Michael, those slugs flying at that speed that accurately thru your RAW will produce very humane shots! Have fun hunting

Both 22 and 25 caliber H&N HPII and Heavy slugs are my favorite.
They are extremely accurate and
the T-Slot hollow point is devastating on critters !

Just some quick 50y groups.
I tuned this HM1000x for maximum velocity and harmony. Which put my reg at 160b and the hammer balanced to match.
My goal was to shoot the 30g about 1000fps but it maxed out at 970 and they weren’t as accurate.
I tried to reduce the hammer a bit for the 27g, but it was balanced with the reg and actually made accuracy worse. I’ll need to reduce the reg pressure a little if I want to back off the hammer a little to bring the 27g down to about 1000fps.
Or maybe I’ll just it where it is!

Try a little heavier slug Michael. I am shooting my 36gr slugs at 900 fps and am getting a little ragged hole at 50 yards, at a 100 yards a 1 inch plate is to easy to hit.
Mine are also in the 218 diameter but with pure lead. I found that the NSA slugs were to hard. Though the 218 H&N slugs in 30 grain shot really good as well.

I tried everything from 27g to 34g (.217 & .218) including the new 33g precision slugs. I’m sticking with these for a while. But thanks!

boom baby boom I have real good luck H&N 16 and 20gn in 177 between 950 and 1000. I'll have to look and see if they have them with the BIG hollow point.

I was shooting 26 grain slugs at 1050 fps and was doing great with them. Then mistakenly started shooting some 36 grain and couldnt figure out why scope dope was off so much. The 36 grains are shooting around 910 fps and are scary accurate.
How far have you taken the rifle out to Michael?

Yes, basically the same rifle Michael is shooting. With an additional plenum and a little work getting these to shoot isn't that hard. I did have mine built by Martin so not sure if the barrel is a stock barrel or something special.

I shoot the the 36gr H&N (. 218 ) at 1060fps in my M3 and they are extremely accurate ... they hold just over moa at 200yds in perfect conditions..

i’ve only got 60 yards at my home range. But I took the ballistics from my TBC and enter them into a ballistic program. That was good enough for me to whack a few starlings at 130 yards.

Seeing some of the videos you are putting out, you can tell the accuracy is there. Ultimately that is all that matters
Im surprised you are not swaging slugs yet, to really play with different options. But your lucky down south being able to hunt year round in the somewhat warmth.
