Hi all, one question for ED lelya new 2.0 version .25 caliber, can it shot slugs? Anyone who ever tested it? How it works compare to pellet?
Can lelya 2.0 .25 shot slugs

They use lw barrels so I would imagine so. I dont own an edgun but i shoot slugs out of my lw barrel all the time with my condor. Best to call edgun directly. That guy is awsome and really a great source of information about pesting and airguns in general.

Thanks Raden,
I sent message via telegram to ED this sunday, but don't get feedback so far, still waiting. I totally agree with you, it should work with slugs but no idea about performance compare to pellets.

I would think so. There is one guy here in the forums shooting a R5M with slugs and great results. .177 however. I have a Lelya in .22 and have wondered the same. Being it has a shorter barrel though I could see a possible issue getting slugs up to speed. Just a guess though.

Given the weight and width of a pellet the same size, there should be no difference between shooting one or the other in a Lelya or any other pcp airgun.
There's no magic about slugs. They are simply a lead "pellet" with a different shape...with the width, weight, length being identical to a "pellet".
If a lead projectile has the same width, weight, length, then the barrel, and the twist rate of the rifling, can tell no difference between slugs or pellets.
However, that being said...the unique shape of a projectile can have some dramatic results upon impact with an object, compared to the shape of the common pellet.

My airguns all shoot pellets at a higher velocity than slugs of the same weight. I attribute that to the fact slugs, because of their shape, contact the barrel more than the diabolo-shaped pellets. I.e. the slugs create more friction with the barrel than pellets.
The pellet's flared skirt helps to reduce friction in the barrel.

If im not mistaking I think that slugs prefer to have more spin going on to stabilize then as compared to a pellet. I mean I could be wrong. Also some led, pellet or slug might prefer more or less spin depending on the speed of the led.
