EDgun Question: Edgun Leshiy 2 Magazines 30 cal Red 7.62 Ammo Compatibility

[RobertNoPest]

I bought these three genuine, beautiful red Edgun magazines abroad. They are ostensibly 30 cal / 7.62 mm. They are supposed to be for slugs I suppose, as there is an "s" engraved with the 7.62 (see pic). NSA slugs and Diablo Exact pellets fit perfectly in my other two Edgun magazines, which are all black. Neither of these fit in these spiffy red magazines -- ammo is too big for it.

Do you suppose these are ammo specific magazines? I will be selling all three, if they are. All three are brand new, unused. They were PRICEY.

Interesting . . .

A buddy just rang me and said these are for .300 diameter slugs only. My NSA boxes say .300/.303. I suppose I will be ordering some .300 slugs. Thanks buddy! I suppose this thread can be closed, but I would be happy to update when I am sure he's right.

Yes, the "S" designates slug magazine. I don't have a measurement but the diameter is smaller as you've already learned. Referencing The Pellet Shop page for Nielsen 30 cal slugs, .303 are recommended for the non slug mags. .300 are recommended for the slug mags.

Lots of .300 slugs to choose from out there. I just went for something randomly, no research. If you have some fave slugs for a .30 cal Edgun Leshiy 2, please post and I will try those as well.

 

[RobertNoPest]

(I have lots of .303 NSA slugs because they grouped the best with our Kalibrgun Argus 60. Nothing was close, so I bought six boxes.)

@RobertNoPest, LIkewise. I don't have any .300 slugs, so I can't verify anything. I do have red mags that I suspect are slug magazines as well, but they are unmarked and might be older versions. They do not fit .303 Nielsen slugs. JSB Diabolos are also a very tight fit. JSB Hades do drop right in, however. Do you have any similar pellets that you can try?

I have quite a pellet collection, but most of them are other than .30 cal. Nice that airgun ammunition is cheap! My 45-70 ammo is about two bucks a round . . .

Also, I am absolutely going to attempt to shoot pellets out of these "slug" mags.

Likewise, I seem to have more .25 than .30 selection. I'll place an order when I get around to it.

45-70 cost more, but your shoulder keeps you in check.
