This year, four of the top ten shot with this slug in a custom 7mm build. Overall winner Derrick Wall cleaned the course and won the three way shoot off Sunday morning, with a first round hit on a 12” square target at 600yds. And 400 feet up a mountain side. 60” of hold off (20” for spin drift and 40” for wind).

That is VERY impressive shooting.

Congrats Scott.

Super cool gun build (pictures seen elsewhere) and awesome work on the R&D to create the gun and the slug it fires.

Cutting edge/pushing boundaries/just plain cool!

And @zx10wall crazy good shooting bud! Congrats on the win.

What kind of rig do you shoot in .284?

Is a .284 round the 6mm PPC round of the airgun big bore world?

That's Impressive, . Our tooling for Javelins in 218 absolutely decimated the competition in winds congratulations Matt and FX. Maybe there is scope, I think I can do something for the big bore world.

@Scotchmo Are the participants casting their own projectiles or is someone selling these slugs?

As for the other participants, it’s highly variable with some casting their own while most purchase slugs, in cast, swaged, or CNC turned.

I cast the slugs used by the four 7mm shooters. The mold is available for purchase, but it is very unlikely that someone would be selling these 7mm slugs as there are currently no 7mm airguns being sold.

You guys are heroes!

𖦏 First shot hit at 600 yards — on a 12" (30cm) target!

𖦏 60" (1.52m) holdoff at 400 yards...!


We live in glorious times for airgunners!
