Why didn’t you try 33 gr as these are absolutely brilliant in most guns and then you can compare like for like with neilson slugs specially if you can run them at 940 - 980 fps but they do work very well at lower speeds as well

I have tried 21 gr .22 at 870 and accurate, but run them at 945 and accurate at 150+ yards

Discovery ffp works really well , hawke vantage , hawke airmax , west hunter Have a look here brilliant person to deal with https://premium-quality-air-rifle-accessories.ecwid.com/

You are better off with normal scope and pard 007 for night . Imo 008 in day time is no where good as a scope

Thermal spotter pard 007 is all you need or just a pard 007

Slugs will work from 880 fps if your gun is set up . I use either H&N 21 gr 218 or ZAN 21 gr 217 , but find ZAN slugs deform more on impact . Both accurate at 100+ yards

Trouble is most are looking for the holy grail

Tried makos slugs but could not get them to work in my guns

Some interesting points to take account of . I do shoot .22 FAC more than any other gun running at 950 fps with ZAN 21 gr slugs . Might look into 177 FAC a bit more , specially for a few squirrel & wood permission’s, 9 hole golf course / small sporting centre I have , but can’t complain with kill rate with .177 sub 12

I must admit love shooting 177 sub 12 @ 810 fps with 7.9 gr JSB express . Now it’s got me thinking about one in FAC , but I can’t see any advantage over the other two Cals at the moment I shoot both .22 & .25 at 25 -100+ yards and wonder where 177would fit in

So why is it not that popular Stu , you are the only person I know of owning one . I have asked at several clubs to see if anyone is shooting one , get a vary strange look when I asked 😁

Any point in FAC.177 ? personal I can’t see no advantage , in fact disadvantage over .22 &.25 and have read that .25 is the ultimate cal for FAC air with speed , weight & size . is that why not many have FAC .177 . I only know one person who swear by .177 FAC I think he might be on this forum 😁 what are your thoughts

Ultra are very good , but needs a reg fitted . Wouldn’t sell mine though and had it tuned with reg fitted If you want the best off the shelf sub12 then HW100 K , I also have one these , you don’t need to touch them for years and years

Reported back to ZAN with my findings and he is making me a new design in 10 gr slug . ZAN and his company are absolutely unbelievable how many would go this far . I have tried most British companies for slugs , just wish the attitude was more like ZAN !!

Yes a few are looking in to lead free slugs now and hopefully might be testing a few very shortly

Accuracy is not a problem but low ftlbs is and will not shoot vermin less than 11ftlbs

Slugs are definitely more suited to FAC ZAN slugs in .22 & 25 are some of the best I have tried on accuracy & expansion even out to 150+ yards

Tried the both the 10 gr ones last night in my HW100K & ultra . Accurate out to 40 yards but HW running @9.75 , ultra 10.8 ftlbs so lower power than pellets

Yes free and postage payed for as well

Received these slugs from ZAN today to try FOC including postage What a great bloke & company to deal with

Had three in the past but couldn’t get on with them . Much prefer the ultra out of any of the BSA guns and specially after a reg and tune

Yes and me

Well I have more ZAN .177 slugs coming next week in different weights to try . Will let you know what they are like . I am impressed with 10.3 gr ZAN slugs so far that’s for sure

JSB heavies 11.6

All depends on the gun and gun tune like I said had the ZAN slugs running @ 11.3ft in my regged BSA ultra and low 10 high 9 ftlbs in my HW100k
