Pro-hunter slugs .22 17.8gn

[angrybear]

Just wondered if anyone had tried the above in sub 12 yet ?

I've just received a tin of 100, not cheap at £21, but the lightest slugs I've seen, so worth a try.

Weather has been too poor to test them, but certainly they look superb,
even under a magnifying glass the finish is exceptional & the weight spot on, all 100 within 0.3gn, 17.6-17.9gn.

Just hope the accuracy matches the quality.

What are you planning to hunt or shoot with them? At 12ftlbs they aren't going to be any better than a 18g jsb. Polymag aren't bad. But rws hobby are excellent aswell

maybe, maybe not. their ballistic coefficient is much better, but conversely, they are likely to make less at the muzzle.

It depends on how tight they are in barrel. Being slugs they usually have a larger bearing surface on barrel. Granted these are fairly light weight. As you say, at the muzzle they may or may not be faster than a diabolo pellet. My fac 25 does 52ftlbs with pellets 40ftlbs with fx hybrid slugs. There too tight. But very accurate.

All barrels are different, the FX hybrid .25 were pretty damn poor in my FAC.

In my .22 the standard JSB Exact jumbo 16gn is very good but the Express & RS less so, the heavy 18gn & monster 25gn are frankly cr*p.

But regardless of that, My question was "Has anyone tried the pro-hunter slug ?"
I wasn't asking for a debate on the best .22pellet

[Shed tuner]

not tried in .22, but I did try them in .177 and they were decent - not quite as good as JSB pellets, and the improved BC was outeighed by the lower ME, but it was all very close.. but no cigar. Be good to know how you get on with these in .22

angrybear don't know if you've used this site but they are slightly cheaper on there for the slugs with free post in the UK?

Thanks, I had found the site due to the blurb that came with the slugs, it was from them but off the bay hence the extra cost.
Still £18.30 for 100 direct.
