Question about slugs for .22

[olde grunt]

I recently read about .22 slugs and I have a question about thier use.
Are these for use in springers or just pcp. And if you can use them in springers what specs would an air rifle have to have to be able to use them?

I think you would need a pretty high power springer to use slugs.

Lots if friction on a slug, I think they will jam in a springer.

Good to know.. the gamo says 1000 fps with allow pellets, wish they would make a more ballistic shaped pellet that works with same accuracy as the 17hmr..

Depends on the rifle and the slug. I have shot some lighter weight slugs through springers before and they work great. Just be ready to push the slug out if it gets stuck

Sorry, I was thinking about the anemic springers, try one and see?

I swaged some 23 grain slugs and shot them in my Gammo Fusion. They worked fine just not real fast! But they took out cottontail in the garden just fine!
