Huben .25 Slugs for GK1?

Anyone try the Altaros slugs for Huben? Looks like a good design with the ribs for minimal extra friction like a pellet, similar to Bob’s. I just don’t see a place to get them in USA.

NSA .254 slugs, which actually measure .255, are by far the best slugs for the gk1.
33.6gr slugs are great if you're looking to optimize the cylinder capacity for a full magazine.
Here is a 17 shot mag dump at 15 yards using a bag rest @ ~1 shot/sec using primary arms slx 3x prism.

AVS makes the .254 that fit the mag. but the 42gr I tryed were not very accurate, at least in my gun.

I made a custom die for the .25 cal GK1 that shoots .253 slugs MOA at 110 yards. I’m in the process of setting up a website to sell them but you can contact me and I can send you some samples in the five different weights.

Why slugs in the GK1?
I’m genuinely curious.
Pellets are super accurate and never cause jams.

Pellets are accurate out to around 50 yards in the GK1 but slugs are more accurate at 50 yards and beyond. Also slugs are more lethal and therefore better and for pest control and hunting. Also if you have the right slug, it is actually more accurate than any pellets at any distance in the GK1 as the K1 and GK1 was primarily designed to shoot slugs.

Big BIG thumbs up here for @DMTman! I received a sample of his 50gr, 40gr (haven’t shot the 33gr yet) but can vouch that these are my favorite slugs I’ve run through all of my .25 (Lelya 2.0, Matador Long and GK1) - these are special in that I haven’t found a single slug yet that will run in all three cycling properly. I’ve tried ZAN, Altaros (good too in the GK but expensive), FX hybrids… but I prefer one slug to rule them all. I also prefer the heaviest slugs I can run in all my gear, and these fit the bill perfectly. Highly recommend you grab yourselves a sampler and send them downrange.
Peace,
Mark
P.S. they’re also very handsome.

If you haven't tried them yet, the NSA .254 have worked the best in the K1 for me in the past.
