I'm considering a 700 mm Panthera in .22 cal. What brand, size and weight slug are people using? My intended purpose is long range target shooting.
FX Panthera ammo

Mine prefers the ZAN 30.5 Gr. I have tried the NSA and Patriot Stryker slugs up to .40 Gr. The 30.5 Gr Zans shoot by far the best in my rifle. Shooting at 1060 FPS.

Altaros ATP King .22 5,52mm 40grain shoots great. 
. Haven't shoot any other brands. No need to do so

Javelin .218 in 34 grain. Have them going 950 fps and can cover the group at 100 yards with my thumb.

I recommend NOT trying the Altaros ATP Smooth BT either in .22 at 32.3 grains or .25 in 49.5 grains, both at between 885 and 900 fps.
Because all the other slugs that you have and have been testing will quickly become lead weights in your range bag!...
The .22 with a BC of G1 0.18, and the .25 with a G1 BC of 0.21 will make you a believer in the science of ballistics...

Hi mr danny
I also recently bought a fx panthera caliber .22 barrel 700mm. And my purpose of using it is only accurate shots from the table and at a distance of 300 meters in a friendly club. The ammunition available to me is 34 grain slug. Currently, the thing that confused me and I could not get to the best state is the most optimal setting of the hammer and regulator pressure for accurate shots at this distance without putting too much pressure on the gun and damaging the hammer. According to the previous shots with fx m3, I use .217 diameter slugs, but I don't know if you suggest .218 diameter for panthera? Can you help me to achieve the best accuracy at a distance of 300 meters with a 34 grain slug? With what level of diameter and what level of regulator pressure and hammer settings?

No rifle is the same…you will have to go through the tedious process of filling and re filling the tiny bottle and shooting several weeks different weights and different speeds and different settings… it is a frustrating task…good luck…Hi mr danny

Yes … you are obliged to do that in a rifle designed for long distance shots with heavy slugs and tiny bottle…
Picked up my .22 Dynamic today.
Factory tune:
Regulator: 125 bar
Power wheel: 19
Micro adjuster: 2.5
Altharos 31gr slugs
~930 FPS

Try a slower speed…between 860 and 880…flyers like high speed…shooters tend to favor higher speeds…but high speeds may affect accuracy…specially with light slugs…
