I have had my M3 22 tuned to shoot Zan 23 gr .218 slugs and it really likes them. Other light for caliber slugs in .217 did not shoot so well.
I was working on light slugs to increase expansion and maintain a decent shot count.
Yesterday I find around 300 NSA .218 27.5’s in the projectile graveyard. They were left over from my Maverick Sniper. I assumed the liner just did not lIke .217 slugs. Took them to the ranch, quick tune and they are doing 970-972 consistently. Shot a couple groups at 35 due to wind and they shot every bot as good as the .217 Zan 23 gr. Then took the gun down to the 100 and 150 berm and they shot very well.
Why would the gun not like .217 in light slugs but shoot a heavier slug well in .217? Did I miss something in YouTube slug school?
