Hello again roger , i managed to finally get round to doing a massive slug test not unlike your own with my .25 50ftlb redwolf ( before the covid 19 lockdown might i add) , i tested H&N 33g,35g,37g,39g,41g , inferno slugs in 34g, nielson slugs in 36.2g....and .. .nearly there....prohunters in 30g,32g,38g, the 30g and 32g prohunters shot the best by far at 100 yards, and all of them shot good at 50 yards, so now its a long wait until this lockdown finishes before i can get out again to test past 100yards, stay safe in the meantime roger and dont forget to keep washing them hands ! Cheers
just watched your vid. LOVE my RWhp, it shoots slugs much better than I expected? NSA 20.2's and actually the Fx 22.5's shoot really well, haven't stretched it out past 65yds but no reason to doubt they won't shoot to 100yds no problem!
I’m glad you’ve started this channel Roger. Right up my street! 👍🏼 l shoot neilson .22 and .25 neilson slugs though my Impacts and they are pretty dam impressive. Need patience to get the best out of them but worth the time. Look forward to the next one. Keep up the good work fella.
soda can shooter, what I mean is the .22 cal. BSA available in in the same old models in R10 , Scorpion , etc which is @ 28-30 FPE range , with Nielsen slugs, etc. available in diff. weights, also with the new H & N slugs !
Well I have tried all three .25 slug weights. The 30 and 38 were ok with the 30g grouping around .75 of an inch at 50 yards, the 38 slightly worse and slower and the 32 grain are too long for my FX Crown magazine , but groups were not good. I have my .25 Crown shooting almost single hole groups with 25.4g JSB pellets at circa 955fps. The 33.95 g JSB King heavy does 845fps and also one hole groups. I tried with my standard pellet barrel and also the Slug liner barrel. It’s a pity the accuracy was not as good as pellets, I will have to wait and try the JSB slugs and the Fx hybrid slugs, hopefully next month,
Enjoyed your video! Are .30 caliber slugs available for my Daystate Red Wolf HP in .30 caliber? What is necessary to setup my Red Wolf HP rifle to shoot .30 caliber slugs. I also have a FX Impact X with 700mm barrel but I don't want to go through the complicated set up and expense to shoot slugs out of it.
👍👏👏 thanks for the great video. It proves that you don’t need a fx stx slug liner barrel to shoot slugs 👍. Wondering what the minimum ftlb rifle is needed to shoot these🤔
Paul Ham Hi there , I tried with a mod and made no difference really . What did make a difference was a tiny bit of lube on the slugs , made the groups better for sure .
Thanks for replying roger, im just waiting for the bloody weather to sort it self out and then i can give these prohunter slugs a good try ( with lube) , i use a high power redwolf in .25 but with only a standard barrel and not a ART so im wondering if its going to group well with slugs or not ....time and testing will tell i guess !
Roger, on the money with those slugs working wonders at 100 & 133 as you say in the video you have now to be very careful with what is way beyond the target as a back stop this is bullet territory !. You mentioned the Bipod what is it exactly ? As you know i am a fan of EVO & Tier one bipods but i want a good but slightly cheaper bipod for the "brat rifle". Thanks for all the work you put in looking forward to more good stuff. When you going to hilight those range finder bino's i saw you using saturday ?
HI there, Glad you like the channel . The BiPod was from Country Sports Wholesale , Its fab and works treat . I know Baileys Shooting supplies have them www.baileysshooting.co.uk . Have a chat with Jon and he will fix you up buddy ,
I really like this channel you are a koo dude and you tell it like it is thanks for sharing buddy bsafe... beautiful gun... coming from cyclops joe the scope guy lol
What Rings are you using here if you dont mind me asking. I really love the EagleVision rings, but these are dovetail receivers, so I was considering the zero Limits FX rings.
You don't find a slug your gun likes you find a speed your slug likes with any gun. Wind down the speed to gain the tightest group, don't go buying lots of different slugs, Every slug has its dedicated speed. Buy a tin and find the speed it likes.
Hi roger amazing vid .i am thinking of a daystate safari 65 ft pound In 22 will it shoot the slugs do you think .i don’t think they have the art barrel in 22 .will pellets stay stable at that ft pound . All the best
Hi buddy , thank you so much, glad you liked the video . Always nice to hear that . Yes the Safari will shoot slugs and shoot them well too . Yes the Safari in .22 has the ART barrel and yes it works a treat . The power you are talking about would suggest a heavier slug , the Howler slugs are 20.3 so “might” me a tad light . I would go for a 27 or 30 grain odd ? Wildman slugs work super well out of the Safari as I have seen . You would not be unhappy . Lucky you is what I say 👍😀
The poly barrel in my experience doesn't foul much at all and if you clean your pellets and slugs and lube them lightly with silicon you barely need to run a patch or two per tin. No sense cleaning it spotless. Also you need to be careful not to run too thick a patch down the barrel unless you want to replace the breech oring every time. If this oring is harmed and even a slight leak your accuracy will suffer greatly due to high velocity fluctuation. You will hear it and know. It's a completely different kind of shot report.
timyd2009 Hi there , I am getting 0.0750 with the 22.8’s and 0.0780 with the 28’s . They work seriously well to be honest. I will be testing a bunch more for sure . I love these things !!
Hi am in the process in getting a .25cal daystate either air ranger or the wolverine hi lite in fac useing it as a hunting rifle would I be able to use slugs in any of these air rifles I injoy watching your vids
Yes I agree , I think much further too but I keep it real to about 150 yards max . Don’t want to injure an animal and not be able to follow up as it were .
@@TripleGRogerLait totally agree I don't take shot further then 150 m because I know I will get n clean kill shot with it but must say I did drop a jackal at 90 m head shot with my 22 shooting the javelin slug at 890 fps unit of my fx crown
Where is your Bsa Goldstar? You used to rave about it. Tried those slugs in my fac mk4 with poor results. Waaaay over priced and poor in comparison to H&N, NSA and the JSB Knockouts look promising.
Just subscribed come from cyclops the old one eyed prick!!!!keep up the good work I love drinking beer to the videos keep them coming now get busy cheers!!!!hows that for English slang !!!

