Daystate Regal also shoots the H&N slugs well

[Max115]

Did a bit of testing with my Daystate Regal .22 and found out it only likes the H&N 20.2gr, .217 slugs.

Since I can't adjust the Reg and hammer spring of the Regal easily like my Impact, I was limited to shoot certain types of slugs. So I tried the lightest slugs, 17.5 - 23gr of both the NSA and H&N. The Walter barrel is choked and the feed was very tight with the .217 but surprisingly the H&N 20.2gr gave me the highest group of all. I was able to print a 1/4" hole with 5 shots group at 30 yards. My next test is to shoot at longer distance to see if this slug is "the One".

Awesome!

But I believe the 20.2s are NSA not H&N!

Those 20.2 seem to do very well in lower power guns. My s410 shoots them very well too.

Very nice grouping with the NSA 20.2 gr .217 slugs 



Do you know at which velocity ???

@Chuck yes you are correct. The 20.2gr was NSA. Typo on my behalf. I did a bit of plinking this morning and tested the H&N 21gr .217. They were pretty good as well. 


@soren. Sorry I wasn’t able to chrony the speed last time. I will next time when I am out plinking again. The weather has been bad as of late.

That is good to hear. I ordered both the .217 and .218 sample packs last week to try in my Regal XL and although it's only a 15 fpe gun, Brocock Contour just for snicks.

I should have order sample packs of the .177 while i was at it, but with a shipping of only $7, I figured I wait awhile to see what others experience.

@soren. my Regal shoots the NSA 20.2gr .217 at 714fps. very slow but accurate enough for short ranges I guess. It wasn't my intention to shoot slugs with it anyway but just for kicks I tried the slugs and found its preference.



@cea. samples pack is the way to go to test which weight and size your gun will prefer. It is a lot of work, but hopefully finding the right pellet/slug will make your AG that much more consistent and accurate.
