    I really like the side angle on the shots. I see them better and can actually see them flying also. This was a nightmare of a video to make. Thank you Ted. You're doing us all a huge service.

    That .30 is just insane!😳 You need to do a video with .22 Plinkster, your best airgun vs his best rimfire at 100:)

      You should emphasise a word THAT. Other FX .30 instances are not that accurate. The barrel was probably selected among tens.

  • @michaell397
    @michaell397 4 года назад

    On a side note, I got about the same with the Heavy liner in .22. In contrast to what Matt D. stated that they absolutely had to be choked, I took a chance and removed the choke. The groups with my 34 gr slugs went from 2.50's-2.75"'s to well under an inch. So much for needing a heavy choke on the Superior "Heavy" Version!
    I would love to see some kind of test with slugs in the .30 bbl. As the .30 certainty seems to have an advantage in your gun. Thank You for the tremendous efforts Ted!

  • @jamesdonnelly3866
    @jamesdonnelly3866 4 года назад +1

    Okay I know that video was a lot of work! Thanks! Is there any chance you can compare the Slug A to the superior Heavy with some different slugs. That would be wonderful. Have a Slug A in my 25 now Shooting NSA 36.2 out to 200 yards with good results and a Superior Heavy on order. Would like to see if I made a wise purchase and what I can expect. Stay safe and well in these scary times. Jim

  • @ExetPlan
    @ExetPlan 3 года назад

    Thanks Ted. Great 'real world' data. But the elephant in the room here, is that at least at 100 yards out, slugs are not outperforming pellets. I'd like to see this same test at both 150 and 200 yards, where slugs (in theory) should shine. Again, thanks for all the hard work.

  • @guinnster1
    @guinnster1 4 года назад +2

    What is the science behind "seasoning" the barrel when switching to a different pellet?

  • @gordy1961
    @gordy1961 2 года назад

    So glad you are showing results at 100yds, pointless doing at shorter ranges as many others do. I have the Mk2 FX 2020 in .25 with the 700mm superior liner. Results are good with JSB Hades and H&N Grizzly, prefers these to King & King Heavy. It will need fine tuning to be really good with FX Hybrids but they are insanely consistent to +/- 2fps. I'm zeroing at 65yds however wonder if you would recommend the superior heavy liner for any reason & at what weight slug you would consider it worthwhile swapping to the heavy liner (if there is any point). Thanks in advance, Gordon

  • @thehaze1972
    @thehaze1972 4 года назад

    Hades don't work well in any of my guns because they make them 5,50mm, instead they should have selected the most sold size of the standard 15.89gr pellet which ought to be 5,52mm and which coincidentally works well in all my .22:s. Thanks for taking the time to do this comparison since it would be very hard for any of us regular Joes to gather all the hardware needed for the test. Big thumbs up!

It says it comes with a superior heavy liner. Do you have any experience with this kit? Thanks for all your work.

    What exactly does seasoning the barrel achieve in this test? Is it more to do with settling in the new regulator/hammer setting after each change or does it have to do with different fouling patterns for different projectiles? Surprised with how much of a difference it made.
    Appreciate the work Ted!

    I hope the new JSB .25 slug will arrive soon as the hybrids do not go well and they are dirty and very very expensive.

      Same here!!!
      fx just sucking up our (their!) money.
      Do you only shoot pellets?
      Since we can only choose between jsb's, normal and heavy's, (there is just NOTHING else, like the spoiled .22 where there is lots to choose from, and the .30 being out of stock all the time) i would like to try some nsa slugs to spread my options.
      I have not tried it nor have i changed anything of my impact so I figured I need the heavy liner.. but other than the hunting youtube commercial videos....when they don't show their 10.000 missing shots of course....with these results..... I think i'l stick with the standard stx 2020 liner for now :)
