Shooting the red wolf at 201 yards, 25Cal, first time with slugs

[Flintsack]

Finally got my 25 caliber RedWolf barrel mated to an action with a Heli board. I really wanted to give it my best shot trying slugs in 25, the Heli board is a huge advantage.

I shot these two groups today at 201 yards. I was pretty impressed. I was dealing with huge Mirage issues.

I would say this combo has huge potential.

Wow Mike, they seem to stay together good at over two hundred! Looking forward to seeing more. Thanks for sharing your groups.

Wow! That is great!

It's difficult to say it's good without a reference of MOA measurement. Is the black line on each target 1" long? If so, that's GREAT for 200 yards.

hi mate.

glad to see you stretching the legs on your .25 Redwolf, i have the same combo as yourself and fitted a helliboard which i must say is a great bit of kit and after a bit of re-programing i have got myself a good tune with 25.4 g fx pellets, 33.95g king heavy mk2 ,and 26g jsb hades all on one setting.

once the crap weather over here in England gets better i would like to find a good tune on my helliboard for 33g zans as i found them to group excellent with my Daystate factory board and would like to see what a faster velocity provides.in accuracy at 200 yards.

I am going to hang up the 25 for a bit, and spend some time with the 22 and the 17 at long range. I’ll be candid, I bought a couple different slugs in 25, tried them, they shot OK, I don’t feel like investing another couple hundred dollars to try all the different slugs until I find the magic one.

I really need to buy a hell a board for the 25 if I’m going to go after it.

Plus, I want to invest some time in my 257 scandalous.

I am not sure if the barrels are choked or not, Others on the general forum could answer that. I have the newest barrel on both my 17 and 22.

I scrubbed my 22 and 25 barrels with JB bore paste when I received it. I believe it smoothed it out significantly. I did not scrub the 17 as I didn’t want not want to do damage to it.

I removed the shroud from the 22. I no longer am convinced that that’s a big move.
