Edgun Leshiy 2 Shooting Slugs

[dailynug]

Does anyone have information on how Edgun Leshiy 2 shoots slugs? I am interested to know if the platform will be able to shoot more than just pellets. The FX guns have a proven track record shooting slugs consistently and accurately (with slug liners). Does the L2 barrel have a high enough twist rate to shoot slugs without a liner? Any real world data on how the L2 shoots .22 caliber slugs (21 grain) or .25 caliber slugs (34 grain) would be awesome.

Cool avatar. Haven’t seen the Atari logo in quite a while.

If you're interested in using slugs, the AVS Slugs 3033 fit without sliding out.

I've been having very good accuracy with the NSA .2165 20.2gr slugs @ 825-830 fps out of the .22/350mm LW barrel. Nice little groups at 40-50 yards. Groups spread if you push the fps higher.

Have you tried any other slugs? I have the same setup, i.e. 350mm .22 LW, I want to shoot slugs but it would cost a fortune to test all of them, and unfortunately we can't get all the slugs here in Europe.

Here is a video Brian shared with me regarding the Leshiy 2 and slugs.

They don't fall through the magazine?

Of course they do. I just leave a mag on the gun and fill with a speed loader. That 5 pack speed loader you posted in your other thread would be perfect.

Have you tried these? Wonder what type of performance you get. I'd be concerned the extra 3 thou would cause a lot of friction digging into lands in the barrel. I was sold on the .2513 AVS for a while but ultimately gave up getting great groups with them.

Has anyone tried the Javelin slugs in the leshiy?

.25 Cal Leshiy! w 350 mm barrel........... .254 are the Cats Meow! getting jus' a Lil' over 1/2 ' @ 50 yards @ 930 fps......Great Woods Walker w/ hollow point expansion Semi Auto & double Tap!.

In the .25 I recently received . I can only fit .252 or smaller into the magazines. Once I get to do some longer distance shooting I’ll find what size works best. I do cast my own BBT ‘s in both 41 and 51 grain. But haven’t had much luck with either in any other airgun past 40 yards.

Both the alpha precision and Lothar Walther barrel have a groove diameter of .254 making a perfect fit for the AVS .254 slugs.

Ordered 3 packs of AVS slugs last week and got them yesterday for my L2 .25

the bottom of that picture should get you started on what works.

Is there any progress on this topic? 
I saw slug specific magazines floating around on Russian YouTube, but i couldn't find any further details on in. 

We in Europe don't have the AVS slugs available, does anyone have any other slugs that tested well? 

 

[armored007]

i got the recommended ones from AVS from EdGun Leshiys youtube channel, it seems to work okay - i do get weird fliers

 

[Foxbow]

Since all slugs available in Europe fall trough the magazine, has anyone tried waxing the slugs? 
I believe .22 rim-fire bullets are also waxed. A micro coating of wax should keep the slugs from sliding trough the magazine i recon?

Bringing the thread back. Anyone tried any new slugs in .22? Zan? Knockouts? Hybrids? Anything that works? I would like to start texting slugs with mine, but hate that I have to spend a ton of money on ones that might not work well. At least with input from experienced fellas like yourselves, I can try some that have already been known to do well. 
thanks guys!
