I’m curious if anyone has shot slugs in the 22 cal Barra 1100Z. I have ordered the 22 in barrel to replace the original 19 in barrel. Both barrels are 1-16 tw. I have ordered some NSA 17.5 gr slugs to start with. I know it is not a powerhouse rifle, other than being inexpensive I just don’t care to shoot pellets. Just curious if anyone has any real world experience with this matter. I think it has enough lungs to shoot the 17.5 NSAs or the 18 Griffins. Thanks Gary

I have. It sucks. You may max out your scope because the gun is so underpowered. It was meant to be a 40 yd gun for backyard plinking. Buy something better. If you know someone who is interested, I will give them mine, just pay postage. Hopefully that will help you.

Which barrel does your Barra have. The 19 inch or 22 in? I have ordered the longer barrel and will have it today. I’ll post my results later. Can you PM me? I’m not able to PM you yet due to Forum rules

I "THINK" it's the 22 inch. The 19inch was supposed to be installed in the older version of that gun. I'm supposed to have the newer version. Please respond to this thread and I will PM you tomorrow or something.
Thanks

I bought the 1100z .22 for myself at christmas time . It was very efficient for late season squirrels. I shot several dozen out to 40 yds.
Since then ive bought a couple regulated guns .
The 1100z does have pretty decent adjustment on the hammer spring, maybe you can get enough horsepower for a short string of lighter slugs . I look forward to reading your results.

Barra report, tried the NSA 17.5 gr .217 and it’s a no go. They won’t group and don’t fit in the magazine real well due to the ogive of the slug and short length. I will try the some Griffin 18 gr slugs. I do have an awesome tune for the JTS Dead Center 18.1 gr and Crosman Premier 14.3 gr. Both will shoot dime size 10 shot groups at 40 yds. Will post again when I get the Griffins and do some testing.
