Pellets Vs Slugs -- Is It Worth It Video ?
- Thread starter Shooting Targets
- Start date
I do a lot of pesting at dairies, and the risk of collateral damage is too high to chance using slugs. My guns are pretty consistent with pellets out to 75-80 range, if the there isn't too much wind.

Yes by no means am I bashing slugs but I feel many new shooters might thing that it is the best way to go. Much like you see the need for pellets. Thanks for chatting in.

Another consideration. I can’t find JSB pellets anywhere for .22 or .25. But Nielsen slugs are readily available.
For the tinkerers that like to push the limit, slug shooting seems to be more fun and more exciting. No risk no reward I guess. But if you just want to grab something and hit targets within 100 yards, pellets are way better.

pellet a 100 mt en .22 se me hace difícil acertarle a una presa y, lo más importante, matarla........no así con pellet de .25 y .30....hasta 115 mt el matado palomas en .25 con viento (vivo en la costa)....por el contrario......con slugs hasta 150 es fácil acertar y matar humanamente.

I got JSBs from Pyramyd Air in both .22 and .25. They arrived very well packed and if you buy 3 tins you get your 4th tin for free.

I agree. I'll even add the barrel tends to get dirty/fouled much quicker. I find that a big pain in itself. Depending on barrel also you lose efficiency due to the higher friction in bore compared to pellets. So can take more air to get a slug to shoot at say 40fpe compared to a pellet.
Now price I find the FX Hybrids to be outrageous. You can get NSAs for prices much more comparable to pellets in the 5-6¢ range.
I only use slugs in windy conditions. Otherwise not worth it to me.

Shooting .177 slugs in my Daystate Red Wolf, Daystate Delta Wolf and my RTI Prophet Performance with very good results at long distance 
Price is the same as pellets, so it really makes no difference.
I also enjoy shooting pellets at more easy going power levels with a lot better shot count for sure
