Testing Slugs with FX Impact - PELLET & SLUG different liners and Barrels
- Thread starter edosan
- Start date
Would someone know the spec's of the new ( Gen 2) FX 700 mm slug barrel:
I gather its a 1:16 twist, 700 mm LG, is it traditional Land/Groove, Polygonal, smooth twist or smooth twist X barrel.
Knowing the Land / Groove dimensions (eg. .217/.214) would be great.

The FX chart says it's 1:15 twist https://www.airgunnation.com/topic/official-fx-stx-barrel-liner-twist-rates/
Rifling is rolled into the tube from the outside just like the STX barrel but the choke is different.
Matt Dubber says it never needs cleaning.
Here is a video explaining slug liners. It's long but you should watch the whole video.

30gn vs golf ball @ 100 m (one in a million)
WARNING: do not shoot golf balls at close range (less than 50y) since the pellet / slug tend to bounce back..it can be dangerous.

Today I was tuning my X for 18gn pellets. Since I left the mk2 for slugs and hi cal.
Been shooting so many slugs that sometimes I forget how accurate pellets are.
8 shot group 700mm pellet liner 18gn jsb, 890 fps @ 83 yards
Looks like is ready
