For pellets, I have only personally tried JSB 44 and 50 grain. Both are good, but the 44gr are more consistent with my barrel. 62 grain slugs shoot best, so that is all that I use.

In regards to slugs - I have the Magnon if that makes any difference. Can you provide a link to the slugs you use? Thank you

Best bet is to buy an assortment of these Nielson swaged slugs along with some additional 65 grainer's, not in the assortment package deal. Then shoot them to see which weight has the tightest group size.

Dale Riggert (Varmint Knockers) sells the 62 grain ammo that I use with my EVOL. Second to those are the NSA 65.5s, but frankly - the other NSA slugs in .30 are pretty abysmal unless your shooting at close range or without any wind.

Found this on amazon, dont know if grinding the tip to make it round might work as a barrel removal tool? I am having a hard time trying to find the correct one and evol is on the way, the first thing I do is clean the barrel before first use.
Any help will be appreciated on this guys.
Thanks.
Jeff.

We have new 22 moderators. They are a collaboration between us and STO. AAA made housing and STO core designed specifically for the EVOL 22. They are extremely quiet and still very compact.
STO put a lot of effort into the core design using the their extremely precise measuring equipment and our housing is designed to perfectly match the EVOL barrel system with perfect concentricity. Additionally, the new moderator is full backwards compatible with existing units.
If you need more, a larger third party unit may may offer some further reduction but I'm very confident that the new unit will be more that adequate for the most sensitive environments.
30 caliber moderators are next in the development cycle.

@slayer What are the chances that you and the guy's at STO could come up with a few of these moderators for the Slayer models? I'd be interested in buying one for both the 357 and 452. The Ronin is absolutely huge on there now.

We will have something for the Slayers soon; it's been in the works for awhile.

I am starting to tune it for BR with 44gr JSB.
It came at 2100 psi reg and max speed of 930fps.
I want to lower the speed with a balanced reg pressure to around 850 - 860, then start to go higher and see the results at 100 yards.
With the current pressure lowering the HS at 850fps the shot to shot consistency is terrible, it goes from 850 to around 870 and in between.
Today I shot it until empty then lowered the pressure to 1900 psi. I will test it on tuesday afternoon at the range.

The proper tool for the barrel nut is a pin style spanner 1.125 OD with a 0.156" diameter pin. Most industrial suppliers like McMaster Carr have many to choose from. We have made some custom spanners for internal use and when there is time to make more they will be available to purchase.

@Slayer can we get a small production run of these made with the Slayer logo on them?
