100 yards with sub but past that slugs win , plus shooting in trees with slugs

Shooting into trees, most definitely. These fac fx’s are formidable tools for sure

Just tried some h&n ftt’s, bisley superfield, bisley magnum, jsb 16grn, jsb 18grn, jsb slug 25grn and h&n slug 21grn all at 50 yards with a left to right breeze. Set at power 3 (around 33ft lbs). First two were sh1t, all over the place. Biz mags about 1/2 inch all the jsb’s on top of each other, as well as the h&n slugs. Out to 75 yards with the jsb 18 grain and bang on at one mill dot

Today, I only tried the 18 grain jsb pellets at 75 yards. I tried the jsb 25.3 grain slugs at 40ft lbs and at 90 yards they were accurate but three mill dots drop from 50 yard zero. A touch heavy maybe? I went out last week one evening with h&n 21 grain slugs and missed the first two rabbits over the top as I overcompensated. The third wasn’t so lucky as I’d got my act together. Less than two mill dots at 112 yards, popped its eyes out.

Slugs are definitely more accurate at range 

nice going at 112 yards
