Here is an other spin off thread for the Huben pistol where members can share what ammo they have found works good,....... or bad in their hand cannon.
Good to hear , I got some Varmit Knockers in the ammo drawer on my gun cabinet, the .223's , I believe.I've been having really good luck with some Varmint Knockers .223 slugs. Had some 28.5gr leftovers, just received some new 22g and 24gr VK slugs to test out this weekend. Been seating them to 2mm with a little tool i made.
If they shoot as good as they look, they are going to be great. Lead beauties.I'm partnering with Kelly doing a little side hustle selling swaged slugs I make. He sold out 2500 in one day. They were .2225 diameter, 39.66 grain, 10.9mm long, pure lead, hand swaged. I plan to make some more as well as some 25s but I've been working too much at my regular job to make much progress. Hopefully that will change soonView attachment 394702
I will second the JST 21.53, @ 850 fps in my GK1 are awesome. I quit trying anything else.I was just about to post this in the main 'Huben Pistol' thread, but your new thread seems more appropriate.
I tested six different pellets with my Huben Pistol GK1 .22 and a Holosun HS507K Red Dot. I wanted to see which gave the best groups. I don't have the 'young eyes' many of you have, but I relaxed, and tried my best from a bench at 25-yards. Each pellet got a 4-shot group (with the FX 25.39 twice).
Background:
- Huben Pistol GK1 .22
- Power Adjust: 1.5 turns out (open). For reference, FX 25,39 shoot at about 33-35 FPE (ft/lbs) at this power.
- Holosun HS507K Red Dot
- 25-yard, 4-shots groups.
- Pistol initially zeroed at 25 yards with FX 25.39.
- Pellets: FX 25.39, JSB 25.39 Red; JSB 18.13, Spot On 18.13; GTO 11.75; JTS Semi-domed 21.53
My question to the experts, is "why do the lighter pellets seem to shoot lower, when they are actually moving faster'? The JSB 18's and GTO 11.75 hit lower?
The GTO and JTS's were the best based on this test. But, the FX/JSB 25's were not far behind.

I've made them for myself for a long while now. They never jam when cycling, snug fit. Max length, great energy, reasonable accuracy. A pleasure to loadIf they shoot as good as they look, they are going to be great. Lead beauties.
Hmmm...muzzle "flip" again...with 25gr, baby, projectiles ?
Go out, rent a firearm of some sort...anything but a .22, and shoot it for a couple of hundred rounds. THEN...talk about muzzle flip !
Start out with a lowly 9mm, then move up to a .45 or a 10mm. See how THOSE provide...muzzle flip.
Seems than some need some wrist strengthening exercises in their daily routine.

best luck with the VK slugs at 28.5gr and 24gr. Was getting sub 1" groups at 25 yards, and knocked the heck out of some 1.5, 2, and 3 inch spinners at 50 yards. my tune is hitting 803-842-796 across one whole mag on a 4500psi fill. about 43fpe.Good to hear , I got some Varmit Knockers in the ammo drawer on my gun cabinet, the .223's , I believe.
