Want to make my wildcat mkii .25 compact 500mm a slug shooter

Thanks for all the great feedback . I should've mentioned, I took for granted that I would get much better drop and wind bucking than a pellet. So, for those who shoot slugs with a 500mm: how is that comparing to the jsb kings?

I tried 26 NSA out of my 500mm Maverick. Was able to get decent accuracy in the mid 920’s at 50 yards. These were the only slugs I’ve tried and are super finicky out of that 500mm. I mean literally a quarter of a turn on the internal hammer screw took the .75-1” groups to complete un acceptability. Seems it isn’t just about speed but getting the right amount of air behind it. Tad too much and they are unstable. I’m just sticking with pellets. They are so easy. Just land 850-920 and they are super accurate. Only have to work out a match between hammer tension and reg pressure. Much less of a PIA.

At closer distances like 50 yards and closer they are about the same. But slugs will out run the pellets significantly after 80 yards.
