I finally found some slugs that a couple of my guns shoot at least fairly well late last year. I had more trouble finding an accurate slug than an accurate pellet and still do not have one for most of my guns. I tried Grizzlies in my 2 25s and both hate them. One of my guns likes a NSA slug and another likes a fairly light H&N slug.

Slugs are no different than pellets in the respect that it's a trial & error method to find "the one" that works best. Keep trying & asking others experience too. There's a reason that there's not overwhelming praise for Grizzlies. See what other owners of the same gun are using.

Hmmm! I found that the scope had twitched slightly. Effed me up for about four tins (hey, impretty new at this). Im doin o.k. With em but not best accuracy. I really like their knockdown tho. Six squirrels today, only one ran off. Two doa and couple crippled for coup de gras. So… thank you guys for your info and thots. They mostly run off and die with the hunter’s. This forum rocks

Would anybody care to recommend a slug they like for acciracy? .25 cal. Wildcar mk3 is a slug gun so…?

Grizzly slugs are garbage. Tried them in 3 calibers in 3 known good sluggers, just trash. Melt them and cast into a good slug.
25 is tricky for FX. .249 work well,NSA,,FX hybrids, Zan and plenty of others.

Run offs mean you didn't place the shot properly (mine too). You can't fix bad placement with a different projectile. I have no problem getting DRT results, especially with 25s, with simple domed pellets.

Does a stock wildcat mk3 have an stx heavy liner installed? If not, you are limited to pellets and hybrids.

Definitely I recommend ZAN 33gr 22.cal 218, also I’m working on AEA 38.6 slugs the groups @150 yards are really good.

I cant answer the liner bit but the mk3 is sold as a high power slug gun… so. And, whoever mentioned scope shooting basics is spot on of course. But i am dialed in now the scope mounting is tight, again.. it shoots pretty well unless i twitch.

I’m not using my M3, I’m using my FX KING 600 22.cal,and my setting are :
REG-148.5, PW on 18, Micro W 3 3/4, 990 FPS for ZAN SLUGS 33gn.
And for the AEA SLUGS 38.6 I increase the PW to 23 and the speed I’m getting about 925/930 FPS.
