FX In search of 215 ft lb from FX impact M4 .35

[akhuntr]

I currently live in Texas and I’m looking for a slug/velocity combination that will produce the necessary 215ftlb of energy to hunt deer.

I recently purchased an Impact M4 in .35 and would love to be able to hunt deer. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Considering FX is listing the max output at 156 fpe (and that's with max everything) I'd say you choose wrong.

THE IMPACT M4 - FX Airguns

The FX Impact is such a phenomenon and has permanently pushed forward the boundaries of what to expect from an air rifle.

9,00 (.35: up to 211 J – 156 ft/lbsNote: above figures are maximum FAC Power output using slug ammunition, slug powerkit and 800mm barrel.

I’ve seen 250ish out of my 357 mora. My m3 impact in 357 maxed around 180fpe.

You can get 215 ft-lb from an M4 if you trade it in and buy an airgun designed for very high power.

A Benjamin Bulldog should easily provide 215 fpe. It's a simple unregulated hunting gun but for deer or other similar sized game it would be better than a M4 Impact IMHO.

I would recommend a well-known and highly-respected PCP tuner/rodder, but won't bother considering even he can't change water to wine.

I've been down that road and made 200 ft lbs with modifications. I felt that it was being pushed past it's limits so I put that 800mm barrel in my Panthera and was able to make 215 ft lbs with 108 grain NSA slugs which I felt was right at it's maximum for power for the gun and bullet combo. I did take 4 whitetail with it last year but the panthera was too long with a Donny emperor on it so I now have a 357 bulldog I am working on.
