Ya know I really wanted the fx hybrids to work for me but I couldnt get any accuracy from them, but this is with a tj barrel. I bet those hybrids are awesome on little critters! However, for coyotes, Ive dropped more than a handful with the 65.5gr nsa at 1000fps, and not head shots. Not sure Id use the hybrids for larger game but man would they be great on pdogs! Thanks for sharing!

Interesting...I am on the hunt for some .30 cal slugs. Was there any accuracy at distance with the hybrids?

When you say "New" do you mean like new hybrids that recently were redesigned? Just asking because the .30 Hybrids been out for awhile and aren't very accurate that's why no one shoots them

thats what hunters know huh .. what i know as a hunter is shot placement is what matters and ive smacked squirrels in the mid section and the 'shock' flipped them off a post 20ft back with their guts hanging out and theyve ran off ...

I absolutely love my .30 cal. The hybrids are an excellent match with the superior liners IMO. I love shooting them. I always get my guns out and I'm like ugh is it a pellet or hybrid day haha. Has anyone seen any testing hybrids with other liners/brands of guns? how did it go?

As always, great job, Chuck.
What I got out of this, is you just saved folks a lot of $$ in slug costs along with time/fuel/and Air(if they were w/o a compressor and relied on a fill shop)that we’re seeking the perfect expansion upon penetration in a slug.
One of the reasons I haven’t dabbled into slugs was that main reason- I didn’t want to look at the end of an 8 hour shooting session at boxes and boxes of slugs that my gun doesn’t like, and each box has a $$ amount attached to it. Hence, Another reason why I’m not into trying out all kinds of different pellets. A true simpleton I am, ha!
thanks for your efforts

Im gonna have to try these again. I didnt do much testing as they really didnt fit the mag but ive modded the uragan mag since. My first shot also put them over 1200fps so I did a quick tune to get them around 1000fps. They werent terribly bad, about 3/4” at 60 yards.

Great link. Thanks a lot for some great info! Keep up the good work; some of us really appreciate it.

Nice write-up Chuck. Thank you for sharing. I must emphatically agree with the statement that shot placement is key when hunting with airguns.
The NSA ammo is good. I'm not sure that shooting them into plastic containers filled with water is a good enough test to simulate what would happen when they penetrate flesh, organs and or encounter connective tissue and bone.
The FX slug definitely dumps all its energy quick. Maybe too quick! Would it make it through a rib cage and to the heart? That's my question.
Chuck, I'd suggest some actually hunting tests.

Appreciate all the information Chuck. It seems these "Hybrid" .30 slugs (BC of 0.07) also fill a "hybrid" category between pellets and slugs. Better ballistics than .30 pellets (BC of 0.042), but significantly less than the .30 NSA (and other) slugs (BC of 0.10 and up). Would seem to be great little hunters out to 100 yards, maybe somewhat longer...
