Please Help! FX slug liners, other slug barrels, slugs and velocities

Sounds like a great Idea Stoti. I'd be curious as well to see what success or NOT everyone is seeing and how they are getting it. I'd be glad to help, just need to throw the 25 slug barrel kit back on the MKII. Dirty/clean/seasoned barrel would be another thing to ask probably. I've personally shot maybe 5 different slugs and so far I'm not too confident but I'll share what experience I have had.

Just finished up a conversion in .22 caliber having IMO stellar results thus far.



HW ( WEIHRAUCH ) 15mm 6 groove w/o choke at 24" length. * barrel is likely 20+ years old purchased at an AG show in Placerville this spring. Came from LD down by San Diego

being quite likely from the days when MAC1 was selling HW barrel blanks.

NSA 24.8 slug at .217 sizing shot at @ 980 fps



MOA or less for accuracy ... having not even bench shot it yet, but on a stool and shooting sticks hits time after time on a 3/4" spinner at 80 yards.

Hi stoti , I have a impact mk2 is has the 700mm barrel and port and probe enlarged, and the heavy slugs worked worked the best. I have shot the nsa36.2 from a little over 800-915fps ,after a major repair I retuned it to 900fps with the regulator set at 160bar. The gun shot great at all speeds and this tune the valve adjuster setting is at a little past 3 bars. I kept it at 900fps because I was trying to keep the recoil down at higher power it becomes hold sensitive, and as long as I follow through and firm consistent hold it shoots sub moa groups from 50-100yds I have kept the gun light as possible that makes jump a little more. I also have a red wolf 22cal this gun action is so fast it seems that the slugs or pellets are out of the barrel as soon as I touch the trigger, and the impact I can feel the hammer engaging and the slugs drag out the barrel that is why I have to have good follow through between the two guns it’s like comparing a flint lock to a modern firearm talking about the time between trigger pull to existing the barrel. The gun is shooting the 36.2 slugs so well that the last 400-600 shots have been slugs only and no adjustments to the gun and scope. I hope that this helps, but the setting description may be slightly different than your gun.

Quick question if I may ask about the slugs themselves. ALmost everyone of them are hollow-point. Besides the obvious hunting/more expansion reason, is there some sort of a benefit BC, or trajectory wise? One would think that the hollow points have a lot more drag than pointed bullets (slugs) and they slow down faster and create more turbulence.

I am sorry, but the drag that I am referring to is exiting out of the barrel. The pellets seems to exit the barrel noticeably faster than the slugs, but the BC is better with slugs and will shoot more accurately at long range.

I've been shooting slugs a lot longer than FX has been making slug liners. So your heading didn't really grab my attention to read on. 

This is a photo of an incomplete quick sample spreadsheet layout the way I usually do them. Just add what you really want. Probably more barrel info. - Brand, twist rate, length, etc.

The two guns and slugs listed are my two non-commercially available slugs. May not be of any value to your list. You can decide. 



It's cool that you are willing to try to compile a list to help new "Sluggers" at least have a good starting point for their gun.
