I've had a "new to me" .25 Cricket carbine for a while now and am thinking about digging it out and seeing how it performs. I'd like to find a good slug match for the gun. Anybody have suggestions on where to start? Weight? Diameter? Brand? I'd like to order some samples or small lots to begin testing. Thanks in advance for the help.

Which slugs have worked the best in a .25 cal. Crickett carbine?

My bullpup cricket .25 likes the H&N Grizzlies. Not to many people have success with these slugs, but I have heard from a few other cricket owners who have had good success as well. What's great is if your gun likes them they are pretty cheap too.

I've not started on slugs with my kc2tac but I have been doing a lot of reading and video research. Seems to be slugs like somewhere between 100 or 150 fps faster than your sweet spot of pellets. With the short carbine barrel you may be pushing the gun hard enough to waste a lot of air getting a slug which is typically heavier with more contact surface moving fast enough to hit its sweet spot on fps. This in turn may give you projectile wash as it exits the barrel. I will follow this to see what your results come out as. Good luck to you.

Thanks for the replies guys. I'm not to much of a tinkerer so I'll order a tin of the grizzlies and see what happens.
