This project has been a long time in the making and Utah Airguns and AirMarksman just changed our sport!

1 question.
What is the overall length?/ will they play nice in fx mags without cover changes since the ogive is shorter?

That is one of the coolest features of these slugs. They fit perfectly in the FX King / Dynamic / Panthera magazines.

It was Altaros who changed the sport with their high BC, round nose slugs. Looks like Utah took notes and developed a similar slug. Nice to see other companies coming out with the round nose design.

Confidently taking credit for other's hard work.
ZAN came out with the ELR slugs, but they didn't say "WE DID IT", they just said: "we're trying to make it more affordable..." As Altaros is super expensive(rightfully).
But competition is always great.

Nothing sells like excited hyperbole. Will test the .25s when they come out.
I wonder when they're going to move to faster twist barrels. We experimented with subsonic-launched heavy Sierra Matchkings back on the 90s. 77g, .22cal MKs look like needles, buck the wind crazily. Can't really do needles with pure lead...but better nose profiles have been done (better bc than blunts).
Of course, people have created some crazy experimental slugs. I have one that is two-piece. The nose is stiff alloy (bore riding) and the base (groove dia) is pure lead. Impractical but fun!

The first Altoro slugs had a very similar profile to the mp mold round nose boattails that had been designed for some early model of Huben. I always felt like that might be the original for that basic profile

Sounds pretty cool even though I don’t shoot slugs. I’m waiting for the more precise accuracy and tech data video. For me that one was just 35 minutes of prairie dog smacking, which is awesome but lots of slugs can do that.
