Trenier has them, tried the 35's from 1060 down to 850 - didn't shoot well out of the Impact

i just ordered a pack of the .357 for my challenger SL
and a pack of the .30 for my DW power tuned uragan.
if they shoot anything like the .22 does from my crown
and the .25 does from my S510, i will be pleased !!!

I said my barrek twist rate is 1:14, and that is correct for my Bulldog .357, but when I was saying the FX Hybrid Slugs shoot well for me, I was referring to my FX Maverick VP .30cal, which has the Smooth Twist X Superior liner that has a 1:26 twist rate. and shoot very accurately. I have yet to shoot the FX Hybrid Slugs from my Bulldog yet other than a velocity test.

N2 Shooter, any luck with these .357 slugs on critters yet? I have bought quite a few of them for my challenger pro .357 since it’s laser accurate with them. Have shot 2 foxes so far with them at around 30 yards, dropped both in their tracks, no pass through but significant internal damage. I have shot a few possums as well also with no pass through. At the time I was getting 137 fpe with these at the muzzle. I’ve upped the power to 160 fpe with these. I’d like to test them on a fox or coyote 100+ yards if I ever get the chance. I’d love to hear from others that have taken larger game with these (.357 hybrids) at longer ranges

I have to get my Bulldog back out to the range and get my Thermal scope zeroed in. I accidentally loaded in the SD card and profiles from my X-Sight 4K pro and messed all my thermal zeros up.
Raccoon season Kicks in on November 10th so I'll have some beefier game to try them on shortly.

I don’t think crosman makes the .357 barrels. I think they’re made by Green Mountain. Didnt know the twist was that fast too, slings pellets very well for that twist rate.

They need a 1:24 twist @ 930 fps or a 1:26 twist @ 970 fps for sub MOA at 100 yards. Penetration into Clear Ballistics Gel at 100 yards was still only 2”-3”. I killed a mountain of ground squirrels during initial testing a few years ago while developing the correct meplat size and wall thickness. Missed two shots on a coyote at 95 yards…they didn’t drop as much as I expected and went right over his back. I almost died from Covid a year ago and am waiting for a double lung transplant so I’ll get back in the field after that happens. Everybody be safe!
