FX Hybrid Slugs 25cal

[@dougdishler2086]

Congrats on your element optic deal pro staff that sounds big time bro!!!! Great work

[@SouthOZHobbyHunter]

Hi brother Hodge, glad you liked the package, hopefully you can get some use from it. Good to see you have finally got an ABL to go with the 4K PRO, now you just need to mount it behind the objective lens. This redistributes the weight quite a bit. I did it to mine and the change was very noticeable. Finally thank for the shout out. Hope to get out on the rats this weekend so more videos soon. Stay safe and happy hunting.

[@meatheadmarksman2013]

Its been great seeing your channel grow, looks like your in top gear sailing up to 10k before you know it! i think i might try the torch mounted on the bottle with that rail adapter, see how that goes. did you need anything to mount the abl behind the objective? or just strap it on?

[@SouthOZHobbyHunter]

@@meatheadmarksman2013 had to print up a bracket to support the ABL but thats it. As for the bottle bracket , it is still joined as some bottle allows it to push on. If it is too tight just cut with a hacksaw blade and then fit using a picatinny mount to reclamp the bracket. Any question give me a yell.

[@Lorwildrose]

I had found these slugs from the guy that's making them for FX, rat sniper slugs, they work great with my Crown and original slug liner. It was a wow. They also worked in the original STX liner, and were less expensive. But if your hunting they’re still worth it.

[@marcegrecco53]

Good review. They are hard hitting. I shoot them out of my Diana Skyhawk in .25. My Impact is a .30 caliber and I look forward to the day they com in .30

[@johnmal801]

Great video Friend. These are what my Impact digests... Thank you

[@peewee007654321]

I’m happy shooting my .22 impact with 25 grain slugs @ 970 fps. @ 50 yards it’s slug on slug. I haven’t tried the hybrid slugs yet, kinda hoping the price will come down a bit 🤷‍♂️. My impact came with the superior liner already in it but because I’d already brought a slug liner A for it then that’s what’s in it. The superior liner is in the loft probably never to see the light of day 🤷‍♂️. I too use the 3-14 atn 4K pro with abl. Incredible how it works out your exact trajectory as long as correct info entered 👏👏👏Good video 👍 can’t wait to see your 100 yard test 😉

[@hotchihuahua1546]

My first tune was a 948 with a 10 shot 5 dev. , the stock tune was 750 with a 10 shot 7.1 dev . ! Both shoot well out to 40 yards , I’m looking forward to a range I can test accuracy out to 100 yards ! I think a larger 580 bottle may be my next purchase ! Always, thanks for sharing !

[@robertbyles5140]

Great video as always Got my superior liner and the fx hybrids a couple of weeks ago in .25 I found the slugs had a lot of fillings on the back of them it took some time to clean them but man was it worth it. 25cm group at 100m @930 FPS on a calm day

[@redgreen6436]

That's terrible accuracy

[@GeKo1966]

Howdy Hodge!!! at last I got to see the full vid....felt azzzleep yesterday with popcorn all over the bed....and the following girlfriend´s complain...Anyhow good to always see you in Full Ausi Uniform! Admirable. Yep...Your analysis was spot on as usual....FX Hybrids are a dream to shoot with both on high and low power, only 💩 part about it is the price! you kind of get depressed looking at Ernest opening a whole bucket like 500-600 of them and giving them a cleaning....cause he has unlimited access! Anyhow I hope in the future they will get a price drop, cause of competition, looking now at all them brands coming out. Hope you get a nice little package from the Dark Lord of 101 with some Jevelins in it. Good to see you use my favorite mags from Darko, and yes I to had/have issues with the H&N slugs and Hybrids in my .22 mags but not with the JSB Knockouts in both .22 and .25, would guess cause they are a bit "fatter" than H&N´s and Hybrids. Expecting any day now some NSA and see what happens.....looks like the Airgun Community is going full throttle on slugs! Keep up the good vids coming and hopefully you will bee having allot of exiting packages arriving with goodies you can test for our amusement & learning, and of course for draining our accounts. Happy Days! Cheers 💪✔

I have the FX pin probe from the FX slug power kit. That feeds slugs very well though the Carm magazine. H&N Grizzly, NSA and FX hybrid slugs.

