150m slug festival

Brilliant as always! Like how you exercized the Audi 😃 Fun to see how your pellets going to perform in that range. I have tried that range in my .25 stx with King and mk2 with ok results.

[@AimSmall]

Yes, the knees aren't what they used to be, at least I walked when I did the follow up 100m shoot.

[@grahamgibbs5948]

Great video. Tell like it is. Well done Gert.

[@MMM-RATTING]

H&N FOREVERRRRR 😂 😂 Very nice Gert, as usual. The group ''against'' the wind (and logic) could be a wirl down range, wich one can never gess. Also, we can only know how strong the wind is from where we shoot, not down there. Maybe with a kestrel in the camera frame next to the target...without hitting it of course.😁 👍 👍

[@AimSmall]

Thank goodness I had a steel drop target in front of my Gopro (Gopro at target), I hit the steel no less than 3 times today... My gorpo would have been a NOPro with the hitting power of those slugs.

[@MMM-RATTING]

@@AimSmall I forgot to say: I loved to see your litle car trips to the target...in my (our) twenties, we would run there and back...but now, we are a bit smarter (I hope).🙃 😁 👍

[@Werner_HeR]

Strange. I have found the same with the h&n slugs. They kick ass.

[@AimSmall]

The H&N's are lazer accurate. I just wish they expanded a bit better, they seem to go like a needle through an object, when hunting you need to hit vitals... at 100m I can't guarantee that I am that good a shooter to hit vitals every time on a dove or other critter.

[@geoffreynewsham3030]

Great vids mate. All the way from sub12 UK.

[@AimSmall]

Thank you, I am waiting for FX to finetune their .177 barrels, I need one for HFT/FT , sub 12. The current barrels aren't that great.

[@stedyone1090]

Aim small. Miss small.. Very nice 👌 👍

[@jimstewart5008]

Great work!

[@billyjones7726]

Which 25gr H&N slug do you find to be generally more accurate out of the superior liner, the .217 or the .218. Thanks

[@AimSmall]

The weird thing is that the gun shoots both with little to no difference in impact, I know my gun loves 217's so it was very strange that the H&N's in 218 was accurate as well, it is the only slug that I couldn't find a remarkable difference. All the other makes showed big differences between 217 and 218.

[@billyjones7726]

@@AimSmall Thanks for the reply 👍🏻

[@frankmontoliu2341]

What caliber are you shooting please let us know in your description thanks Francois

[@AimSmall]

Apologies, it is .22

[@peteralexben]

i found the same , with .30 jsb 44.39 grain pellets wind from the left shots went left and higher at 150 meters with a dreamline . a perfect shot is the one that lands at the first try otherwise its luck, the groups are not better with slugs compared with pellets at that distance (30 cal)

[@AimSmall]

I shot 100m right after I shot the 150m slugs, I found a massive difference in grouping in the .22 due to the wind (both 18,13gn and 25,39gn), busy with video... As for the weird going to the right, there is another possibility, it might be that the slug design is of such a nature that it starts turning into the wind at a certain distance, almost like a badminton shuttlecock. Especially if the wind is at a 45 degree angle.

[@peteralexben]

@@AimSmall yes a projectile wil always turn to one side ,thats caused by the rotation of the projectile and rotation energy that losing that way by the friction in the air, maybe in the wind its more from a certain direction or shape of the projectile ,dont ,forget that the slugs for airguns looks more like a small pistol bullet then a rifle`s ,spitser boattail , by the way i always walk the 150 (is 300 when back)meters ,you get healthy for free :-)

[@nickvantonder4692]

Gert, the next time you do longer distances - place your targets downwind with wind coming from behind over your left shoulder. Just try it.

[@AimSmall]

Thanks Nick. Unfortunately the range is only in one direction... Maybe next time when I go field long dustance. 👍

[@syedwajihuddin]

Excellent video. Which barrel?

