BRK Ghost Part 2 slugs

[@MrPyroMaster]

Definitely not a slug barrel... Thank you, as always! You saved a lot of money and time for others today!

[@AimSmall]

Not done yet, barrle is now polished, and choke slightly reduced, will test slugs again this weekend. Slugs are a lot more speed fussy than pellets, once you get a speed that works they can be super accurate, already found some nice slugs and speeds to test further.

[@flyfin108]

you r one of the most underrated channels around, the stuff you do is very important and highly valued, thank you so much i even tried to find your channel when there was one in need for the info you present here, was pretty impossible

[@AimSmall]

Sincere thanks

[@dominicnoon]

TOTALLY agree.

[@DJSpinj]

Whatever you said you saw in the barrel that would make a person turn purple is the protective coating that manufacturers put before shipping. It’s to prevent the steel from corrosion/rusting. A good practice is to thoroughly clean the barrel before shooting it when you receive it new. It will take a lot of patches and solvent to remove it. I always use a bronze brush. I don’t listen to the nonsense people say about bronze brushes harming the barrels. I’ve been doing it for years and have noticed is the most effective way to remove all the gunk and embedded lead on barrels.

Always enjoy your videos - keep up the good work!

I have to tell you I’m in uk shoooting sub 12 ft .177 brk ghost and I am so happy because today at my range I put 3 card targets at 50 yds and I put 6 shots no flyers through each 20 mill bullseyes using Zan 13 g slugs… I am so happy I was not expecting this.

[@mustafaazad6337]

Thank you for your honest reviews.

[@Mamba.3]

Thanks a lot from Germany .Best Channel on KZbin.

[@brynybach7741]

Unfortunately as you know, that here in the UK we are limited to just 12 ft pound without having a firearms certificate (FAC). I definitely think the new (MK ll) skirted Knock Outs are an improvement over the MK l that you are using but personally I have found that the ZAN 13 grains work best in my Ghost. Love your videos by the way and always look forward to a new one. Glad you have the Ghost under test. Of my collection (eight air rifles) the Ghost is my favourite PCP.

[@georgeg8106]

A lot of air rifles group slugs as good as pellets at 30yds you have just got to get the tune right they hole in hole you have a really good Chanel good to watch 👍

[@AimSmall]

It takes a lot of tuning and a lot of slugs, I did that exercise before and got 1 or 2 slugs to group, but after 10 000 shots I am a bit tired of adjusting my gun everytime. Plus certain guns have a huge POI shift in different temparatures due to their thin "barrels", then you have to adjust everyhing all over again... Pellets out the tin outshoots slugs on paper every single day. I have not found a slug yet that can group as good as pellets without having to shoot 100's to fine tune it.

[@ozpestadelaide2715]

I’m not sure if you can get your hands on Zan 23g. Admittedly I use these in my m3 impact at 1080fps and the group very tightly from 12m to 50m. The groups open up at 100m but still getting groups that take out rabbits no problem. I use to use Knockouts in 216 dia in my m2 but the m3 hates them. If you can get these Zan’s I can send you a packet. Cheers Rob. As always really enjoy your channel. 😊

[@AimSmall]

Thanks Bob. SAairrifle.co.xs send me some Zan's to test in the BRK. I have the 23gr in 217 and 218. WIll test soon.

[@alexanderfields4172]

my Ghost is not too friendly with the 25gr(slugs) and up. Good Show!

[@precisionairgunninghunting6265]

Hate to say it buddy, but you're incorrect, Slugs will group just the same at close range, I zero at 20yds with some slugs & its one slug size hole, same as 30yds. it's more to do with what your barrel/liner prefers. Problem we have is a lot of the sponsored KZbinrs claimed Slugs need speed etc, with a view to sell power kits, then tuning aids, carbon sleeves, tension systems etc all BS. The Ghost has a twist rate of around 30ish which although not bad doesn't help with slugs along with other factors. Good to see you back again 😀

[@AimSmall]

