Is there a particular slug you would recommend for the .22 Gamo Swarm Magnum Gen3i?

@George.___ with any gun it depends on several factors as Tony said, twist rate power ect , when testing i generally ask the owner what they are currently shooting and start slightly lighter the go up in one grain steps to try and find the harmonic node then fine tune from there

@ I heard the barrel twist rate is 1 in 15.75”. According to a pellet wt. vs twist rate chart made by another air gunner the pellet weight for .22 should be 18.2gr. Indeed the weight seems to work pretty well. I use JTS Dead Center pellets 18.21gr. The power is ~ 30 ft-lbs give or take. I thought about measuring barrel harmonics with a piezoelectric pickup in a dozen or so different spots and recording the sound and spectra it makes it each shot. Observing the main spikes of frequency & amplitude and calculating wavelengths at each spot, perhaps some useful pattern will emerge? I also suspect the molded factory moderator core might be a main source of inconsistency. It’s not bad but I’m trying to push its capabilities of precision to the limits of all the interacting contributing factors. How do you go about finding barrel harmonics?

@ nothing quite so hi tech , start with a slug that is lighter than you are really looking for , shoot it go up one grain shoot that keep going up and you will see the poi change , there will be several points when the slug weight , speed will match the barrel . Obviously change the speed up or down and you change to node and the poi

@DanielGarcia-zw8nx some are now 1:7 for the heavier pills.

It's the same with .22lr hollow points ,I've never found one that has expanded, and my other hobby is metal detecting, and I've found hundreds of .22lr hollow point heads and non have expanded. ok, some would be misses, but not one ,they need to open the cavity more for them to work ,i had the same with .223 Barns grenades, they would act as a FMJ unless I did hot loads almost to the point as getting flatted primers so had to back off the charge a bit

You too Winston. Thanks for watching. Have a great Christmas.

😂😂😂

Great rifle though!

@kevinparker461 We used to call those "trash cans".

may be there will be part 2 of the same title 😊

How do you drink your coffee?

I'm really not sure I know how else to drink a mug of tea (not coffee btw). Thanks for watching and have a great Christmas.

Based on my admittedly limited amount of slug shooting, I've found them to be ok - no better or worse than most other brands to be honest. I think it's fair to say that all slugs take an amount of time and effort to set up just right. As I think Tony said in the video, rifles that are very tunable - like the Alpha/Delta Wolf, and some FX rifles too - work well with slugs because they can be fine tuned. Thanks for watching and have a great Christmas.

"Pellets are half the price of slugs"...where you buying your ammo from Tony belas?..😂

I find the 10 gr knockouts good at around 860-900 fps, shooting out of a 480mm length barrel with a very light choke.

Rubbish you say? Rubbish?😊

Thanks very much for watching.

What FX do you shoot?

I think the comment was made tongue in cheek. Sorry you missed that. Thanks for watching and have a great Christmas.

100%.

Sorry we couldn't bring more excitement into your life. Thanks for watching anyway and have a great Christmas.

Beware,the aversion to knowledge is strong in this one​@@RichardSaunders-w9b

Thanks very much. I got them from a company called Costway. A quick search should get you there...

Hi Ryan. They go to a local falconry centre.

Perfect that's what I use mine for too !