[@AimSmall]

Superior heavy slug liner

[@Poperboy06]

Maybe you can test it with hybrid slugs 22 gr :-) i know they love the superior heavy liner at 960fps :-))) Your videos are very good and i love them because you make your test with different velocity and amo :-) very good job and i follow you ;-) hello from Monaco ;-)

[@AimSmall]

Thank you. The hybrids are very expensive, more than double the price we pay for H&N's.

[@gutiguti3914]

Espectaculares disparos y muy buenas pruebas 👏👏👍👍🇦🇷

[@عبدالرحمنالغامدي-ت6س]

What kind of liner does it have the last version of fx impact? Is it STX or standard superior liner or a superior heavy liner?

[@AimSmall]

Superior heavy slug liner (they are all STX)

[@ozpestadelaide2715]

That wind was your nemesis. But it was also true life shooting. No show boating here.

[@AimSmall]

Thanks Rob. I film it as I get it, and there is always wind where I live. NO wind = bugs and heat. I prefer the wind, makes me a better shooter at the end of the day.

[@ozpestadelaide2715]

@@AimSmall come to south Australia and I’ll show you bugs.

[@عبدالرحمنالغامدي-ت6س]

What is the best liner for fx impact I shoud buy? Give me your advice.

[@AimSmall]

They are all good, depends on what you want to shoot, I chose the superior heavy as it is brilliant with pellets and heavier slugs. If you prefer lighter slugs you can use the standard stx superior liner.

[@عبدالرحمنالغامدي-ت6س]

@@AimSmall It is indeed.

[@AimSmall]

@@weirhauch1002 You made me go back to that video and a few others to double check, I am building a new JSB Knock Out video, only 30m but I got hold of the .217's . Amazing is all I am going to say.

[@weirhauch1002]

@@AimSmall Honestly , I do not think that knock out slugs are bad at 100 m , maybe there are other factors that let their efficiency deteriorate as I know many people shoot them well out of their fx impact heavy slug liner barrels . And yes ,I normally return to my videos from time to time just to have fun watching them. Good luck ,you exert great efforts in explaining types of ammo 👍

[@AimSmall]

@@weirhauch1002 Also agree that KO's are excellent value for money, even out to 150m.

[@MAAAH1581]

don’t you think you should have done some harmonies for each brand ? to get the best out of it

[@AimSmall]

Thank you sir, I understand what you are getting at, but it is impossible to tune a single gun to run 8 different slugs all harmonically tuned. For that i would need 8 guns as each slug will differ on weight, speed and harmonics. Running the slugs at +- 950 fps I did a lot of 40m testing with all the slugs, my gun is purring at the moment and will do exceptional groupings with all 8 slugs @ 40m. I did a 100m follow up shoot in the same conditions, just need time to edit them. Much better results as can be expected.

[@happyhalfwit8862]

Possible answer to your odd wind. Did you check the zero with that particular slug or just work on the theory its 23gr it should be the same. Different slugs can give wildly different zero points. I know its a bit of teaching granny to suck eggs. Other possibility is that the wind may well have been varying a lot all the way down so what u felt at the barrel could easily have been different to mid and target. For that mirage is your friend

[@AimSmall]

Thanks Happy, I used the mirage a lot, but because of the chilly morning air there was no mirage, a bit later I did do 100m and the mirage was very helpful. What is not shown on the camera is me zeroing each slug @ 150m so it isn't zero points. I tried to eliminate as many factors as I can. Will watch the grass and dust with an eagle eye next time.

[@dannychoi6445]

why are you even try this with this kind of wind its point less next time try it out with no wind please

[@AimSmall]

Hi Danny, there is always wind where I stay, it is a coastal area. The wind is part of the honest review, I don't do the glorified 5 shot groupings in perfect conditions, I am not trying to sell anything.lol. The main reason for shooting in the wind is to show how good slugs keep their speed and how good they are in wind, my next video I will show the effect on the same pellets in the same windy conditions. Scary.
