That's a valid comment.
Like most shooting you need to test. Unfortunately test slugs aren't available. So you experiment.
I'm fortunate to have a few barrels in .22, a .217 23.6 grain GMI slug works well in a evanix, LW and RTI barrels. Tested out to 135 m.
Unfortunately I don't have target pictures, but I haven't bought any slugs since I got the swage kit.
Currently I'm wanting a .177 GMI swage, simply waiting for feedback from UK testers.
A sub 12 ft lbs slug swage is on test, apparently. Yes I also like lower power challenges.
Apologies for no target pictures, after suffering a stroke earlier this year I have to rely on natural targets, stones, pebbles, fruit on trees etc.
Immobility hinders a lot but much satisfaction is attained by shoot something you made yourself. Life!

There was a lot of accuracy testing data put up on gmi forum with some stunning results by members who had bought dies and swaged their own slugs.
The accuracy from these slugs is top drawer if made and used correctly as it's not a one size suits all barrels .
So you need to experiment with different diameters of caliber and shape of base and hollow and grain of slug to find what works or not for you "simples"
