Taipan Taipan Veteran 2 standard for slugs?

[Will74]

Okay. Everyone and their cousin have heard nothing but praise about Taipan.
I have been drooling over Veteran 2 550mm in 22 or 25. I would say more over the 22 because there is said to be quite a long magazine. No need to waste air on a 25 or make excessive noise in order to sling something heavy in the future.

My question is, does anyone have data about shooting slugs?
I wouldn't expect miracles but maybe more than 50fpe.
I personally prefer faster slugs and the reasoning is expansion. My Experience is you need way more than 850 to open up. Maybe 950fps with 26gr would do just fine. That might be achieved from 550mm barrel without stressing the rifle too much.

I'm definitely not going down this road without someone encouraging me. Not anymore.
Thanks

Ps.
I would never get the tactical version. The all laminate traditional standard. Yes please!

I have been playing with my Taipan Vetran 2 tactical 700mm barrel with slugs. Mine is 25 caliber. I got the tactical version because it was a great deal used. It shoots JSB KO slugs 33.45 gr really accurate. Also shot the JSB Heavy 33.95 mk2 pellets really accurate. I was able to get the JSB KO slugs up to 998 fps. My understanding is the barrel is the same in standard and tactical. Just different lengths. That's in 25 not 22. Oh and it had the stronger hammer spring talon tunes sells installed when I bought it used. These in the picture are going 943 fps
