Airgun Technologies Vulcan ll .177

[SMH]

You should enjoy ot a ton! I also concur with the accuracy of the NSA 12.5gr, the one thing I will add is that you want to stay with the same lead composition so you don't have to reload your barrel and for that the 13.43gr KO are best if you're trying to shoot in heavy winds.

Do you find that you have to clean the barrel more often shooting the mk3’s? Anymore or any less than pellets?

Yeah the KO MK3 slugs are for sure what i would prefer to shoot in regard to pesting.
Mind you just slinging them at the range, also good fun even if past 100 M they are not as accurate as heavier slugs, but that’s still way out there for the .177 calibre.

clean the barrel more often

I have pug a few 10,000 slugs ( 16 - 13 -10 gr ) through my CZ barrel Two in the past year, and just done regular patch cleaning, but last week i decided to put a ( brass ) brush through the barrel expecting to see a bit of lead come out.
But to my surprise i dident see a single flake of lead

Thing is, they will shoot good at range too, you're not just limited to 50 yards with .177 anymore

I've got a thread for that too!

To be honest, I'm not really sure I ever cleaned the barrel shooting those slugs. 177 in general, when shooting slugs. You want to make sure that you clean the barrel every tin or less. But I never really saw the accuracy diminishing while shooting those. Also, it's typically when you shoot slugs, really fast. When you tend to get more fouling, so if you're going to shoot those slugs around 900 I think that you will be fine.

That’s pretty dang impressive and doesn’t sound any different than cleaning for pellets to me!

Yeah i was a bit amazed i did not see any lead.
It was just on a limb not like i had seem ny shooting deteriorate other than what i can with comfort blame on the wind.

I have shot pretty much all slugs in that period but those 3 weights primarily, even pushed 24 gr Zan slugs over 1000 fps and for the hell of it sometimes after shooting heavy put in a light to hear the super sonic crack.

Normally i " ram " a patch on the end of a CF rod down through my barrel, 5 - 7 of those do the job, it is only at the range i use my DIY pull through with patches on it, CUZ i can not be bothered taking off the barrel at the range for that, but at home i always do that.

I have for a while used 1" patched folded over a few times on a 3 mm CF rod, but i now use a 4 mm CF rod and 3/4" patches not folded over.

BTW later in the year i will modify the tip of my CF ram rod, i feel i can add a little ( spray lacquer or paint ) to get a slightly larger diameter and get tighter fit.
I think + 0,1 - 0.2 mm larger diameter will not harm.

Also ! i will get a box of the Zan painted slugs, but just use them as a shoot to clean solution,,,,,, well at least i hope so, they better not fly a lot better CUZ then my ammo budget go up
