Gotcha, so the 18gr need more speed, or twist. I have some 20gr and 23gr coming tomorrow. Definitely won't be going fast enough but hopefully they remain stable.

N/A .177 for slugs (primarily at least)?!
- Thread starter greenbeans
- Start date
Sounds promising!! UK seller though, didn’t find anything in the US yet and so far didn’t feel like the U2 could use a barrel band… but definitely worth an experiment

75 M / 82 Y shooting my two ( CZ barrel ) loaded with 13 gr Zan slugs.
Just dumping lead until i had too many misses ( 3 )
In the low light it was damn hard to see the individual hits, even the very first ones ( 30 X scope ) so just shoot until something turn up in the white part.
And guesstimate hold according to the swirling wind.
I am having great fun out to 120 M / 132 yards, though 16 grain are more accurate at that distance.

Alright so Saturday I got into the gun and reset the reg from the 1/8th turn I made back to where it was from factory ( I made my own marks). From there I did slightly over a 1/4 turn, I would say I turned the regulator up about 100⁰ CC. These are my results! I gotta work on the hammer adjustment but I need to remove some material from the stock. But at the moment even with the spread it's shooting fantastic!
I only got to try the 15gr VK in 1771 and 178. .1771 has the larger spread.

Ehhh I've said many things, I've never said I will never get rid of something though. I've been looking for platform like this for a very long time.

Just busting your balls…
I want to go the other way with mine, make it shoot the MK3 10.3 grn at the right speeds.
Explosive, no pass thru is appealing. Hopefully the gun likes them.
I‘lol shoot over the chrono today, see where I’m at.
I did get the carbon fiber stock, haven’t pulled it yet so no idea on hammer spring/stock adjustments yet.
and I didn’t change the cocking lever, not sure if I’m gonna like it on the left side but gonna give it a try

I'll tell you right now.I've never seen an air gun.In 177, that did not like those slugs. Doesn't matter if it's a pcp a pump or a brake barrel. 900 feet per second will be your friend, you can go down to 840, but stay in the 900's and higher.
