Hahaha I’ll let you know in a couple of weeks separately, krale just shipped, so now to get some .177 slugs real quick, any suggestions?

They're typically faster than domestic sources.... I think you'll be surprised how fast it arrives.

Ah and don’t say mk iii 13.4 since they are out of stock at pyramid

Don't get 13.43 they suck. Mk 3 is only 10.03 or at least I thought. The 10.03s is where it's at. Trenier has the best deals on them now.

Accuracy wise they're good. But man they do not expand(the 13.43 KO)

Maybe you can "trade A Loan " meaning trade rifles with someone that lives near (a few hours drive) you for a few weeks ?

Good idea… too late though since I ordered from krale already

Thank you!!

Lol you'll end with a .30 if you order that from them. Right Jace?

Hahahaha just saw this. Well, if it’s a .30 then I’ll have a .30 I guess

 

[Smok3y]

Dang guys. All these conversations have me considering 177 slug gun again. I almost tried it with a Delta Wolf earlier in the year but gave up in the platform too early.

I have been trying to find something completely new, and this would fit that…

@greenbeans
I'd be getting on ebay and grabbing some .1778 VarmintKnockers. Soft lead, giant HP cavities. And man does that man ship fast and communicate well. Another fantastic recommendation from @JaceSpace1369

Contact Dale Varmint Knockers on ebay, he makes amazing stuff, get the .178 sized slugs. Go to contact seller and ask for different sizes, NSA also work well in the barrel.

Yeah, I got my gun from Krale, albeit the wrong one in less than seventy two hours. They tried to make it right, but it was easier for me to just keep it. I order a v3 177 synthetic and received a v3 .30 wood lol.

Accuracy wise I've been able to hit golf balls 3 consecutive times at 130yds with the 13.43gr jsb slugs in 5mph winds

Definitely. I could pack them tight with the hatsan. The problem was the icepicking. I sent you that pic of the 13.43 shot into ballistic medium at 1000fps . You said that was good for that slug lol. Stark contrast from the 10.03 and the VK and take aim slugs which actually flatten completely or turn inside

13.43 at 1000 into medium.



16gr take aim at 760fps into squirrel..

 

[JaceSpace1369]

Also Zans seem to work according to one of the videos I saw.

Definitely! But these would be good on animals like raccoons.

Awesome, thanks!! Will throw some .177 in the cart next time I order .25 meanwhile went for a few tins of the 10gr MK iii and H&N 16gr (always was lucky with H&N so fingers crossed) to have something to shoot !

lol caliber I would tolerate, stock I’d probably have them send me the CF

Well, the V3 doesn't come with a carbon fiber stock lol. But this stock is super nice

I've never had good luck shooting any of the H&N slugs, in 177 so congrats to you! Lol

 

[greenbeans]

Uh oh my HN luck refers to .22 and .25, no idea how they will do in .177… will report back.

Yeah, H&N is amazing from .22 - .30

I have seen some good things about the Air Arms in terms of accuracy and power. Yet not any information pertaining to slugs. Not sure about all BRKs, but the ghost doesn't shoot slugs. Not sure about the rest of their line, Kalibrgun mags are not good for slugs unless you shoot longer heavy slugs. Idk anything about the RAW or FWB so I can't comment.

Yes, true about slugs in Kalibrgun mags. FWB are primarily 10M target rifles. I don't know why your insistence on shooting slugs unless you feel they work better for hunting or very long range shooting. That could be debated. Pellets can be quite deadly on small game as many have said here. The problem with slugs is that they have a narrow sweet spot for accuracy and you have to push them hard. My RAW shoots 13.4 gr Zans at 30.6 fpe, and it was specifically built to do that. I never shot pellets in it, but I guess I had better try. I doubt if many other rifles can be tuned that fast. Maybe an Impact.
