RAW owners - Are you shooting slugs with HM1000x HP .22?

[tommyb]

My RAW shoots the JSB 25.39g very well and I believe it was tuned and designed for this pellet. I had some initial accuracy issues and I sent it back to SPAW and Martin to do some barrel and crown work. It shoots 950 FPS average and is excellent at 50 and 75 yards, and pretty good at 100 yards. I'm sure the gun can shoot a whole lot better at 100, it's me that needs to learn how to shoot better. 

My questions: I'm curious to know if other RAW .22 HP shooters are trying out various slugs. If so, I would like to know some details. i.e., what brand, weight, velocity, what distance for target shooting. Also, did you have to buy an FX liner and use with your Poly barrel? If you did have to make some power changes and/or reg changes please detail those as well.

Thanks, Tom

I too would be interested in this. I received exactly same tune 22 from Martin as you have. I plan to order sample pack from Nielsen and do accuracy test at 50 and 100.

Have not had a chance to do it yet, would be interested to hear from anyone who tried it.

Thanks Vasyl. Just ordered my .22 cal sampler pack. We should compare notes over the next several weeks.

Side question in addition to my original on slugs. Does anyone shoot the JSB 34 grain with the RAW HM1000x HP .22? I know the velocity will drop considerably, was just curious if there is any user experience with this pellet. tx, tom
