Just testing some slugs and wow, these are some energy dumpers! 970 fps from the barrel, 20 FPE. 5mm penetration is 20% gel

I love those little pills! The varmint knockers as well, they're like granades! Just a bit too expensive for how often I shoot lol.Just testing some slugs and wow, these are some energy dumpers! 970 fps from the barrel, 20 FPE. 5mm penetration is 20% gel

The gel was set up 18-20 yards away. I plan on moving it out further once I find the slug it likes most. I have some Zan 10gr on the way.

I just shot a mag at 30y. Wind is 8mph left to right, gusting higher. I’m 4 miles from the ocean.
1/4” circles
Left group is 5 rounds not waiting on the wind. Right is the last 3 rounds of the magazine waiting on the wind.

Interesting how much 10yds difference makes on expansion. If you every get a chance to collect several iguanas, I would recommend, lining them up together to see what kind of expansion you get and just how many bodies it goes through. I'm betting the 10gr doesn't make it past 1

Wow is right..177 slugs make a 177 a whole new animal. I've been using them for starling popping and boy those little slugs sure make a loud pop when they hit a starling. Rips right through them. Tiny entrance hole, the exit was quite a bit larger. Used them last years squirrel season also. Done a great job. I'm more of a 22 guy but I do like the 177 slugs a lot.

At 25y these are penetrating a 2x4 at 950fps for me. I’m going to be messing with 12 and 16gr slugs next since I recently installed a heavy liner in my impact but it was fairly shocking at the difference vs a pellet already with 10gr.Just testing some slugs and wow, these are some energy dumpers! 970 fps from the barrel, 20 FPE. 5mm penetration is 20% gel

The varmint knockers, jsb, and Zan showed the best expansion. The nsa and H&N don’t expand, I guess they are hollow points more like Sierra MatchKings. I was told the H&N HP II expand better, but they have not released any in 177

A lot of slug shooters look for long range stability, that’s not my interest.
I’m interested in seeing the maximum energy that can be transferred in a hollow point slug.
It’s just an avenue of interest. I will continue to snipe most rodents with a 12 FPE rifle and pellet.

I haven't tried the varmint knocker. The jsb and zan slugs worked best for me also. Same findings with the NSA slugs. NSA was fine for target shooting but not so much pesting/hunting I won't use them.

These little .177 slugs are intriguing. If one could achieve stability and accuracy out to 100 meters or so they could be an ideal small game projectile.
I recall testing them briefly in my HW97K springer on sparrows at short distances…while the accuracy was only average at best compared to pellets the terminal damage was significantly better than any pellet I’ve ever used.
FWIW-I wouldn’t recommend shooting these from a springer. It’s just fairly unhealthy on the power plant system.

They certainly are devastating and 500 shots per tin!
I’m shooting them out of my RedWolf HP .177 with amazing results.
Here’s pics of the mushrooms shot into wet paper.
These are the 13.43 grain knockouts.
The chipmunk was at 40 yards.
My rifle likes the 13.43 slugs better.

I don't know why? The 125 is pushing them out at 940 fps avg. The only pellet I can shoot out of it is a 11.43(?) H&N pellet. Anything lighter and they're traveling to fast for pellets.