[@meatheadmarksman2013]

Thats good news! I wonder if my pellet probe is loose...

[@bcml8]

@@meatheadmarksman2013 I'm not sure about being loose? The FX pellet probe wouldn't feed slugs through Carm magazine for me either !

[@4450OhDeere]

Good work on this video ! . For me the 25. Hybrids was a disappointment with the slug A and later the superior heavy . I tried from 880 too 1050 FPS with no luck. I’m back on the NSA 36.2 gr. Can’t wait to try the new knockouts .

[@JoeMama-hl5qc]

I'm testing some .25 hybrids at 801 it's 1" at 101 yards with 4 mill hold over. Going with nsa 38.4 after sample pack but that was 50fps loss same tune and 7 mill hold at 101 yards. 2" group opens up, hoping higher velocity will shrink group back down to ½ like at 30 yards.

[@slowpokeairgunner4027]

I have some ordered, pre-ordered that is. I hope they work well in my guns, so far I have found a slug they really like, but of course, they are pricey, more than these.

[@stedyone1090]

Still having good accuracy with my Impact 30cal twist X barrel with NSA 47 grain slugs. Still waiting for FX hybrids in 30 cal. UGH, buuuurp... 😆

[@peteralexben]

these hybrids are at the price off 22lr match ammo. under 100 meter the jsb pellet is as accurat

[@lunatic231]

The only downside of these hybrid slugs is the price. The amount we get for the cost is ridiculous which is why most got to JSB or H&N and neilson

[@jameshutchen7783]

SteadySlugn' the new H&N slugs are pretty amazeballs AND half the price. Uni Hodge taken note , don t fall for the hype ....it's not you !

[@meatheadmarksman2013]

Ill be testing them all as they arrive if theyre good theyll get a rave review like these ones 👍

[@peteflores7031]

I went back to shooting my reloaded AR 223 loads and 22 lr. These folks are getting greedy, I can shoot them cheaper than my FX rifle.

[@lunatic231]

@@peteflores7031 completely understandable. If I could do that, I would.

[@bugsy742]

Mate, I’m getting touching groups at pretty much bang on 1k fps through the Crown at 100 yards, I don’t know if my harmonics are some sort of freak but I’m blessing my luck 👍

[@bugsy742]

Edit I DO however have a 10 percent flyer ratio that I cannot fathom aside from maybe it’s the ammo or maybe it’s the Crown? Maybe it’s both? the one thing I do know is that when I do have a flyer it ALWAYS has a spiral that kicks in at about 45/50 yards and ends up roughly 2 inches left & low! it’s like one in 10 Hybrids is out of balance/weight with the others, I shall wash & weigh & see what happens 👍🤙 just to add 101 in the 🇬🇧 are spot on and quick reliable delivery 🚚😎

[@ozpestadelaide2715]

Just tried the JSB Knockouts in 216 cal, 25.39g. Getting 50 cent size groups at 100m. Using Impact mark 2 at full noise. A bit surprised with these being 216 cal. Should have known being JSB’s

[@meatheadmarksman2013]

I'm a big fan of everything jsb does!

[@peteralexben]

if you add a huma regulator and fine tune and rebarrel a low price pcp you can gett a high end performance

[@ratsniperslugs]

Very informative video 🍻 You are spot on about the recessed base...it acts as a slight drag parachute to keep the slugs driving straight 👊

[@meatheadmarksman2013]

Pure genius mate! all the good parts of a pellet with none of the annoying parts.

