
After you get these kind of results, will adding a stripper be an aid, or just bling?
Luv the Thic barrel!

That's incredible, Mike. You are probably the first to develop a gun/barrel combination that shoots both projectiles equally.

Ok, I guess that answers my previous (post) question. Thanks.

Wow that is neat shooting both projectiles so precisely!

After someone else noticed I see that the trigger is pretty "screwy" looking

Tough crowd here ....lol

The former slug guns were .223. This is .218....so pellets can be shot too.

I'll definitely be trying a tuner/brake.

Now I get it. Thanks for clarifying.

Is that air cylinder the same size as current HPX guns? About how many shots from one fill? Are the .218 slugs you made or a manufactured slug?
Any chance you might try the FX 25.4 pellets in the 350 count tin??

With the crazy wind here in spring...I spend mornings until maybe 11 testing what I need to test outside.

This is the latest pellet/slug Thomas shooting 75 pellets on the top group and 100 slugs on the bottom group....no changes except scope clicks. Monsters at around 980 and my new .218 slugs at 850.

I could shoot the slugs all day long as they are just so predictable and great in the wind.

100 yards

This extends the versatility of this gun tremendously.

This is a tethered gun, Linda. I'll try to figure shot count on the hpx and let you know. I don't have one together right now.

It's just a matter of arranging the import. I don't know the rules of Australia, unfortunately.

Hi Mike,
I will look into this...
A good friend of mine owns "Delta Tactical" here in Aus.... https://www.deltatactical.com.au

I will have a chat with him

Will be in touch..

This is very interesting, and impressive. I never thought that slugs and pellets could both be shot with precision from the same barrel. But, my wife says I'm always wrong, and she usually isn't!

Guess I might be buying my 3rd Thomas...... also this barrel would be awesome on a RAW or a Panthera if you could use the DRS plenum instead of the barrel one. Would be amazing.

 

[Bigfella12]

My Dynamic is shooting those groups all day long with MRDs and slugs are just unbelievably good. My tuning skills are coming along!

Must say you sir are the air rifle king! Amazing now i have to really think about buying 1!
