I don’t think slugs group even at high power just look at this report, JSBs one hole group at that distance.

There is no more pin point accuracy we would prefer.

The Current state of affairs and that’s with a special slug barrel or what they claim it is. idon’t know what the authors aim is but for me all that is unacceptable precision. Sorry

Pellets excellent at short airgun distances, slugs are apparently poor both short and long range. it is your choice lol

What is this craze about irresponsibly pushing the distance? Does not make any sense to me. If you can’t hit a bottle cap repeatedly, that’s where you stop FFS!

The guy says

I ended up polishing my slug liner. I used 320 grit, 400 grit, 1000 grit and finally with 2000 grit. I did the whole barrel but focused a lot of my effort on the choke

Are these liners chocked?
If these slug liners are chocked you have to size the slugs to the choke if that can be done and they're not too small already.
1/21 twist rate makes it a slow twist, slugs generally like to have spin in the smaller calibers.

.25 is a pistol calibre never known for it's accuracy in slugs same as 9mm.
.257 on the other hand can be accurate I posted a link above of what can be achieved but it still isn't quite pin point accuracy. I mentioned above too that they guys with fx slug liners in .25 can't hit the proverbial barn door at a 100 yards.

Makes me wonder if the art barrels from daystate are shooting the jumbo heavy's or another heavy pellet...