Interesting video, just got some in .25 for my FX Crown in .25, will test as soon as the weather is good.
Good luck buddy

now I need to get the Red Wolf out again it's been to long . Dale aka D-RIG
Thank you so much buddy !!
I'm having great results with the Griffin 23 grain cup base slugs in my HP .22 Redwolf.
👍👏👏 thanks for the great video. It proves that you don’t need a fx stx slug liner barrel to shoot slugs 👍. Wondering what the minimum ftlb rifle is needed to shoot these🤔
To be honest I would say around 30 ft/lb odd . Try and see is the best bet boss . Good luck
Very interesting. Subscribed.
Excellent video roger ! During your slug tests did you try them with or without a sound moderator on your redwolf? Did they perform better without it?
Paul Ham Hi there , I tried with a mod and made no difference really . What did make a difference was a tiny bit of lube on the slugs , made the groups better for sure .

hi roger been a while interesting video !!
Nice shooting. What was your fps? You should try the .218 23gr nsa slugs. I seen a video on UA-cam and the red wolf was shooting them will.
The FPS was 940 or around that speed . Worked really well .
Tell me the dims you want from a slug I'll make you a batch and you tell me what you think.
Free of charge of course.
What Rings are you using here if you dont mind me asking. I really love the EagleVision rings, but these are dovetail receivers, so I was considering the zero Limits FX rings.
Did you reprogram the high power level on the rifle.
You don't find a slug your gun likes you find a speed your slug likes with any gun.
Wind down the speed to gain the tightest group, don't go buying lots of different slugs,
Every slug has its dedicated speed.
Buy a tin and find the speed it likes.
Hi roger amazing vid .i am thinking of a daystate safari 65 ft pound
In 22 will it shoot the slugs do you think .i don’t think they have the art barrel in 22 .will pellets stay stable at that ft pound . All the best

If this oring is harmed and even a slight leak your accuracy will suffer greatly due to high velocity fluctuation. You will hear it and know. It's a completely different kind of shot report.
How about your BSA pcp? can it manage to handle slugs @ 21.00gr. with a 28 FPE rifle?
I dont shoot BSA anymore , Just Daystate .
Domingo liao what caliber of slugs in .177 or in .22 with the 21gr?
Great shooting! What is the b.c of these slugs?
timyd2009 Hi there , I am getting 0.0750 with the 22.8’s and 0.0780 with the 28’s . They work seriously well to be honest. I will be testing a bunch more for sure . I love these things !!

Nice shot that's fantastic. may i want to know what slugs size would suitable on my wolf .303 caliber. thanks my friend.
I honestly don’t know , I know about .22 .25 and that’s about it ? I know nothing about .30 call sadly
It doesn't matter my friend. Thanks
With slug you can drop pigeons and rabets up to 150 meters and drops like n stone ps im in south Africa 🇿🇦
Yes I agree , I think much further too but I keep it real to about 150 yards max . Don’t want to injure an animal and not be able to follow up as it were .
