Perhaps you should tell us which gun and caliber you are considering for a better focused answer. My .357 caliber airgun is about equally accurate at 50 yards. At a 100 yards, the slug is twice as accurate. The pellet is a JSB 80.1 grain, the slug is the 145 grain Nosler extreme. The slug launches slower, but retains a higher percentage of it's velocity over distance. The pellet starts out faster and flatter, but after about 50 yards, it drops more than the slug. Might I suggest you get a free copy of Hawke Chairgun4 and play with the values. It tends to be in the ballpark with all ammo where you have a good figure for the BC (Ballistic Coefficient) and weight in grains.
