My .177 Snowpeak p35 absolutely loves ZAN 10 grain slugs. More expensive but great fun. Very magazine friendly for my gun.

[@RealAirgunAdventures]

I'll have to track some down and give them a fty. Thanks. 👍

[@markhomer5704]

Never tried slugs in any of my rifles , at some point im gonna have too , you know , curiosity killed the cat anawl that. ... good results though , id be well chuffed with them

[@RealAirgunAdventures]

Hi Mark, Definately worth a try. These pro hunter slugs seem very good. I'm definately going to have a go with a springer or two.

[@PlanetDrewdog]

Good stuff brother. I did put a few KO slugs through an Express Compact .22 (11.55 fpe with Hades) out of curiosity - it destroyed stuff up to 20yrds but chrono'd at 9.15 with the slugs... as you'd expect. Hard work for a springer I guess 😁

[@RealAirgunAdventures]

I've still got to try out the springer. I think if they do retain 70% plus energy, they might be viable. Maybe I'll shoot some bars of soap for a penetration test. I've got to catch up with videos, still haven't watched a few. 👍👊

[@luisferreira633]

I just received my first pack of 100 slugs from same company, I'm coming into my days off work and i will be trying them on my steyr hunting 5. It likes the jsb slugs so i have high hopes for this slugs. Very nice work i will be experimenting with my hw77 spring rifle to see the results too 😀 👍 Keep up the good work mate 👍

[@Airgunfunrich]

I believe mako slugs are made for sub 12 rifles an shoot fine out of mine so do the JSB knock outs but my other rifle doesn’t like them…

[@RealAirgunAdventures]

I've almost bought the knock outs but the fella in the shop talked me out of it. All rifles and barrels are different, it's a case of suck it and see.

[@Airgunfunrich]

@@RealAirgunAdventures definitely my gamo boxer likes completely different pellets an slugs to my Ixia and my HW77 likes different pellets to my brothers…

[@RealAirgunAdventures]

@@Airgunfunrich it's funny that two rifles, same brand, same model like different pellets. Strange things, Air guns.

[@Airgunfunrich]

@@RealAirgunAdventures all barrels are not made equal.. I’ve watched a few videos about barrel polishing and how it can make them less pellet fussy. Bought some stuff to do it so will give it a try an see what happens at weekend

[@RealAirgunAdventures]

@@Airgunfunrich I'd love to know how that works out.

[@Ambushcraftnhunting]

Well I'm impressed with them for sure buddy thanks for sharing

[@RealAirgunAdventures]

No worries mate. I managed to get one of those silverback tee shirts, for the mother in law. 👍

[@ElSunzalBeachHome]

I tried a lot of different weight slugs on both a .25 and .22 Hatsan Flashpups and none of them liked any slugs! No groups at all

[@RealAirgunAdventures]

I found the prohunter 10.5gn, hight impacts were very good.

[@stephengunrunnerhanson3550]

My Hw 35e loves 13g slugs and accuracy that shocks compared to any other pellets and I am happy at 25 to 35m and it's pro hunter to I like and there like self lubed

[@RealAirgunAdventures]

That's great to hear. I'll be trying some in my lgu and hw77. Looking forward to it. 👍

[@stephengunrunnerhanson3550]

None of my 22 rifles liked but 35e is 177 and I am happy cost a little more then pellets but and the quality is very good I went through them and found no bad ones I do allot of vermin control with my 35e and ithe knock down is very impressive

[@Campero1115]

Me gustó. Excelente.

[@RealAirgunAdventures]

Thanks, and thanks for watching.

[@stevestewart4416]

Thanks for the video, very interesting, do you have any thoughts on lead free,I'm getting a bit worried thats all we are going to be able to use in the near future 🙁

[@RealAirgunAdventures]

I think the day will come but by then all of us carbon based lifeforms will be outlawed too. I'll grab some green pellets and do a test. 👍

[@stevestewart4416]

@@RealAirgunAdventures they are doing a consultation at the moment, it's giving me trouble sleeping at night 😅

[@RealAirgunAdventures]

@@stevestewart4416 many years ago I sat on a committee that was deciding if solid fuel power stations should be replaced. I believe they are still discussing the issue. If you need boot leg lead pellets, I have a contact. 😅🤣😂

[@stevestewart4416]

@@RealAirgunAdventures cheers!🤣🤣

[@julianweeks326]

My flashpup likes the 13g pro Hunter's, I've splattered a good few rats down the garden over the winter and spring.

[@RealAirgunAdventures]

They certainly worked well when I tested them. I havent gotten around to doing a video yet. I xould wnd up with just a xhannel full of slug shooting.

[@James28R]

retained energy wont be any difference sub or fac. once its left the barrel its all about the ballistic coefficient, which though better when shot faster, isnt much difference

[@RealAirgunAdventures]

Thanks James 👍

[@LowkeyAirgunner]

I would take this group from slugs! {12Fpe sounds like alot for me yet so no slugs haha...canadian carry permit process is finaly started tho 😁} Very few springer can shoot slugs! I hope yours is one of them haha {I know one of "First state airgun" buddy like's to shoot slugs out of his gamo magnum haha} I bet the potato canon can shoot them fine!

[@RealAirgunAdventures]

I feel for you, Canadian law is off the scale. Best of luck with the permit. I'll have to do a Daisy mod 25 update just for you, a tuned version. 😉 . The potato launcher is looking more like an RPG 😅🤣😂

[@LowkeyAirgunner]

@@RealAirgunAdventures haha 495 fps upgraded daisy model 25 ! I think I need more patience than luck haha We will get there, soon or later} [It takes a bit of time]

[@RealAirgunAdventures]

@@LowkeyAirgunner Don't forget to let me know when you get it

[@LowkeyAirgunner]

@@RealAirgunAdventures the thing is the carry permit {100$ class}doesnt give you the right to buy one! I need the Pal liscence too {85$/4years} haha [What a process]

[@RealAirgunAdventures]

@@LowkeyAirgunner good lord! I hear that Idaho or North Dakota are nice places ro live 🤣

[@gumbystown]

😪😌

[@RealAirgunAdventures]

How's that new B3-3, had a chance to get out with it yet?

[@gumbystown]

@@RealAirgunAdventures well I like it but it's not as accurate as I would even attempt to like but I still need to clean the barrel and a few other things and maybe I will have better accuracy that'll make it much better but I can't hit my 1in spinning Target it at 15 yd

[@RealAirgunAdventures]

@@gumbystown a good clean and different pellets might be as simple as that. If you're using the open sights, check they are on straight. My old B2 is about 1mm off. That makes a big difference past 10 yards.

[@LowkeyAirgunner]

I agree with Mr, my B2 will group fine with very few pellets yet! {H&n hammers and jsb rs} If it never has been barrel cleaned do it...mine was filthy and it shot alot better after Depending on wich seal it got it might need oil too! [I actually have a b2 playlist you might like, shooting it out of the box and trying to make it shoot decent with not much!]

[@RealAirgunAdventures]

@@LowkeyAirgunner I'll have a look at that too.v
