.217 NSA Slugs with FX Slug Liner A?

I finally had the chance to test the NSAs out of my Impact at longer distance. At 144y, there did not seem to be any differences between the .217 and .218 (23gr) slugs out of my 600mm liner.

The .217 21gr NSAs seemed to hook right a bit (opposing the ~5-7mph right to left breeze that I had).

Did you get a chance to shoot for groups at 100?

Yeah, but it was a pretty treacherous day. The roads were closed off and I had to actually snowshoe the rest of the way. I did a zero session at 50y, then plinked some big patches of snow around 100 to get my scope subtentions figured out. I probably shot 2/3 of a standard 22 mag at that range. 

Afterwards, I was comfortable enough to use what was left of the one slightly legible splatter target that survived my hike (3 mile snowshoe each way) in. I brought two targets taped to cardboard backings, but they were toast by the time I got to my spot (the semi good one was mush by the time I brought it back to my shooting pad from where I had it setup).

Side note, snow pack on objects makes for pretty good impromptu targets. The holes were pretty easy to spot with my SHV at 20x out to as far as 150.

An idea of the conditions that I've been dealing with this last month:

I’ve got an m3 standard liner and it shoots hybrids very well. Looking for a more economical option. 

Should I start with the NSA 22 23g in 217 or 218? 

Anyone have any experience with a standard liner and NSA slugs?

Thanks!
