I'm one of those that likes shooting long range. 100 feels too close. Steel at 300 & 400 yards. Squirrels at 120 - 300. :) Built up a long range slug gun too powerful to shoot at Starlings safely anymore. So just started using a low power .22 pellet pusher I have. Still got to shoot slugs out...

I spoke to an engineer at an oring manufacturing plant about polyurethane a couple years ago. He said Buna is good for static applications. Poly. is for maintaining a seal with moving parts and wear resistance. I have 2 -90 durometer. polyurethane orings inside of a balance valve I made...

@Ezana4CE - Here's a couple photos of the Kalibrgun Colibri .22 cal. Left handed shooters wouldn't be very comfortable with one. For the 2 reasons I like it. Cocking/Safety. It has a left hand short 1.300" straight slide cocking mechanism, with a toggle type Safety under the shooters finger...

The Colibri is the only .22 cal. that will be with me until kick off. It's a one of a kind. Anti double load, cocking like all guns should have, safety right where it should be and in a small light weight gun.

Like NWIND said, I would go for heavier slugs in .25 cal. . About 31 - 50+ gr. would be better for a .25 cal. The cores should be cut as close to a clean flat cut as possible. Put those side cutters away. Wrong tool for the job. Those angled cuts can break a HP eject pin tip off if used to...

Looks like your thread is becoming a safety meeting. Common sense, know whats behind your target. I thought overkill is making a Starling explode into pieces, from a moderately powered .22 or .25 cal. slug. Projectiles, purpose? Necessity? I don't shoot pellets anymore, so I won't make...

Is this close to what you want? You got one finally.(y)

I considered one of these guns. The mag. is too short though. Won't handle a long enough slug for me. I would make these changes if I did get one. Make and install a balance valve in it. Open the valve throat and poppet size. Lower reg. pressure and install a much lighter hammer spring...

Like @Motorhead said, "slugs built for the guns". I doubt 2 tins will be enough. I've shot lots of these slugs. That high BC .2475" slug was made for the Evo .25 platform. I thought the Evo guns were setup for this slug out of the box. Might be good to call Skout.

I would be in these two guys camp. Shooting for fun and pushing the limits. Average distance would be 300 - 500 yards is what blows my skirt up. I do get the short range pellets use though. The term air gun is misleading to me. The manufactures have done a great job making "pellet guns"...

I was always shooting pellets at 100 about 7-8 years ago. Once I started shooting slugs, it was a lot more challenging to keep pushing the range. I've been pleasantly surprised just how well this setup works actually. No more mod's. for this gun, just trigger time now. Shot a couple sub MOA...

Here's a paper target I shot at 300 yards with 5 - 5 shot groups on it. Conditions were very light wind. This is the only target I shot to confirm that my slug-gun and slug were fairly consistent to at least 300 yards. With a high BC 50gr. - .25 cal. slug I make and a custom slug gun I've...

Looks like 14 hits on a 2' square. That's a large target even at 600. My only question is out of how many shots fired?

700 - 750 FPS at impact works.
