Does anyone have any experience with lighter .22 slugs in the hw110? I see NSA has a 17.5 grain and 20 grain. Anybody try them in this rifle? Any performance info?
Thank you
Thank you
Hw110 st .22 slugs?

We did. We were very surprised how well the HW 110 shoots slugs! This is most probably due to the short twist rate (1:16). Both diameter .217 and .218 work well. However, the upper weight limit is 25 grains.

Yes. We actually use an HW100 to test production batches of our Slug HP .177. The 13-grain version seems to work particularly well.

HN Sport - thanks for the info.
There are a lot of AGN HW100 and 110 owners of both .177 and .22 cal rifles who would be interested in any slug results at various distances.
Would like to see the .22 28 FPE HW100 or 110 results especially. I.e., group sizes, velocities, etc
I’m curious how the 17 or 20g would do vs JSB 15.89 or 18.1g?

From the 50 Joule/38 ft lbs rifles the 21 grain would make for a very flat shooting trajectory.

All of our HW100/110 test weapons are not adjustable. The test guns for the slugs have a muzzle energy of 30 Joule/21 ft-lb in .177 and 40 Joule/30 ft-lb in .22. Therefore the V0 depends on the weight of the slugs. For example, the 13 grain slugs fly at an V0 of approx. 900 ft-sec. The benchmark von all production batches is the following: At 50 yards two consecutive shot groups of 10 shots have to stay both under one inch (outer diameter).

That’s a pretty good benchmark for 50y,(I.e., within 1 inch); especially if your test environment is outside. Do you have and groups or pics you can show with the .22 cal ( 110 or 100) shooting slugs. That is my question.

Do you know what twist rate your .177 test barrel has?
I've struggled with your .177 slugs, all other calibres are fine, pellets and slugs no problems, except the .177 slugs.
I have the power, just missing the success.

We test each production lot (150 - 200 tins) on our 50m indoor shooting range. We don't use paper anymore, but an electronic target system. This makes it easier to evaluate and store the data of each lot. I don't have any pictures of shot groups.

Ok..thanks
Q. Not familiar with electronic targets system. Is it possible to “consider” posting any future electronic target groups? People are interested in seeing your results. Especially, since you mention ‘ how well they shoot.’

The shot groups of a production batch can be sufficient (see limit values above) or, in very rare cases, less than half an inch in diameter.
But for other shooters this doesn't help much, random great shot groups are just that, random, and every gun/barrel is different anyway.
The statement “how well they shoot” primarily referred not to our slugs, but to the air rifle. We didn't expect the HW 100/110 to shoot slugs with even moderate results.
