Not an ideal slug barrel, but its a hammer with 34gr mk2 pellets. Its a tj barrel and Ive tried fx 26gr with zero luck. Round holes in the target at 100 yards but its like a shotgun. Anyone using this barrel and slugs?
What .25 slug for no choke 1:22 twist?

I have 3 TJ 1-22" barrels.
They will shoot slugs, but not too well at slow/low power levels.
Under 90 FtLb or about 940 FPS usually not to good.
Crazy as it is a .2475" 50.4gr. @ 940-950 FPS shoots MOA or better out of of my 30" barrel.
The 48.8gr. Scout type slug just might work.

It's always a try it and find out thing. Airguns are too unique in their setup and too sensitive to minor changes to be able to spit out recipes and dogma reliably imho.

That barrel was made to shoot the Wicked Monster slug from 10-12 years ago
it was the best shooting slugs from the early days of slug shooting, that barrel
also shot a pellet OK from what I remember

The NSA 29gr shot well out of some of the slower twist barrels I've seen here on AN but the BC is pretty low at .075 in my Uragan King, however way better than pellets at longer distances.

The under sized slug is an oddity obviously.
So on a more typical slug -
I shot a 38gr. .250" 2S shallow HB slug @ 940 FPS for a long time out of a 24" barrel.
I bought a Corbin swaging setup to make the 38gr.
Of coarse those were 31gr. and 37gr. Rat Sniper slugs I got from him back then.
Not like sending a 50gr. or 60gr. chunck of lead like were doing now.
That 24" barrel's leade was literally cut to fit Micheal's 37gr. slug.

That was when Micheal Hossack explained how it was an idea twist rate to shoot both in the Yellow forum.
