FX Halo slugs

[MaineJim]

Price will be the determining factor for me though it seems timing is off to launch a new projectile when we cant even find pellets in stock.
It's like the new 30 Supper Carry by Federal.new round when you cant buy most ammo,bullets for reloading or primers.

Received this info from FX

"At this time we do not have any information on when the Halo Slugs will be available. They are not a Gen 2 patriot slug. The FX Halo projectiles are their own design"

The cost & performance will be the factor, then the availability. For my skillset and type of shooting, I will take the surplus .22 pellets that you all won't need when these take over the market...

My Wildcat Sniper .22 loves NSA 24.8’s. I’ll definitely try some Halos. I don’t plink or practice with slugs. Typically shoot JSB 18.13’s as they work extremely well out to 50 yards (the farthest I’ve tinkered with so far).

ETA for these is simple, keep an eye on the horizon.
I love my FX guns but my excitement over anything new from them is nonexistent. Seen too many things get trotted out for the dog and pony show
and then………………..
with some more…………………………………
then finally!!!………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..still nothing.
How long does FX think they are going to hold a customer’s attention with products that only exist on YouTube?
Think they would transfer some money away from R&D and put it into production and logistics.

FX appears to intentionally and habitually announce a new widget well before availability. This is likely intentional. It’s called “pull marketing”. The idea is to get potential buyers salivating and demanding the widget. This demand gives the pull marketer a much more educated guess on raw materials and production time. For financial nerds, it’s a beautiful way to run a business. The big item those wonks miss is consumer frustration. It erodes brand loyalty. Ruger a few years ago used pull marketing, and they eventually figured out that there are ways to estimate production without ticking off the masses.
