FX Halo Ammunition - Say Goodbye To Pellets
- Thread starter FX-USA
- Start date
I learned from Matt Dubber that especially with shorter barrels regulator settings should be high (150-160 bar minimum) In order to have no air blowing behind a projectile whilst leaving the barrel. I am curious how this advice relates to the lower reg settings encouragement in this announcement.

Sounds good! Time will tell? I don’t believe they will be similar to the price of current slugs or pellets.

How many manufacturers of slugs or projectiles say THEIRS are the best ECT...but it isn't being proven by those buying them. FX claims: The replacement for air gun pellets. We will see if this claim is fact or fiction by those looking for a replacement for air gun pellets. JSB's are hard to beat or replace...it hasn't happened yet.Wow! I'll be saying "goodbye" to my "pellets" as I send them down range.The big hollowpoints up front like on the Daisy pellets? I will await accuracy/grouping reviews from shooters here on AGN. Still not giving up on pellets... Because they get it done at the ranges I shoot...

Lower reg pressures? Or lower velocities? You can already shoot lower weight slugs at lower reg pressures, but still push over 900fps. Would be nice to have something as accurate as pellets at the slower speeds pellets like.

Frederick Axelsson and company innovate like Tesla that’s why I like their rifles, even though I own a Edison too.

Wow this is like the best ever. I’ll believe it when I test it out. But fx might just beat out JSB and take over the pellet market. Can’t wait. But it might be like 6 months before we see any retailers get any of these.

What makes you think jsb aren’t making these for fx. Their pellets are made by jsb, and their hybrids are made by rat sniper. They’re not really into making their own projectiles. Actually my moneys on patriot.

A slug with a large hollowpoint which yields lighter weights. FX has great marketing, I’ll give you guys that. Well, except for that dual Impact shroud idea. Never saw that one come to fruition, obviously.
The way you guys rename existing products and call it new; just don’t understand why consumers don’t see it for what it is but good for y’all.
Pellets aren’t being replaced. Plenty of folks need pellets for shortish distances. They also want a projectile that scrubs off speed and energy quickly so as to be safe for shooting in close proximity to sensitive areas.

Totally agree Derrick! Pellets will never be replaced! They are much more practical in many applications and a higher bc does not interest me on a dairy. I will also bet my best pair of sponge Bob underwear that they will not be more accurate on average or at moderate ranges! Glad to be wrong on that one! Hope they will let me test some

I'd be more interested in performance, more so the expansion for pest control purposes and not over penetration.

Price will mostly determine if I will try the .177 variety. Consistent accuracy/precision will determine if I buy more.
If they are accurate/precise in my guns, then any expansion will be a plus.

When I was pesting with my .22 rimfire, there were so many shots I "couldn't take" even going down to CCI CBs. And all of those projectiles were slugs. When I started pesting with 30 FPE PCPs, there still were many instances where the pest were "too close". For the bulk of pests I shoot pass thrus are a real concern. For me what @zx10wall, wrote in his last paragraph, epitomizes why many come to airguns in the first place.
