Changing the FX Panthera’s diet for more power!!

The FX panthera was been a power house of precision. In recent, I’ve decided to up the foot pounds of energy by increasing the total weight of the slug giving me more power! I go over the details on why this is necessary for certain applications of hunting and target shooting, and how this is worked very well for me I hope you will enjoy.

Thank you for sharing!

[@Cisco1322]

Nice video and explanation the math behind pellets, slugs and the damage they can do with different weight, speed and distance. I think they FX king will be perfect for the different application you like to do and I bet you come up with so more awesome videos. I be watching 🤙

[@themichiganoutdoorsman]

Yes thank you! The FX King is something I almost wanted to purchase solely for woodchuck hunting because of the larger tank and the beautiful Woodstock. I really want that gun.

I have been using just .25 cal 34 grain pellets @ 960 FPS with 70 FPE, and frequently take groundhogs past 120 yards. The drop is just crazy at that distance also, but I have yet to find a slug that my LWMG Polygonal choked barrel likes. I watched 1 video a couple years ago that used a NSA 38.5 grain slug with good results so I got some and duplicated the speeds in the video but could not duplicate his accuracy. I just have to accept my LCS SK-19 is NOT a slug gun sadly. So much power and ease of adjustability and can't use a damn slug! The .22 cal version uses a LWMG barrel but it is grooved and not a polygonal barrel. It would be much better for slugs IMO than a polygonal that is choked. I have used both but sold the .22 cal SK-19. It loved FX Hybrids. Both guns are ridiculously accurate , powerful, and a blast to shoot being semiautomatic. Follow Ups when needed are instant and appreciated greatly v/s manual cocking a side lever which are still very nice over a bolt action IMO. Good information bud...thank you.

That is true if indeed you are shooting them at the same speed, but when you push it up there near max, the 34 becomes flatter due to you being able to shoot it faster. The 34 grain Griffin boattails I'm shooting only have 5.2 inches of drop at 100 yards vs the 40 grain Griffins at 1040 fps have 5.7 inches of drop but the 40s do retain more energy downrange with the higher ballistic coefficient. Get you some Griffin boattails in .217

[@themichiganoutdoorsman]

Sweet! I did not know Griffin made slugs in the 22 caliber, especially boat tail. that really ups the antidote!

[@dougiefresh3767]

@themichiganoutdoorsman Indeed he does. He makes boattails in all calibers, small and big bore.

[@themichiganoutdoorsman]

@dougiefresh3767 I know I have tried some of his 457 ammunition for my Air Force texan.

[@williamlewis2896]

Sabre tactical makes drop blocks for a front bottle and you can run dull tank set up

[@themichiganoutdoorsman]

Yeah I just don’t care for the looks of the Pantera when it is done up that way, even though it is practical.

[@jesseburns9734]

Hay Jeremiah Was that the same Air Rifle you used at the PRS Shoot? Great job

[@themichiganoutdoorsman]

Yes sir! Thank you!

[@cliffb.2416]

Have you had any luck using the fx hybrids? I know their not heavy for better bc, but they seem to expand and grenade. Good for close range? I've taken out racoons out to 80yds with head shots using them. Body and head shots at 50 and closer. Dropped opossums at 80yds with head and body shots. Shooting them at 900fps out of a kral puncher breaker silent. Just curious if you've tried them.

[@themichiganoutdoorsman]

Yes, I ran them when I first bought the FX impact and the Pantera. I really didn’t mind them. I like the fact you could shoot them faster than most Ammunition. And the tuning they weren’t as fussy on. It seemed like you could just load them up and shoot them. After I learn more about tuning is when I switched to different ammo.

[@Cisco1322]

Oh is that a 25 cal panthera?

[@Oregon-airguns]

.22

[@michaelpintal5419]

Is that the standard or the heavy duty bipod, I see they have double and triple pull bipods, I personally would go with the heavy duty one

[@themichiganoutdoorsman]

So when I purchased this bipod, the only options they had was the PRS version, standard, double pull, and triple pull. I never seen a heavy duty one although I imagine that would’ve been a better choice for me as well cause I need just a little more weight out the front end. But this height has been perfect clearing the beans in the fields and also Shooting PRS matches.

[@Wolf-689xl]

I don’t understand why these dudes never like to say the caliber of the rifle they’re talking about? Wtf?

[@blindj]

I would assume it's a 22 caliber

[@themichiganoutdoorsman]

Yes sorry .22 caliber as of now. When I first bought it, it was a 30 caliber rifle, but I swapped the barrel and pellet probe out.

[@Wolf-689xl]

@@themichiganoutdoorsman thank you, I just converted mine to.22 also
