N/A Benjamin Armada/Marauder & DAR Gen 3 owners.. Have a look!

[Jake4578]

This post is for anyone with an Armada/Marauder & or a DAR Gen 3, I have been searching and testing slug after slug after slug trying to find something these 2 in particular like, I’ve been through TONS and was about to call it & come to terms with these 2 being strictly pellet spitters! well yesterday I got a Tin of Rifle Slug Series, 18.21gr HPs & holy hell, I only have 45yds on my property at the farthest point I can stretch out, but these 2 groups are each 1 whole mag (10rds) one from the DAR and one from the Armada, (Both on factory out of the box tune) like a laser.. 1/2” maybe sub 1/2” I didn’t measure exactly, my battery is dead in my Mic.. @ 45yds.. I didn’t expect much from these because they are reasonable and not expensive slugs.. but boy oh boy, the search is over.. The Benjamin Armada/Marauder & the DAR (Dynamic Air Rifles) Gen 3 are 3 of my absolute favorite rifles & if this post helps anyone in saving yourself some time & money looking for a slug that works in these particular barrels, Awesome! I hope everyone has a great weekend!!

Maybe I will try some in .25. But, really, what do slugs offer at 50 yards and under that pellets cannot equal or better?

Good info, worth a try. Thus far I have seen only scatter gun results from various mostly H$N slugs.

Im not sure that there is any benefit of slugs @ under 50yds this was just about me on a mission to find a slug that worked in those specific rifles..lol & thought I would share the results & in my opinion, chances are if it’s 1/2” or sub 1/2” @ 50yds when you stretch it out theres a likely chance the results will be good there also.. I’m no expert, I just love tinkering! Lol

great group. I've tried those in my marauder f&t and it seems to kinda like them. No where near that good. I'm probably not pushing them fast enough though.

Those are very nice results. Thanks for sharing. Question thou are the groups better than your groups with pellets at that range? Also, are all 3 of the rifles tested fitted with choked barrels like my Marauder 22 LW barrel? Thanks in advance, I might try slugs now.

The barrels are whatever is factory.. They group just as well as pellets in short ranges.. I was just on a quest to find a slug that worked in these guns..

...

Those Rifle slugs are a little cheaper than an equivalent JSB pellet. Slugs would also have less wind drift, and better energy retention. The accuracy looks good in this instance.

What does a pellet do better?

I have not been able to get 15gr rifle slugs shoot just do sort of OK in any of my 2 rifles.

Okay, in my rifles pellets are more accurate, shoot at a higher muzzle velocity for similar weight and at 50 yards still retain more energy.

Next time I place an order I will try some of the .25 Rifle Slugs.
