FX Slugs

[jps2486]

I've been finding that FX Hybrid slugs in 22 caliber are producing best results in my 100 yard shooting. I only wish they were less expensive. FX's packaging is rather costly, and I wouldn't mind if the slugs were packaged in a tin, cardboard box, or plastic bag so that prices could be competitive with other suppliers.

I recently picked up an FX Maverick in .25. I have both 700 and 500mm barrels. Haven't shot slugs yet but def plan on it. I also want to pick up a .22 barrel (haven't really decided on barrel length yet). Good to hear your opinion on FX slugs. Are you by chance shooting an FX airgun? Only asking to see if my experience might compare to yours.

While I haven't shot the FX .22 slugs (22gr) at 100 yards, I have at 75 and they are really good slugs. However, the reason for not shooting them more regularly is the same fact that you have stated, they are costly. I
thought about just using them for hunting only, but that to me doesn't make sense to switch back and forth on any given day, so I shoot NSA 24.8gr slugs with decent accuracy at that yardage instead.
Bummer that they are not priced competitively as they are excellent in the Impact especially.

I shoot FX slugs in my Crown Saber MK2 with a 600 mm barrel and my Impact MK2 with a 700 mm barrel. The Crown shoots them at 925 fps and the Impact close to 1000 fps.

Hey Jps,
I'll try the FX .22 slugs to see how well they shoot in my RAW. Also, if you haven't done so, look into the Zan .22 slugs - the .217 23 grain shoot nice.

I found one NSA slug 26.8 gr dish base HP that shoots as well as the 25 cal 26 gr Hybrids. The NSA slugs seem to tear game up a bit more which surprised me. The FX slug is considerably longer though. I have shot both to 75 yards with virtually same accuracy.

Have a job to beat ZAN or H&N slugs and I have tried most

Does this mean you like ZAN and H&N slugs ..... ?

Has anyone tried Apex slugs? Looks like $15 / 100 for the FX .22 22gr slugs. Apex is $13.80 / 120 for .22 33gr slugs. Apex also offers 3 diameters ( .217 , .218, .219 ) I'm not affiliated with Apex in any way. I had heard some positive comments on Apex so was curious if anyone had any experience or opinion. I'm still gathering info before I jump into shooting slugs so looking for input.

Yes definitely the best two manufactures of slugs I have tried . Not many I haven’t tried

When it comes to deciding if you want slugs or pellets, you may want to question 1: how far am I shooting? I personally think that anything under a 100 yards is pellet realm unless you prefer slugs. I've amped up and tuned every rig that I own and I now shot slugs in everything including my break barrels. NSA and Zan both make a GREAT product with many different caliber sizes. Apex has Great slugs also, the three of them are in my ammo stock. Find you size and try a few.

The FX Slugs are most definitely a different breed. The design is particularly effective against small to medium game because of how fast they expand. I shot a groundhog with my FX Maverick VP .30cal shooting FX Hybrid Slugs , and I got a full passthrough, but I was able to recover the slug after exit.

L-R: FX Hybrid Slug .30cal, recovered FX Hybrid Slug, FX Hybrid Slug .357 for reference.
