If you don’t know anything about slug barrels, how are you going to help a company develop one? Are you misleading this company into thinking you are smarter than you actually are? It’s ok to just tell a person or company no, I’m not knowledgeable in that area.
Oh, I'm thoroughly ticked off about it. They asked me to test the barrels when I was just trying to get a new model of gun half off, to do a video. At the time it sounded fine. Then I realized I don't have time for this crap, (the last thing I want to do it shoot guns in my free time). I told them this and offered to send the stuff back at my expence, they said, "Just test the barrels, forget the video" ...I told them "I don't know anything about slugs or slug shooting". I have tried to get out of it multiple times. They are not listening. ....Now I told them I was consulting "the experts" on AGN.
so far this is the only good info I have got off this thread: IMHO, choked slug barrel is for lazy slug shooters who are to lazy to measure their groove diameter and size their slugs to.0005 to.001 larger than that. That's right from Roach Creek who knows a heck of a lot more than most of us.
I will relay this info.
Someone told me the prefered slug twist rates but I don't remember them. It was either faster or slower.
...WAIT! :
You can google up what FX uses. Their "superior liner" which comes on most of their guns ranges from 1:18 on the 177 to 1:24 on the 22 and 25. They say it will shoot lighter slugs and hybrids. Their slug liners, meant for heavier slugs are 1:16 for 22 and 25 and 1:18 for 30 caliber. There isn't a slug liner for the 177, maybe that's why the superior liner has a faster twist rate for the 177.
Thank you! Great info! I will let the company know. Thanks Expert! -Nate
