My Springer hates H&N HP Slugs ::FAIL WEEKEND::

[@MMM-RATTING]

Hello. Just a quick note: you said the slugs may be corroded, but in fact it's the tipe of lubricant they ship them with, it's kind of ugly but efective. You can even see a milky stuff under the bottom sponge. But if you feel like washing them, they will shine like the sun, and then use you lubricant of choice. The H&N 25gr .217 is in fact the ONLY slug I use now (Impact MKII and Crown), but with speeds over 900fps and superior liner heavy...phenomenal. Always great to watch your videos. Thank you.

[@meatheadmarksman2013]

I was second guessing my assessment of that being corrosion the moment the words left my mouth haha "does lead even corrode? You might be an idiot hodge..." was my next thaught. Hopefully my 22 barrel for the impact will be here shortly

So, on the other side of the world in Sweden, we have the first minus celsius degree of the season, winter is coming soon... BRRRR

[@robman4098]

Same here in Minnesota we hit the first minus celsius temps as well this last week. I live next to a small town called Lindström it is a sister city to sweden.

[@blomkransen]

@@robman4098 Cool! Lindström is a common last name here in sweden, and a hole bunch of swedes emigrated to Minnesota and other parts of northern US in the mid 1800´s

starting to get cold here in mich. its gona be a wet winter here.

[@avidplinker9517]

I’m really sorry you didn’t get to enjoy pinging those toads. I failed to mention that I have only done this in the middle of summer when they are out in force and I also leave the light on for at least an hour. It’s a lot of fun, I live half way between Maryborough and Gympie and my dam in summer is full of the wrong sort of tadpoles. Hope it works for you.

[@meatheadmarksman2013]

yeah same area for me too, its pretty hot now so i rekon they will be out in bigger numbers sooner rather then later

[@stedyone1090]

Nice stickers. Cheers 🍻 from hot & steamy Florida.

[@chrisstreeter71]

Once again great Vid Hodge! bit late logging on missed out on the sticker maybe next time.

[@meatheadmarksman2013]

Still got a few left mate 👍

[@happyhalfwit8862]

Am taking a wild stab in the dark but there just isn’t enough puff in a springer even if you stuck one of your truck springs in it .

[@meatheadmarksman2013]

Yeah this was more for curiosity sake. Wasnt expecting big things

[@happyhalfwit8862]

Meathead Marksman no S*^t it’s hard enough to to get the buggers to work in a hi power pcp let alone a springer. In the words of maverick “I feel the need the need for speed”

[@emp731]

The .217 h@n go really well in the Sumatra 2500

[@meatheadmarksman2013]

That big ol' sumatra probably throws them out close to 1000fps

[@emp731]

@@meatheadmarksman2013 Correct.I can get 970fps with a 35 grain slug,so 30 grain would go well over the 1k..But not with pin point accuracy...I find 180 bar 7-8clicks up from Bottom setting on power dial the most accurate .Dont know what that Speed that is,probably 870-900..But each individual Sumatra results would differ slightly I would say.

[@bigh6722]

Hey Meathead great videos mate very informative. Do you do tune ups or know anyone who does tune ups on FX Air Rifles? im located in Melbourne

[@meatheadmarksman2013]

I dont know of anyone other then hermanns sporting guns mate. Best ask around on local forums

[@happyface7342]

How come you have a suppressor on your rifle 🤔🤔👍👍

[@meatheadmarksman2013]

Its just a plastic barrel grip thingy so you dont have sweaty hands on blued steel. It just slides right off

[@Hipporider]

What's a real cheap scope which won't shake apart for a springer?

[@meatheadmarksman2013]

The gamo 4x on mine has been going strong for years. Very cheap and basic. Nothing on it to break really. ~$40ish

[@Hipporider]

@@meatheadmarksman2013 cheers I'll try that on my old BSA Airsporter.

[@thedeester100]

Shoot some normal pellets. The springer may have killed the scope.

[@meatheadmarksman2013]

it shoots normal pellets pretty good, scope still holds zero still too. not a bad option if you dont have much to spend that little gamo 4x

[@chrisfigueroa3361]

You are going to make me buy a bow aaaaahhhhh looks fun and dangerous lol but I like fun and dangerous sorry it's the other video I'm just watching all your videos today being lazy started off with the tuning video which I have watched like five times already anyway the bow videos are very interesting now I want one thanks for sharing

Neither the 22 barrel or the rangefinder have arrived yet :( make sure you send me a dm with your postal addresd

[@peteralexben]

most springers have a choke at the end of the barrel , look at that side to choose the right slug , i shoot a long time springers and found ,most shoot`s better with a lighter pellet , in, 25 the 25 grain jsb not the 33 ,a springer must get the pellet at max speed in the first 15 cm barrel or so ,and then the pellet leaves the muzzle before the piston rebounce .a short moment the piston is stopt at the aircolomn. ,thats most likely the point it`s most accurat.

[@meatheadmarksman2013]

Mine does shoot better the lighter you go pellet wise

[@peteralexben]

@@meatheadmarksman2013 ive got a hatsan .30 springer and that wil shoot accurat the 50 grain jsb pellet .and it can shoot a 79 grain slug when sized to .299. Then its just at barrel size .otherwise it cant seated by hand in the barrel .its a gun that is extremely sensitive at the holding . ive down right a inch at 30 meters is possible . with a jsb pellet .it has the largest spring and piston volume of production springers .a fx is a more forgiving gun with the hold.

Nice new hat!

[@meatheadmarksman2013]

Meathead Marksman I never had good results with the H&N slugs with power under 860FPS and only up to 50 meters. Good luck with the experimentation.

try on the impact and you will see..

[@maryolee8303]

Unless your springer can achieve 1000fps no slug will work. Even with that slugs can be hit or miss. I almost sold my bt65sb H&N grizzlies slugs would never hit the same spot twice. JSB & I kept it. Slugs are 4 PCP's Like piston AR15's I do not think slugs will be all the rage in a few years like they are now.

[@meatheadmarksman2013]

Yeah i didnt buy them for using in the springer, this is just for the sake of curiosity and fun. Fwiw the fx hybrids shoot about 1 to 2 inch groups at 20m, probably not really usable either lol

[@maryolee8303]

@@meatheadmarksman2013 hell of fast reply wasn't expecting it & I kinda knew you were just having fun. When I bought that Hatsan and all I had was Grizzlies I thought I wasted 580$ til I tried jsb i seriously wanted to cry until then. Love the name
