Red Wolf loved these Slugs

Hi Rog. Have you tried to “lightly” lube the slugs. Try some ballistol. I think it improved accuracy slightly and the barrel stays cleaner. 

As the pressure drops is the speed dropping? If not then it could be just the change in the harmonics as the air delivery changes from a very short super high pressure pulse to a lower pressure but more air. I did a post about this but it didn’t get much traction. 

Shooting tethered is a good idea. Huma sell an externally adjustable regulator you could experiment with the pressure to see what works You should be able to get incredible consistency with a regulator on a RedWolf that way I have been thinking of doing the same thing A 580cc bottle will also give you a few more shots in the zone.

Ive installed a Heliboard in my RedWolf and I love it Initially thought the 12 power settings was a bit much but when your searching for the correct speed for a particular projectile it is so easy to just work your way up through the levels increasing speed with for example the monsters by 20fps per setting Great for dialing in the slugs Then of course you can fine tune your speed once your in the ball park

also the standard RW has only 3 pressure reference points This is where the programming changes and you get a different set of imput criteria for the new pressure zone You will notice this and Ill bet that is what’s happening when your groups change

The Heliboard has 20 references points! It can be tuned to flatten the shot curve Because there are 20 and they can be tuned you don’t notice that sudden change in the way things are working inside the gun

Now that's very interesting , my buddy has he heliboard and is going through all the functions as we speak . I think it might be worth a good look as it goes. I think it closes the gap between the FX Impact lets say and the Red Wolf with adjustability , could make the slugs work even better , as you say . So no I have not tried lube as yet . Its something I need to experiment with , yes the speed drops dramatically from 250 BAR to 195 BAR and this is having a detrimental effect on the slugs . When filled the gun stacks the slugs one on another , once the pressure drops they open up and this can only be because the way the air is delivered to the slug , I have tried tethering before and it flattens out the power curve for sure but its a pain having to do that . I think the heliboard would be the answer for the future , I don't mind less shots as long as they are consistent is all . I will also try those H&N 20 grain slugs again once I can get my hands on some , they seemed to work well in the RW , flat as flat ! We shall see