Totally agree on the slow twist rate of the Ghost barrel, not inducive to stabilize a slug when leaving the barrel. My point about the slugs not grouping as well as pellets was from an untuned gun perspective, yes I can also tune my FX to shoot almost one hole at 30yards, but that takes a lot of tuning, and a lot of slugs, air, time and money. On the contrary you don't have to go through that hassle to shoot pellets through the same hole. All the guns I have ever bought were able to shoot a pellet brand or twon and one holing them, but none of those same guns were able to do it with slugs without fine tuning. Slugs are much more speed sensitive (not faster is better speed), but the harmonics type speed, I saw with the Ghost that 3fps can make a massive difference in accuracy, and that is true to most of the guns I have shot. My first liner from FX coudln't group any slugs at any speed at 30yards, yet it was a laser with 18gr JSB pellets, I had to get a liner with a faster twist rate and a lot of tuning to be albe ot get reasonable results with slugs. With pellets I have had out the box accuracy without fine tuning... Maybe you have had better luck than me to get to shoot a slug super accurate without having to spend hours of fine tuning.

[@precisionairgunninghunting6265]

@@AimSmall i certainly don't tune so to speak, i generally pick a speed around the 980 mark & then use power wheel. Never had to tune for a specific slug or pellet, just adjust power wheel. I can shoot golf balls 12/12 at 110yds in 12-15mph FV winds. ½" groups at 100yds is easy. I don't touch the hammer pretension or valve. Liners are a lucky dip & mine has been superb. Had many different types, including the Slug liner from FX which was absolute garbage & I had 2. Currently set-up where moving only the Power wheel I can use, sub moa, about 12-15 different slugs/pellets. It really grinds my teeth when I hear people struggling as they shouldn't, by some companies out there have such poor quality control & even let their customers test products without even telling them. I believe, like you, in transparency & truth, that's where FX fails 100%, leaving other companies like AA, RAW, HW, DAYSTATE etc to enjoy the customers FX lose

[@sparepart5907]

Hi Sir, i saw the barrel BRK ghost can not shoot slug as well , so you have anyway for shoot slug. For my ghost i have to change the barrel to Fx liner barrel.

[@EdBraunbeck]

I enjoy the format of your videos and the attention to detail. What regulator pressure are you running?

[@EdBraunbeck]

Disregard. I listened to the first video and learned it is set at 145 bar.

[@heathhalfhill6401]

I wonder if that 935 FPS in both guns liking those slugs means they have the same twist rate? Really nice rifle and shooting. Always enjoy your videos. Stay blessed.

Hi I love you channeli do same thing Gun's reviews In Texas i got same gun and i got same issued i can't get a slug to grup well i got my regulator set a 150 bar and the only slug that some work is Zan's 25gr i will keep watching you videos to se if you find a slug that works out of that gun Blessings my friend

Thanks you, will keep posting videos as I go along

Try Zan's 25 gr i shoo them @ 1000 fps and i do good groups @@AimSmall

Excelente pruebas para aclarar que slug funcionan mejor , amigo consulta qué tasa de giro trae el cañón 5,5 del Ghost? .

[@AimSmall]

Twist rate is slow 1:30 and the barrel has an aggressive choke as well.

[@andrebosgraaf2086]

Don't think the best group is very reputedly because the groups lower and higer are bad. But i had about exactly the same speed for that slug shooting good at a fx pellet barrel 8 shoots at 100 meter about 2 cm group and 2 shoots mostly at making it 6 a 8 cm

[@arcticairgunner]

Thanks for the testing. Does the BRK Ghost have similar aftermarket parts and availability and modularity as FX Impact/Maverick? I've seen and heard nothing but good things about this rifle. Thanks for sharing

[@AimSmall]

Yes, just like the FX they also took some time to get to market, the BRK team is working on a 700mm barrel, There are already rails and butstocks available. Looks very promising.

[@arcticairgunner]

@@AimSmall Outstanding, thank you 👍

[@martinfransman7584]

So i am new to the channel if i look at the previous vids you loved the fx products what happened i see you loves the ghost(brocock) although it looks like a copy of your beloved FX products but i do like how you do your comparisons be it slugs or pellets at deferent power levels and speeds

[@AimSmall]

Still have my FX, just a bit stunted by all the things that is NOT said about FX by certain KZbinrs. No gun is perfect.

I have never had any luck with the 216

I was fortunate enough to shoot them well out of an old FX liner, the new Superior Heavy Liner hates them too.

You would get better grouping with the FX 😂

Now that is not true at all and just trying to pull me into an argument, there is in fact videos about the exact same pellets and slugs doen through the FX, you are more than welcome to have a look and then bait me again. lol. I might have to go back and watch my own videos again... shame on you. 😁
