I been reading fellow forums members experiences with slugs and have to admit it is exciting times in the PCP world. Come the warmer weather, I plan to try some yet to be determined .22 slugs. I believe I understand that the faster, within reason you shoot slugs, the better the accuracy? This question is for those of you who pest or hunt with .22 slugs, using PCPs in the 30-32 FPE range. What about shooting in barns, around equipment, in stalls, etc? Meaning closer in, sub-forty yard targets of opportunity, sparrow here, starling there, rat in the feed? Do you have a dedicated slug shooter? Are you using slugs and pellets interchangeably in the same gun? Or, do you bring a pellet shooter as well? Trying to figure out my approach. In warmer months my Bantam sends the JSB 18s at 890 FPS avg. for 14 FPE at 100 yards. If I can get the JSB .22 Cal, 25.39 gr. to 800 FPS for 20 FPE at 100 yards with good accuracy, I would be happy. But I would like to try lighter slugs for the fun of it. Any insights would be appreciated. At one particular dairy I can set up for 100 yard shots on pigeons. They won’t let me get closer they sit on the wire across a corn field. Other than that 90% of my opportunities are sub-sixty yards. TIA for your thoughts.
