Just a little FYI.
So i ran some of the 13 grain slugs thru my 700 mm Maverick yesterday, and i was very encouraged by what i saw shooting 90 M, and that i have ordered 10 boxes in only a good thing, i think 13 grain is what i will shoot in bulk with a few 16 on the side.
Basically even with just a half decent tune, hitting a golf ball sized target at 90 M are no big deal, it seemed to me a speed around 900 FPS was preferred.
I then proceeded to test the 20 grain ones, but here i ran into problems, while the slugs fit fine on the magazine of the Maverick, then i saw jam after jam and in the end turned to single loading which without owning a tray for that is kinda problematic.
So i did not get around to shoot those much and i only got to speeds a little over 800 FPS and i think that is a little low, so will have to get back to you on those.
Clearly i will have to up my REG pressure from the 100 BAR i am at now, but that will have to wait until i have also tested the 16 grains ones, which i am told by GLS that they have just shipped off to me from Huma.
On a side note the 10 grain KO slugs my maverick absolutely did not like in its stock 600 mm configuration, well with the 700 MM barrel, shooting the last 2 tins i have of those will be quite enjoyable,,,,,, not being locked into fire those off in the Vulcan 3 alone is nice.
Dident get around to snapping some pictures as i was also bridge building,,,,, literally, building a bridge for the G scale model railroad also in the field we frolic around on.
You know having a good time before it is too late for guys at our age and health.
Come weekend there will be more shooting, though again it seem like i will have to share the general area with 10 or so 23 - 30 CC RC cars, so the audio track will again be " chanisaw mayhem "
