Thanks for the post I am not a slugger but your post prompted me to cruise the retailers website and I found these , gotta be new or I have just been over looking them. Order placed.AEA Long Range Master slugs, these must be brand new, in .22, .25 and .30

Let us know what you find out! I tried the 66gr and 50.2gr .30 slugs from AEA out of my G2 .30 and the slugs weren't all that stellar, pellets did alright 1st 4 shots. At 96yds I got a 2in vertical groups and the the last one went about an inch left. Couldnt say it if was me or the wind. But there's potential.
Ask for and you shall receive. Were they the absolute best thing since sliced bread and bacon...nope, haven't found that YET but they were equal to my RMR/FX Hybrids at 26 yards which means .375 hole for 16 rounds at 25 yards. 2.5 sd at 984 average, 138 bar on 2nd reg. 60 Ft Lbs at the muzzle.
Sweet, that's awesome to hear! Definitely a no brainer. Hope you can lock in that tune and thanks for the info!
I'll tell you why. Not everyone has an FX that can do 100FPE, but a lot of people over the past 10 years have bought Marauders that only do around 40FPE +/- and can't get decent numbers out of anything heavier. It is the same for the .22, not many people have brand new guns that can do over 35FPE, yet they seem to make things for the miniscule minority that have 120FPE .22's. Producing some lighter weight slugs is where they are going to make their money, for a while, until everybody gets the latest and greatest highpower airguns. Most of the airgunners (though not on these forums) are still shooting springers bought from box stores.
Yeah, those .22 slugs, I'm not sure how in the hell I'd ever get enough air to move them out of my Maverick Compact, so they are a non-starter for me. Now the 30.2gr .25's are fine. I can switch between them, the 33.9 pellets and 26gr Hybrids and not change a thing, not even the HSA. 140 bar on the 2nd reg, Slug probe and slug port and let fly. Oh my Maverick Compact likes the 21gr RMR/FX hybrids just fine they come in at 40ish ft. lbs.
I messed with the tune a little and it is what it is. For giggles I put a little Mobile 1 on 10 slugs to see what would happen. A BIG FAT ZERO.....as in no change what so ever. The thud from the slugs on my steel trap is pretty darn solid, not sure how hard the lead is. Hoping to get out next week and see if some ground squirrels are out and about for some practical testing. I suppose I could ask for a gray squirrel volunteer but the Mrs. would do me bodily harm.
