FX Halo Ammunition - Say Goodbye To Pellets

[GeneT]

I appreciate you AGN members linking the video. Thanks.

I don't appreciate you youtubers — who love to waste 14 minutes of our precious time only to inform us that:

● .30cal Halo will come in 44.5gr
● larger calibers will come out first .30 and up
● precision at 25m is "enough for hunting," not one hole, at 968fps

Matthias

A good way to head that off would be to release actual, useful, information. 'Tubers gonna 'tube - if they get nothing to run with, they'll make something up. (And I completely agree that they largely waste our time!)

Once again the poor pea ( .177 ) shooters are thrown under the bus

Isn't this in the news a bit early? April 1st is a few weeks off

 

[tigerhunter]

They got me again. April fools

HA-(Highly Anticipated), LO-(Lamentably Obscure) where art though oh Pelug???

We keep hearing priced similar to pellets, same weights as pellets. Well what are they? We know the .30 weights but no other ones, are they going to be heavy weights or more middle weight pellets with there weights. BTW there are some pretty expensive pellets out there and that's my guess where this is going. Clarity would be nice on this subject.

Or a surprise launch!

Much ado about...




... nothing.



To be exact: 587 ados.
About nothing.

Yepp — the other number doesn't change: "nothing" is still equivalent to 0.


587 : 0
What is the sport that has games with such high loosing scores...?

Sorry gotta say BS

 

[Dairyboy]

I think someone else is gonna come out with these before FX does at this point.

 

[bchannell]

Hmmm just what we need , make the projectile look just like a bullet, of course the law will think "it's just a bb gun "

While I'm wholeheartedly for innovation, I do worry that we're racing toward regulation. We'll see what this new generation of pellets will bring with them.

I really hope you are right, Dillon!!

Because that will mean one thing: The price will be lower...!

[FelixS]

Release them already...

 

[Dairyboy]

It's been almost 2 years....I'm very curious about these

 

[snappy]

i want some ,whats the price going to be

 

[Peashooter]

It is more a case of, when will we be able to sample this " meal "
If you are pea shooter like me, well we will probably be served dead last and only get the crumbs of the affluent table.

 

[Caliber 22]

At the end it seems like this stuff is born dead.

FX Halo could have been a kickstarter project, at least i know of one, where after years PPL have gotten 50 % of what was promised, and no remaining 50 % in sight.

The pellet has provided accuracy and efficiency; the staple projectile of choice of airguns for the last century… until now. Introducing the latest innovation from FX Airguns: FX Halo Ammunition. The replacement for the airgun pellet.

FX Halos share the best characteristics of the pellet (high accuracy, low working pressures needed to shoot at optimum speeds) but with nearly double the ballistic coefficient making them more accurate than pellets.

The FX Halo was conceived in the mind of Fredrik Axelsson. He knew that the pellet was going to quickly fade in relevance. Modern PCP Airguns simply don’t need the parachute/shuttlecock shape of the pellet to achieve accuracy anymore. The pellet design also limits the ability to shoot at further distances with an airgun, and shooters desire to stretch their rifles out to further distances with extreme precision.

Fredrik perfected the FX Halo with the help of the famed FX South African R&D team (Matt Dubber, Hein Fromann, Roelf Vorster) as well as renowned tooling engineer and die manufacturer Kenith Almeida. The combination of these minds working together has created an airgun ammunition that will replace pellets and give an easy ammunition for air rifles to shoot accurately. Perfect for the shooter that wants the performance of slugs but at pellet settings and tuning.

Halos will come in the standard weights of the most popular pellets for each caliber. They shoot at more or less the same speeds to match the velocity and efficiency of rifles tuned for common pellets, but with a much higher BC. This creates extreme stability in flight to provide enhanced accuracy.

Expect that the FX Halo Ammunition will replace your pellets as the common round used for everything from pest control, small game hunting, target shooting, and backyard plinking. The future of airgun ammo is FX Halo Ammunition. FX Halos are coming soon. More details to follow.

sweet!

Settings will be more or less the same between pellets and Halos of the same weight and caliber. The idea is you don't need to hotrod a gun and power it up. You can keep shot efficiency and low reg pressures!
