I did a search and didn't find any info on the .22cal HP version and slugs. Has anyone been shooting H&N and/or Nielsen slugs with any success (factory tune)? Thanks in advance.
Red Wolf HP & slugs
- Thread starter Corvid_hunter
- Start date
To date my only success with slugs from my DS RW HP .22 cal has been with the FX Hybrid slugs at ~970 fps at the muzzle.
I plan to do more testing with Griffin Slugs in the next few days.

Basically in nsa .217 and .218 are fine in 20.2 nsa, 24.8 nsa and fx hybrid works ok on my RW HP
I have tested all others but the jsb and is a no go in my barrel.

While I agree with all that has been said above, in terms of the best performing slugs as their results match mine, what isn't said is that at least in my gun at 100 yards, none of them perform any better, if as consistently well, as the 25.89 Monster Redesigned pellets. 95% of the time in my rifle, the pellets at 100 yards still shoot better than any slug I have tried to date, which include almost all of the NSA offerings, Varmint Knockers, and a few others.
Personally, if I were you and based upon my experience, I would save your money, investing it in the redesigned pellets.

The red wolf hp.22cal that I had like nsa 20.2 slugs, on medium power shoots great @920fps and there’s no need to shoot on high. I would get a little more than one hundred shots on medium.

Thanks for the info. I ordered 10 tins of the 25.89 redesigned pellets when I ordered the rifle so they should keep me busy for a while.

In my new Bleu Wolf, the NSA 20.2 at 1050 FPS and the 22 grain FX Hybrid at 1010 FPS shoot almost as good at 50 and 100 yards as the RD Monsters. I think if I slowed down the NSAs to about 1000 FPS they would be more accurate and equal the RDs. I'm waiting to try the heavier NSAs and the JSB Knock Out 25.4 grain and the H&N Sampler pack when they are available or in stock. I agree with the above, if you're shooting 100 yards and in no reason at all to shoot slugs... But further out slugs are the way to go...
