SLUGS for the Kalibrgun Cricket

[FearnLoading]

Just found these through a video on YouTube. They hit much harder than the 25 or 33 grain JSB Heavies. Here is the link to the video 

I always wondered if one could shoot slugs through the cricket without causing the Barrel to get impacted. These slugs seem to be the answer to my question. 

Has anyone tried these slugs on their Cricket?

I never shot the ratsnipers out of my cricket, but did try them in a couple of marauders. They are a very high quality precision swaged slug. Very consistant weights and size. They shot decent, but the high price and the very long wait (5weeks) made them a non option for me. He isn't very good about filling orders in a timely manner. You could also check out John at www.pelletgarden.com he can custom make about anything you want and he ships fast. The quality between the 2 is equal, but John is very good to talk to and goes to extremes to ship fast and make the customer happy.

Thanks AJ. This is helpful

I did not have much luck with the 31 grain grizzlies, but both the 25, and the 33 JSB shoot like a laser in the Cricket.

So the slugs weren't accurate ? Or was the power in the cricket lacking ?

I tested the grizzly .25 to 35 yards the accuracy is very good to more of 35yards bad accuracy

So the slugs weren't accurate ? Or was the power in the cricket lacking ? I'm still tuning- playing with the Cricket. It's shooting 1000 fps with the 25.39's. It shoots the 33.95's at 883. I was really surprised at 18-20 yards, either pellet will stack up in the same hole. I made some targets tracing a washer 5/16" on old cardboard boxes. I easily hit near dead center with both the 25's. I went out next with the grizzlies (shooting 900fps) and was hitting at 2, thru 4 oclock maybe .25-.35 spread at 20 yards. I tried the 33's and with NO scope adjustments they shot the same as the lighter pellets. I then alternate loaded 6 and 6. It duplicated the near exact center hits regardless of the pellet. I was the surprised one, as it does not work the same with the .22 shooting the 15.89's, and then changing to the 18's. (.22 tuned to 880 with 18's) I've read where the diablo pellet operates most accurately on the 930 fps range, and I believe yrrah compares the grizzly shape to a subsonic .22 and mentions a higher speed is needed. Shooting at one inch Christmas balls at a range of 75 yards by aiming at the bottom of the ball with the 25 grain, and the top of the ball with the 33's the gun was better than 80 percent. (bipod and rear bag) shooting quickly off a tailgate. I'm on the last of the first run of the 33's and expecting the second style any day, if they shoot as good as the first run, I'll do about a 1/4 turn on the regulator and see what that gives me. Reg is now 54mm now, and this is the most accurate gun I've used.

Thanks goud123. This is helpful. I think a slight increase in the power of the cricket would help stabilize the slugs better. If the power on the cricket could be tuned to 70fpe, it should ideally help propel the slug much better. Am assuming the BC of the slug will be at par or a tad better than the JSB 33 grain heavies.