[@Aaron-us5iu]

I was so disappointed I wanted em to be good soooo bad but in my gun they just don’t perform and it’s not even worth trying to tune for them because everything else I have does work but shoutout to FX it’s a great idea and they still get me raccoons from 25 feet but I should make a video of them grouping at 30 or o dear lord 50 yards😅 I had about a 10 inch group if you can even call it that the packaging is definitely top notch though

[@yosu7334]

Great video mate!

[@michaeldavis8259]

Can you shoot pellets out of a slug liner using the same pressure as slugs? I’m trying to shoot in the yard with pellets and when I go north I shoot ground hogs. And would love to shoot slugs up there. Love your videos

[@ColoradoAirgunner]

Great info! Just got some to try in my avenger. Yea, they're a little spendy. But I'll pay a little more for an accurate hunting slug.

[@meatheadmarksman2013]

i rekon theyre worth it, cheaper would be nice but its not a deal breaker for me

[@Paul-ps3os]

I have a .25 mk 2 impact and shot the fx hybrids out of my CARM mag no probs (100 rounds). Patiently waiting for the heavier .25 NSA slugs to be offered in Australia.

[@nicholaspappadopoulos9124]

I was thinking that because the twistrate was kinda slow for a slug that the slower speed was getting better rifling engagement

[@bugsy742]

Nice one mate 👍

[@drmoss_ca]

I have been mucking around with slugs through a STX pellet liner on a Dreamline. I'm shooting rats at only 5-10 yards, so accuracy isn't an issue, but there is one thing I simply cannot understand and that is this: my 14.3gr practice pellets at 940fps hit a target at 10yds two clicks below 25gr H&N slugs at 780fps! If the slugs were tighter in the bore and got a velocity boost I could understand, but the FX chronograph doesn't lie. Maybe at that close a range either the pellet or the slug is still having a bit of a wobble as it emerges from the barrel, and at the target I'm seeing one or the other running either below or above the average line of flight because of the 'wavelength' of the wobble? Once adjusted both are accurate enough for my purposes and the slugs are devastating to the rats. Of course, there's always room for more, and a PowerPlenum and a 480cc bottle will let me use the pellets with around twice the shot count. Happy days, as you say!

[@meatheadmarksman2013]

I think Its more likely that the slugs are leaving the end of the barrel on a different barrel vibration node, perhaps one that is at the highest point of its travel.

[@drmoss_ca]

@@meatheadmarksman2013 I expect you're right. Either way, the rats get what they deserve.

[@drmoss_ca]

@@meatheadmarksman2013 Another thought for those of us who don't yet have the bottle option: there are several barrel-bands available to tie the barrel to the air cylinder (something impossible on an Impact), as some complain that there is a point-of-aim change after leaving the rifle leaned against a corner. I have a couple of them, and while I confess I leave my rifle just that way - it needs to be able to be grabbed and used as soon as I see my hated vermin eating the bird feed - the barrel bands do not seem to deliver. But taking OFF the barrel band gives me far more consistent results on a target. If I upgrade to a bottle I won't even have this option, and the fact it shoots better makes me happy!

[@meatheadmarksman2013]

@@drmoss_ca free floating is usually better for accuracy then a barrel band. It seems like a weird quirk of the airgun world that people want to sing the praises of barrel bands that they've made themselves or bought because the barrel "looks wrong and wobbly" I don't get it, if it helps it helps but I reckon 99% of the time it probably doesn't help lol

excellent vid as per usual Help very new to this tuning lark i have a fx impact mk11 not tuned its has it come straight out of box (uk) what setting would you recommend for the hybrids slugs or hades .25 pellets many thanks Dave (uk)

[@meatheadmarksman2013]

I'd suggest try the top 3 settings, hades will probably work well around 860fps and the hybrids will be good at 900+. You shouldn't need to tune it really, at least not until you are used to the gun and know how it shoots. I always say live with it standard as it comes for a month or two before changing anything because you probably don't need to change what you think you do at the moment
