Air gun slugs

Postby Deallad » Wed Apr 14, 2021 12:49 pm

Been watching a lot of videos on Youtube relating to air rifle slugs recently and decided to give them a try.

Was very surprised at the accuracy of them through my kalibrgun Argus at 25m a single hole on the target.

At first I thought I had missed the target so shot one slug at each target on a 5 spot card and was amazed with the results.

22gn H&N sized to .217

Hi, I've always referred to all airgun pellets as slugs, what distinguishes a slug from a pellet or the recent air gun bullets. I would like to try something a bit heavier in my Theoben Rapid FAC , I tried some of the bullet shaped 32 grain ones but they wouldn't chamber so the whole tin minus one went back to the shop.

32gn are a bit heavy.

I like the 21 and 22gn variants they seem to suite my gun best.

The FX Htbrid's seem to give the best stopping power and the H&N seem to give the best accuracy, the South African Patriot Javelin 23gn giving great results too.

Pinpoint accuracy out to 100 yards

Target shot at 40 yards
