NSA 25cal 29gr

I managed to get some time off from work to go to my local shooting range... “local”...yeah right, 70miles round trip! :( anyways I wanted to try some NSA 29gr in my Veteran 25 long, i set the speed @928fps, I’m not going to bother posting groups @50 yards I was getting 3/4 of a inch at that distance.

The 100yards groups were good but not impressive and I know it wasn’t the gun or the slugs, it was me! ;) i need to get a better rear rest, I was using two tin pellets as a support! Lol 

Definitely a lot of room to improve those groups, I can’t wait to get the 26gr and 34gr, I wish Nick would offer a slug sampler with different weights.

Here are some pics....

The top 3 groups were ok, I don’t know if was the magazine or bc I was using 15X on my scope, I normally use 10X in all my shooting so I decided to change the magnification back to 10X and use the pellet loading tray that came with the gun, check out the group at the bottom, pretty good right!

I kept shooting some more and definitely the groups got better

I made this little shooting gallery, don’t mind the pigeon clays, too easy for the Veteran! :) the spinners are about 1.5 inches and the cookies about and inch, I wanted to make it a bit challenging ;)

Those 5-shot groups on the 3 inch targets at 100 yards = awesome!

I have those same slugs (Nielsen 29 gr). I tried them at 20 yards in my Taipan Veteran .25 caliber Long. 1+ inch groups at 20 yards I find unworthy of testing farther out.

Maybe I'll give them another try. So far, the best I can produce with the slugs are the 34 gr. 

Thanks for the post and the photos. Your success motivates me to keep trying with the slugs.

Yes all the groups posted are shot @100 yards, keep trying. Remember some slugs tend to open up a little at short distances and do great a far distances.
