If you have a Huben, you know they require a .254 slug. That gives us NSA & AVS. Wondering if anyone has tried the ZAN .253?
Any other suggestions?

Slugs for 25 Huben

I have tried the Zans (pictured below on left) in my 2020 K1. They did not perform as well as others, including AVS and NSA. The best of all for me have been the Altaros, on the right side of the picture:
I haven’t found any slugs in lighter weight that shoot as well as the Altaros, so I use pellets if I don’t need 100fpe (which I dont 99% of the time!)

@Keyman62421 New England Airguns sells some cast boattails in .22. I assume their equivalent bottails in .25 shoot similarly.
Maybe check out some Varmint Knockers on EBay. I’m not familiar with the .25 ammo. These are suggestions based upon what works well in the .22.

Zan .253 38.5 gr shoot very well from my Huben 25. At 40 yards hole in hole. 128 yards was promising but rest was not steady. Shooting at 900fps, 140 bar reg. No real tuning.
Of note, NSA .254s were too tight to push into the mag easily, but seemed to shoot fine. Stopped using to avoid jamming as I do not enjoy clearing a jam in this rifle.
AVS 46s .253s on the way. Hoping for max energy and accuracy with easy loading.

They work well in my GK1. You must adjust the pressure to match the slug. I am hitting 1 inch spinners at 50 yards on a sandbag with a red dot.

LOVE the 50gr Altaros! I can shoot pretty much hole in hole at 60yds. I recently got my Huben back from servicing. I haven't had the chance to push them at 80/100/120 yet. That's about the farthest I'll ever shoot unless I wanna take a chance at a distant coyote. Incidentally, mine shoots the 38gr Zans decently. I've also shot some 26 grain Zans. Not too sure about them.

The Zan .253, 33gr shoot very well out of my GK1 so much so that I have designed a custom die similar to the Zan shape in .253 diameter that shoots even better.
I presently have five different weights: 33.8, 36.8, 40.4, 44, and 48.8 grains. I’m selling them all for $22. The 33.8gr and 36.8 gr have 150 count per tin, the 40.4gr have 140 ct, the 44gr have 125 ct, and the 48.8gr have 120 count.
I’m offering a sampler pack of 110 count each of three different weights. You pick the three weights that you like and I’ll send 330 ultra high quality custom slugs to you. The price is $40 plus $10 for priority shipping. So $50 for 330 custom slugs shipped priority. You’ll receive them within five days shipped from Hawaii.
