bigmac 97kt 13,803 Posted May 23, 2021 Report Share Posted May 23, 2021 Right first off iv got to say a big thank you to Mitch(villaman) for sending me quiet a few of the new jsb slugs in 177 10,03gr Now you have to remember this is not a FAC rifle and dose not have a slug liner fitted to it the power is not terned up in any way what so ever its just a sub 12 rifle sitting at 11,01 flb iv been playing with it all day did a vid of shooting the targets and right from the off i was wtf naaaa cant be . to say they are accurate is an under statement sent the vid to si and he sent it to mitch honest lads its blown me away remember this is a sub 12 rifle so i thought to my self iv got to get out and test them on the rabbits . So i sent sean a tx asking if he was going and when i did not get a reply i asked jason to tag along with me as my wife dose not want me going on my own any more incase i have another stroke when im out by my self . Got to the perm for around 6ish set the zero at 30yrds with the same results then drove into the farm yard came across one in the little garden took aim and the tank rolled back so i put the hand brake on and click click and the rabbit was off why the hell did i not just put my foot on the brake lol any way parked up and it was not long untill i got the first one only 25yrds but it was down Now these slugs hit hard real hard there is no mistaken the sound of them hitting your pray at all. second was much the same 40yrds and down it went a kneeling shot and lights out no jumping around no back flips just drops on the spot 3rd was a standing shot 30ish yrds now i had to shoot this one in the chest it took off but not far but had a right feck on finding it but i did . Im so impressed with the slugs in 177 in a sub 12 rifle all i want to know now is WHERE CAN I BUY THEM MITCH atvbjimmy 10 Quote Link to post

villaman 9,983 Posted May 23, 2021 Report Share Posted May 23, 2021 Looks like they work for you Jimmy but it’s more than likely going to be a few months yet , until they are available. Hoping to test them in my guns today. If I can’t get them to work , I will send the rest up to you 1 Quote Link to post

LuckOrJudgement 437 Posted May 23, 2021 Report Share Posted May 23, 2021 Nice write up. I thought slugs were only any good in fac rifles so this is very enlightening. Will be trying some myself. Quote Link to post

I really hope they work well in the hw100, could be a bit of a game changer at longer range in a 12ft lb .177? 1 Quote Link to post

The exact 8.4’s are good, but the heavies have the edge on them at range. The 13 grain monsters and 16 grain beasts weren’t so good though. In fact, the 16 grain were all over the place at any distance. 1 Quote Link to post
philpot 5,007 Posted May 23, 2021 Report Share Posted May 23, 2021 Well I never thought I would hear our Jimmy say that he loves slugs . Just ordered my Verminator .22 fac but no stock in the uk so I think it will be 6-8 weeks which is not great but my variation might take that long anyway. Phil Quote Link to post

My last variation last year only took just over a week. Got it back before they cashed the cheque. In fact, got my renewed tickets back last week, two months before the old ones expire. All done on phone, great service 1 Quote Link to post
