Depends on slug weight. With pellets you should have no problem at any weight. With slugs, if you go past 25 grains on the standard superior, you may have accuracy issues. If you put the slug power kit in your 22cal, your going to have to raise up the reg pressure significantly from stock. The only way to avoid really raising the reg high is put in the .25cal hammer weight, which is an in between the 177/22 cal weigh and the 30cal weight which comes with the slug power kit. If you interested in what it looks like I can post a pic. Again, it depends on what your wanting to shoot.

Here you go:
The bottom one is the .177/22cal hammer weight
Middel is the .25cal
Top is the 30cal that comes with the slug power kit.
I get 1025fps with a JSB 25.39 at 155/130 on the regs with the 25cal hammer weight, slug pin probe and Huma hammer spring.
I squirrel hunt at 910fps with the MRD's and 950fps with the JSB KO slugs in .217 or .216 MKII.

That top weight weighs this much-
Had it in my wildcat mk2 30 shooting the 44.75’s at around 935 FPS. I swapped it in for a 16G tungsten on the left-
and now I’m at a steady 955 without touching any hammer adjustments or reg pressure settings.
Did the same by adding a 14G tungsten weight on my 25 MK2 wildcat, and without touching anything but swapping weights, it went from 977 shooting the 28.4g barracuda hunter extremes to 1010 FPS, and at 50 yards still very very accurate.
1” target with 1/2” bulls was the final sight in, and this guy presented himself 2 yards behind my target doing push ups against a tree:
Head shot at 50 yards-

I also forgot to tell you that I called FX and they sent me the .25cal hammer weight for free because it was under warranty and I ask for more power.

The Slug power kit has 2 items: the pin probe and the 30cal hammer weight. I run the pin probe and the 25cal hammer weight in my 22cal Maverick Sniper. I also have a 25cal Maverick Sniper that I run the pin probe and the 30cal hammer weight. If you are wanting to make your gun shoot the 69-foot pounds as advertised, you will have to shoot the 30cal hammer weight with the slug pin probe at 175/150 reg pressure to get it. I maxed mine out at 69.5-foot pounds shooting the 34 grain JSB pellets doing 170/145 on the regs.
