Just watched Gerhard talking about H&N .177 Slugs. My question is: will my FX Streamline with Smooth Twist barrel shoot the H&N slugs well? Or maybe better said, is the Smooth Twist designed to shoot slugs?
Tuning FX Streamline/ Smooth Twist / slugs?

From all I have read I would have to agree with douger.Although with so many new slugs out, as of late, you never know.

I’ve tried a couple slugs in my 22 streamline. It was definitely a no go in mine. It loves 18grn jsb, does okay with hades, but the 18jsb are the pellet for mine

There was someone on here saying that his .177 was accurate with certain NSA. As for the .22 and .25 I didn't have any luck but maybe the .177 is different.

There is only one way to find out, and since these are not "out" yet at the time of this post, it's any one's guess; even the educated guesses are guesses. However, if you use the same barrel configuration, your odds are much better to achieve success. And that is my guess

Excuse my ignorance but does the Streamline have the ORIGINAL Smooth Twist barrel? If so, I don't think you'll have much luck with slugs. Believe me, I've tried with mine (Royale 500 & Boss). OST barrels were designed around JSB pellets & do that job SUPERBLY but the physics are all wrong for slugs.

The streamline has the old school smooth twist with the last bit of the barrel rifled. Still a very good pellet barrel.

That was probably me.
I have been on a quest to find "one" ammo for all of my guns. Currently I am using NSA 17.5gr for my MCT and M3. Both shoot lights out. I am also using the 12.5gr for my Daystate MK4 and FX Royale 400. And yes, the Royale does have the Smooth Twist barrel. I have heard the .22 and .25 versions of the Royale doesn't like slugs. I have yet to try them on my 500. But I can assure you, at least with my gun, the 400 in .177 does shoot slugs well out to 100 yards. I only say 100 yards as that's the longest distance I have to shoot them on my property.

My smooth twist barrel shoots NSA 17.5 gr .217 -HS-HP-DB out of my HW100 at 910fps very well.
But I must say , the gun is more consistent and is a lazer with the 18.1 JSB pellets.
The low was when i dropped of the reg.
