Hamster Posted November 29 I want some either way. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
figgy Posted November 29 Wonder who did make them as they use jsb pellets normally. Shame no one makes a lightweight slug for sub 12 guns. The better BC would be good and the expansion. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arron yeates Posted November 29 Have you seen the video for these by Justin at Utah Airgubs on youtube? Seems really good Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

villaman Posted November 29 Just seen this From the mouth of Rat Sniper Mike himself "As you all know by now, the FX Hybrids are out! Rat Sniper Slugs has teamed up with a local bullet manufacturing company that currently manufactures some of the best match pistol bullets on the planet. Their top machine technician is the one running the high speed machines. We had to have custom machines built to be able to produce this design… it's a much more involved manufacturing process than what it takes to produce a simple hollowpoint. I have teamed up with FX to utilize their worldwide dealer network and will no longer sell direct. I am manufacturing these exclusively for FX. Just to squash any rumors FX in no way backed me to aquire the machines – it's something I did on my own. I still have full rights over my patent pending hollow core design and I'm directly involved in the manufactu Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
figgy Posted November 30 (edited) Looking better all the time the advancement in air rifles and projectiles. Whether they will shoot out of a standard barrel remains to be seen. Most are pants unless you fit the slug liner to the FX guns. Edited November 30 by figgy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

figgy Posted November 30 The FX pellet barrels have twist rates and chokng to suit pellets. The slug liners are different. The new slugs maybe made to shoot out of both. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
villaman Posted November 30 I shoot H&N slugs out of both liners , pellet and slug liners , no difference in accuracy at all . The slug liner came and built on the neilson slugs . Don’t know what is going to happen now with neilson slugs ,should of made a effort to ship world wide Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
figgy Posted November 30 If these new ratsniper FX slugs work the slug liners will be obsolete for most people. They look like they will expand more than Nielsen slugs too. H&N haven't missed a trick either. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ultrastu Posted November 30 Im starting to get interested in these slugs now Especially as the .25 cal hybrid will be 26 grns .only 1 grain more than jsb kings . But with a much higher bc .. If they shoot well out of a standard st.barrel then i will be ecstatic . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

figgy Posted November 30 (edited) I hope they make .177 slugs, as the sub12 speed might be ok. Might start to see faster twist rates to suit slugs in the future. Edited November 30 by figgy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This would be exactly what id like to see aswell. .177 cal slug lightweight or approx 10 grain. For standard barrels. Yet to see anyone makimg this however slugs are getting more popular so maybe there comming??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
figgy Posted December 1 Video of the 22grain .22 FX slugs being shot at 940 FPS into clay from 70 or 100 yards out to 300 yards, it's by American airgunner. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arron yeates Posted December 1 Yeah not watched this yet. Startes to watch it then got interupted. On my list for tomorrow. Red box = .22 cal 22 grain What are the others i can read them Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
figgy Posted December 2 At a guess I'd say a heavier .22 and other bigger calibers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

figgy Posted December 2 I did read that, still needs to be seen to be believed. I hope they do as it will open slugs up to more people who don't want to buy a slug liner. 14.99 for a 100 in the USA, that'll be in pounds over here then. 15p per slug is expensive.
